Photothermal therapy is a promising approach for cancer treatment. In our study, we investigate the photothermal effect of different concentrations of the Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles on apoptosis and proliferation in the human epithelial ovarian cancer cells SKOV3. Ovarian cancer cells SKOV3 were treated with the Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles under an 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation at different concentrations. The cell proliferation was measured by the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The results show that the Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles with NIR laser irradiation could markedly inhibit the proliferation of the ovarian cancer cells SKOV3 independent of a concentration-time manner. Meanwhile, the cell morphology was also seriously damaged under the treatment of high-concentration nanoparticles. However, Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles have almost no obvious effect on the growth of SKOV3 cells without NIR laser illumination treatment. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that the Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles have promising applications in photothermal treatment of cancer cells.

Abstract Background New nanophotosensitizers for photothermal cancer therapy (PTT) are still sought. In this paper we propose fancy shaped, non agglomerated core/shell PtAu NRs nanoraspberries (PtAu NRs) as potential nanophotosensitizers in PTT. Results Light microscopy images of two colon cancer cell lines (SW480, SW620) showed, that the laser irradiation combined with PtAu NRs caused visible changes in the cell morphology. Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies showed chemical changes in the DNA, phospholipids, lipids and protein structures caused by laser irradiation in the presence of PtAu NRs. The MTS assay showed ~ 25% mortality of cancer cells due to the addition of PtAu NRs to the cell culture, while for laser irradiation combined with nanoparticles, the mortality of cancer cells increased to 65% for the 650 nm laser and to 60% for the 808 nm laser. The calculated photothermal conversion efficiency reached 62% and 51% for the 650 nm and 808 nm lasers, respectively. Conclusions PtAu NRs could be applied as effective light-absorbers in the PTT anticancer therapy.

Development of stimuli-responsive supramolecular micelles that enable high levels of well-controlled drug release in cancer cells remains a grand challenge. Here, we encapsulated the antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) and pro-photosensitizer 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) within adenine-functionalized supramolecular micelles (A-PPG), in order to achieve effective drug delivery combined with photo-chemotherapy. The resulting DOX/5-ALA-loaded micelles exhibited excellent light and pH-responsive behavior in aqueous solution and high drug-entrapment stability in serum-rich media. A short duration (1–2 min) of laser irradiation with visible light induced the dissociation of the DOX/5-ALA complexes within the micelles, which disrupted micellular stability and resulted in rapid, immediate release of the physically entrapped drug from the micelles. In addition, in vitro assays of cellular reactive oxygen species generation and cellular internalization confirmed the drug-loaded micelles exhibited significantly enhanced cellular uptake after visible light irradiation, and that the light-triggered disassembly of micellar structures rapidly increased the production of reactive oxygen species within the cells. Importantly, flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that laser irradiation of cancer cells incubated with DOX/5-ALA-loaded A-PPG micelles effectively induced apoptotic cell death via endocytosis. Thus, this newly developed supramolecular system may offer a potential route towards improving the efficacy of synergistic chemotherapeutic approaches for cancer.
