    Abstract: Ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction may enhance the release of nanoparticles from vasculature to tumor tissues. In this study, we used four different sizes of lipid-coated CdSe quantum dot (LQD) nanoparticles ranging from 30 to 180 nm, 1.0-MHz pulsed focused ultrasound (FUS) with a peak acoustic pressure of 1.2-MPa, and an ultrasound contrast agent (UCA; SonoVueR) at a dose of 30 μL/kg to investigate any enhancement of targeted delivery. Tumor-bearing male Balb/c mice were first injected with UCA intravenously, were then sonicated at the tumors with FUS, and were finally injected with 50 μL of the LQD solution after the sonication. The mice were sacrificed about 24 h after the sonication, and then we quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated the deposition of LQDs in the tumors by using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS), photoluminescence spectrometry (PL), and harmonic generation microscopy (HGM). Further, immunoblotting analysis served to identify the biochemical markers reflecting the vascular rupture. The experimental results show that the amount of LQDs deposited in tumor tissues was greater in cases of FUS/UCA application, especially for smaller LQDs, being 4.47, 2.27, 0.99, and 0.82 (μg Cd)/(g tumor) for 30, 80, 130, and 180 nm of LQDs, respectively; compared to 1.12, 0.75, 0.26, and 0.34 (μg Cd)/(g tumor) in absence of FUS/UCA. The immunoblotting analysis further indicates that FUS-induced UCA oscillation/destruction results in rupture areas in blood vessels increasing the vascular permeability and thus justifying for the higher quantity of nanoparticles deposited in tumors.
