Cathespin B‐Initiated Cypate Nanoparticle Formation for Tumor Photoacoustic Imaging
Abstract
Cathepsin B (CTSB) is a lysosomal protease that is overexpressed in the early stage of many cancer types. Precise evaluation of CTSB expression in vivo may provide a promising method for the early diagnosis of cancers. By virtue of the high-resolution PA imaging modality, a "smart" photoacoustic (PA) probe Cypate-CBT, which can self-assemble to cypate-containing nanoparticles in response to abundant GSH and CTSB inside tumor cells, was developed...
