<p>A multifunctional-targeted nanoagent for dual-mode image-guided therapeutic effects on ovarian cancer cells</p>
摘要： Nanomedicine has emerged as a novel therapeutic modality for cancer treatment and diagnosis. Lipid–polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNPs) are core–shell nanoparticle (NP) structures comprising polymer cores and lipid shells, which exhibit complementary characteristics of both polymeric NPs and liposomes. However, it is difficult to wrap perfluoropentane (PFP) into core–shell NPs in the existing preparation process, which limits its application in the integration of diagnosis and treatment. Methods: The folate-targeted LPHNPs-loaded indocyanine green/PFP-carrying oxygen (TOI_HNPs) using a combination of two-step method and solution evaporation technique for the first time. The essential properties and dual-mode imaging characteristics of developed NPs were determined. The cellular uptake of TOI_HNPs was detected by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. The SKOV3 cell viability and apoptosis rate were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry. The ROS was demonstrated by fluorescence microplate reader and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) and IL-6 was detected by Western blot. Results: TOI_HNPs showed spherical morphology with particle size about (166.83±5.54) nm and zeta potential at -(30.57±1.36) mV. It exhibited better stability than lipid NPs and higher encapsulation efficiency as well as active targeting ability than poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NPs. In addition, the novel NPs could also act as the contrast agents for ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging, providing precision guidance and monitoring. Furthermore, TOI_HNPs-mediated photo–sonodynamic therapy (PSDT) caused more serious cell damage and more obvious cell apoptosis, compared with other groups. The PSDT mediated by TOI_HNPs induced generation of intracellular ROS and downregulated the expression of HIF-1α and IL-6 in SKOV3 cells. Conclusion: This kind of multifunctional-targeted nanoagent may provide an ideal strategy for combination of high therapeutic efficacy and dual-mode imaging guidance.

Functionalized Holmium-Doped Hollow Silica Nanospheres for Combined Sonodynamic and Hypoxia-Activated Therapy
摘要： The oxygen concentration dependence of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and bioreductive therapy can be utilized to design the strategy of synergistic therapy. Herein, holmium-doped hollow silica nanospheres are synthesized and then sequentially modified with chlorin e6, carboxyl poly(ethylene glycol) silane, and prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) monoclonal antibody. The resultant nanocomposite designated as HHSN-C/P-mAb has good biocompatibility and can specifically target cancer cells overexpressing PSCA. Due to the inner cavity structure and Ho doping, HHSN-C/P-mAb shows high ultrasound (US) imaging contrast capability and excellent high-field magnetic resonance contrast performance. HHSN-C/P-mAb can act as a nanocarrier for loading the bioreductive prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ), and the degradation of the hollow nanospheres under the trigger of acidic microenvironment favors the pH responsive release of TPZ from the material. Upon US irradiation, HHSN-C/P-mAb produces reactive oxygen species to kill the cancer cells, and importantly, the oxygen consumption during SDT induces an intratumoral hypoxic environment to activate the therapeutic function of codelivered TPZ, resulting in a high-effective synergistic therapy. The findings of this study highlight that HHSN-C/P-mAb is a versatile theranostic nanoplatform for efficient cancer treatment.

Solubilization of a Hydrophobic Prodrug and the Ultrasound Irradiation Effect to TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles-Incorporated Polyion Complex Micelles
摘要： Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) using ultrasound irradiation instead of photoactivation as in photodynamic therapy, has emerged as a promising treatment for various types of cancer. We have focused on titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) as a sonosensitizer which can generate reactive oxygen species by sonication. TiO2 NPs-incorporated polyion complex micelles were developed for the delivery into the cells. Here, carmofur being a hydrophobic prodrug was solubilized into the micelles. From in vitro experiments, it was confirmed that carmofur-solubilized micelles effectively suppress the cell viability due to the additive effect of the anticancer effect of 5-fluorouracil produced by hydrolysis of carmofur and the SDT effect.

