The invention discloses a
ferritin nanoprobe for targeting gastric
cancer lymphatic metastasis as well as a preparation method and application of the
ferritin nanoprobe. According to the present invention, the fusion expression technology and the polycistron expression
system are adopted to simultaneously display the two targeting
peptide fragments on the cage-shaped surface of the
ferritin without affecting the prokaryotic
intracellular self-
assembly characteristic, such that the method is simple and easy to perform, and the material innovation of the ferritin as the
tumor targeting nano-probe is enriched. The three-target ferritin nano-probe constructed by the invention successfully fuses three targets of TfR1, CXCR4 and VEGFR3, endows ferritin with higher and wider affinity in combination with various gastric
cancer tumor cells, and remarkably improves the targeting ability of the ferritin nano-probe for various gastric
cancer tumor cells or tissues with different
surface expression conditions; the difficulty of strong heterogeneity between cells / tissues in gastric cancer
lymphatic metastasis diagnosis and treatment is effectively overcome.
