Effect of Photothermal Therapy Using Gold Nanoparticles Conjugated with Hyaluronic Acid in an Intracranial Murine Glioblastoma Model

Purpose: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor. Conventional treatments for GBM include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of these. However, emerging therapies, such as hyperthermia treatments, are being developed. One of these new...

Conventional treatments for GBM include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of these. However, emerging therapies, such as hyperthermia treatments, are being developed. One of these new therapies is nanoparticle-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT), a non-invasive treatment that converts light into heat using photoagents such as plasmonic nanoparticles. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) has been described as a potential inhibitor of tumor progression and exhibits a high affinity for the CD44 receptor, which is present in GBM cells. The in vivo efficacy of gold nanorods (GNRs) biofunctionalized with HA-700kDa in PTT has been evaluated in a murine GBM model. Animals and Methods: Adult male C57/BL-6 mice (N=15), 3–8-month-old, were used for PTT experiments. CT2A cells were injected into the mouse brain to establish a GBM model. Tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into three groups: Control (untreated, n=5), GNRs (injected with GNRs, n=5) and PTT-treated (injected with GNRs and treated with laser, n=5). After GNR injection, mice were irradiated with a laser at 0.98 A (250mW) for 25 min over three consecutive days. Results: As observed in the analysis of tumor sizes from all MR images, animals treated with a laser following GNR injection exhibited significantly smaller tumor sizes compared to control and GNR-treated animals one week after the treatment. In addition, PTT treatment led to a notable improvement in the exploratory behavior of the treated animals and an increase in their life expectancy compared to untreated control mice. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the efficacy of GNR-based-PTT, applied to an orthotopic tumor model, using GNRs biofunctionalized with HA to target GBM CT2A cells. The treatment resulted in a reduction in tumor mass and an extension of life expectancy in GNR-PTT treated mice.The authors would like to thank Soledad Martinez for the excellent technical assistance.
