Precise diagnostics are of significant importance to the optimal treatment outcomes of patients bearing brain tumors. NIR‐II fluorescence imaging holds great promise for brain‐tumor diagnostics with deep penetration and high sensitivity. This requires the development of organic NIR‐II fluorescent agents with high quantum yield (QY), which is difficult to achieve. Herein, the design and synthesis of a new NIR‐II fluorescent molecule with aggregation‐induced‐emission (AIE) characteristics is reported for orthotopic brain‐tumor imaging. Encapsulation of the molecule in a polymer matrix yields AIE dots showing a very high QY of 6.2% with a large absorptivity of 10.2 L g?1 cm?1 at 740 nm and an emission maximum near 1000 nm. Further decoration of the AIE dots with c‐RGD yields targeted AIE dots, which afford specific and selective tumor uptake, with a high signal/background ratio of 4.4 and resolution up to 38 µm. The large NIR absorptivity of the AIE dots facilitates NIR‐I photoacoustic imaging with intrinsically deeper penetration than NIR‐II fluorescence imaging and, more importantly, precise tumor‐depth detection through intact scalp and skull. This research demonstrates the promise of NIR‐II AIE molecules and their dots in dual NIR‐II fluorescence and NIR‐I photoacoustic imaging for precise brain cancer diagnostics. 相似文献

Bimodal imaging with fluorescence in the second near infrared window (NIR‐II) and positron emission tomography (PET) has important significance for tumor diagnosis and management because of complementary advantages. It remains challenging to develop NIR‐II/PET bimodal probes with high fluorescent brightness. Herein, bioinspired nanomaterials (melanin dot, mesoporous silica nanoparticle, and supported lipid bilayer), NIR‐II dye CH‐4T, and PET radionuclide 64Cu are integrated into a hybrid NIR‐II/PET bimodal nanoprobe. The resultant nanoprobe exhibits attractive properties such as highly uniform tunable size, effective payload encapsulation, high stability, dispersibility, and biocompatibility. Interestingly, the incorporation of CH‐4T into the nanoparticle leads to 4.27‐fold fluorescence enhancement, resulting in brighter NIR‐II imaging for phantoms in vitro and in situ. Benefiting from the fluorescence enhancement, NIR‐II imaging with the nanoprobe is carried out to precisely delineate and resect tumors. Additionally, the nanoprobe is successfully applied in tumor PET imaging, showing the accumulation of the nanoprobe in a tumor with a clear contrast from 2 to 24 h postinjection. Overall, this hierarchically nanostructured platform is able to dramatically enhance fluorescent brightness of NIR‐II dye, detect tumors with NIR‐II/PET imaging, and guide intraoperative resection. The NIR‐II/PET bimodal nanoprobe has high potential for sensitive preoperative tumor diagnosis and precise intraoperative image‐guided surgery. 相似文献

Fluorescence bioimaging affords a vital tool for both researchers and surgeons to molecularly target a variety of biological tissues and processes. This review focuses on summarizing organic dyes emitting at a biological transparency window termed the near‐infrared‐II (NIR‐II) window, where minimal light interaction with the surrounding tissues allows photons to travel nearly unperturbed throughout the body. NIR‐II fluorescence imaging overcomes the penetration/contrast bottleneck of imaging in the visible region, making it a remarkable modality for early diagnosis of cancer and highly sensitive tumor surgery. Due to their convenient bioconjugation with peptides/antibodies, NIR‐II molecular dyes are desirable candidates for targeted cancer imaging, significantly overcoming the autofluorescence/scattering issues for deep tissue molecular imaging. To promote the clinical translation of NIR‐II bioimaging, advancements in the high‐performance small molecule–derived probes are critically important. Here, molecules with clinical potential for NIR‐II imaging are discussed, summarizing the synthesis and chemical structures of NIR‐II dyes, chemical and optical properties of NIR‐II dyes, bioconjugation and biological behavior of NIR‐II dyes, whole body imaging with NIR‐II dyes for cancer detection and surgery, as well as NIR‐II fluorescence microscopy imaging. A key perspective on the direction of NIR‐II molecular dyes for cancer imaging and surgery is also discussed. 相似文献

