Marginal resection during resection of a spinal metastasis is frequently difficult because of the presence of important tissues such as the aorta, vena cava, and dura mater, including the spinal cord adjacent to the vertebral body. Thus, there is an urgent need for novel intraoperative imaging modalities with the ability to clearly identify bone metastasis. We have proposed a novel nanocarrier loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) (ICG-lactosome) with tumor selectivity attributable to its enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. We studied its feasibility in intraoperative near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence diagnosis with ICG-lactosome for imaging spinal metastasis. A rat model of subcutaneous mammary tumor and a rat model of spinal metastasis of breast cancer were used. Fluorescence emitted by the subcutaneous tumors and the spinal metastasis were clearly detected for at least 24 h. Moreover, imaging of the dissected spine revealed clear fluorescence emitted by the metastatic lesion in the L6 vertebra while the normal bone lacked fluorescence. This study was the first report on NIR fluorescence imaging of spinal metastasis in vivo. NIR fluorescence imaging with ICG-lactosome could be an effective intraoperative imaging modality for detecting spinal metastasis.

Shortwave Infrared

Fluorescence imaging is a method of real-time molecular tracking in vivo that has enabled many clinical technologies. Imaging in the shortwave IR (SWIR; 1,000–2,000 nm) promises higher contrast, sensitivity, and penetration depths compared with conventional visible and near-IR (NIR) fluorescence imaging. However, adoption of SWIR imaging in clinical settings has been limited, partially due to the absence of US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved fluorophores with peak emission in the SWIR. Here, we show that commercially available NIR dyes, including the FDA-approved contrast agent indocyanine green (ICG), exhibit optical properties suitable for in vivo SWIR fluorescence imaging. Even though their emission spectra peak in the NIR, these dyes outperform commercial SWIR fluorophores and can be imaged in the SWIR, even beyond 1,500 nm. We show real-time fluorescence imaging using ICG at clinically relevant doses, including intravital microscopy, noninvasive imaging in blood and lymph vessels, and imaging of hepatobiliary clearance, and show increased contrast compared with NIR fluorescence imaging. Furthermore, we show tumor-targeted SWIR imaging with IRDye 800CW-labeled trastuzumab, an NIR dye being tested in multiple clinical trials. Our findings suggest that high-contrast SWIR fluorescence imaging can be implemented alongside existing imaging modalities by switching the detection of conventional NIR fluorescence systems from silicon-based NIR cameras to emerging indium gallium arsenide-based SWIR cameras. Using ICG in particular opens the possibility of translating SWIR fluorescence imaging to human clinical applications. Indeed, our findings suggest that emerging SWIR-fluorescent in vivo contrast agents should be benchmarked against the SWIR emission of ICG in blood.

The detection of human malignancies by near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence will require the conjugation of cancer-specific ligands to NIR fluorophores that have optimal photoproperties and pharmacokinetics. IRDye78, a tetra-sulfonated heptamethine indocyanine NIR fluorophore, meets most of the criteria for an in vivo imaging agent, and is available as an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester for conjugation to low-molecular-weight ligands. However, IRDye78 has a high charge-to-mass ratio, complicating purification of conjugates. It also has a potentially labile linkage between fluorophore and ligand. We have developed an ion-pairing purification strategy for IRDye78 that can be performed with a standard C18 column under neutral conditions, thus preserving the stability of fluorophore, ligand, and conjugate. By employing parallel evaporative light scatter and absorbance detectors, all reactants and products are identified, and conjugate purity is maximized. We describe reversible and irreversible conversions of IRDye78 that can occur during sample purification, and describe methods for preserving conjugate stability. Using seven ligands, spanning several classes of small molecules and peptides (neutral, charged, and/or hydrophobic), we illustrate the robustness of these methods, and confirm that IRDye78 conjugates so purified retain bioactivity and permit NIR fluorescence imaging of specific targets.
