Phototherapy has been intensively investigated as a non-invasive cancer treatment option. However, its clinical translation is still impeded by unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy and severe phototoxicity. To achieve high therapeutic efficiency and high security, a nanoassembly of Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) photosensitizer pairs is developed on basis of dual-mode photosensitizer co-loading and photocaging strategy. For proof-of-concept, an erythrocyte-camouflaged FRET pair co-assembly of chlorine e6 (Ce6, FRET donor) and 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR, FRET acceptor) is investigated for breast cancer treatment. Notably, Ce6 in the nanoassemby is quenched by DiR and could be unlocked for photodynamic therapy (PDT) only when DiR is photobleached by 808-nm laser. As a result, Ce6-caused phototoxicity could be well controlled. Under cascaded laser irradiation (808-660 nm), tumor-localizing temperature rise following laser irradiation on DiR not only induces tumor cell apoptosis but also facilitates the tumor penetration of NPs, relieves tumor hypoxia, and promotes the PDT efficacy of Ce6. Such FRET pair-based nanoassembly provides a new strategy for developing multimodal phototherapy nanomedicines with high efficiency and good security.
光疗法作为一种非侵入性癌症治疗选择已得到深入研究。然而,其临床转化仍受到治疗效果不理想和严重光毒性的阻碍。为了实现高治疗效率和高安全性,基于双模光敏剂共负载和光笼策略开发了一种福斯特共振能量转移(FRET)光敏剂对的纳米组装体。为了进行概念验证,研究了一种红细胞伪装的氯e6(Ce6,FRET供体)和1,1'-二辛基-3,3,3',3'-四甲基吲哚三碳菁碘化物(DiR,FRET受体)的FRET对共组装体用于乳腺癌治疗。值得注意的是,纳米组装体中的Ce6被DiR淬灭,只有当DiR被808 nm激光光漂白时,Ce6才能被解锁用于光动力疗法(PDT)。因此,Ce6引起的光毒性可以得到很好的控制。在级联激光照射(808 - 660 nm)下,对DiR进行激光照射后肿瘤部位的温度升高不仅诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡,还促进纳米颗粒的肿瘤穿透,缓解肿瘤缺氧,并提高Ce6的PDT疗效。这种基于FRET对的纳米组装体为开发高效且安全性良好的多模态光疗纳米药物提供了一种新策略。
