Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT), a safe and non-invasive strategy in tumor therapy, is in development using novel sono-sensitizers, activated by low-intensity ultrasound radiation. SDT mainly progresses through Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation followed by cell annihilation.
The current study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound therapy with titania/gold nanoparticles (NPs) on melanoma cancer.
In this experimental study, Titania/gold NPs (TGNPs) were synthesized, and their activity was investigated in sonodynamic therapy of a melanoma cancer cell line (C540). SDT was performed at 1.0 W cm and 1.0 MHz for one minute.
The synthesized NPs that comprised gold NPs of <10 nm into titania NPs of <20 nm showed great stability and cytocompatibility. While TGNPs were biocompatible, a remarkable rate of cell ablation was observed upon ultrasound irradiation due to ROS generation.
The SDT using TGNPs can be introduced as an alternative and low-cost treatment method for melanoma malignancy.
声动力疗法（SDT）是一种肿瘤治疗中的安全无创策略，目前正在利用新型声敏剂进行研发，这些声敏剂由低强度超声辐射激活。SDT主要通过产生活性氧（ROS）进而导致细胞凋亡来发挥作用。
本研究旨在探究二氧化钛/金纳米颗粒（NPs）超声治疗对黑色素瘤的影响。
在本实验研究中，合成了二氧化钛/金纳米颗粒（TGNPs），并在黑色素瘤细胞系（C540）的声动力治疗中研究了它们的活性。SDT在1.0W/cm和1.0MHz条件下进行1分钟。
合成的纳米颗粒由小于10nm的金纳米颗粒和小于20nm的二氧化钛纳米颗粒组成，具有良好的稳定性和细胞相容性。虽然TGNPs具有生物相容性，但超声照射后由于ROS的产生，观察到显著的细胞消融率。
使用TGNPs的SDT可作为黑色素瘤恶性肿瘤的一种替代且低成本的治疗方法。
