Cancer imaging and therapy in the second near-infrared (NIR II) window have gained increasing interest owing to the high light penetration depth and minimal optical scattering in the NIR II region (1000-1350 nm). Meanwhile, integrating multiple diagnostic and therapeutic functions into one simple nanoparticle system is of vital significance for cancer theranostics. Herein, we prepare worm-like platinum (Pt) nanoparticles (Pt nanoworms) in a facile way. The Pt nanoworms with surface modification show long blood circulation, high tumor accumulation, and negligible toxicity. With high optical absorption in the NIR II region and strong X-ray attenuation abilities, the Pt nanoworms serve as a good photoacoustic agent and CT contrast agent. Meanwhile, the tumor growth is completely inhibited by using mild photothermal therapy and radiotherapy due to the photothermally improved hypoxia and Pt increased X-ray absorption. Therefore, our work presents a biocompatible platinum nanoparticle system that is promising in image-guided tumor therapy.
由于近红外二区(NIR II,1000 - 1350 nm)具有高光穿透深度和最小光散射,癌症在近红外二区的成像与治疗已引起越来越多的关注。同时,将多种诊断和治疗功能集成到一个简单的纳米颗粒系统中对癌症诊疗具有至关重要的意义。在此,我们以简便的方式制备了蠕虫状铂(Pt)纳米颗粒(Pt纳米蠕虫)。经表面修饰的Pt纳米蠕虫具有长血液循环时间、高肿瘤蓄积性和可忽略的毒性。由于在近红外二区具有高光学吸收和强X射线衰减能力,Pt纳米蠕虫可作为良好的光声剂和CT造影剂。同时,由于光热改善缺氧和Pt增加X射线吸收,通过温和的光热疗法和放射疗法可完全抑制肿瘤生长。因此,我们的工作展示了一种在图像引导肿瘤治疗中具有前景的生物相容性铂纳米颗粒系统。
