A combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer therapy. To ensure that the chemotherapeutic drug and photothermal agent can be simultaneously delivered to the tumor site to exert their synergistic effects, a safe and efficient delivery system is needed. Herein, we fabricated doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX)- and indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded microneedle (MN) patches (PVP@DOX/MSN@ICG) using a two-step casting process. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were used to improve the ICG stability and avoid reducing its PTT efficiency in vivo. The MN patches exhibited a good skin penetration ability, and the tips of the MN patches were dissolved by the interstitial fluid to release DOX and ICG at the tumor sites. Under 808 nm laser irradiation within 2 min, the local temperature in the tumor quickly reached 48 °C at a low power of 0.34 W cm-2. A combination of chemotherapy and PTT for PVP@DOX/MSN@ICG MN patches may maximally induce human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells in vitro. Moreover, the in vivo results showed that PVP@DOX/MSN@ICG MN patches had the best antitumor effects because of synergistic chemotherapy and PTT. Therefore, the composite-dissolving MN patch is a promising strategy for enhancing the antitumor effect of chemotherapy alone and shows the potential for the synergistic therapy of superficial tumors.
化疗和光热疗法(PTT)的联合已成为癌症治疗的一种有前途的策略。为了确保化疗药物和光热剂能够同时递送到肿瘤部位以发挥协同作用,需要一种安全有效的递药系统。在此,我们采用两步浇注法制备了载盐酸多柔比星(DOX)和吲哚菁绿(ICG)的微针贴片(PVP@DOX/MSN@ICG)。介孔硅纳米粒子(MSNs)用于提高 ICG 的稳定性,避免其在体内降低 PTT 效率。微针贴片具有良好的皮肤穿透能力,并且微针贴片的尖端在间质液的作用下溶解,在肿瘤部位释放 DOX 和 ICG。在 808nm 激光照射下,功率为 0.34W/cm2 时,肿瘤部位的局部温度在 2 分钟内迅速达到 48°C。PVP@DOX/MSN@ICG 微针贴片的化疗和 PTT 联合应用可能最大限度地诱导体外人骨肉瘤 MG-63 细胞。此外,体内结果表明,由于协同化疗和 PTT,PVP@DOX/MSN@ICG 微针贴片具有最佳的抗肿瘤效果。因此,复合溶解微针贴片是增强单独化疗抗肿瘤效果的一种有前途的策略,并显示出治疗浅层肿瘤的协同治疗潜力。
