BiVO₄/Fe₃O₄@polydopamine superparticles for tumor multimodal imaging and synergistic therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite tremendous progress has been achieved in tumor theranostic over the past decade, accurate identification and complete eradication of tumor cells remain a great challenge owing to the limitation of single imaging modality and therapeutic strategy.

Results

Herein, we successfully design and construct BiVO₄/Fe₃O₄@polydopamine (PDA) superparticles (SPs) for computed tomography (CT)/photoacoustic (PA)/magnetic resonance (MR) multimodal imaging and radiotherapy (RT)/photothermal therapy (PTT) synergistic therapy toward oral epithelial carcinoma. On the one hand, BiVO₄ NPs endow BiVO₄/Fe₃O₄@PDA SPs with impressive X-ray absorption capability due to the high X-ray attenuation coefficient of Bi, which is beneficial for their utilization as radiosensitizers for CT imaging and RT. On the other hand, Fe₃O₄ NPs impart BiVO₄/Fe₃O₄@PDA SPs with the superparamagnetic property as a T₂-weighted contrast agent for MR imaging. Importantly, the aggregation of Fe₃O₄ NPs in SPs and the presence of PDA shell greatly improve the photothermal conversion capability of SPs, making BiVO₄/Fe₃O₄@PDA SPs as an ideal photothermal transducer for PA imaging and PTT. By integrating advantages of various imaging modalities (CT/PA/MR) and therapeutic strategies (RT/PTT), our BiVO₄/Fe₃O₄@PDA SPs exhibit the sensitive multimodal imaging feature and superior synergistic therapeutic efficacy on tumors.

Conclusions

Since there are many kinds of building blocks with unique properties appropriating for self-assembly, our work may largely enrich the library of nanomateirals for tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Polydopamine-Modified 2D Iron (II) Immobilized MnPS3 Nanosheets for Multimodal Imaging-Guided Cancer Synergistic Photothermal-Chemodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Manganese phosphosulphide (MnPS3 ), a newly emerged and promising member of the 2D metal phosphorus trichalcogenides (MPX3 ) family, has aroused abundant interest due to its unique physicochemical properties and applications in energy storage and conversion. However, its potential in the field of biomedicine, particularly as a nanotherapeutic platform for cancer therapy, has remained largely unexplored. Herein, a 2D "all-in-one" theranostic nanoplatform based on MnPS3 is designed and applied for imaging-guided synergistic photothermal-chemodynamic therapy. (Iron) Fe (II) ions are immobilized on the surface of MnPS3 nanosheets to facilitate effective chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Upon surface modification with polydopamine (PDA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), the obtained Fe-MnPS3 /PDA-PEG nanosheets exhibit exceptional photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 40.7%) and proficient pH/NIR-responsive Fenton catalytic activity, enabling efficient photothermal therapy (PTT) and CDT. Importantly, such nanoplatform can also serve as an efficient theranostic agent for multimodal imaging, facilitating real-time monitoring and guidance of the therapeutic process. After fulfilling the therapeutic functions, the Fe-MnPS3 /PDA-PEG nanosheets can be efficiently excreted from the body, alleviating the concerns of long-term retention and potential toxicity. This work presents an effective, precise, and safe 2D "all-in-one" theranostic nanoplatform based on MnPS3 for high-efficiency tumor-specific theranostics.

Tumor-targeted Gd-doped mesoporous Fe3O4 nanoparticles for T1/T2 MR imaging guided synergistic cancer therapy.

