With its insidious onset and atypical early symptoms, hepatic carcinoma is one of the most common and malignant tumors in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to actively pursue efficient diagnostic and treatment modalities for this malignancy. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a non-invasive treatment technique that can generate high temperatures locally to induce tumor cell death, but its effectiveness is limited by the tissue-penetration depth of infrared light. Enzyme-catalyzed therapy promotes the production of toxic hydroxyl groups (˙OH) from hydrogen peroxide in tumor cells , but its efficacy is also affected by the catalytic efficiency of ˙OH. Thus, given the complexity of tumors, multimodal therapy is critical for cancer treatment. Herein, we report a novel biomimetic nanoparticle (NP) platform (ZnMnFeO-PEG-FA) that enables combined PTT and nanozyme-catalyzed therapy. Due to the excellent photothermal effect of ZnMnFeO-PEG-FA, these NPs can reach an ideal temperature and damage tumor cells under lower near-infrared laser power irradiation, while exhibiting enhanced catalytic ability, largely alleviating the limitations of conventional PTT and catalytic therapy. Hence, the combination of these two treatments can provide significantly greater cytotoxicity. Additionally, ZnMnFeO-PEG-FA NPs have excellent photoacoustic imaging and magnetic resonance imaging capabilities, which enable monitoring and can guide cancer treatment. Therefore, ZnMnFeO-PEG-FA NPs integrate the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Hence, this study provides a potential model of combined cancer diagnosis and treatment, which could be applied as a multimodal antitumor strategy in clinical settings in the future.
肝癌具有隐匿性发病和非典型早期症状,是全球最常见和最恶性的肿瘤之一。因此,积极寻求针对这种恶性肿瘤的有效诊断和治疗方法非常必要。光热疗法(PTT)是一种非侵入性治疗技术,可以在局部产生高温以诱导肿瘤细胞死亡,但它的效果受到红外光的组织穿透深度的限制。酶催化疗法可以促进肿瘤细胞内过氧化氢产生有毒的羟基自由基(˙OH),但其疗效也受到 ˙OH 催化效率的影响。因此,鉴于肿瘤的复杂性,多模态治疗对于癌症治疗至关重要。在此,我们报告了一种新型仿生纳米颗粒(NP)平台(ZnMnFeO-PEG-FA),它可以实现联合光热治疗和纳米酶催化治疗。由于 ZnMnFeO-PEG-FA 具有优异的光热效应,这些 NPs 在较低的近红外激光功率照射下即可达到理想的温度并破坏肿瘤细胞,同时表现出增强的催化能力,在很大程度上缓解了传统 PTT 和催化治疗的局限性。因此,这两种治疗方法的联合可以提供更大的细胞毒性。此外,ZnMnFeO-PEG-FA NPs 具有优异的光声成像和磁共振成像能力,能够进行监测并指导癌症治疗。因此,ZnMnFeO-PEG-FA NPs 集成了肿瘤的诊断和治疗。因此,本研究提供了一种联合癌症诊断和治疗的潜在模型,将来可能作为一种多模态抗肿瘤策略应用于临床。
