The significantly reduced tissue autofluorescence and scattering in the NIR‐II region (1000–1700 nm) opens many exciting avenues for detailed investigation of biological processes in vivo. However, the existing NIR‐II fluorescent agents, including many molecular dyes and inorganic nanomaterials, are primarily focused on complicated synthesis routes and unknown immunogenic responses with limited potential for clinical translation. Herein, the >1000 nm tail emission of conventional biocompatible NIR cyanine dyes with emission peaks at 700–900 nm is systematically investigated, and a type of bright dye for NIR‐II imaging with high potential for accelerating clinical translation is identified. The asymmetry of the π domain in the S1 state of NIR cyanine dyes is proven to result in a twisted intramolecular charge‐transfer process and NIR‐II emission, establishing a general rule to guide future NIR‐I/II fluorophore synthesis. The screened NIR dyes are identified to possess a bright emission tail in the NIR‐II region along with high quantum yield, high molar‐extinction coefficient, rapid fecal excretion, and functional groups amenable for bioconjugation. As a result, NIR cyanine dyes can be used for NIR‐II imaging to afford superior contrast and real‐time imaging of several biological models, facilitating the translation of NIR‐II bioimaging to clinical theranostic applications. 相似文献

Distinguishing a tumor from non-neoplastic tissue is a challenging task during cancer surgery. Several attempts have been
made to use visible or fluorescent agents to aid in the visualization of a tumor during surgery. We describe a novel method
to delineate brain tumors, using a highly sensitive photoacoustic imaging technique that is enhanced by tumor-targeting blue
nanoparticles serving as a contrast agent. Experiments on phantoms and on rat brains, ex vivo, demonstrate the high sensitivity of photoacoustic imaging in delineating tumors containing contrast agent at a concentration
much lower than needed for visualization by the naked eye. The limit of detection of the system for the nanoparticles is about
0.77 μg/mL in water (equivalent to 0.84 μmol/L Coomassie Blue dye). The present exploratory study suggests that photoacoustic
imaging, when used with strongly optical absorbing contrast agents, could facilitate cancer surgery intraoperatively by revealing
the distribution and extent of the tumor.

Fluorescent proteins are investigated extensively as markers for the imaging of cells and tissues that are treated by gene transfection. However, limited transfection efficiency and lack of targeting restrict the clinical application of this method rooted in the challenging development of robust fluorescent proteins for in vivo bioimaging. To address this, a new type of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent protein assemblies manufactured by genetic engineering is presented. Due to the formation of well-defined nanoparticles and spectral operation within the phototherapeutic window, the NIR protein aggregates allow stable and specific tumor imaging via simple exogenous injection. Importantly, in vivo tumor metastases are tracked and this overcomes the limitations of in vivo imaging that can only be implemented relying on the gene transfection of fluorescent proteins. Concomitantly, the efficient loading of hydrophobic drugs into the protein nanoparticles is demonstrated facilitating the therapy of tumors in a mouse model. It is believed that these theranostic NIR fluorescent protein assemblies, hence, show great potential for the in vivo detection and therapy of cancer. 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

As one of the reduction species, glutathione (GSH) plays a tremendous role in regulating the homeostasis of redox state in living body. Accurate imaging of GSH in vivo is highly desired to provide a real‐time visualization of physiological and pathological conditions while it is still a big challenge. Recently developed photoacoustic imaging (PAI) with high resolution and deep penetration characteristics is more promising for in vivo GSH detection. However, its application is dramatically limited by the difficult designation of photoacoustic probes with changeable near‐infrared (NIR)‐absorption under reductive activation. A cyanine derivative‐based activatable probe is developed for in vivo ratiometric PAI of GSH for the first time. The probe is structurally designed to output ratiometric signals toward GSH in NIR‐absorption region based on the cleavage of disulfide bond followed by a subsequent exchange between the secondary amine and sulfydryl group formed. Such a ratiometric manner provides high signal‐to‐noise imaging of blood vessels and their surrounding areas in tumor. Concomitantly, it also exhibits good specificity toward GSH over other thiols. Furthermore, the single composition architecture of the probe effectively overcomes the leakage issue compared with traditional multicomposition architecture‐based nanoprobe, thus enhancing the imaging accuracy and fidelity in living body. 相似文献