Intravital fluorescence imaging of vasculature morphology and dynamics in the brain and in tumors with large penetration depth and high signal‐to‐background ratio (SBR) is highly desirable for the study and theranostics of vascular‐related diseases and cancers. Herein, a highly bright fluorophore (BTPETQ) with long‐wavelength absorption and aggregation‐induced near‐infrared (NIR) emission (maximum at ≈700 nm) is designed for intravital two‐photon fluorescence (2PF) imaging of a mouse brain and tumor vasculatures under NIR‐II light (1200 nm) excitation. BTPETQ dots fabricated via nanoprecipitation show uniform size of around 42 nm and a high quantum yield of 19 ± 1% in aqueous media. The 2PF imaging of the mouse brain vasculatures labeled by BTPETQ dots reveals a 3D blood vessel network with an ultradeep depth of 924 µm. In addition, BTPETQ dots show enhanced 2PF in tumor vasculatures due to their unique leaky structures, which facilitates the differentiation of normal blood vessels from tumor vessels with high SBR in deep tumor tissues. Moreover, the extravasation and accumulation of BTPETQ dots in deep tumor (more than 900 µm) is visualized under NIR‐II excitation. This study highlights the importance of developing NIR‐II light excitable efficient NIR fluorophores for in vivo deep tissue and high contrast tumor imaging. 相似文献

3D NIR‐II Molecular Imaging Distinguishes Targeted Organs with High‐Performance NIR‐II Bioconjugates 下载免费PDF全文
Shoujun Zhu Sonia Herraiz Jingying Yue Mingxi Zhang Hao Wan Qinglai Yang Zhuoran Ma Yan Wang Jiahuan He Alexander L. Antaris Yeteng Zhong Shuo Diao Yi Feng Ying Zhou Kuai Yu Guosong Hong Yongye Liang Aaron J. Hsueh Hongjie Dai 《Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)》2018,30(13)
Greatly reduced scattering in the second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) region (1000–1700 nm) opens up many new exciting avenues of bioimaging research, yet NIR‐II fluorescence imaging is mostly implemented by using nontargeted fluorophores or wide‐field imaging setups, limiting the signal‐to‐background ratio and imaging penetration depth due to poor specific binding and out‐of‐focus signals. A newly developed high‐performance NIR‐II bioconjugate enables targeted imaging of a specific organ in the living body with high quality. Combined with a home‐built NIR‐II confocal set‐up, the enhanced imaging technique allows 900 µm‐deep 3D organ imaging without tissue clearing techniques. Bioconjugation of two hormones to nonoverlapping NIR‐II fluorophores facilitates two‐color imaging of different receptors, demonstrating unprecedented multicolor live molecular imaging across the NIR‐II window. This deep tissue imaging of specific receptors in live animals allows development of noninvasive molecular imaging of multifarious models of normal and neoplastic organs in vivo, beyond the traditional visible to NIR‐I range. The developed NIR‐II fluorescence microscopy will become a powerful imaging technique for deep tissue imaging without any physical sectioning or clearing treatment of the tissue. 相似文献

Design and synthesis of new fluorophores with emission in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II, 1000–1700 nm) have fueled the advancement of in vivo fluorescence imaging. Organic NIR‐II probes particularly attract tremendous attention due to excellent stability and biocompatibility, which facilitate clinical translation. However, reported organic NIR‐II fluorescent agents often suffer from low quantum yield and complicated design. In this study, the acceptor unit of a known NIR‐I aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) luminogen (AIEgen) is molecularly engineered by varying a single atom from sulfur to selenium, leading to redshifted absorption and emission spectra. After formulation of the newly prepared AIEgen, the resultant AIE nanoparticles (referred as L897 NPs) have an emission tail extending to 1200 nm with a high quantum yield of 5.8%. Based on the L897 NPs, noninvasive vessel imaging and lymphatic imaging are achieved with high signal‐to‐background ratio and deep penetration. Furthermore, the L897 NPs can be used as good contrast agents for tumor imaging and image‐guided surgery due to the high tumor/normal tissue ratio, which peaks at 9.0 ± 0.6. This work suggests a simple strategy for designing and manufacturing NIR‐II AIEgens and demonstrates the potential of NIR‐II AIEgens in vessel, lymphatic, and tumor imaging. 相似文献

