Trisulfide Bond-Mediated Molecular Phototheranostic Platform for "Activatable" NIR-II Imaging-Guided Enhanced Gas/Chemo-Hypothermal Photothermal Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Tumor microenvironment (TME)-triggered phototheranostic platform offers a feasible strategy to improve cancer diagnosis accuracy and minimize treatment side effects. Developing a stable and biocompatible molecular phototheranostic platform for TME-activated second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging-guided multimodal cascade therapy is a promising strategy for creating desirable anticancer agents. Herein, a new NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided activatable molecular phototheranostic platform (IR-FEP-RGD-S-S-S-Fc) is presented for actively targeted tumor imaging and hydrogen sulfide (H₂ S) gas-enhanced chemodynamic-hypothermal photothermal combined therapy (CDT/HPTT). It is revealed for the first time that the coupling distance between IR-FE and ferrocene is proportional to the photoinduced electron transfer (PET), and the aqueous environment is favorable for PET generation. The part of Cyclic-RGDfK (cRGDfk) peptides can target the tumor and benefit the endocytosis of nanoparticles. The high-concentration glutathione (GSH) in the TME will separate the fluorescence molecule and ferrocene by the GSH-sensitive trisulfide bond, realizing light-up NIR-II fluorescence imaging and a cascade of trimodal synergistic CDT/HPTT/gas therapy (GT). In addition, the accumulation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and down-regulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) can produce excessive harmful lipid hydroperoxides, ultimately leading to ferroptosis.

Project description:Fluorescence image-guided surgery combined with intraoperative therapeutic modalities has great potential for intraoperative detection of oncologic targets and eradication of unresectable cancer residues. Therefore, we have developed an activatable theranostic nanoplatform that can be used concurrently for two purposes: (1) tumor delineation with real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence signal during surgery, and (2) intraoperative targeted treatment to further eliminate unresected disease sites by non-toxic phototherapy. Methods: The developed nanoplatform is based on a single agent, silicon naphthalocyanine (SiNc), encapsulated in biodegradable PEG-PCL (poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ɛ-caprolactone)) nanoparticles. It is engineered to be non-fluorescent initially via dense SiNc packing within the nanoparticle's hydrophobic core, with NIR fluorescence activation after accumulation at the tumor site. The activatable nanoplatform was evaluated in vitro and in two different murine cancer models, including an ovarian intraperitoneal metastasis-mimicking model. Furthermore, fluorescence image-guided surgery mediated by this nanoplatform was performed on the employed animal models using a Fluobeam® 800 imaging system. Finally, the phototherapeutic efficacy of the developed nanoplatform was demonstrated in vivo. Results: Our in vitro data suggest that the intracellular environment of cancer cells is capable of compromising the integrity of self-assembled nanoparticles and thus causes disruption of the tight dye packing inside the hydrophobic cores and activation of the NIR fluorescence. Animal studies demonstrated accumulation of activatable nanoparticles at the tumor site following systemic administration, as well as release and fluorescence recovery of SiNc from the polymeric carrier. It was also validated that the developed nanoparticles are compatible with the intraoperative imaging system Fluobeam® 800, and nanoparticle-mediated image-guided surgery provides successful resection of cancer tumors. Finally, in vivo studies revealed that combinatorial phototherapy mediated by the nanoparticles could efficiently eradicate chemoresistant ovarian cancer tumors. Conclusion: The revealed properties of the activatable nanoplatform make it highly promising for further application in clinical image-guided surgery and combined phototherapy, facilitating a potential translation to clinical studies.
