The development of nanotheranostic agents that integrate diagnosis and therapy for effective personalized precision medicine has obtained tremendous attention in the past few decades. In this report, biocompatible electron donor–acceptor conjugated semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (PPor‐PEG NPs) with light‐harvesting unit is prepared and developed for highly effective photoacoustic imaging guided photothermal therapy. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that the concept of light‐harvesting unit is exploited for enhancing the photoacoustic signal and photothermal energy conversion in polymer‐based theranostic agent. Combined with additional merits including donor–acceptor pair to favor electron transfer and fluorescence quenching effect after NP formation, the photothermal conversion efficiency of the PPor‐PEG NPs is determined to be 62.3%, which is the highest value among reported polymer NPs. Moreover, the as‐prepared PPor‐PEG NP not only exhibits a remarkable cell‐killing ability but also achieves 100% tumor elimination, demonstrating its excellent photothermal therapeutic efficacy. Finally, the as‐prepared water‐dispersible PPor‐PEG NPs show good biocompatibility and biosafety, making them a promising candidate for future clinical applications in cancer theranostics.  相似文献

Improving the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a powerful non‐invasive medical imaging technique, requires the development of novel contrast agents with a higher efficiency than gadolinium chelates such as DTPA:Gd (DTPA: diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) that are currently used for clinical diagnosis. To achieve this objective, the strategy that we have explored involves the use of gold nanoparticles as carriers for gadolinium chelates. These nanoparticles are obtained by reducing a gold salt in the presence of a dithiolated derivative of DTPA. Characterization of these particles by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), colorimetric titration, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals the presence of a multilayered shell containing about 150 ligands on 2–2.5 nm sized particles. These particles exhibit a high relaxivity (r1 = 585 mM –1 s–1 as compared to 3.0 mM –1 s–1 for DTPA:Gd), rendering them very attractive as contrast agents for MRI.  相似文献

Recently, near‐infrared (NIR) absorbing conjugated polymeric nanoparticles have received significant attention in photothermal therapy of cancer. Herein, polypyrrole (PPy), a NIR‐absorbing conjugate polymer, is used to coat ultra‐small iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), obtaining multifunctional IONP@PPy nanocomposite which is further modified by the biocompatible polyethylene glycol (PEG) through a layer‐by‐layer method to acquire high stability in physiological solutions. Utilizing the optical and magnetic properties of the yielded IONP@PPy‐PEG nanoparticles, in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) and photoacoustic imaging of tumor‐bearing mice are conducted, revealing strong tumor uptake of those nanoparticles after intravenous injection. In vivo photothermal therapy is then designed and carried out, achieving excellent tumor ablation therapeutic effect in mice experiments. These results promise the use of multifunctional NIR‐absorbing organic‐inorganic hybrid nanomaterials, such as IONP@PPy‐PEG presented here, for potential applications in cancer theranostics.  相似文献

Facile preparation of multifunctional theranostic nanoplatforms with well‐controlled morphology and sizes remains an attractive in the area of nanomedicine. Here, a new kind of 2D transition metal dichalcogenide, rhenium disulfide (ReS2) nanosheets, with uniform sizes, strong near‐infrared (NIR) light, and strong X‐ray attenuation, is successfully synthesized. After surface modification with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), the synthesized ReS2‐PEG nanosheets are stable in various physiological solutions. In addition to their contrasts in photoacoustic imaging and X‐ray computed tomography imaging because of their strong NIR light and X‐ray absorptions, respectively, such ReS2‐PEG nanosheets can also be tracked under nuclear imaging after chelator‐free labeling with radioisotope ions, 99mTc4+. Efficient tumor accumulation of ReS2‐PEG nanosheets is then observed after intravenous injection into tumor‐bearing mice under triple‐modal imaging. The combined in vivo photothermal radiotherapy is further conducted, achieving a remarkable synergistic tumor destruction effect. Finally, no obvious toxicity of ReS2‐PEG nanosheets is observed from the treated mice within 30 d. This work suggests that such ultrathin ReS2 nanosheets with well‐controlled morphology and uniform sizes may be a promising type of multifunctional theranostic agent for remotely triggered cancer combination therapy.  相似文献

