Tumor-specific phototheranostics is conducive to realizing precise cancer therapy. Herein, a novel tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive phototheranostic paradigm based on the combination of semiconducting polymer brushes and polyoxometalate clusters (SPB@POM) is rationally designed. The acidic TME could drive the self-assembly of SPB@POM into bigger aggregates for enhanced tumor retention and accumulation, while the reducing TME could significantly enhance the NIR absorption of SPB@POM for significant improvement of photoacoustic imaging contrast and photothermal therapy efficacy. Therefore, the smart pH/glutathione (GSH)-responsive SPB@POM allows for remarkable phototheranostic enhancement under the unique TME, which has potential for precise tumor-specific phototheranostics with minimal side effects.
肿瘤特异性光疗有助于实现精确的癌症治疗。在此,基于半导体聚合物刷和多金属氧酸盐簇(SPB@POM)的组合,合理设计了一种新型的肿瘤微环境(TME)响应光疗范例。酸性 TME 可以驱动 SPB@POM 自组装成更大的聚集体,以增强肿瘤的保留和积累,而还原 TME 可以显著增强 SPB@POM 的近红外吸收,从而显著提高光声成像对比度和光热治疗效果。因此,智能 pH/谷胱甘肽(GSH)响应的 SPB@POM 在独特的 TME 下允许显著的光疗增强,具有最小副作用的精确肿瘤特异性光疗的潜力。
