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.

Nanocarriers with integrated advantage, such as excellent stealth property, active targeting function, and rapid intracellular drug release, are significant for cancer treatment. Herein, a biodegradable zwitterionic triblock copolymer containing disulfide-linked poly-ε-caprolactone and polycarboxybetaine methacrylate (PCB-SS-PCL-SS-PCB) was first synthesized and then partly modified with galactosamine (GAL) for constructing polymeric micelle drug carrier with multifunctionality. Polymeric micelles showed ultralow protein absorption in serum and obvious reduction-responsiveness in the presence of glutathione, provided by the zwitterionic polymer shell and the disulfide bond, respectively. Furthermore, active targeting of the carrier to hepatic carcinoma cells was achieved via GAL ligands on PCB shells due to their specific binding to asialoglycoprotein receptors on the cell surface. As expected, in vivo competition studies demonstrated that doxorubicin- (DOX-) loaded GAL-modified micelles have better anticancer effect in hepatic tumor-bearing mice than free DOX and nontargetable micelles. As a result, this novel multifunctional carrier provides a valuable strategy to design promising anticancer drug delivery systems for liver cancer treatment.
