Near-Infrared Photothermal Release of siRNA from the Surface of Colloidal Gold-Silver-Gold Core-Shell-Shell Nanoparticles Studied with Second-Harmonic Generation.

ABSTRACT: Photothermal release of oligonucleotides from the surface of plasmonic nanoparticles represents a promising platform for spatiotemporal controlled drug delivery. Here we demonstrate the use of novel gold-silver-gold core-shell-shell (CSS) nanoparticles to study the photothermal cleaving and release of micro-RNA (miRNA) mimics or small interfering RNA (siRNA) under nearinfrared (NIR) irradiation. The furan-maleimide-based Diels-Alder adduct cleaves thermally above 60 °C and is used to bind siRNA to the colloidal nanoparticle surface in water. We investigate the photothermal cleaving kinetics of siRNA under different NIR laser powers using surface-sensitive time-dependent second-harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy. The photothermal release of siRNA from the surface of CSS nanoparticles is significantly higher than that from the surface of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) under similar experimental conditions. These results demonstrate that plasmonic CSS nanoparticles with photothermal cleaving linkers have important potential applications for nanoparticle-based NIR-mediated drug-delivery systems.

Project description:Colloidal metal nanocrystals (NCs) show great potential in plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy owing to their attractive and structure-depended plasmonic properties. Herein, unique Au rod-cup NCs, where Au nanocups are embedded on the one or two ends of Au nanorods (NRs), are successfully prepared for the first time via a controllable wet-chemistry strategy. The Au rod-cup NCs possess multiple plasmon modes including transverse and longitudinal electric dipole (TED and LED), magnetic dipole (MD), and toroidal dipole (TD) modulated LED resonances, producing large extinction cross-section and huge near-field enhancements for plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy. Particularly, Au rod-cup NCs with two embedded cups show excellent surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) performance than Au NRs (75.6-fold enhancement excited at 633 nm) on detecting crystal violet owing to the strong electromagnetic hotspots synergistically induced by MD, LED, and TED-based plasmon coupling between Au cup and rod. Moreover, the strong TD-modulated dipole-dipole double-resonance and MD modes in Au rod-cup NCs bring a 37.3-fold enhancement of second-harmonic generation intensity compared with bare Au NRs, because they can efficiently harvest photoenergy at fundamental frequency and generate large near-field enhancements at second-harmonic wavelength. These findings provide a strategy for designing optical nanoantennas for plasmon-enhanced applications based on multiple plasmon modes.Electronic supplementary materialSupplementary material (SEM image of Au rod-one-cup NCs; TEM image of Au/PbS hybrids; SEM image of Au rod-two-cup NCs; low-amplification SEM image of Au rod-two-cup NCs; experimental extinction and calculated electric field distributions of Au NR excited at different wavelengths; calculated absorption and scattering spectra of Au rod-one-cup NCs; schematic illustration of the cut plane and the corresponding magnetic field distribution under L3 excitation; Raman spectra of CV (10-6 M) adsorbed on Au rod-cup NCs with different cup sizes; calculated magnetic field distribution of Au rodcup NCs excited at 532 and 633 nm; calculated electric field distributions of Au rod-one-cup NC excited at 600 nm along TE and LE; the models of Au rod-cup NCs used in the simulations) is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s12274-022-4562-5.