Preoperative Detection and Intraoperative Visualization of Brain Tumors for More Precise Surgery: A New Dual‐Modality MRI and NIR Nanoprobe 下载免费PDF全文

In clinical practice, it is difficult to identify tumor margins during brain surgery due to its inherent infiltrative character. Herein, a unique dual‐modality nanoprobe (Gd‐DOTA‐Ag2S QDs, referred as Gd‐Ag2S nanoprobe) is reported, which integrates advantages of the deep tissue penetration of enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of Gd and the high signal‐to‐noise ratio and high spatiotemporal resolution of fluorescence imaging in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II) of Ag2S quantum dots (QDs). Due to the abundant tumor angiogenesis and the enhanced permeability and retention effect in the tumor, a brain tumor (U87MG) in a mouse model is clearly delineated in situ with the help of the Gd assisted T1 MR imaging and the intraoperative resection of the tumor is precisely accomplished under the guidance of NIR‐II fluorescence imaging of Ag2S QDs after intravenous injection of Gd‐Ag2S nanoprobe. Additionally, no histologic changes are observed in the main organs of the mouse after administration of Gd‐Ag2S nanoprobe for 1 month, indicating the high biocompatibility of the nanoprobe. We expect that such a novel “Detection and Operation” strategy based on Gd‐Ag2S nanoprobe is promising in future clinical applications. 相似文献

Through Scalp and Skull NIR‐II Photothermal Therapy of Deep Orthotopic Brain Tumors with Precise Photoacoustic Imaging Guidance 下载免费PDF全文

Brain tumor is one of the most lethal cancers owing to the existence of blood–brain barrier and blood–brain tumor barrier as well as the lack of highly effective brain tumor treatment paradigms. Herein, cyclo(Arg‐Gly‐Asp‐D‐Phe‐Lys(mpa)) decorated biocompatible and photostable conjugated polymer nanoparticles with strong absorption in the second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) window are developed for precise photoacoustic imaging and spatiotemporal photothermal therapy of brain tumor through scalp and skull. Evidenced by the higher efficiency to penetrate scalp and skull for 1064 nm laser as compared to common 808 nm laser, NIR‐II brain‐tumor photothermal therapy is highly effective. In addition, via a real‐time photoacoustic imaging system, the nanoparticles assist clear pinpointing of glioma at a depth of almost 3 mm through scalp and skull with an ultrahigh signal‐to‐background ratio of 90. After spatiotemporal photothermal treatment, the tumor progression is effectively inhibited and the survival spans of mice are significantly extended. This study demonstrates that NIR‐II conjugated polymer nanoparticles are promising for precise imaging and treatment of brain tumors. 相似文献

Carbon dots (CDs) have significant potential for use in various fields including biomedicine, bioimaging, and optoelectronics. However, inefficient excitation and emission of CDs in both near‐infrared (NIR‐I and NIR‐II) windows remains an issue. Solving this problem would yield significant improvement in the tissue‐penetration depth for in vivo bioimaging with CDs. Here, an NIR absorption band and enhanced NIR fluorescence are both realized through the surface engineering of CDs, exploiting electron‐acceptor groups, namely molecules or polymers rich in sulfoxide/carbonyl groups. These groups, which are bound to the outer layers and the edges of the CDs, influence the optical bandgap and promote electron transitions under NIR excitation. NIR‐imaging information encryption and in vivo NIR fluorescence imaging of the stomach of a living mouse using CDs modified with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) in aqueous solution are demonstrated. In addition, excitation by a 1400 nm femtosecond laser yields simultaneous two‐photon‐induced NIR emission and three‐photon‐induced red emission of CDs in dimethyl sulfoxide. This study represents the realization of both NIR‐I excitation and emission as well as two‐photon‐ and three‐photon‐induced fluorescence of CDs excited in an NIR‐II window, and provides a rational design approach for construction and clinical applications of CD‐based NIR imaging agents. 相似文献