The integration of efficient imaging for diagnosis and synergistic tumor therapy into a single‐component nanoplatform is much promising for high efficacy tumor treatment but still in a great challenge. Herein, a smart and versatile nanotheranostic platform based on hollow mesoporous Prussian blue nanoparticles (HMPBs) with perfluoropentane (PFP) and doxorubicin (DOX) inside, has been designed, for the first time, to achieve the distinct in vivo synergistic chemo‐thermal tumor therapy and synchronous diagnosis and monitoring by ultrasound (US)/photoacoustic (PA) dual mode imaging. The prepared HMPBs show excellent photothermal conversion properties with large molar extinction coefficient (≈1.2 × 1011m ?1 cm?1) and extremely high photothermal conversion efficiency (41.4%). Such a novel theranostic nanoplatform is expected to overcome the inevitable tumor recurrence and metastasis resulting from the inhomogeneous ablation of single thermal therapy, which will find a promising prospect in the application of noninvasive cancer therapy.  相似文献

Given the promise of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for photothermal therapy, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and gene therapy, there is a need for non‐invasive imaging methods to monitor CNT distribution and fate in the body. In this study, non‐ionizing whole‐body high field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to follow the distribution of water‐dispersible non‐toxic functionalized CNTs administrated intravenously to mice. Oxidized CNTs are endowed with positive MRI contrast properties by covalent functionalization with the chelating ligand diethylenetriaminepentaacetic dianhydride (DTPA), followed by chelation to Gd3+. The structural and magnetic properties, MR relaxivities, cellular uptake, and application for MRI cell imaging of Gd‐CNTs in comparison to the precursor oxidized CNTs are evaluated. Despite the intrinsic T2 contrast of oxidized CNTs internalized in macrophages, the anchoring of paramagnetic gadolinium onto the nanotube sidewall allows efficient T1 contrast and MR signal enhancement, which is preserved after CNT internalization by cells. Hence, due to their high dispersibility, Gd‐CNTs have the potential to produce positive contrast in vivo following injection into the bloodstream. The uptake of Gd‐CNTs in the liver and spleen is assessed using MRI, while rapid renal clearance of extracellular Gd‐CNTs is observed, confirming the evidences of other studies using different imaging modalities.  相似文献

The efficacy of radiation therapy (RT) is often limited by the poor response of hypoxia inside most solid tumors. The development of a theranostic nanoplatform for precision‐imaging‐guided sensitized RT for tumor hypoxia is still challenging. Herein, the creation of hypoxia‐targeted dendrimer‐entrapped gold nanoparticles complexed with gadolinium(III) (Gd‐Au DENPs‐Nit) for dual‐mode CT/MR imaging and sensitized RT of hypoxic tumors is reported. In this work, generation 5 poly(amidoamine) dendrimers are partially conjugated with Gd(III) chelator, entrapped with Au nanoparticles, and conjugated with hypoxia‐targeting agent nitroimidazole via a polyethylene glycol linker, and ending with chelation of Gd(III) and conversion of their leftover amine termini to acetamides. The designed dendrimer‐based nanohybrids with 3.2 nm Au cores exhibit an excellent X‐ray attenuation effect, acceptable r1 relaxivity (1.32 mM?1 s?1), and enhanced cellular uptake in hypoxic cancer cells, affording efficient dual‐mode CT/MR imaging of tumor hypoxia. Under X‐ray irradiation, the Gd‐Au DENPs‐Nit nanohybrids can produce reactive oxygen species, promote DNA damage, and prevent DNA repair, facilitating sensitized RT of hypoxic cancer cells in vitro and tumor hypoxia in vivo. The developed hypoxia‐targeted dendrimer‐based nanohybrids may be employed as both contrast agents and nanosensitizers for precision tumor hypoxia imaging and sensitized tumor RT.  相似文献

Protein‐based theranostic agents (PBTAs) exhibit superior performance in the diagnosis and therapy of cancers. However, the in vivo applications of PBTA are largely limited by undesired accumulation, penetration, or selectivity. Here, an ATP‐supersensitive protein cluster is fabricated for promoting PBTA delivery and enhancing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐guided tumor photothermal therapy. Gd3+‐ and CuS‐coloaded small bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (GdCuB) are synthesized as the model protein with a size of 9 nm and are encapsulated into charge switchable polycations (DEP) to form DEP/GdCuB nanoclusters of 120 nm. In blood circulation, DEP/GdCuB significantly extends the half‐lifetime and thereby enhances the tumor accumulation of GdCuB. When the clusters reach the tumor site, the extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can effectively trigger the release of GdCuB, resulting in tumoral deep penetration as well as the activation of T1‐weighted MRI (r1 value switched from 2.8 × 10?3 to 11.8 × 10?3 m ?1 s?1). Furthermore, this delivery strategy also improves the tumoral photothermal therapy efficacy with the MRI‐guided therapy. The study of ATP‐activated nanoclusters develops a novel strategy for tumor deep penetration and on/off imaging of PBTA by size switchable technology, and reveals the potential for MRI‐guided therapy of cancers.  相似文献