Project description:In this study, a novel intelligent nanoplatform to integrate multiple imaging and therapeutic functions for targeted cancer theranostics. The nanoplatform, DOX@Gd-MFe3O4 NPs, was constructed Gd-doped mesoporous Fe3O4 nanoparticles following with the doxorubicin (DOX) loading in the mesopores of the NPs. The DOX@Gd-MFe3O4 NPs exhibited good properties in colloidal dispersity, photothermal conversion, NIR triggered drug release, and high T1/T2 relaxicity rate (r1=9.64 mM-1s-1, r2= 177.71 mM-1s-1). Benefiting from the high MR contrast, DOX@Gd-MFe3O4 NPs enabled simultaneous T1/T2 dual-modal MR imagining on 4T1 bearing mice in vivo and the MR contrast effect was further strengthened by external magnetic field. In addition, the DOX@Gd-MFe3O4 NPs revealed the strongest inhibition to the growth of 4T1 in vitro and in vivo under NIR irradiation and guidance of external magnetic field. Moreover, biosafety was also validated by in vitro and in vivo tests. Thus, the prepared DOX@Gd-MFe3O4 NPs would provide a promising intelligent nanoplatform for dual-modal MR imagining guided synergistic therapy in cancer theranostics.

Polydopamine Coated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes as a Versatile Platform with Radionuclide Labeling for Multimodal Tumor Imaging and Therapy.

Project description:Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with various unique properties have attracted great attention in cancer theranostics. Herein, SWNTs are coated with a shell of polydopamine (PDA), which is further modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG). The PDA shell in the obtained SWNT@PDA-PEG could chelate Mn(2+), which together with metallic nanoparticulate impurities anchored on SWNTs offer enhanced both T1 and T2 contrasts under magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Meanwhile, also utilizing the PDA shell, radionuclide (131)I could be easily labeled onto SWNT@PDA-PEG, enabling nuclear imaging and radioisotope cancer therapy. As revealed by MR & gamma imaging, efficient tumor accumulation of SWNT@PDA-(131)I-PEG is observed after systemic administration into mice. By further utilizing the strong near-infarared (NIR) absorbance of SWNTs, NIR-triggered photothermal therapy in combination with (131)I-based radioisotope therapy is realized in our animal experiments, in which a remarkable synergistic antitumor therapeutic effect is observed compared to monotherapies. Our work not only presents a new type of theranostic nanoplatform based on SWNTs, but also suggests the promise of PDA coating as a general approach to modify nano-agents and endow them with highly integrated functionalities.

Tween-20-Modified BiVO4 Nanorods for CT Imaging-Guided Radiotherapy of Tumor.

Project description:Oral cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial region, which seriously threatens the health of patients. At present, radiotherapy is one of the commonly used methods for oral cancer treatment. However, the resistance of cancerous tissues to ionizing radiation, as well as the side effects of X-rays on healthy tissues, still limit the application of radiotherapy. Therefore, how to effectively solve the above problems is still a challenge at present. Generally speaking, elements with high atomic numbers, such as bismuth, tungsten, and iodine, have a high X-ray attenuation capacity. Using nanomaterials containing these elements as radiosensitizers can greatly improve the radiotherapy effect. At the same time, the modification of nanomaterials based on the above elements with the biocompatible polymer can effectively reduce the side effects of radiosensitizers, providing a new method for the realization of efficient and safe radiotherapy for oral cancer. In this work, we prepared Tween-20-modified BiVO4 nanorods (Tw20-BiVO4 NRs) and further used them in the radiotherapy of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Tw20-BiVO4 NRs are promising radiosensitizers, which can generate a large number of free radicals under X-rays, leading to the damage of cancer cells and thus playing a role in tumor therapy. In cell experiments, radiotherapy sensitization of Tw20-BiVO4 NRs significantly enhanced the production of free radicals in oral cancer cells, aggravated the destruction of chromosomes, and improved the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy. In animal experiments, the strong X-ray absorption ability of Tw20-BiVO4 NRs makes them effective contrast agents in computed tomography (CT) imaging. After the tumors are located by CT imaging, it helps to apply precise radiotherapy; the growth of subcutaneous tumors in nude mice was significantly inhibited, confirming the remarkable effect of CT imaging-guided radiotherapy.

Folic acid-conjugated gold nanorod@polypyrrole@Fe3O4 nanocomposites for targeted MR/CT/PA multimodal imaging and chemo-photothermal therapy.

