Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been a well-accepted clinical treatment for malignant tumors owing to its noninvasiveness and high spatiotemporal selectivity. However, the efficiency of PDT is still severely hindered by an inherent aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of traditional photosensitizers (PSs), the presence of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), an antiapoptosis protein in cells, and hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment. To address these issues, hybrid nanospheres containing Fe, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) PS, and Bcl-2 inhibitor of sabutoclax were constructed coordination-driven self-assembly in aqueous media. Once the hybrid nanospheres are taken up by tumor cells, intracellular O concentration is observed to increase Fenton reaction driven by Fe, whereas intracellular PDT resistance of the AIE PS was mitigated by sabutoclax. The design of the multifunctional hybrid nanospheres demonstrates a prospective nanoplatform for image-guided enhanced PDT of tumors.
光动力疗法(PDT)由于其非侵入性和高时空选择性,已成为恶性肿瘤的一种公认的临床治疗方法。然而,传统光敏剂(PSs)固有的聚集诱导猝灭(ACQ)效应、细胞中抗凋亡蛋白 B 细胞淋巴瘤 2(Bcl-2)以及肿瘤微环境中的缺氧,严重限制了 PDT 的效率。为了解决这些问题,构建了含有 Fe、聚集诱导发射(AIE)PS 和 Bcl-2 抑制剂沙妥昔布的混合纳米球,在水相介质中通过配位驱动自组装。一旦混合纳米球被肿瘤细胞摄取,就会观察到细胞内 O 浓度增加,从而 由 Fe 驱动的 Fenton 反应,而 AIE PS 的细胞内 PDT 抗性则被沙妥昔布减轻。多功能混合纳米球的设计展示了一种用于肿瘤图像引导增强 PDT 的有前景的纳米平台。