Fabrication of ultrasmall single‐component omnipotent nanotheranostic agents integrated with multimodal imaging and multiple therapeutic functions becomes more and more practically relevant but challenging. In this article, sub 10 nm Bi2S3 biocompatible particles are prepared through a bovine serum albumin (BSA)‐mediated biomineralization process under ambient aqueous conditions. Owing to the ultrasmall size and colloidal stability, the resulting nanoparticles (NPs) present outstanding blood circulation behavior and excellent tumor targeting ability. Toward theranostic applications, the biosafety profile is carefully investigated. In addition, photothermal conversion is characterized for both photoacoustic imaging and photothermal treatment of cancers. Upon radiolabeling, the performance of the resulting particles for SPECT/CT imaging in vivo is also carried out. Additionally, different combinations of treatments are applied for evaluating the performance of the as‐prepared Bi2S3 NPs in photothermal‐ and radiotherapy of tumors. Due to the remarkable photothermal conversion efficiency and large X‐ray attenuation coefficient, the implanted tumors are completely eradicated through combined therapies, which highlights the potential of BSA‐capped Bi2S3 NPs as a novel multifunctional nanotheranostic agent.  相似文献

Fabricating theranostic nanoparticles combining multimode disease diagnosis and therapeutic has become an emerging approach for personal nanomedicine. However, the diagnostic capability, biocompatibility, and therapeutic efficiency of theranostic nanoplatforms limit their clinic widespread applications. Targeting to the theme of accurate diagnosis and effective therapy of cancer cells, a multifunctional nanoplatform of aptamer and polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugated MoS2 nanosheets decorated with Cu1.8S nanoparticles (ATPMC) is developed. The ATPMC nanoplatform accomplishes photoluminescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and photothermal imaging for in vitro and in vivo tumor cells imaging diagnosis. Meanwhile, the ATPMC nanoplatform facilitates selective delivery of gene probe to detect intracellular microRNA aberrantly expressed in cancer cells and anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) for chemotherapy. Moreover, the synergistic interaction of MoS2 and Cu1.8S renders the ATPMC nanoplatform with superb photothermal conversion efficiency. The ATPMC nanoplatform loaded with DOX displays near‐infrared laser‐induced programmed chemotherapy and advanced photothermal therapy, and the targeted chemo‐photothermal therapy presents excellent antitumor efficiency.  相似文献

Multifunctional nanodrugs integrating multiple therapeutic and imaging functions may find tremendous biomedical applications. However, the development of a simple yet potent theranostic nanosystem with a high payload and microenvironment responsiveness enhancing imaging‐guided cancer therapy is still a great challenge. Herein, a kind of MnCO‐entrapped mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles are developed, which reach a 1.5 mg payload per gram carrier and exhibit marked theranostic capability through effective CO/Mn2+ generation and photothermal conversion inside the H+ and H2O2‐enriched tumor microenvironment, for a magnetic resonance/photoacoustic bimodal imaging‐guided tumor therapy. The multifunctional nanosystem exhibits a biocompatibility highly desirable for in vivo application and superior performance in inhibiting tumor growth and recurrence via combination CO and photothermal therapy.  相似文献

The poly(maleic anhydride‐alt‐1‐octadecene‐poly(ethylene glycol)) (C18PMH‐PEG) modified single‐walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) are designed with high stability and biocompatibility. The as‐prepared SWNHs/C18PMH‐PEG not only can serve as an excellent photothermal agent but also can be used as a promising photoacoustic imaging (PAI) agent both in vitro and in vivo due to its strong absorption in the near infrared (NIR) region. The PAI result reveals that the SWNHs/C18PMH‐PEG possesses ultra long blood circulation time and can significantly be accumulated at the tumor site through the enhanced penetration and retention (EPR) effect. The maximum accumulation of SWNHs/C18PMH‐PEG at tumor site could be achieved at the time point of 24 h after intravenous injection, which is considered to be the optimal time for the 808 nm laser treatment. The subsequent photothermal ablation of tumors can be achieved without triggering any side effects. Therefore, a PAI guided PTT platform based on SWNHs is proposed and highlights the potential theranostic application for biomedical uses.  相似文献

