Sequential Drug Release

The treatment difficulties of venous thrombosis include short half-life, low utilization, and poor penetration of drugs at thrombus site. Here, we develop one kind of mesoporous/macroporous silica/platinum nanomotors with platelet membrane (PM) modification (MMNM/PM) for sequentially targeting delivery of thrombolytic and anticoagulant drugs for thrombus treatment. Regulated by the special proteins on PM, the nanomotors target the thrombus site and then PM can be ruptured under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation to achieve desirable sequential drug release, including rapid release of thrombolytic urokinase (3 hours) and slow release of anticoagulant heparin (>20 days). Meantime, the motion ability of nanomotors under NIR irradiation can effectively promote them to penetrate deeply in thrombus site to enhance retention ratio. The in vitro and in vivo evaluation results confirm that the synergistic effect of targeting ability from PM and motion ability from nanomotors can notably enhance the thrombolysis effect in both static/dynamic thrombus and rat model.

Indocyanine green (ICG), a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has been extensively used as a photoacoustic (PA) probe for PA imaging. However, its practical application is limited by poor photostability in water, rapid body clearance, and non-specificity. Herein, we fabricated a novel biomimetic nanoprobe by coating ICG-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles with the cancer cell membrane (namely, CMI) for PA imaging. This probe exhibited good dispersion, large loading efficiency, good biocompatibility, and homologous targeting ability to Hela cells in vitro. Furthermore, the in vivo and ex vivo PA imaging on Hela tumor-bearing nude mice demonstrated that CMI could accumulate in tumor tissue and display a superior PA imaging efficacy compared with free ICG. All these results demonstrated that CMI might be a promising contrast agent for PA imaging of cervical carcinoma.

The combinational application of photothermal therapy (PTT), chemotherapy, and nanotechnology is a booming therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment. Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) is often utilized as drug carrier in biomedical fields with excellent photothermal properties, and indocyanine green (ICG) is a near-infrared (NIR) dye approved by FDA. In addition, ICG is also a photothermal agent that can strongly absorb light energy for tumor ablation. Herein, we explored a synergistic strategy by connecting MWNT and a kind of ICG derivate ICG-NH2 through hyaluronic acid (HA) that possesses CD44 receptor targeting ability, which largely enhanced the PTT effect of both MWNT and ICG-NH2. To realize the synergistic therapeutic effect of chemotherapy and phototherapy, doxorubicin (DOX) was attached on the wall of MWNT via π–π interaction to obtain the final MWNT-HA-ICG/DOX nanocomplexes. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments verified the great therapeutic efficacy of MWNT-HA-ICG/DOX nanocomplexes, which was characterized by improved photothermal performance, strengthened cytotoxicity, and elevated tumor growth inhibition based on MCF-7 tumor models. Therefore, this synergistic strategy we report here might offer a new idea with promising application prospect for cancer treatment.

Targeting Strategy

Nanoparticles (NPs) assisted photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising cancer treatment modality and has attracted the attention of the scientific mainstream. However, developing NPs that exhibit efficient optical properties and specific tumor targeting capability simultaneously is difficult. Herein, we develop hybrid nanovesicles consisting of tumor cell-derived exosomes (EXO) and organic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) nanoparticles (TT3-oCB NP@EXOs) with enhanced second near-infrared (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) fluorescence property and PTT functionality. Compared with TT3-oCB NPs, TT3-oCB NP@EXOs exhibit excellent biocompatibility, specific targeting ability in vitro, homing to homologous tumors in vivo, and prolonged circulation time. Furthermore, TT3-oCB NP@EXOs were utilized as biomimetic NPs for NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT of tumors, due to their high and stable photothermal conversion capacity under 808 nm irradiation. Therefore, the tumor cell-derived EXO/AIE NP hybrid nanovesicles may provide an alternative artificial targeting strategy for improving tumor diagnosis and PTT.
