Abstract BackgroundNear-infrared II (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) fluorescence bioimaging with advantages of good biosafety, excellent spatial resolution, high sensitivity and contrast, has attracted great attentions in biomedical research fields. However, most nanoprobes used for NIR-II fluorescence imaging have poor tumor-targeting ability and therapeutic efficiency. To overcome these limitations, a novel NIR-II-emissive theranostic nanoplatform for imaging and treatment of cervical cancer was designed and prepared. The NIR-II-emissive dye IR-783 and chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) were encapsulated into liposomes, and the tumor-targeting peptide TMTP1 was conjugated to the surface of the liposomes to form IR-783-DOX-TMTP1 nanoparticles (NPs) via self-assembly methods.ResultsThe IR-783-DOX-TMTP1 NPs showed strong NIR-II emission, excellent biocompatibility, a long lifetime, and low toxicity. Further, high-definition NIR-II fluorescence microscopy images of ear blood vessels and intratumor blood vessels were obtained from IR-783-DOX-TMTP1 NPs-stained mice with high spatial resolution under 808 nm laser excitation. Moreover, IR-783-DOX-TMTP1 NPs showed strong tumor targeting ability and high efficiently chemotherapeutic character towards cervical tumors. ConclusionsThe novel targeting and NIR-II-emissive IR-783-DOX-TMTP1 NPs have potential in diagnosis and therapy for cervical cancer.