Despite the promise of ferrotherapy in cancer treatment, current ferrous therapeutics suffer from compromised antitumor ferroptosis efficacy and low specificity for tumors. Herein, a protease-activatable nanozyme (Fe3O4@Cu1.77Se) is reported for photoacoustic and tumor-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided second near-IR photothermal ferroptosis cancer therapy. Fe3O4@Cu1.77Se remains stable in physiological conditions, but disintegrates to increase reactive intratumoral ferrous supply for elevated hydroxyl radical generation by Fenton reaction and GSH depletion in response to overexpressed matrix metalloproteinases in tumor microenvironment, leading to amplified ferroptosis of tumor cells as well as enhanced T2-weighted MRI contrast. Further integration with second near-IR photoirradiation to generate localized heat not only triggers effective photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging but more importantly, potentiates Fenton reaction to promote ferroptotic tumor cell death. Such synergism leads to the polarization of tumor-associated macrophage from the tumor-promoting M2 type to the tumor-killing M1 type, and induces the immunogenic cells death of tumor cells, which in turn promotes the maturation of dendritic cells and infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in tumor, contributing to significant tumor suppression. This study presents a novel activatable ferrous nanotheranostics for spatial-temporal control over antitumor ferroptosis responses.  相似文献

The NIR light‐induced imaging‐guided cancer therapy is a promising route in the targeting cancer therapy field. However, up to now, the existing single‐modality light‐induced imaging effects are not enough to meet the higher diagnosis requirement. Thus, the multifunctional cancer therapy platform with multimode light‐induced imaging effects is highly desirable. In this work, captopril stabilized‐Au nanoclusters Au25(Capt)18?(Au25) are assembled into the mesoporous silica shell coating outside of Nd3+‐sensitized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for the first time. The newly formed Au25 shell exhibits considerable photothermal effects, bringing about the photothermal imaging and photoacoustic imaging properties, which couple with the upconversion luminescence imaging. More importantly, the three light‐induced imaging effects can be simultaneously achieved by exciting with a single NIR light (808 nm), which is also the triggering factor for the photothermal and photodynamic cancer therapy. Besides, the nanoparticles can also present the magnetic resonance and computer tomography imaging effects due to the Gd3+ and Yb3+ ions in the UCNPs. Furthermore, due to the photodynamic and the photothermal effects, the nanoparticles possess efficient in vivo tumor growth inhibition under the single irradiation of 808 nm light. The multifunctional cancer therapy platform with multimode imaging effects realizes a true sense of light‐induced imaging‐guided cancer therapy.  相似文献

The quantitative detection of microRNA (miR) and multimode‐imaging‐induced photothermal therapy in vivo have become the focus of much attention. Platinum (Pt) decorated gold nanorods (AuNR‐Pt) and Ag2S core–satellite (AuNR‐Pt@Ag2S) multifunctional nanostructures are fabricated to quantify intracellular miRs (miR‐21), near‐infrared fluorescence cell quantitative imaging, and tumor ablation in vivo. When combined with miR‐21, the nanoassembly displays significant fluorescence intensity in the second window of the near‐infrared region (1000–1700 nm) after 808 nm excitation. The Ag2S fluorescence intensity has a good linear relationship with the amount of intracellular miR in the range of 0.054–20.45 amol ngRNA ?1 and a limit of detection of 0.0082 amol ngRNA ?1. The nanoassembly is also used to develop multimodal bioimaging, including near‐infrared, X‐ray computed tomographic, and photoacoustic imaging in HeLa‐tumor‐bearing mice. Moreover, the tumors are completely eliminated by the high photothermal capacity of the AuNR‐Pt@Ag2S assembly. This nanoassembly provides a multifunctional nanoplatform for the ultrasensitive detection of miRs and tumor diagnosis and therapy in vivo.  相似文献

Near infrared light, especially the second near‐infrared light (NIR II) biowindows with deep penetration and high sensitivity are widely used for optical diagnosis and phototherapy. Here, a novel kind of 2D SnTe@MnO2‐SP nanosheet (NS)‐based nanoplatform is developed for cancer theranostics with NIR II‐mediated precise optical imaging and effective photothermal ablation of mouse xenografted tumors. The 2D SnTe@MnO2‐SP NSs are fabricated via a facile method combining ball‐milling and liquid exfoliation for synthesis of SnTe NSs, and surface coating MnO2 shell and soybean phospholipid (SP). The ultrathin SnTe@MnO2‐SP NSs reveal notably high photothermal conversion efficiency (38.2% in NIR I and 43.9% in NIR II). The SnTe@MnO2‐SP NSs inherently feature tumor microenvironment (TME)‐responsive biodegradability, and the main metabolite TeO32? shows great antitumor effect, coupling synergetic chemotherapy for cancer. Moreover, the SnTe@MnO2‐SP NSs also exhibit great potential for fluorescence, photoacoustic (PA), and photothermal imaging agents in the NIR II biowindow with much higher resolution and sensitivity. This is the first report, as far as is known, with such an inorganic nanoagent setting fluorescence/PA/photothermal imaging and photothermal therapy in NIR II biowindow and TME‐responsive biodegradability rolled into one, which provide insight into the clinical potential for cancer theranostics.  相似文献