Discovering materials that exhibit zero linear compressibility (ZLC) behavior under hydrostatic pressure is extremely difficult. To date, only a handful of ZLC materials have been found, and almost all of them are ultrahard materials with densified structures. Here, to explore ZLC in nondense materials, a structural model analogous to the structure of the “Lu‐Ban stool,” a product of traditional Chinese woodworking invented 2500 years ago, is proposed. The application of this model to borates leads to the discovery of ZLC in AEB2O4 (AE = Ca and Sr) with the unique “Lu‐Ban stool”‐like structure, which can obtain a subtle mechanical balance between pressure‐induced expansion and contraction effects. Coupled with the very wide ultraviolet transparent windows, the ZLC behavior of AEB2O4 may result in some unique but important applications. The applications of the “Lu‐Ban stool” model open a new route for pursuing ZLC materials in nondense structural systems. 相似文献

Semiconducting Polymer Nanoparticles for Centimeters‐Deep Photoacoustic Imaging in the Second Near‐Infrared Window 下载免费PDF全文

Thienoisoindigo‐based semiconducting polymer with a strong near‐infrared absorbance is synthesized and its water‐dispersed nanoparticles (TSPNs) are investigated as a contrast agent for photoacoustic (PA) imaging in the second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) window (1000–1350 nm). The TSPNs generate a strong PA signal in the NIR‐II optical window, where background signals from endogenous contrast agents, including blood and lipid, are at the local minima. By embedding a TSPN‐containing tube in chicken‐breast tissue, an imaging depth of more than 5 cm at 1064 nm excitation is achieved with a contrast‐agent concentration as low as 40 µg mL?1. The TSPNs under the skin or in the tumor are clearly visualized at 1100 and 1300 nm, with negligible interference from the tissue background. TSPN as a PA contrast in the NIR‐II window opens new opportunities for biomedical imaging of deep tissues with improved contrast. 相似文献

Exogenous contrast‐agent‐assisted NIR‐II optical‐resolution photoacoustic microscopy imaging (ORPAMI) holds promise to decipher wide‐field 3D biological structures with deep penetration, large signal‐to‐background ratio (SBR), and high maximum imaging depth to depth resolution ratio. Herein, NIR‐II conjugated polymer nanoparticle (CP NP) assisted ORPAMI is reported for pinpointing cerebral and tumor vasculatures. The CP NPs exhibit a large extinction coefficient of 48.1 L g?1 at the absorption maximum of 1161 nm, with an ultrahigh PA sensitivity up to 2 µg mL?1. 3D ORPAMI of wide‐field mice ear allows clear visualization of regular vasculatures with a resolution of 19.2 µm and an SBR of 29.3 dB at the maximal imaging depth of 539 µm. The margin of ear tumor composed of torsional dense vessels among surrounding normal regular vessels can be clearly delineated via 3D angiography. In addition, 3D whole‐cortex cerebral vasculatures with large imaging area (48 mm2), good resolution (25.4 µm), and high SBR (22.3 dB) at a depth up to 1001 µm are clearly resolved through the intact skull. These results are superior to the recently reported 3D NIR‐II fluorescence confocal vascular imaging, which opens up new opportunities for NIR‐II CP‐NP‐assisted ORPAMI in various biomedical applications. 相似文献

