AbstractTheranostics are a multifunctional approach using nanoparticles for combined diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The hybrid nanoparticles that are applied for these purposes are composed of an inorganic core and an organic shell. The inorganic core acts as a contrast enhancer and the organic shell acts as a drug releaser. Hybrid nanoparticles can be conjugated with targeting moieties and systematically administered to patients to direct the nanoparticles to specific cells such as cancer cells. Theranostics have the potential to significantly improve early stage cancer diagnostics and patient survival. This review discusses preclinical and clinical advances in applications of inorganic nanoparticles for the theranostics of cancer.

The co-delivery of chemotherapeutic agents and immune modulators to their targets remains to be a great challenge for nanocarriers. Here, we developed a hybrid thermosensitive nanoparticle (TMNP) which could co-deliver paclitaxel-loaded transferrin (PTX@TF) and marimastat-loaded thermosensitive liposomes (MMST/LTSLs) for the dual targeting of cancer cells and the microenvironment. TMNPs could rapidly release the two payloads triggered by the hyperthermia treatment at the site of tumor. The released PTX@TF entered cancer cells via transferrin-receptor-mediated endocytosis and inhibited the survival of tumor cells. MMST was intelligently employed as an immunomodulator to improve immunotherapy by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases to reduce chemokine degradation and recruit T cells. The TMNPs promoted the tumor infiltration of CD3+ T cells by 2-fold, including memory/effector CD8+ T cells (4.2-fold) and CD4+ (1.7-fold), but not regulatory T cells. Our in vivo anti-tumor experiment suggested that TMNPs possessed the highest tumor growth inhibitory rate (80.86%) compared with the control group. We demonstrated that the nanoplatform could effectively inhibit the growth of tumors and enhance T cell recruitment through the co-delivery of paclitaxel and marimastat, which could be a promising strategy for the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for cancer treatment.

Synthesized core–shell liposome–silica hybrid nanoparticles (LSH NPs), when loaded with the anti-cancer polyinosinic–polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)), exhibit high anti-tumoral activity in prostate and breast cancer cells.
