The development of nanoplatforms with integrated therapeutic and imaging functions is necessary for highly efficient cancer therapy. Herein, 3D CuS hollow nanoflowers (HNs) consisting of 2D nanoplates are successfully fabricated through the technique of laser ablation in liquids followed by ion-exchange reactions and applied for the first time as a theranostic nanoagent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photothermal therapy (PTT), and chemotherapy simultaneously. Due to the sufficient and immediate contact between the exposed cupric centers of nanoplates and protons from water molecules, CuS HNs are demonstrated to be capable of being a T1 positive contrast agent for efficient MRI of tumors on the T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging (T2-FLAIR) sequence. Besides, the hollow structure makes CuS HNs an efficient nanoplatform for drug loading with a laser-triggered drug release. Moreover, CuS HNs exhibit high photothermal conversion efficiency (30%) and good biocompatibility. The combination of PTT and chemotherapy with CuS HNs provides a significant synergistic therapeutic effect, resulting in a higher tumor inhibition ratio than PTT or chemotherapy alone. This study demonstrates a single-component multifunctional theranostic nanoagent for T2-FLAIR MRI guided thermochemotherapy, which has great potential application in theranostics of cancer.
为了实现高效的癌症治疗,开发具有集成治疗和成像功能的纳米平台是必要的。在此,通过液体中的激光烧蚀技术,随后进行离子交换反应,成功制备了由二维纳米板组成的 3D CuS 空心纳米花(HNs),并首次将其用作磁共振成像(MRI)、光热治疗(PTT)和化疗的治疗一体化纳米制剂。由于纳米板暴露的铜中心与水分子中的质子之间有足够和即时的接触,CuS HNs 被证明能够成为 T2 加权液体衰减反转恢复成像(T2-FLAIR)序列中肿瘤高效 MRI 的 T1 阳性造影剂。此外,空心结构使 CuS HNs 成为一种高效的载药纳米平台,具有激光触发的药物释放。此外,CuS HNs 还表现出高的光热转换效率(30%)和良好的生物相容性。CuS HNs 的 PTT 和化疗联合治疗提供了显著的协同治疗效果,导致肿瘤抑制率高于单独的 PTT 或化疗。本研究展示了一种用于 T2-FLAIR MRI 引导热化疗的单组分多功能治疗一体化纳米制剂,在癌症治疗学中有很大的应用潜力。