Hybrid PET/MRI scanners have the potential to provide fundamental molecular, cellular, and anatomic information essential for optimizing therapeutic and surgical interventions. However, their full utilization is currently limited by the lack of truly multi‐modal contrast agents capable of exploiting the strengths of each modality. Here, we report on the development of long‐circulating positron‐emitting magnetic nanoconstructs (PEM) designed to image solid tumors for combined PET/MRI. PEMs are synthesized by a modified nano‐precipitation method mixing poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA), lipids, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains with 5 nm iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIOs). PEM lipids are coupled with 1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7,10‐tetraacetic acid (DOTA) and subsequently chelated to 64Cu. PEMs show a diameter of 140 ± 7 nm and a transversal relaxivity r2 of 265.0 ± 10.0 (mM × s)?1, with a r2/r1 ratio of 123. Using a murine xenograft model bearing human breast cancer cell line (MDA‐MB‐231), intravenously administered PEMs progressively accumulate in tumors reaching a maximum of 3.5 ± 0.25% ID/g tumor at 20 h post‐injection. Correlation of PET and MRI signals revealed non‐uniform intratumoral distribution of PEMs with focal areas of accumulation at the tumor periphery. These long‐circulating PEMs with high transversal relaxivity and tumor accumulation may allow for detailed interrogation over multiple scales in a clinically relevant setting. 相似文献

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

Responsive multifunctional organic/inorganic nanohybrids are promising for effective and precise imaging‐guided therapy of cancer. In this work, a near‐infrared (NIR)‐triggered multifunctional nanoplatform comprising Au nanorods (Au NRs), mesoporous silica, quantum dots (QDs), and two‐armed ethanolamine‐modified poly(glycidyl methacrylate) with cyclodextrin cores (denoted as CD‐PGEA) has been successfully fabricated for multimodal imaging‐guided triple‐combination treatment of cancer. A hierarchical hetero‐structure is first constructed via integration of Au NRs with QDs through a mesoporous silica intermediate layer. The X‐ray opacity and photoacoustic (PA) property of Au NRs are utilized for tomography (CT) and PA imaging, and the imaging sensitivity is further enhanced by the fluorescent QDs. The mesoporous feature of silica allows the loading of a typical antitumor drug, doxorubicin (DOX), which are sealed by the polycationic gatekeepers, low toxic hydroxyl‐rich CD‐PGEA/pDNA complexes, realizing the co‐delivery of drug and gene. The photothermal effect of Au NRs is utilized for photothermal therapy (PTT). More interestingly, such photothermal effect also induces a cascade of NIR‐triggered release of DOX through the facilitated detachment of CD‐PGEA gatekeepers for controlled chemotherapy. The resultant chemotherapy and gene therapy for glioma tumors are complementary for the efficiency of PTT. This work presents a novel responsive multifunctional imaging‐guided therapy platform, which combines fluorescent/PA/CT imaging and gene/chemo/photothermal therapy into one nanostructure. 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

A tumor microenvironment responsive nanoprobe is developed for enhanced tumor imaging through in situ crosslinking of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified with a responsive peptide sequence in which a tumor‐specific Arg‐Gly‐Asp peptide for tumor targeting and a self‐peptide as a “mark of self” are linked through a disulfide bond. Positioning the self‐peptide at the outmost layer is aimed at delaying the clearance of the nanoparticles from the bloodstream. After the self‐peptide is cleaved by glutathione within tumor microenvironment, the exposed thiol groups react with the remaining maleimide moieties from adjacent particles to crosslink the particles in situ. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that the aggregation substantially improves the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast enhancement performance of Fe3O4 particles. By labeling the responsive particle probe with 99mTc, single‐photon emission computed tomography is enabled not only for verifying the enhanced imaging capacity of the crosslinked Fe3O4 particles, but also for achieving sensitive dual modality imaging of tumors in vivo. The novelty of the current probe lies in the combination of tumor microenvironment‐triggered aggregation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles for boosting the T2 MRI effect, with antiphagocytosis surface coating, active targeting, and dual‐modality imaging, which is never reported before. 相似文献