Project description:Integrating multimodal bioimaging and different therapies into one nanoplatform is a promising strategy for biomedical applications, but remains a great challenge. Herein, we have synthesized a biocompatible folic acid (FA) functionalized gold nanorod@polypyrrole@Fe3O4 (GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-FA) nanocomposite through a facile method. The conjugated FA has endowed the nanocomposite with the ability to recognize targeted cancer cells. Importantly, the nanocomposite has been successfully utilized for magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography (CT) and photoacoustic (PA) multimodal imaging. Moreover, the GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-DOX nanocomposite shows pH-responsive chemotherapy and enables the integration of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy to achieve superior antitumor efficacy. The GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-DOX nanocomposites have a drug release of 23.64%, and the photothermal efficiency of the GNR@PPy@Fe3O4 nanocomposites reaches 51.46%. Cell viability decreases to 15.83% and 16.47% because of the combination of chemo-photothermal therapy effects. Moreover, the GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-DOX-FA nanocomposite could target cancer cells via folic acid and under a magnetic field. The in vivo multimodal imaging and chemo-photothermal therapy effects showed that the GNR@PPy@Fe3O4-DOX-FA nanocomposites are a good contrast and theranostic agent. Thus, this multifunctional nanocomposite could be a promising theranostic platform for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Multifunctional Fe₃O₄@polydopamine core-shell nanocomposites for intracellular mRNA detection and imaging-guided photothermal therapy.

Project description:Multifunctional nanocomposites have the potential to integrate sensing, diagnostic, and therapeutic functions into a single nanostructure. Herein, we synthesize Fe3O4@polydopamine core-shell nanocomposites (Fe3O4@PDA NCs) through an in situ self-polymerization method. Dopamine, a melanin-like mimic of mussel adhesive proteins, can self-polymerize to form surface-adherent polydopamine (PDA) films onto a wide range of materials including Fe3O4 nanoparticles used here. In such nanocomposites, PDA provides a number of advantages, such as near-infrared absorption, high fluorescence quenching efficiency, and a surface for further functionalization with biomolecules. We demonstrate the ability of the Fe3O4@PDA NCs to act as theranostic agents for intracellular mRNA detection and multimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy. This work would stimulate interest in the use of PDA as a useful material to construct multifunctional nanocomposites for biomedical applications.

pH-responsive hollow Fe-gallic acid coordination polymer for multimodal synergistic-therapy and MRI of cancer.

Project description:Tumor-microenvironment (TME) responsive nanostructures are attractive for drug delivery in clinical cancer treatment. The coordination polymer Fe-gallic acid (Fe-GA) is one of the promising drug carriers due to its pH-response, good biocompatibility, and minimal side effects. However, the hollow nanostructures of Fe-GA have not been reported until now, which seriously limits the quantity of drug delivery. Herein, hollow Fe-GA nanospheres were prepared for the first time with bovine serum albumin (BSA) combination (denoted as Fe-GA/BSA) under mild reaction conditions. Then, the antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded in the hollow Fe-GA/BSA to obtain Fe-GA/BSA@DOX. A series of experiments in vitro and in vivo indicated that the Fe-GA/BSA@DOX could efficiently respond to TME and release DOX and Fe(iii) ions. Furthermore, the Fe(iii) could consume overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells and generate Fe(ii) to trigger the Fenton reaction, producing ·OH for chemodynamic treatment (CDT) of cancer. In addition, the Fe-GA/BSA@DOX could effectively convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat by acting as a photothermal therapy (PTT) agent. Besides that, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data also showed that the Fe-GA/BSA had beneficial T1 and T2 imaging effects, demonstrating that the hollow Fe-GA/BSA has potential for multimodal synergistic cancer MRI diagnosis and therapies of drugs, CDT, and PTT.

Fabrication of doxorubicin-gated mesoporous polydopamine nanoplatforms for multimode imaging-guided synergistic chemophotothermal therapy of tumors.