“One‐for‐All” Strategy in Fast Energy Storage: Production of Pillared MOF Nanorod‐Templated Positive/Negative Electrodes for the Application of High‐Performance Hybrid Supercapacitor 下载免费PDF全文
Chong Qu Zibin Liang Yang Jiao Bote Zhao Bingjun Zhu Dai Dang Shuge Dai Yu Chen Ruqiang Zou Meilin Liu 《Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)》2018,14(23)
Currently, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are intensively studied as active materials for electrochemical energy storage applications due to their tunable structure and exceptional porosities. Among them, water stable pillared MOFs with dual ligands have been reported to exhibit high supercapacitor (SC) performance. Herein, the “One‐for‐All” strategy is applied to synthesize both positive and negative electrodes of a hybrid SC (HSC) from a single pillared MOF. Specifically, Ni‐DMOF‐TM ([Ni(TMBDC)(DABCO)0.5], TMBDC: 2,3,5,6‐tetramethyl‐1,4‐benzenedicarboxylic acid, DABCO: 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]‐octane) nanorods are directly grown on carbon fiber paper (CFP) (denoted as CFP@TM‐nanorods) with the help of triethylamine and function as the positive electrode of HSC under alkaline electrolyte. Meanwhile, calcinated N‐doped hierarchical porous carbon nanorods (CFP@TM‐NPCs) are produced and utilized as the negative counter‐electrode from a one‐step heat treatment of CFP@TM‐nanorods. After assembling these two electrodes together to make a hybrid device, the TM‐nanorods//TM‐NPCs exhibit a wide voltage window of 1.5 V with a high sloping discharge plateau between 1‐1.2 V, indicating its great potential for practical applications. This as‐described “One‐for‐All” strategy is widely applicable and highly reproducible in producing MOF‐based electrode materials for HSC applications, which shortens the gap between experimental synthesis and practical application of MOFs in fast energy storage. 相似文献

Molecular Cancer Imaging in the Second Near‐Infrared Window Using a Renal‐Excreted NIR‐II Fluorophore‐Peptide Probe 下载免费PDF全文
Weizhi Wang Zhuoran Ma Shoujun Zhu Hao Wan Jingying Yue Huilong Ma Rui Ma Qinglai Yang Zihua Wang Qian Li Yixia Qian Chunyan Yue Yuehua Wang Linyang Fan Yeteng Zhong Ying Zhou Hongpeng Gao Junshan Ruan Zhiyuan Hu Yongye Liang Hongjie Dai 《Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)》2018,30(22)
In vivo molecular imaging of tumors targeting a specific cancer cell marker is a promising strategy for cancer diagnosis and imaging guided surgery and therapy. While targeted imaging often relies on antibody‐modified probes, peptides can afford targeting probes with small sizes, high penetrating ability, and rapid excretion. Recently, in vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II, 1000–1700 nm) shows promise in reaching sub‐centimeter depth with microscale resolution. Here, a novel peptide (named CP) conjugated NIR‐II fluorescent probe is reported for molecular tumor imaging targeting a tumor stem cell biomarker CD133. The click chemistry derived peptide‐dye (CP‐IRT dye) probe afforded efficient in vivo tumor targeting in mice with a high tumor‐to‐normal tissue signal ratio (T/NT > 8). Importantly, the CP‐IRT probes are rapidly renal excreted (≈87% excretion within 6 h), in stark contrast to accumulation in the liver for typical antibody‐dye probes. Further, with NIR‐II emitting CP‐IRT probes, urethra of mice can be imaged fluorescently for the first time noninvasively through intact tissue. The NIR‐II fluorescent, CD133 targeting imaging probes are potentially useful for human use in the clinic for cancer diagnosis and therapy. 相似文献

