研究目的
To design a nanosystem that endows bismuth sulfide nanorods with photodynamic properties by linking zinc protoporphyrin IX through a thermoresponsive polymer, enabling efficient electron-hole separation and reactive oxygen species generation under NIR laser irradiation for enhanced phototherapeutic effects.
研究成果
BPZP nanosystems effectively combine photothermal and photodynamic therapies with CT imaging, demonstrating significant tumor growth inhibition and excellent biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo, due to efficient electron-hole separation and suppression of antioxidant defenses.
研究不足
The study may have limitations in scalability for clinical applications, potential off-target effects, and the need for further optimization of the nanosystem for enhanced biocompatibility and efficacy in diverse cancer types.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing BPZP nanosystems by linking Bi2S3 nanorods with zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZP) using a thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) polymer and a pH-responsive cell penetration peptide. The rationale was to facilitate electron-hole separation and ROS generation under NIR laser irradiation.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Bi2S3 nanorods were synthesized via a solvothermal method. In vitro studies used 4T1 cancer cells, and in vivo studies used 4T1 tumor-bearing mice.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), thermal gravimetric analyzer, zeta potential analyzer, fluorescence spectrometer, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer, confocal laser scanning microscope, flow cytometer, micro-CT imaging system, and infrared thermal imager. Materials included Bi2S3 NRs, P(NIPAM-co-AM) polymer, ZP, cell penetration peptide, and various assay kits (e.g., H2DCFDA for ROS detection).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Bi2S3 NRs were prepared and characterized. The polymer was coated onto NRs, and ZP and peptide were coupled. BPZP was characterized for size, composition, and properties. Photothermal performance, ROS generation, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, HO-1 expression and activity, and in vivo therapeutic effects were assessed using standard protocols with NIR laser irradiation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using statistical methods (e.g., t-tests), with software tools for imaging and spectroscopy analysis.
