Hepatic cancer is a serious disease with high morbidity and mortality. Theranostic agents with effective diagnostic and therapeutic capability are highly needed for the treatment of hepatic cancer. Herein, we aimed to develop a novel mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA)-based theranostic agent for T1/T2 dual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided cancer chemo-photothermal therapy. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-loaded MPDA NPs (MPDA@SPIO) was firstly prepared, followed by modifying with a targeted molecule of sialic acid (SA) and chelating with Fe (SA-MPDA@SPIO/Fe NPs). After that, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded SA-MPDA@SPIO/Fe NPs (SA-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe) was prepared for tumor theranostics. The prepared SAPEG-MPDA@SPIO/Fe NPs were water-dispersible and biocompatible as evidenced by MTT assay. photothermal and relaxivity property suggested that the novel theranostic agent possessed excellent photothermal conversion capability and photostability, with relaxivity of being r = 4.29 mMs and r = 105.53 mMs, respectively. SAPEG-MPDA@SPIO/Fe NPs could effectively encapsulate the DOX, showing dual pH- and thermal-triggered drug release behavior. and studies revealed that SA-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe NPs could effectively target to the hepatic tumor tissue, which was possibly due to the specific interaction between SA and the overexpressed E-selectin. This behavior also endowed SA-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe NPs with a more precise T1-T2 dual mode contrast imaging effect than the one without SA modification. In addition, SAPEG-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe NPs displayed a superior therapeutic effect, which was due to its active targeting ability and combined effects of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. These results demonstrated that SAPEG-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe NPs is an effective targeted nanoplatform for tumor theranostics, having potential value in the effective treatment of hepatic cancer.
肝癌是一种发病率和死亡率都很高的严重疾病。治疗肝癌非常需要具有有效诊断和治疗能力的诊疗试剂。在此,我们旨在开发一种基于新型介孔聚多巴胺(MPDA)的诊疗试剂,用于T1/T2双磁共振成像(MRI)引导的癌症化学-光热治疗。首先制备了负载超顺磁性氧化铁(SPIO)的MPDA纳米粒子(MPDA@SPIO),然后用唾液酸(SA)靶向分子进行修饰并与铁螯合(SA-MPDA@SPIO/Fe纳米粒子)。之后,制备了负载阿霉素(DOX)的SA-MPDA@SPIO/Fe纳米粒子(SA-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe)用于肿瘤诊疗。MTT试验证明,所制备的SA-MPDA@SPIO/Fe纳米粒子具有水分散性和生物相容性。光热和弛豫特性表明,这种新型诊疗试剂具有优异的光热转换能力和光稳定性,弛豫率分别为r = 4.29 mM/s和r = 105.53 mM/s。SA-MPDA@SPIO/Fe纳米粒子能够有效地包封DOX,呈现出双pH和热触发药物释放行为。体外和体内研究表明,SA-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe纳米粒子能够有效地靶向肝肿瘤组织,这可能是由于SA与过表达的E-选择素之间的特异性相互作用。这种行为还赋予了SA-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe纳米粒子比未修饰SA的纳米粒子更精确的T1-T2双模对比成像效果。此外,SA-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe纳米粒子显示出优异的治疗效果,这归因于其主动靶向能力以及化疗和光热治疗的联合作用。这些结果表明,SA-MPDA@SPIO/DOX/Fe纳米粒子是一种有效的肿瘤诊疗靶向纳米平台,在肝癌的有效治疗中具有潜在价值。
