An NIR-II Responsive Nanoplatform for Cancer Photothermal and Oxidative Stress Therapy

ABSTRACT: Chemodynamic therapy as an emerging therapeutic strategy has been implemented for oncotherapy. However, the reactive oxygen species can be counteracted by the exorbitant glutathione (GSH) produced by the tumor cells before exerting the antitumor effect. Herein, borneol (NB) serving as a monoterpenoid sensitizer, and copper sulfide (CuS NPs) as an NIR-II photothermal agent were loaded in a thermo-responsive vehicle (NB/CuS@PCM NPs). Under 1,060-nm laser irradiation, the hyperthermia produced by CuS NPs can be used for photothermal therapy and melt the phase change material for drug delivery. In the acidity microenvironment, the CuS NPs released from NB/CuS@PCM NPs could degrade to Cu2+, then Cu2+ was reduced to Cu+ during the depletion of GSH. As Fenton-like catalyst, the copper ion could convert hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals for chemodynamic therapy. Moreover, the NB originated from NB/CuS@PCM NPs could increase the intracellular ROS content to improve the treatment outcome of chemodynamic therapy. The animal experimental results indicated that the NB/CuS@PCM NPs could accumulate at the tumor site and exhibit an excellent antitumor effect. This work confirmed that the combination of oxidative stress–induced damage and photothermal therapy is a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.

NIR-II-activated biocompatible hollow nanocarbons for cancer photothermal therapy.

Project description:Photothermal therapy has attracted extensive attentions in cancer treatment due to its precise spatial-temporal controllability, minimal invasiveness, and negligible side effects. However, two major deficiencies, unsatisfactory heat conversion efficiency and limited tissue penetration depth, hugely impeded its clinical application. In this work, hollow carbon nanosphere modified with polyethylene glycol-graft-polyethylenimine (HPP) was elaborately synthesized. The synthesized HPP owns outstanding physical properties as a photothermal agent, such as uniform core-shell structure, good biocompatibility and excellent heat conversion efficiency. Upon NIR-II laser irradiation, the intracellular HPP shows excellent photothermal activity towards cancer cell killing. In addition, depending on the large internal cavity of HPP, the extended biomedical application as drug carrier was also demonstrated. In general, the synthesized HPP holds a great potential in NIR-II laser-activated cancer photothermal therapy.

Redox/NIR dual-responsive MoS2 for synergetic chemo-photothermal therapy of cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The construction of a multifunctional drug delivery system with a variety of advantageous features, including targeted delivery, controlled release and combined therapy, is highly attractive but remains a challenge. RESULTS:In this study, we developed a MoS2-based hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized nanoplatform capable of achieving targeted delivery of camptothecin (CPT) and dual-stimuli-responsive drug release. HA was connected to MoS2 via a disulfide linkage, forming a sheddable HA shell on the surface of MoS2. This unique design not only effectively prevented the encapsulated CPT from randomly leaking during blood circulation but also significantly accelerated the drug release in response to tumor-associated glutathione (GSH). Moreover, the MoS2-based generated heat upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation could further increase the drug release rate as well as induce photothermal ablation of cancer cells. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that MoS2-SS-HA-CPT effectively suppressed cell proliferation and inhibited tumor growth in lung cancer cell-bearing mice under NIR irradiation via synergetic chemo-photothermal therapy. CONCLUSIONS:The as-prepared MoS2-SS-HA-CPT with high targeting ability, dual-stimuli-responsive drug release, and synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy may provide a new strategy for cancer therapy.

Upconversion NIR-II fluorophores for mitochondria-targeted cancer imaging and photothermal therapy.

Project description:NIR-II fluorophores have shown great promise for biomedical applications with superior in vivo optical properties. To date, few small-molecule NIR-II fluorophores have been discovered with donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) or symmetrical structures, and upconversion-mitochondria-targeted NIR-II dyes have not been reported. Herein, we report development of D-A type thiopyrylium-based NIR-II fluorophores with frequency upconversion luminescence (FUCL) at ~580 nm upon excitation at ~850 nm. H4-PEG-PT can not only quickly and effectively image mitochondria in live or fixed osteosarcoma cells with subcellular resolution at 1 nM, but also efficiently convert optical energy into heat, achieving mitochondria-targeted photothermal cancer therapy without ROS effects. H4-PEG-PT has been further evaluated in vivo and exhibited strong tumor uptake, specific NIR-II signals with high spatial and temporal resolution, and remarkable NIR-II image-guided photothermal therapy. This report presents the first D-A type thiopyrylium NIR-II theranostics for synchronous upconversion-mitochondria-targeted cell imaging, in vivo NIR-II osteosarcoma imaging and excellent photothermal efficiency.

