Near-infrared-II (NIR-II) cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) has become more and more attractive as the NIR-II light shows a higher tissue penetrating depth, which leads to better anti-cancer effects. Recently, the members of the MXene family have been reported as NIR-II photothermal agents, possessing a high specific surface area and a fascinating light-to-heat conversion rate at the same time. Herein, we reported a combination of NIR-II photothermal therapy and immune therapy based on the MXene family member niobium carbide (NbC). First, NbC nanosheets (NSs) under 50 nm were prepared. They showed a high photothermal conversion efficiency under a 1064-nm laser, and the NIR-II light showed a deeper tissue penetration depth. Then, a nanoplatform with high R837 stability and a high loading rate was obtained after modification with a polydopamine (PDA) layer on the surface of NbC. With the R837 modification, the percentage of mature dendritic cells (DCs) increased and the immune response enhanced, compared with the immune response caused by PTT only. Finally, a red blood cell (RBC) membrane was applied as a coat over the nanoplatform in order to avoid excessive blood clearance. During experiments, blood circulation of NbC@PDA-R837@RBC nanoparticles (NPs) was prolonged, and all primary tumors were eliminated. Secondary tumors were also inhibited effectively due to the strengthened immune response, proving that NbC@PDA-R837@RBC NPs could inhibit tumor recurrence. All the results above indicated NbC@PDA-R837@RBC NPs as a potential RBC camouflaged nanoplatform for the combination of effective PTT and immune therapy towards tumor treatment.
近红外二区(NIR-II)光热治疗(PTT)因其近红外二区光具有更高的组织穿透深度,从而带来更好的抗癌效果而变得越来越有吸引力。最近,MXene 家族成员被报道为 NIR-II 光热剂,同时具有高比表面积和令人着迷的光热转换率。在此,我们报道了基于 MXene 家族成员碳化铌(NbC)的 NIR-II 光热治疗和免疫治疗的联合。首先,制备了小于 50nm 的 NbC 纳米片(NSs)。它们在 1064nm 激光下表现出高的光热转换效率,并且近红外二区光具有更深的组织穿透深度。然后,通过在 NbC 表面修饰聚多巴胺(PDA)层,得到了具有高 R837 稳定性和高载药量的纳米平台。与仅 PTT 引起的免疫反应相比,用 R837 修饰后,成熟树突状细胞(DCs)的比例增加,免疫反应增强。最后,在纳米平台上应用红细胞(RBC)膜作为涂层,以避免过度的血液清除。在实验中,NbC@PDA-R837@RBC 纳米颗粒(NPs)的血液循环时间延长,所有原发性肿瘤均被消除。由于免疫反应增强,继发性肿瘤也得到了有效抑制,证明了 NbC@PDA-R837@RBC NPs 能够抑制肿瘤复发。所有这些结果表明,NbC@PDA-R837@RBC NPs 作为一种潜在的 RBC 伪装纳米平台,可将有效的 PTT 和免疫治疗联合用于肿瘤治疗。
