Phototherapy including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses photosensitizers and light to kill cancer cells and has become a promising therapeutic modality because of advantages such as minimal invasiveness and high cancer selectivity. However, PTT or PDT as a single treatment modality has insufficient therapeutic efficacy. Moreover, oxygen consumption by PDT activates angiogenic factors and leads to cancer recurrence and progression. Therefore, the therapeutic outcomes of phototherapy would be maximized by employing photosensitizers for concurrent PTT and PDT and suppressing angiogenic factors. Therefore, integrating photosensitive agents and antiangiogenic agents in a single nanoplatform would be a promising strategy to maximize the therapeutic efficacy of phototherapy. In this study, we developed hyaluronic acid-coated fluorescent boronated polysaccharide (HA-FBM) nanoparticles as a combination therapeutic agent for phototherapy and antiangiogenic therapy. Upon a single near-infrared laser irradiation, HA-FBM nanoparticles generated heat and singlet oxygen simultaneously to kill cancer cells and also induced immunogenic cancer cell death. Beside their fundamental roles as photosensitizers, HA-FBM nanoparticles exerted antiangiogenic effects by suppressing the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cancer cell migration. In a mouse xenograft model, intravenously injected HA-FBM nanoparticles targeted tumors by binding CD44-overexpressing cancer cells and suppressed angiogenic VEGF expression. Upon laser irradiation, HA-FBM nanoparticles remarkably eradicated tumors and increased anticancer immunity. Given their synergistic effects of phototherapy and antiangiogenic therapy from tumor-targeting HA-FBM nanoparticles, we believe that integrating the photosensitizers and antiangiogenic agents into a single nanoplatform presents an attractive strategy to maximize the anticancer therapeutic efficacy of phototherapy.
光疗包括光热疗法(PTT)和光动力疗法(PDT),利用光敏剂和光来杀死癌细胞,由于其微创和高肿瘤选择性等优点,已成为一种很有前途的治疗方式。然而,PTT 或 PDT 作为单一治疗方式的疗效不足。此外,PDT 对氧气的消耗会激活血管生成因子,导致癌症复发和进展。因此,通过使用光敏剂同时进行 PTT 和 PDT,并抑制血管生成因子,可以最大限度地提高光疗的治疗效果。因此,将光敏剂和抗血管生成剂整合到单个纳米平台中是最大限度提高光疗治疗效果的一种很有前途的策略。在这项研究中,我们开发了透明质酸包覆的荧光硼化多糖(HA-FBM)纳米粒子作为光疗和抗血管生成联合治疗的组合治疗剂。在单次近红外激光照射下,HA-FBM 纳米粒子同时产生热量和单线态氧来杀死癌细胞,并诱导免疫原性细胞死亡。除了作为光敏剂的基本作用外,HA-FBM 纳米粒子还通过抑制血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)和癌细胞迁移来发挥抗血管生成作用。在小鼠异种移植模型中,静脉注射的 HA-FBM 纳米粒子通过与过度表达 CD44 的癌细胞结合靶向肿瘤,并抑制血管生成 VEGF 的表达。在激光照射下,HA-FBM 纳米粒子显著地消灭了肿瘤并增强了抗癌免疫。鉴于肿瘤靶向的 HA-FBM 纳米粒子具有光疗和抗血管生成治疗的协同作用,我们相信将光敏剂和抗血管生成剂整合到单个纳米平台中是最大限度地提高光疗抗癌疗效的一种有吸引力的策略。