BSA-Coated Gold Nanorods for NIR-II Photothermal Therapy.

Project description:The second near infrared window is considered to be the optimal optical window for medical imaging and therapy as its capability of deep tissue penetration. The preparation of the gold nanorods with long wavelength absorption and low cytotoxicity is still a challenge. A series gold nanorods with large aspect ratio have been synthesized. Strong plasma absorption in the second near infrared window from 1000 to 1300 nm could be observed. The biocompatibility of the synthesized gold nanorods is dramatically improved via coating by bovine serum albumin (BSA), while the optical properties of which remains. The breast cancer tumor-bearing mouse could be well treated by the prepared gold nanorods with the NIR-II light intensity as low as 0.75 W/cm2. In summary, these results demonstrate the feasibility of using low illumination dose to treat tumor in the NIR-II region via the large aspect ratio gould nanoparticles.

Highly Efficient 2D NIR-II Photothermal Agent with Fenton Catalytic Activity for Cancer Synergistic Photothermal-Chemodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising cancer therapeutic modality with high therapeutic specificity, however, its therapeutic effectiveness is limited by available high-efficiency photothermal agents (PTAs), especially in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow. Here, based on facile liquid-exfoliated FePS3 nanosheets, a highly efficient NIR-II PTA with its photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 43.3% is demonstrated, which is among the highest reported levels in typical PTAs. More importantly, such Fe-based 2D nanosheets also show superior Fenton catalytic activity facilitated by their ultrahigh specific surface area, simultaneously enabling cancer chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Impressively, the efficiency of CDT could be further remarkably enhanced by its photothermal effect, leading to cancer synergistic PTT/CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies reveal a highly efficient tumor ablation under NIR-II light irradiation. This work provides a paradigm for cancer CDT and PTT in the NIR-II biowindow via a single 2D nanoplatform with desired therapeutic effect. Furthermore, with additional possibilities for magnetic resonance imaging, photoacoustic tomography, as well as drug loading, this Fe-based 2D material could potentially serve as a 2D "all-in-one" theranostic nanoplatform.

A pH-responsive ultrathin Cu-based nanoplatform for specific photothermal and chemodynamic synergistic therapy.

Project description:Noninvasive tumor therapy requires a new generation of bionanomaterials towards sensitive response to the unique tumor microenvironment to achieve accurate and effective treatment. Herein, we have developed a tumor therapy nanoplatform by immobilizing natural glucose oxidase (GOD) onto Cu-based layered double hydroxide (CuFe-LDH) nanosheets, which for the first time integrates acid-enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT), and pH-responsive and heat-facilitated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) simultaneously. As demonstrated by EXAFS and HRTEM, CuFe-LDH nanosheets possess a considerable number of defects caused by different acid conditions, resulting in a significantly acid-enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency (83.2% at pH 5.4 vs. 46.0% at pH 7.4). Moreover, GOD/CuFe-LDH nanosheets can convert a cascade of glucose into hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) under tumor acid conditions, which is validated by a high maximum velocity (V max = 2.00 × 10-7 M) and low Michaelis-Menten constant (K M = 12.01 mM). With the combination of PTT and CDT, the tumor tissue in vivo is almost eliminated with low-dose drug injection (1 mg kg-1). Therefore, this novel pH-responsive Cu-based nanoplatform holds great promise in tumor-specific CDT/PTT synergistic therapy.

Photothermal Therapy <i>via</i> NIR II Light Irradiation Enhances DNA Damage and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress for Efficient Chemotherapy.

Project description:Ovarian cancer has the highest death rate in gynecologic tumors and the main therapy for patients with advanced is chemotherapy based on cisplatin. Additionally, hyperthermic intraperitoneal has been used in clinic to obtain better efficacy for patients. Hence, combined photothermal therapy with platinum drugs in a new delivery system might bring new hope for ovarian cancer. A reduction sensitive polymer encapsulating a Pt (IV) prodrug and a near infrared II (NIR II) photothermal agent IR1048 to form nanoparticles were reported to enhance the efficacy of ovarian cancer treatment. At the same time, endoplasmic reticulum stress indicates an imbalance in proteostasis which probably caused by extrinsic stress such as chemotherapy and the temperature changed. The efficacy of nanoparticles containing Pt (IV) and IR1048 under NIR II light might be caused via increased DNA damage and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Intracellular Ca2+ Cascade Guided by NIR-II Photothermal Switch for Specific Tumor Therapy.

