Phototherapy, particularly photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has been widely investigated for tumor treatment. However, the limited tissue penetration depth of light in the near-infrared I (NIR-I) region and the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) severely constrain their clinical applications. To address these challenges, in the present study, we developed a chlorin e6 (Ce6) and MnO-coloaded, hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) nanohybrid (HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs) for PDT and PTT combination therapy of tumor. HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs responded to the mild acidic TME to ameliorate tumor hypoxia, thus enhancing tumor PDT. Moreover, HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs had a high photothermal conversion efficiency at 1064 nm (55.48%), which enabled deep tissue penetration (3.05 cm) and allowed for highly efficient tumor PTT in near-infrared II (NIR-II) window. PDT and PTT combination therapy with HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs achieved a good therapeutic efficacy on 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, eradicating the primary tumors and suppressing cancer recurrence. Our study provides a promising strategy for developing a hypoxia relief and deep tissue penetration phototherapy platform by using SWNHs for highly effective tumor PDT and NIR-II PTT combination therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) and the limited penetration of the NIR-I light in biological tissues compromise the efficacy of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) on tumors. Here, we developed a chlorin e6 (Ce6) and MnO-coloaded, hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) nanohybrid (HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs) for PDT and PTT combination therapy of tumors. The nanohybrid could efficiently accumulate in tumors through CD44-mediated active targeting. The sequential MnO-enhanced PDT and efficient NIR-II PTT had a remarkable therapeutic effect by eliminating the primary tumor and simultaneously inhibiting tumor recurrence.
光疗,特别是光热疗法(PTT)和光动力疗法(PDT),已被广泛研究用于肿瘤治疗。然而,光在近红外 I(NIR-I)区域的组织穿透深度有限以及缺氧的肿瘤微环境(TME)严重限制了它们的临床应用。为了解决这些挑战,在本研究中,我们开发了一种载有氯己定(Ce6)和 MnO 的、透明质酸(HA)包覆的单壁碳纳米角(SWNHs)纳米杂化物(HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs),用于肿瘤的 PDT 和 PTT 联合治疗。HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs 响应温和的酸性 TME 以改善肿瘤缺氧,从而增强肿瘤 PDT。此外,HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs 在 1064nm 处具有高的光热转换效率(55.48%),能够实现深层组织穿透(3.05cm),并允许在近红外 II(NIR-II)窗口中进行高效的肿瘤 PTT。HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs 的 PDT 和 PTT 联合治疗对 4T1 荷瘤小鼠实现了良好的治疗效果,根除了原发性肿瘤并抑制了癌症复发。我们的研究为开发一种通过 SWNHs 缓解缺氧和实现深层组织穿透的光疗平台提供了一种有前途的策略,用于高效的肿瘤 PDT 和 NIR-II PTT 联合治疗。
意义声明:缺氧的肿瘤微环境(TME)和生物组织中近红外 I(NIR-I)光的有限穿透性,降低了光热疗法(PTT)和光动力疗法(PDT)对肿瘤的疗效。在这里,我们开发了一种载有氯己定(Ce6)和 MnO 的、透明质酸(HA)包覆的单壁碳纳米角(SWNHs)纳米杂化物(HA-Ce6-MnO@SWNHs),用于肿瘤的 PDT 和 PTT 联合治疗。纳米杂化物可以通过 CD44 介导的主动靶向有效地在肿瘤中积累。顺序的 MnO 增强 PDT 和高效的 NIR-II PTT 通过消除原发性肿瘤并同时抑制肿瘤复发,产生了显著的治疗效果。
