¹⁹F MRI/CEUS Dual Imaging-Guided Sonodynamic Therapy Enhances Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Treatment of highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in the clinic is challenging. Here, a liposome nanodrug (LP@PFH@HMME) integrating imaging agents and therapeutic agents for bimodal imaging-guided sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is developed, which boosted immunogenicity to enable potent immunotherapy via immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in TNBC. In the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), LP@PFH@HMME undergoes "nano-to-micro" transformation due to a pH-responsive lipid fusion, which makes droplets much more sensitive to ultrasound (US) in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and SDT studies. The nanodrug demonstrates robust bimodal imaging ability through fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging (¹⁹F MRI) and CEUS bimodal imaging, and it exhibits excellent solubility i