Project description:Currently, patients receiving cancer treatments routinely suffer from distressing toxic effects, most originating from premature drug leakage, poor biocompatibility, and off-targeting. For tackling this challenge, we construct an intracellular Ca2+ cascade for tumor therapy via photothermal activation of TRPV1 channels. The nanoplatform creates an artificial calcium overloading stress in specific tumor cells, which is responsible for efficient cell death. Notably, this efficient treatment is activated by mild acidity and TRPV1 channels simultaneously, which contributes to precise tumor therapy and is not limited to hypoxic tumor. In addition, Ca2+ possesses inherent unique biological effect and normal cells are more tolerant of the undesirable destructive influence than tumor cells. The Ca2+ overload leads to cell death due to mitochondrial dysfunction (upregulation of Caspase-3, cytochrome c, and downregulation of Bcl-2 and ATP), and in vivo, the released photothermal CuS nanoparticles allow an enhanced 3D photoacoustic imaging and provide instant diagnosis.

Self-assembled porphyrin polymer nanoparticles with NIR-II emission and highly efficient photothermal performance in cancer therapy.

Project description:The development of new organic nanoagents with extremely high photothermal conversion efficiency and good biocompatibility has gained considerable attention in the area of photothermal cancer therapy. In this work, we designed and synthesized a new porphyrin polymer (P-PPor) with donor-acceptor (D-A) structure. P-PPor displayed intense absorbance in the near-infrared (NIR) region with the maximum peak around at 850 nm. Under excitation of 808 nm, P-PPor demonstrated the significant fluorescence in the NIR-II region (λ max = 1015 nm), with the fluorescence quantum yield of 2.19%. Due to the presence of hydrophilic PEG chains and hydrophobic alkyl chains in the conjugated skeleton, the amphiphilic P-PPor could self-assemble into the nanoparticles (P-PPor NPs) with good dispersibility in water and enhanced absorption in the NIR region. Moreover, P-PPor NPs exhibited quenched fluorescence because of the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, resulting in the distinct photothermal effect. The photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of P-PPor NPs was measured as 66% under 808 nm laser irradiation, higher than most of PTT agents. The remarkable photothermal effect of P-PPor NPs was further demonstrated in vitro and in vivo using 4T1 tumor mode. Meanwhile, the NIR-II fluorescence imaging in vivo indicated the high distribution of P-PPor NPs in tumor site. These results suggested that P-PPor NPs could effectively damage the cancer cells in mice under 808 nm laser irradiation, and did not cause any obvious side effects after phototherapy. Thus, P-PPor NPs could be used as a potential agent in photothermal cancer therapy with high effectiveness and safety.

NIR-triggered thermo-responsive biodegradable hydrogel with combination of photothermal and thermodynamic therapy for hypoxic tumor.

Project description:Hypoxia is a typical feature of solid tumors, which highly limits the application of the oxygen-dependent therapy. Also, the dense and hyperbaric tumor tissues impede the penetration of nanoparticles into the deep tumor. Thereby, we designed a novel localized injectable hydrogel combining the photothermal therapy (PTT) and the thermodynamic therapy (TDT), which is based on the generation of free radicals even in the absence of oxygen for hypoxic tumor therapy. In our study, gold nanorods (AuNRs) and 2,2'-Azobis[2-(2-imidazalin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochlaride (AIPH) were incorporated into the hydrogel networks, which were formed by the copolymerization of hydrophobic N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) and hydrophilic glycidyl methacrylate modified hyaluronic acid (HA-GMA) to fabricate an injectable and near-infrared (NIR) responsive hydrogel. The crosslinked in situ forming hydrogel could not only realize PTT upon the NIR laser irradiation, but also generate free radicals even in hypoxic condition. Meanwhile the shrink of hydrogels upon thermal could accelerate the generation of free radicals to further damage the tumors, achieving the controlled drug release on demand. The designed hydrogel with a sufficient loading capacity, excellent biocompatibility and negligible systemic toxicity could serve as a long-acting implant for NIR-triggered thermo-responsive free radical generation. The in vitro cytotoxicity result and the in vivo antitumor activity illustrated the excellent therapeutic effect of hydrogels even in the absence of oxygen. Therefore, this innovative oxygen-independent platform combining the antitumor effects of PTT and TDT would bring a new insight into hypoxic tumor therapy by the application of alkyl free radical.
