Objective To assess the therapeutic efficacy of colonic tumor with targeted microbubbles encapsulated VEGFR2 monoantibody (mAb) combined with ultrasonic abrupted destroy.Methods Seventeen Balb/C nude mice with subcutaneous colonic carcinoma xenografts were divided into three groupsgroup A (5 mice) underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) examination and sham ultrasonic abrupted destroy;group B (6 mice) underwent lipid-microbubbles administration combined with ultrasonic irradiation;group C (6 mice) underwent VEGFR2 monoantibody-loaded microbubbles injection combined with ultrasonic irradiation.Red fluorescent protein(RFP) was labeled to all the nude mice model.Both CEUS and flurography were performed before and one week after abrupted destroy.The size,fluroscent area and fluroscent intensity(FI) and vessel density (VD) of each tumor were measured and compared.Results The parameters of length,fluroseent area,FI and VD of each tumor before abrupted destroy were no significant difference among three groups ( P ＞0.05).Parameters of post-sham ultrasonic abrupted destroy in group A were higher than those before sham ultrasonic abrupted destroy ( P ＜0.05).FI and VD in group B were significantly lower than those after abrupted destroy( P ＜0.05).There were no difference of length,fluroscent area of tumor in group B between pre- and post- ultrasonic abrupted destroy (P ＞0.05).Length,fluroscent area,FI and VD of each tumor in groups C were decreased significantly compared with post ultrasonic abrupted destroy ( P ＜0.01 ).There were significant difference of length,fluroscent area,FI and VD of each tumor among groups after ultrasonic abrupted destroy( P ＜0.05).Conclusions VEGFR2 mAb-loaded lipid microbubble combined with ultrasonic abrupted destroy can improve the therapeutic efficacy of colonic tumor.