Self-Assembled Carrier-Free Nanosonosensitizer for Photoacoustic Imaging-Guided Synergistic Chemo-Sonodynamic Cancer Therapy
摘要： As one of the most promising noninvasive therapeutic modalities, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can focus the ultrasound energy on tumor sites located in deep tissue and locally activate the preloaded sonosensitizer to kill tumor cells. However, exploring sonosensitizers with high SDT efficacy and desirable biosafety is still a significant challenge. Herein, we utilized the hydrophilic-hydrophobic self-assembly technology to assemble the hydrophobic organic dye Ce6 and broad spectral anti-cancer agent Paclitaxel with hydrophilic organic dye IR783 to generate nanoscale sonosensitizer, Ce6-PTX@IR783, without introduction of extra nanomaterials into the fabrication to guarantee the high therapeutic biosafety and further potential clinical translation. The constructed nanodrug was endowed with external ultrasound-activatable chemo-sonodynamic effect and photoacoustic imaging performance via integrating multiple moieties into one nanosystem. Ce6 could enhance the sonodynamic effect, while PTX exerted chemotherapeutic effect, and IR783 was applied to increase tumor-specific accumulation and assist in fulfilling photoacoustic imaging. Especially, the small particle size (70 nm) of Ce6-PTX@IR783 contributed to the increased tumor accumulation via the enhanced permeability and retention effect. The high synergistically chemo-sonodynamic therapeutic efficacy has been successfully demonstrated in vitro and in vivo, in addition to the demonstrated high biodegradability, biocompatibility and biosafety. This facile self-assembly procedure provides an intriguing strategy for high-efficient utilization of hydrophobic drugs and is liable to realize large-scale production and further clinical translation.

<p>The Destruction Of Laser-Induced Phase-Transition Nanoparticles Triggered By Low-Intensity Ultrasound: An Innovative Modality To Enhance The Immunological Treatment Of Ovarian Cancer Cells</p>
摘要： Photodynamic therapy (PDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and oxaliplatin (OXP) can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) following damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) exposure or release and can be united via the use of nanoplatforms to deliver drugs that can impart anti-tumor effects. The aim of this study was to develop phase-transition nanoparticles (OI_NPs) loaded with perfluoropentane (PFP), indocyanine green (ICG), and oxaliplatin (OXP), to augment anti-tumor efficacy and the immunological effects of chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy and sonodynamic therapy (PSDT).

Nanosonosensitizers for Highly Efficient Sonodynamic Cancer Theranostics
摘要： Background: Multifunctional nanoplatforms with diagnostic-imaging and targeted therapeutic functionality (theranostics) are of great interest in the field of precision nanomedicine. The emerging sonodynamic therapy (SDT) combined with sonosensitizers under the guidance of photoacoustic (PA) imaging is highly expected to accurately eliminate cancer cells/tissue. Methods: Unique core/shell-structured theranostic FA-HMME-MNPs-PLGA nanoparticles (FHMP NPs, FA: folate, HMME: hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether, MNPs: melanin nanoparticles, PLGA: poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid) were constructed by the integration of MNPs (for PA imaging) in the core and HMME in the shell for enhanced PA imaging-guided SDT, which were further functionalized with a tumor-targeting ligand, FA. The PA imaging-guided SDT was systematically and successfully demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. The high biosafety of FHMP NPs was also systematically evaluated. Results: The synthesized FHMP NPs with a broad optical absorption not only possess high PA-imaging contrast enhancement capability but also exhibit significant SDT efficiency. Importantly, such a PLGA based nanoplatform improved light stability of HMME, enhancing sonodynamic performance and facilitated delivery of MNPs to the tumor region. Meanwhile, a combined effect between HMME and MNPs was discovered and verified. Furthermore, a sonosensitizer assisted by ultrasound irradiation engenders reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cytotoxicity toward tumor cells/tissue. Both in vitro cell-level and systematic in vivo xenograft evaluations on tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that the selective killing effect of ROS on tumor cells was assisted by FHMP NPs, which played an active role in the suppression of tumor growth with high biosafety. Conclusion: A theranostic nanoplatform was successfully constructed, achieving PA imaging-guided SDT against breast cancer cells/tissue. More importantly, MNPs and HMME in one platform with combined effect for enhancing PA imaging was demonstrated. This unique theranostic nanoplatform with multiple capabilities paves a new way toward personalized medicine by rational utilization.
