Zn(ii)-Coordination-driven self-assembled nanoagents for multimodal imaging-guided photothermal/gene synergistic therapy.

ABSTRACT: Synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT) with gene therapy (GT) has drawn emerging interest in the improvement of cancer therapeutic efficiency, while the co-delivery of photothermal agents (PTAs) and therapeutic genes by an integrated nanoplatform, with controllability and biodegradability, is still challenging and urgently desired. Herein, a multi-functional metal-organic framework (MOF) based PTT-GT platform (siRNA@PT-ZIF-8) was developed, which was constructed with siRNA, a near-infrared (NIR) responsive organic dye IR780 derivative (IR780-1), and 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM) by a facile one-pot self-assembly method. This "all-in-one" system of siRNA@PT-ZIF-8 enabled not only photothermal/photoacoustic/fluorescence multimodal imaging but also tumor microenvironment responsiveness for specific and on-demand release of therapeutic cargos, overcoming the inherent limitations of free gene or organic PTA molecules (e.g., short blood circulation half-life and weak stability) in conventional PTT and GT. This nanoplatform provides an efficient and safe strategy for cancer theranostics, and the one-step assembly strategy favors personalized formulation design for diverse demands in cancer management.

Project description:Background and Purpose:The development of multiple drug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapy and single modal therapy remains unsatisfied for the eradication of tumor, which are major obstacles in cancer therapy. This novel system with excellent characteristics for inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging-guided chemo-photothermal therapy (PTT), has been identified as a promising way to MDR and achieve synergistic cancer therapy. Methods:In this study, we successfully synthesized a multifunctional theranostic system, which was developed through FDA-approved self-assembling drugs, which contain anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox), imaging and high photothermal conversion drug indocyanine green (ICG) and P-gp regulator TPGS (the system named T/Dox-ICG). We studied the characterization of T/Dox-ICG NPs, including the TEM, SEM, DLS, UV-vis-NIR, zeta potential, CLSM, in vitro FL imaging, in vitro photothermal effect, in vitro Dox and ICG release. We used CLSM to verify the location of intracellular distribution of Dox in SCG 7901/VCR cells, Western blot was performed to demonstrate the TPGS-mediated inhibition of P-gp. And, the cytotoxicity of materials against SCG 7901/VCR cells was studied by the MTT assay. Results:The TEM showed the T/Dox-ICG NPs had good monodispersity with diameters of 19.03 nm, Dox and ICG could be released constantly from T/Dox-ICG NPs in vitro. In vitro cell experiments demonstrated higher Dox accumulation and retention in the nucleus. Western blot showed TPGS could obviously inhibit the expression of P-gp. In vitro cytotoxicity assay showed more significant cytotoxicity on MDR cells (SCG 7901/VCR) with only 8.75% of cells surviving. Conclusion:MDR cancer therapy indicates that it may be important to develop a safer system that can simultaneously inhibit the drug transporters and monitor the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents, and combination therapy have raised widespread concern on tumor treatment.
