Developing smart photosensitizers that are sensitive to tumor-specific signals for minimal side effects and enhanced antitumor efficacy is a tremendous challenge for tumor phototherapies. Herein, we construct a nanoplatform with glutathione (GSH)-activatable and mitochondria-targeted pro-photosensitizer encapsulated by ultrasensitive pH-responsive polymer for achieving imaging-guided tumor-specific photodynamic therapy (PDT). The GSH-activatable pro-photosensitizer, di-cyanine (DCy7), has been synthesized where two cyanine moieties are covalently conjugated by a disulfide bond, and the hydrophobic DCy7 is further encapsulated with an amphiphilic pH-responsive diblock copolymer POEGMA--PDPA to form P@DCy7 nanoparticles. Upon endocytosis by cancer cells, P@DCy7 nanoparticles dissociate at endosome first and then DCy7 is released to cytoplasm and subsequently activated by the high concentration of GSH, finally targets mitochondria for organelle-targeted PDT. Moreover, intracellular antioxidant GSH is consumed during the activation procedure that is beneficial to efficient PDT. These P@DCy7 nanoparticles display selective phototoxicity against tumor cells (HepG2 or 4T1 cells) over normal cells (BEAS-2B cells) in vitro, and their GSH-activatable enhanced PDT efficacy is further confirmed in tumor-bearing mice. Thus, P@DCy7 nanoparticles allow for accurate and highly efficient PDT with minimal side effects, providing an attractive nanoplatform for organelle-targeted precise PDT.
开发对肿瘤特异性信号敏感的智能光动力治疗剂,以实现最小的副作用和增强的抗肿瘤疗效,是肿瘤光疗的巨大挑战。在此,我们构建了一种纳米平台,该平台具有谷胱甘肽(GSH)激活和靶向线粒体的前光动力治疗剂,由超灵敏 pH 响应聚合物封装,用于实现成像引导的肿瘤特异性光动力治疗(PDT)。GSH 激活的前光动力治疗剂二氰基(DCy7)已被合成,其中两个氰基部分通过二硫键共价连接,疏水性的 DCy7 进一步用两亲 pH 响应嵌段共聚物 POEGMA-PDPA 封装,形成 P@DCy7 纳米颗粒。在被癌细胞内吞后,P@DCy7 纳米颗粒首先在内涵体中解离,然后 DCy7 被释放到细胞质中,并随后被高浓度 GSH 激活,最终靶向线粒体进行细胞器靶向 PDT。此外,在激活过程中,细胞内抗氧化剂 GSH 被消耗,这有利于有效的 PDT。这些 P@DCy7 纳米颗粒在体外对肿瘤细胞(HepG2 或 4T1 细胞)表现出选择性光毒性,而对正常细胞(BEAS-2B 细胞)没有毒性,在荷瘤小鼠中进一步证实了其 GSH 激活增强的 PDT 疗效。因此,P@DCy7 纳米颗粒允许进行准确且高效的 PDT,副作用最小,为细胞器靶向精确 PDT 提供了有吸引力的纳米平台。