Double‐Targeting Explosible Nanofirework for Tumor Ignition to Guide Tumor‐Depth Photothermal Therapy 下载免费PDF全文
Ming‐Kang Zhang Xiao‐Gang Wang Jing‐Yi Zhu Miao‐Deng Liu Chu‐Xin Li Jun Feng Xian‐Zheng Zhang 《Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)》2018,14(20)
This study reports a double‐targeting “nanofirework” for tumor‐ignited imaging to guide effective tumor‐depth photothermal therapy (PTT). Typically, ≈30 nm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) are enveloped with a hybrid corona composed of ≈4 nm CuS tethered hyaluronic acid (CuS‐HA). The HA corona provides active tumor‐targeted functionality together with excellent stability and improved biocompatibility. The dimension of UCNP@CuS‐HA is specifically set within the optimal size window for passive tumor‐targeting effect, demonstrating significant contributions to both the in vivo prolonged circulation duration and the enhanced size‐dependent tumor accumulation compared with ultrasmall CuS nanoparticles. The tumors featuring hyaluronidase (HAase) overexpression could induce the escape of CuS away from UCNP@CuS‐HA due to HAase‐catalyzed HA degradation, in turn activating the recovery of initially CuS‐quenched luminescence of UCNP and also driving the tumor‐depth infiltration of ultrasmall CuS for effective PTT. This in vivo transition has proven to be highly dependent on tumor occurrence like a tumor‐ignited explosible firework. Together with the double‐targeting functionality, the pathology‐selective tumor ignition permits precise tumor detection and imaging‐guided spatiotemporal control over PTT operation, leading to complete tumor ablation under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. This study offers a new paradigm of utilizing pathological characteristics to design nanotheranostics for precise detection and personalized therapy of tumors. 相似文献

Color‐Convertible,Unimolecular, Micelle‐Based,Activatable Fluorescent Probe for Tumor‐Specific Detection and Imaging In Vitro and In Vivo 下载免费PDF全文
Yu Huang Feng Qiu Dong Chen Lingyue Shen Shuting Xu Dongbo Guo Yue Su Deyue Yan Xinyuan Zhu 《Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)》2017,13(20)
Recent years have witnessed significant progress in molecular probes for cancer diagnosis. However, the conventional molecular probes are designed to be “always‐on” by attachment of tumor‐targeting ligands, which limits their abilities to diagnose tumors universally due to the variations of targeting efficiency and complex environment in different cancers. Here, it is proposed that a color‐convertible, activatable probe is responding to a universal tumor microenvironment for tumor‐specific diagnosis without targeting ligands. Based on the significant hallmark of up‐regulated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in various tumors, a novel unimolecular micelle constructed by boronate coupling of a hydrophobic hyperbranched poly(fluorene‐co‐2,1,3‐benzothiadiazole) core and many hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) arms is built as an H2O2‐activatable fluorescent nanoprobe to delineate tumors from normal tissues through an aggregation‐enhanced fluorescence resonance energy transfer strategy. This color‐convertible, activatable nanoprobe is obviously blue‐fluorescent in various normal cells, but becomes highly green‐emissive in various cancer cells. After intravenous injection to tumor‐bearing mice, green fluorescent signals are only detected in tumor tissue. These observations are further confirmed by direct in vivo and ex vivo tumor imaging and immunofluorescence analysis. Such a facile and simple methodology without targeting ligands for tumor‐specific detection and imaging is worthwhile to further development. 相似文献

Diagnostics of cerebrovascular structures and microscopic tumors with intact blood–brain barrier (BBB) significantly contributes to timely treatment of patients bearing neurological diseases. Dual NIR‐II fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is expected to offer powerful strength, including good spatiotemporal resolution, deep penetration, and large signal‐to‐background ratio (SBR) for precise brain diagnostics. Herein, biocompatible and photostable conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CP NPs) are reported for dual‐modality brain imaging in the NIR‐II window. Uniform CP NPs with a size of 50 nm are fabricated from microfluidics devices, which show an emission peak at 1156 nm with a large absorptivity of 35.2 L g?1 cm?1 at 1000 nm. The NIR‐II fluorescence imaging resolves hemodynamics and cerebral vasculatures with a spatial resolution of 23 µm at a depth of 600 µm. The NIR‐II PAI enables successful noninvasive mapping of deep microscopic brain tumors (<2 mm at a depth of 2.4 mm beneath dense skull and scalp) with an SBR of 7.2 after focused ultrasound‐induced BBB opening. This study demonstrates that CP NPs are promising contrast agents for brain diagnostics. 相似文献