Self‐assembly of gold nanoparticles demonstrates a promising approach to realize enhanced photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT) for accurate diagnosis and efficient cancer therapy. Herein, unique photothermal assemblies with tunable patterns of gold nanoparticles (including arcs, rings, ribbons, and vesicles) on poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) spheres are constructed taking advantage of emulsion‐confined and polymer‐directed self‐assembly strategies. The influencing factors and formation mechanism to produce the assemblies are investigated in details. Both the emulsion structure and migration behaviors of amphiphilic block copolymer tethered gold nanoparticles are found to contribute to the formation of versatile photothermal assemblies. Hyaluronic acid‐modified R‐PLGA‐Au (RPA) exhibits outstanding photothermal performances under NIR laser irradiation, which is induced by strong plasmonic coupling between adjacent gold nanoparticles. It is interesting that secondary assembly of RPA can be triggered by NIR laser irradiation. Prolonged residence time in tumors is achieved after RPA assemblies are fused into superstructures with larger sizes, realizing real‐time monitoring of the therapeutic processes via PAI with enhanced photoacoustic signals. Notably, synergistic effect resulting from PTT‐enhanced chemotherapy is realized to demonstrate high antitumor performance. This work provides a facile strategy to construct flexible photothermal assemblies with favorable properties for imaging‐guided synergistic therapy. 相似文献

The past three decades have witnessed notable advances in establishing photosensitizer–antibody photo‐immunoconjugates for photo‐immunotherapy and imaging of tumors. Photo‐immunotherapy minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue when using a cancer‐selective photo‐immunoconjugate, but requires a threshold intracellular photosensitizer concentration to be effective. Delivery of immunoconjugates to the target cells is often hindered by I) the low photosensitizer‐to‐antibody ratio of photo‐immunoconjugates and II) the limited amount of target molecule presented on the cell surface. Here, a nanoengineering approach is introduced to overcome these obstacles and improve the effectiveness of photo‐immunotherapy and imaging. Click chemistry coupling of benzoporphyrin derivative (BPD)–Cetuximab photo‐immunoconjugates onto FKR560 dye‐containing poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) nanoparticles markedly enhances intracellular photo‐immunoconjugate accumulation and potentiates light‐activated photo‐immunotoxicity in ovarian cancer and glioblastoma. It is further demonstrated that co‐delivery and light activation of BPD and FKR560 allow longitudinal fluorescence tracking of photoimmunoconjugate and nanoparticle in cells. Using xenograft mouse models of epithelial ovarian cancer, intravenous injection of photo‐immunoconjugated nanoparticles doubles intratumoral accumulation of photo‐immunoconjugates, resulting in an enhanced photoimmunotherapy‐mediated tumor volume reduction, compared to “standard” immunoconjugates. This generalizable “carrier effect” phenomenon is attributed to the successful incorporation of photo‐immunoconjugates onto a nanoplatform, which modulates immunoconjugate delivery and improves treatment outcomes. 相似文献

Phototherapy is a promising treatment method for cancer therapy. However, the various factors have greatly restricted phototherapy development, including the poor accumulation of photosensitizer in tumor, hypoxia in solid tumor tissue and systemic phototoxicity. Herein, a mitochondrial‐targeted multifunctional dye‐anchored manganese oxide nanoparticle (IR808@MnO NP) is developed for enhancing phototherapy of cancer. In this nanoplatform, IR808 as a small molecule dye acts as a tumor targeting ligand to make IR808@MnO NPs with capacity to actively target tumor cells and relocate finally in the mitochondria. Meanwhile, continuous production of oxygen (O2) and regulation of pH induced by the high reactivity and specificity of MnO NPs toward mitochondrial endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could effectively modulate tumor hypoxia and lessen the tumor subacid environment. Large amounts of reactive oxide species (ROS) are generated during the reaction process between H2O2 and MnO NPs. Furthermore, under laser irradiation, IR808 in IR808@MnO NPs turns O2 into a highly toxic singlet oxygen (1O2) and generates hyperthermia. The results indicate that IR808@MnO NPs have the high efficiency of specific targeting of tumors, relieving tumor subacid environment, improving the tumor hypoxia environment, and generating large amounts of ROS to kill tumor cells. It is expected to have a wide application in treating cancer. 相似文献

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
