Nuclear medicine, including the use of radioactive materials for imaging and therapy, has its role well estabilished. For nuclear medicine applications, not only the choice of radioisotope with characteristics that matchs the application purpose, but also the isotope "carrier" needs to be taken into account, as it "controls" the radiotracer biodistribution and other important biological interactions. Noteworthy, these "carriers" can be of any type, such as nanomaterial or antibodybased. Since nuclear medicine can be as multidisciplinary as the biomedical engineering field, herein, I have chosen to explore both routes of achieving molecular imaging and cancer theranostics: using nanoparticle and antibody-based probes. In chapter 2, we have demonstrated the synthesis of size-optimized ultrasmall porous silica nanoparticles (UPSN), with improved pharmacokinetics, i.e. prolonged blood circulation half-life and reasonably fast systemic clearance. We have systematically investigated the influence of vascular architecture and stromal microenvironment on the accumulation and retention of as-designed UPSN in two different triplenegative breast cancer models. After successfully determining that UPSN can highly accumulate in tumor tissues through EPR effect, we decided, in chapter 3, to evaluate if the same nanoparticles could act as a nanocarrier of a theranostic isotopic pair 86/90Y. In that chapter, we demonstrated that the nanoparticles, when radiolabeled with 86Y, were selectively taken up by tumors cells and were clearly visualized through PET imaging at all time points investigated. 90YDOTA-UPSN provided promising therapeutic results by significantly reducing tumor volumes when compared to all the other groups investigated and by significantly increasing average survival. In chapter 4, we have employed a theranostic approach using the isotopic pair 86Y/90Y targeting tissue factor in a pancreatic cancer model through the use of ALT836 monoclonal antibody. We demonstrated that the anti-TF monoclonal antibody, when radiolabeled with 86Y, allowed PET imaging of pancreatic cancer tumor tissue with excellent tumor contrast and could allow for dosimetric calculation of potential dose that would be received with its isotopic pair 90Y. When radiolabeled with 90Y, ALT836 provided evidence of anti-tumor effects and increased average survival. We have evaluated and characterized the ability of 52Mn-labeled YY146, a specific antibody targeting human CD146 to act as a CD146-specific breast tumor imaging agent, with capability of delineating different CD146 expressions. PET imaging, for up to 7 days, of mice bearing three different breast tumors were carried out and revealed radiotracer uptake in tumors that strongly (r2=0.98, p

Gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies account for a large portion of cancers worldwide. Although incidence of esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers has decreased in recent years, pancreatic and liver cancer have increased. The mainstay of GI cancer therapy is chemoradiation and surgery. Despite significant medical advancements, diagnosis and therapy for GI cancers remain challenging due to tumor cell resistance to chemoradiotherapy. The tumor’s increased cell signalling due to excessive transcription factor activation and increased stellate cell activity leads to collagen deposition formation of a dense stroma around the tumor, which prevents drugs from reaching the malignant cells. This leads to tumor chemoresistance. To circumvent these difficulties, drug therapy targeting the tumor’s specific microenvironment and the additive anticancer effect of phytochemicals can allow for more effective treatment. This volume will be the first on the market on the topic of phytochemicals and their effect on the tumor microenvironment (TME). TME is an emerging area of research and the book will be a welcome introductory addition to the field.

The common theme of my 5-year PhD research is to channel progress in spin physics and nano-bio-materials into meaningful improvements in the theoretical studies, methodological developments, and advanced applications of magnetic resonance (MR) to: 1) MR Molecular Imaging: to detect lesions (especially cancers) at early stages through imaging the existence and locations of physiologically important biomarkers; and 2) MR Nano Medicine: to cure diseases (especially cancers) by targeted therapy through nanodrugs and hyperthermia. The research activities had encompassed a balanced approach to develop a rigorous theoretical understanding on sensitively imaging magnetic nanoparticles by active- feedback spin dynamics of selective self-excitation and fixed-point dynamics on one hand and sound methodology with biomedical applicability to early pancreatic cancers and brain tumors detection on the other. Computer simulations, phantom experiments of superparamagnetic nanoparticles, and in vivo experiments of orthotopic pancreatic cancer and brain tumor mouse models had been used to validate the applicability and efficacy of our proposed methods. The major research projects and achievements with my coworkers under the supervision of Prof. Yung-Ya Lin include: 1) Developed original MR method, "Active-Feedback Fixed-Point Imaging", for early cancer detection, with both quantum and classical formulation of the spin dynamics. 2) Demonstrated 3-5 times of enhancement in the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of early pancreatic cancers which were targeted and labeled by CA19-9 conjugated magnetic nanoparticles by our "Spin Avalanche Amplification" method, based on statistics from 7 orthotopic pancreatic cancer mouse models. 3) Demonstrated 4-10 times of enhancement in the CNR of early GBM (glioblastoma multiforme, the most common and aggressive form of brain cancers) by our "Active-Feedback Fixed-Point Imaging" method, based on statistics from 20 orthotopic GBM mouse models. 4) Developed novel multifunctional, theranostic, smart nanoparticles, called "UCS-Gd-Dox" for MR imaging and targeted cancer therapy. By conjugating Gd3+ at the stable core of unibody core-shell polymer (UCS) and encapsulating doxorubicin (Dox) at the shell in a pH-sensitive manner, we achieved a selective drug release (75% difference between pH 7.4 and 5.5) and MR imaging (r1 = 0.9 and 14.5 mM-1s-1 at pH 7.4 and 5.5, respectively). The anti-cancer effect is significantly better than free cancer drugs in tumor-bearing mouse models, presumably due to enhanced permeability and retention effect and pH-triggered release. 5) Formulated more accurate theoretical description to magnetic resonance hyperthermia, including aggregation/disruption of monomers/clusters and nonlinear response under strong external magnetic field.
