RGD-Based Strategies To Target Alpha(v) Beta(3) Integrin in Cancer Therapy and Diagnosis

Danhier, Fabienne, Le Breton, Aude, Préat, Véronique·2012·Molecular Pharmaceutics

Abstract

The integrin α(v)β(3) plays an important role in angiogenesis. It is expressed on tumoral endothelial cells as well as on some tumor cells. RGD peptides are well-known to bind preferentially to the α(v)β(3) integrin. In this context, targeting tumor cells or tumor vasculature by RGD-based strategies is a promising approach for delivering anticancer drugs or contrast agents for cancer therapy and diagnosis. RGD-based strategies include antagonist drugs (peptidic or peptidomimetic) of the RGD sequence, RGD-conjugates, and the grafting of the RGD peptide or peptidomimetic, as targeting ligand, at the surface of nanocarriers. Although all strategies are overviewed, this review aims to particularly highlight the position of RGD-based nanoparticles in cancer therapy and imaging. This review is divided into three parts: the first one describes the context of angiogenesis, the role of the integrin α(v)β(3), and the binding of the RGD peptide to this integrin; the second one focuses on RGD-based strategies in cancer therapy; while the third one focuses on RGD-based strategies in cancer diagnosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