Project description:A versatile theranostic agent that integrated with therapeutic and diagnostic functions is extremely essential for cancer theranostic. Herein, a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform (PFP@MPDA-DOX) based on perfluoropentane (PFP) encapsulated mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) is elaborately designed, followed by gating of drug doxorubicin (DOX) for preventing cargo leaking. The MPDA with pH-responsive biodegradation behavior was served as nanocarrier, which also endows the nanoplatform with a large cavity for PFP filling. The nanoparticles were then gated with DOX molecule by Michael addition and/or Schiff base reaction to shield the leaking of PFP during the blood circulation before the tumor tissue is reached. Also, such nanotheranostic exhibits high photothermal conversion efficiency of 45.6%, which can act as an intelligent nanosystem for photothermal therapy (PTT) and photoacoustic (PA) imaging. Moreover, the liquid-gas phase transition of PFP arising upon exposure to an 808 nm laser and thus produced the bubbles for ultrasound (US) imaging. The subsequent PFP@MPDA-DOX-mediated synergetic chemotherapy (contributed by the DOX gatekeeper) and PTT (contributed by the MPDA) shows excellent anticancer activity, which has been systematically evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. All these positive results certify that the facile incorporation of the antitumor drug gatekeeper and MPDA into one theranostic nanoplatform shows general potential for multimode PA/US imaging and combination chemotherapy/PTT of tumors.

Radionuclide Imaging-Guided Chemo-Radioisotope Synergistic Therapy Using a 131I-Labeled Polydopamine Multifunctional Nanocarrier.

Project description:Development of biocompatible nanomaterials with multiple functionalities for combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy has attracted tremendous attention in cancer treatment. Herein, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) modified polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles were successfully developed as a favorable biocompatible nanoplatform for co-loading antitumor drugs and radionuclides to achieve imaging-guided combined radio-chemotherapy. It is demonstrated that PEGylated PDA nanoparticles can effectively load two different drugs including sanguinarine (SAN) and metformin (MET), as well as radionuclides 131I in one system. The loaded SAN and MET could inhibit tumor growth via inducing cell apoptosis and relieving tumor hypoxia, while labeling PDA-PEG with 131I enables in vivo radionuclide imaging and radioisotope therapy. As revealed by the therapeutic efficacy both in cell and animal levels, the multifunctional PDA nanoparticles (131I-PDA-PEG-SAN-MET) can effectively repress the growth of cancer cells in a synergistic manner without significant toxic side effects, exhibiting superior treatment outcome than the respective monotherapy. Therefore, this study provides a promising polymer-based platform to realize imaging-guided radioisotope/chemotherapy combination cancer treatment in future clinical application.

Precise synthesis of unique polydopamine/mesoporous calcium phosphate hollow Janus nanoparticles for imaging-guided chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy.

Project description:Multifunctional polymer-inorganic Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) that simultaneously have therapeutic and imaging functions are highly desired in biomedical applications. Here, we fabricated spherical polydopamine/mesoporous calcium phosphate hollow JNPs (PDA/mCaP H-JNPs) via a novel and facile approach. The obtained PDA/mCaP H-JNPs were further selectively functionalized with indocyanine green (ICG) and methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)thiol (PEG-SH) on PDA domains to achieve a superior photoacoustic (PA) imaging capability and stability, while the other mCaP sides with hollow cavities served as storage spaces and passages for the anti-cancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). The resultant PEG-ICG-PDA/mCaP H-JNPs possess excellent biocompatibility, a competent drug loading capability, high photothermal conversion efficiency, strong near-infrared (NIR) absorbance, and pH/NIR dual-responsive properties, enabling the H-JNPs to be applied for PA imaging-guided synergistic cancer chemo-phototherapy in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the synthetic approach could be extended to prepare PDA/various mesoporous inorganic H-JNPs with spherical shapes for specific applications.
