Theranostic nanosensitizers for highly efficient MR/fluorescence imaging-guided sonodynamic therapy of gliomas.

ABSTRACT: Glioma is the most frequent primary brain tumour of the central nervous system. Its high aggressiveness and deep-seated brain lesion make it a great challenge to develop a non-invasive, precise and effective treatment approach. Here, we report a multifunctional theranostic agent that can integrate imaging and therapy into a single nano-platform for imaging-guided sonodynamic therapy (SDT). The SDT agents were fabricated by encapsulation of sinoporphyrin sodium (DVDMS) chelating with manganese ions into nanoliposomes (DVDMS-Mn-LPs). DVDMS-Mn-LPs are physiologically stable and biologically compatible, and they can produce singlet oxygen upon ultrasound irradiation to kill cancer cells. Both cell and animal studies demonstrated that SDT with DVDMS-Mn-LPs can significantly improve the antitumour growth efficiency even in the presence of skull. In addition, DVDMS-Mn-LPs are good for MR and fluorescence imaging. Thus, DVDMS-Mn-LPs reported here may provide a promising strategy for imaging-guided modality for glioma treatment.

Project description:Background: Multifunctional nanoplatforms with diagnostic-imaging and targeted therapeutic functionality (theranostics) are of great interest in the field of precision nanomedicine. The emerging sonodynamic therapy (SDT) combined with sonosensitizers under the guidance of photoacoustic (PA) imaging is highly expected to accurately eliminate cancer cells/tissue. Methods: Unique core/shell-structured theranostic FA-HMME-MNPs-PLGA nanoparticles (FHMP NPs, FA: folate, HMME: hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether, MNPs: melanin nanoparticles, PLGA: poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid) were constructed by the integration of MNPs (for PA imaging) in the core and HMME in the shell for enhanced PA imaging-guided SDT, which were further functionalized with a tumor-targeting ligand, FA. The PA imaging-guided SDT was systematically and successfully demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. The high biosafety of FHMP NPs was also systematically evaluated. Results: The synthesized FHMP NPs with a broad optical absorption not only possess high PA-imaging contrast enhancement capability but also exhibit significant SDT efficiency. Importantly, such a PLGA based nanoplatform improved light stability of HMME, enhancing sonodynamic performance and facilitated delivery of MNPs to the tumor region. Meanwhile, a combined effect between HMME and MNPs was discovered and verified. Furthermore, a sonosensitizer assisted by ultrasound irradiation engenders reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cytotoxicity toward tumor cells/tissue. Both in vitro cell-level and systematic in vivo xenograft evaluations on tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that the selective killing effect of ROS on tumor cells was assisted by FHMP NPs, which played an active role in the suppression of tumor growth with high biosafety. Conclusion: A theranostic nanoplatform was successfully constructed, achieving PA imaging-guided SDT against breast cancer cells/tissue. More importantly, MNPs and HMME in one platform with combined effect for enhancing PA imaging was demonstrated. This unique theranostic nanoplatform with multiple capabilities paves a new way toward personalized medicine by rational utilization.

Project description:The therapeutic efficacy of fluorescence image-guided tumor surgery and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is impaired by the penetration depth limitation, low signal-to-noise ratio of traditional first near-infrared window (NIR I) fluorescence and the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Here, a "red blood cell-based multimodal probe" was proposed to achieve enhanced tumor targeting and retention of fluorescent probes after an intravenous injection, so that second near-infrared window (NIR II) fluorescence bioimaging-guided complete tumor resection and high-efficiency photodynamic therapy could then be realized. Methods: The hexanoic acid ester-modified rose bengal (RB-HA), RGD (Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic) peptide and avidin were covalently coupled onto amine-modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) via EDC/NHS reaction (UCNPs@RB@RGD@avidin). Afterwards, the complex of ICG with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was loaded into RBCs through hypotonic dialysis (RBC@ICG). Then, the membrane proteins of RBC@ICG were biotinylated by biotin-modified phospholipids (RBC@ICG@biotin). Finally, the RBCp (Red Blood Cell based probe) was obtained by crosslinking UCNPs@RB@RGD@avidin to RBC@ICG@biotin through the interaction of avidin and biotin. The obtained multimodal RBCp was extensively characterized, both in vitro and in vivo, including analysis of chemical, physical and fluorescent features, O2 delivery ability, tumor accumulation, NIR II fluorescence bioimaging ability, photodynamic therapeutic efficiency, and biosafety. Results: The RBCp experienced efficient tumor targeting and long tumor retention for almost 4 h after intravenous injection, and the superior signal-to-noise ratio at the optimal time window can be used for guiding precise tumor resection under an 808-nm laser irradiation to facilitate lymph popliteal metastasis surgical delineation. Meanwhile, the RBCp can provide laser-responsive O2 release to enhance the PDT efficiency of popliteal lymph node metastasis under NIR II fluorescence bioimaging guidance. These excellent performances obviously lead to remarkably enhanced synergistic therapeutic effects of tumor surgery and metastatic inhibition. Conclusion: The proposed strategy will develop a new platform to increase surgical resection completeness and improve PDT efficiency, resulting in the successful and complete inhibition of tumor and metastasis, which could offer a promising approach for the clinical translation of malignant tumor treatment.