Multi‐modality imaging‐guided cancer therapy is considered as a powerful theranostic platform enabling simultaneous precise diagnosis and treatment of cancer. However, recently reported multifunctional systems with multiple components and sophisticate structures remain major obstacles for further clinical translation. In this work, a single‐photomolecular theranostic nanoplatform is fabricated via a facile nanoprecipitation strategy. By encapsulating a semiconductor oligomer (IT‐S) into an amphiphilic lipid, water‐dispersible IT‐S nanoparticles (IT‐S NPs) are prepared. The obtained IT‐S NPs have a very simple construction and possess ultra‐stable near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL)/photoacoustic (PA) dual‐modal imaging and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 72.3%. Accurate spatiotemporal distribution profiles of IT‐S NPs are successfully visualized by NIR FL/PA dual‐modal imaging. With the comprehensive in vivo imaging information provided by IT‐S NPs, tumor photothermal ablation is readily realized under precise manipulation of laser irradiation, which greatly improves the therapeutic efficacy without any obvious side effects. Therefore, the IT‐S NPs allow high tumor therapeutic efficacy under the precise guidance of FL/PA imaging techniques and thus hold great potential as an effective theranostic platform for future clinical applications. 相似文献

Near‐infrared II (NIR‐II) imaging at 1100–1700 nm shows great promise for medical diagnosis related to blood vessels because it possesses deep penetration and high resolution in biological tissue. Unfortunately, currently available NIR‐II fluorophores exhibit slow excretion and low brightness, which prevents their potential medical applications. An atomic‐precision gold (Au) cluster with 25 gold atoms and 18 peptide ligands is presented. The Au25 clusters show emission at 1100–1350 nm and the fluorescence quantum yield is significantly increased by metal‐atom doping. Bright gold clusters can penetrate deep tissue and can be applied in in vivo brain vessel imaging and tumor metastasis. Time‐resolved brain blood‐flow imaging shows significant differences between healthy and injured mice with different brain diseases in vivo. High‐resolution imaging of cancer metastasis allows for the identification of the primary tumor, blood vessel, and lymphatic metastasis. In addition, gold clusters with NIR‐II fluorescence are used to monitor high‐resolution imaging of kidney at a depth of 0.61 cm, and the quantitative measurement shows 86% of the gold clusters are cleared from body without any acute or long‐term toxicity at a dose of 100 mg kg?1. 相似文献

Chemoimmunotherapy by systemic administration of individual regimens suffers from inconsistent pharmacokinetics profiles, low tumor specificity, and severe side effects. Despite promising nanoparticle‐based codelivery approaches in therapeutics, the pathophysiological barriers of solid tumors are a hurdle for tumor accumulation and deep penetration of the drug‐loaded nanoparticles. A light‐inducible nanocargo (LINC) for immunotherapy is reported. LINC is composed of a reduction‐responsive heterodimer of photosensitizer pheophorbide A (PPa) and indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 1 (IDO‐1) inhibitor, i.e., NLG919, and a light‐activatable prodrug of oxaliplatin (OXA). LINC administrated through intravenous injection is passively accumulated at the tumor site to generate near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence signal. Under fluorescence imaging guidance, the first‐wave of NIR laser irradiation induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, trigger cleavage of the polyethylene glycol (PEG) corona, and thus promote tumor retention and deep penetration of LINC. When exposed to the second‐wave NIR laser illumination, LINC efficiently elicits the immune response and promotes intratumoral infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Furthermore, NLG919 delivered by LINC reverses the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by suppressing IDO‐1 activity. Chemoimmunotherapy with LINC inhibit the tumor growth, lung metastasis, and tumor recurrence. The light‐inducible self‐amplification strategy for improved drug delivery and immunotherapy shows potential. 相似文献
