dc.description.abstractIn vivo experiments on mice were performed to evaluate whether whole body hyperthermia enhances nanoparticle delivery to PC3 tumors. The mice in the experimental group were subjected to whole body hyperthermia by maintaining their body temperatures at 40ºC for one hour. Interstitial fluid pressures (IFPs) in tumors were measured before heating, immediately after, and at 2 and 24 hours post-heating in both the experimental group and in a sham group (without heating). 0.2 cc of a newly developed nanofluid containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was delivered via the tail vein in both groups. MicroCT scanned images of resected tumors were analyzed to visualize nanoparticle distribution in the tumors and to quantify the total amount of the nanoparticles delivered to the tumors. Statistically significant IFP reductions of 45% right after heating, 47% 2 hours post heating, and 52% 24 hours post heating were observed in the experimental group. Analyses of microCT scans of the resected tumors illustrated that nanoparticles were more concentrated near the tumor periphery rather than at the tumor center. The 1-hour whole body hyperthermia treatment resulted in more nanoparticles present in the tumor central region than that in the control group. The mass index calculated from the microCT scans suggested overall 42% more nanoparticle delivery in the experimental group than that in the control group. We conclude that 1-hour mild whole body hyperthermia leads to sustained reduction in tumoral IFPs and significantly increases the total amount of targeted gold nanoparticle deposition in PC3 tumors.en_US
