We report, for the first time, crosslinked polymeric microneedle (MN) arrays and single needles (2 mm and 4.5 mm length) coated with gold nanorods (GnRs) to induce deep hyperthermia in a 3 mm-thickness skin model upon near infrared (NIR) laser irradiation.

One of the limitations associated with cancer treatment is low efficacy and high dose-related side effects of anticancer drugs. The purpose of the current study was to fabricate biocompatible multifunctional drug loaded nano-moieties for co-therapy (chemo-photothermal therapy) with maximum efficiency and minimum side effects. Herein, we report in vitro anticancerous effects of doxorubicin (DOX) loaded on polyelectrolyte-poly (sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) coated Gold nanorods (PSS-GNRs) with and without NIR laser (808 nm, power density = 1.5 W/cm2 for 2 min) exposure. Drug loading capacity of PSS-GNRs was about 76% with drug loading content of 3.2 mg DOX/mL. Cumulative DOX release significantly increased after laser exposure (1.5 W/cm2) compared to non-irradiated samples (p<0.05). Zeta potential of GNRs, PSS-GNRs and DOX-PSS-GNRs was recorded as +42 ±0.1 mV, – 40 ±0.3 mV and 39.3 ±0.6 mV, respectively. PSS-GNRs nano-complexes were found biocompatible and showed higher photothermal stability. DOX conjugated nano-complexes with NIR laser irradiation appear more efficient in cell inhibition (93%) than without laser exposure (65%) and doxorubicin alone (84%). The IC50 of PSS-GNRs-DOX and PSS-GNRs-DOX was recorded as 7.99 ±0.0032 and 3.12 ±0.0906 µg/mL with laser irradiation. Thus, a combinatorial approach based on chemo and photothermal strategy appears to be a promising platform in cancer management.

The DOX-conjugated nanocomplexes with NIR laser irradiation appear more efficient in cell inhibition (93%) than those without laser exposure (65%) and doxorubicin alone (84%). The IC50 values of PSS-GNRs-DOX and PSS-GNRs-DOX were measured as 7.99 and 3.12 µg/mL, respectively, with laser irradiation.

AuNRs coated with ultra-thick SiO2 shells exhibited ultra-high thermal stability (800 °C), excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (70%) and outstanding loading capacity. The drug release could be nicely controlled by acidity and NIR laser to achieve the “On-demand” mode.

Artificial tissue materials usually suffer properties and structure loss over time. As a usual strategy, a new substitution is required to replace the worn one to maintain the functions. Although several approaches have been developed to restore the mechanical properties of hydrogels, they require direct heating or touching, which cannot be processed within the body. In this manuscript, a photothermal method was developed to restore the mechanical properties of the tough hydrogels by using near infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. By adding the porphyrin decorated graphene oxide (PGO) as the nanoreinforcer and photothermal agent into carrageenan/polyacrylamide double network hydrogels (PDN), the compressive strength of the PDN was greatly improved by 104%. Under a short time of NIR laser irradiation, the PGO effectively converts light energy to thermal energy to heat the PDN hydrogels. The damaged carrageenan network was rebuilt, and a 90% compressive strength recovery was achieved. The PGO not only significantly improves the mechanical performance of PDN, but also restores the compressive property of PDN via a photothermal method. These tough hydrogels with superior photothermal recovery may work as promising substitutes for load-bearing tissues.
