Photothermal activity of SPIONs is not dependent on the excitation wavelength, attenuation or laser intensity but to the power.

Aim: We aim to demonstrate that a local nanoparticle-mediated hyperthermia can effectively eliminate tumor-associated Tregs and thereby boost checkpoint blockade-based immunotherapy. Materials & methods: Photothermal therapy (PTT), mediated with systemically administered stealthy iron-oxide nanoparticles, was applied to treat BALB/c mice bearing 4T1 murine breast tumors. Flow cytometry was applied to evaluate both Treg and CD8+ T-cell population. Tumor growth following combination therapy of both PTT and anti-CTLA-4 was further evaluated. Results: Our data reveal that tumor-associated Tregs can be preferentially depleted via iron-oxide nanoparticles-mediated PTT. When combining PTT with anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapy, we demonstrate a significant inhibition of syngeneic 4T1 tumor growth. Conclusion: This study offers a novel strategy to overcome Treg-mediated immunosuppression and thereby to boost cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract The synthesis, characterization, and applications of iron oxide nanorods have received attention in recent years. Even though there are several studies on the biological applications of iron oxide nanoparticles, recent studies have shown that rod-shaped iron oxides are effective in magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) as therapeutic technique to treat cancer. This review focused on the synthesis and encapsulation of magnetic iron oxide nanorods (MIONRs) and their use in (MHT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer cells. Among the synthetic methods that have been used to prepare MIONRs, some could be used to precisely control the particle size of the as-prepared magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs), while others could be used to prepare monodisperse particles with uniform size distributions. Some of the results presented in this review showed that magnetic oxide nanorods are more potent in MHT than polyhedral-shaped MIONs. The review shows that mixtures of polyhedral- and rod-shaped MIONs resulted in 59 and 77% cell death, while monodisperse MIONRs resulted in 95% cell death. It could thus be concluded that, for magnetic iron oxide to be effective in MHT and PTT, it is important to prepare monodisperse magnetic oxide nanorods.