Monodispersed water‐soluble and biocompatible ultrasmall magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (UMIONs, D = 3.3 ± 0.5 nm) generated from a high‐temperature coprecipitation route are successfully used as efficient positive and negative dual contrast agents of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Their longitudinal relaxivity at 4.7 T (r1 = 8.3 mM?1 s?1) is larger than that of clinically used T1‐positive agent Gd‐DTPA (r1 = 4.8 mM?1 s?1), and three times that of commercial contrast agent SHU‐555C (r1 = 2.9 mM?1 s?1). The transversal relaxivity (r2 = 35.1 mM?1 s?1) is six times that of Gd‐DTPA (r2 = 5.3 mM?1 s?1), half of SHU‐555C (r2 = 69 mM?1 s?1). The in vivo results show that the liver signal from T1‐weighted MRI is positively enhanced 26%, and then negatively decreased 20% after injection of the iron oxide nanoparticles, which is stronger than those obtained from Gd‐DTPA (<10%) using the same dosage. The kidney signal is positively enhanced up to 35%, similar to that obtained from Gd‐DTPA. Under T2‐weighted conditions, the liver signal is negatively enhanced ?70%, which is significantly higher than that from Gd‐DTPA (?6%). These results demonstrate the great potential of the UMIONs in dual contrast agents, especially as an alternative to Gd‐based positive contrast agents, which have risks of inducing side effects in patients.  相似文献

Peptide materials based on the aggregation of polyphenylalanine conjugates containing gadolinium complexes and acting as potential contrast agents (CAs) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are described. Monomers contain two (F2) or four (F4) phenylalanine residues for self‐assembly, a chelating agent, 1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐N,N,N,N‐tetraacetic acid (DOTA) or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), for achieving gadolinium coordination, and ethoxylic linkers at two (L2) or six (L6) poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) units between the chelating group and the peptide region. Both DOTA and DTPA tetraphenylalanine derivatives, and their gadolinium complexes DOTA(Gd)‐L6‐F4 and DTPA(Gd)‐L6‐F4, are able to self‐aggregate at very low concentration. Structural characterization, obtained by circular dichroism and infrared measurements, confirms the amyloid type fibril formation in which an antiparallel peptide alignment is preferred. Amyloid type fibril formation is also observed, in solid state, by transmission electron microscopy images and X‐ray diffraction patterns. The relaxivity values of DOTA(Gd)‐L6‐F4 and DTPA(Gd)‐L6‐F4 and their ability to enhance the MRI cellular response on the J774A.1 mouse macrophages cell line indicate that these peptide materials are promising candidate as a new class of supramolecular gadolinium based MRI contrast agents.  相似文献

Multifunctional theranostic agents have become rather attractive to realize image‐guided combination cancer therapy. Herein, a novel method is developed to synthesize Bi2Se3 nanosheets decorated with mono‐dispersed FeSe2 nanoparticles (FeSe2/Bi2Se3) for tetra‐modal image‐guided combined photothermal and radiation tumor therapy. Interestingly, upon addition of Bi(NO3)3, pre‐made FeSe2 nanoparticles via cation exchange would be gradually converted into Bi2Se3 nanosheets, on which remaining FeSe2 nanoparticles are decorated. The yielded FeSe2/Bi2Se3 composite‐nanostructures are then modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Taking advantages of the high r 2 relaxivity of FeSe2, the X‐ray attenuation ability of Bi2Se3, the strong near‐infrared optical absorbance of the whole nanostructure, as well as the chelate‐free radiolabeling of 64Cu on FeSe2/Bi2Se3‐PEG, in vivo magnetic resonance/computer tomography/photoacoustic/position emission tomography multimodal imaging is carried out, revealing efficient tumor homing of FeSe2/Bi2Se3‐PEG after intravenous injection. Utilizing the intrinsic physical properties of FeSe2/Bi2Se3‐PEG, in vivo photothermal and radiation therapy to achieve synergistic tumor destruction is then realized, without causing obvious toxicity to the treated animals. This work presents a unique method to synthesize composite‐nanostructures with highly integrated functionalities, promising not only for nano‐biomedicine but also potentially for other different nanotechnology fields.  相似文献
