Nanoparticle-assisted laser-induced photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising method for cancer treatment; yet, visualization of nanoparticle uptake and photothermal response remain a critical challenge. Here, we report a magnetic resonance imaging-active nanomatryoshka (GdO-NM), a multilayered (Au core/GdO shell/Au shell) sub-100 nm nanoparticle capable of combining T MRI contrast with PTT. This bifunctional nanoparticle demonstrates an r of 1.28 × 10 mM s, an MRI contrast enhancement per nanoparticle sufficient for T imaging in addition to tumor ablation. GdO-NM also shows excellent stability in an acidic environment, retaining 99% of the internal Gd(3). This report details the synthesis and characterization of a promising system for combined theranostic nanoparticle tracking and PTT.
纳米粒子辅助激光诱导光热疗法(PTT)是一种很有前景的癌症治疗方法;然而,纳米粒子摄取和光热响应的可视化仍然是一个关键挑战。在此,我们报告了一种磁共振成像活性纳米套娃(GdO-NM),这是一种多层(金核/氧化钆壳/金壳)亚100纳米的纳米粒子,能够将T磁共振成像造影与PTT相结合。这种双功能纳米粒子的弛豫率为1.28×10 mM s,每个纳米粒子的磁共振成像造影增强足以用于T成像以及肿瘤消融。GdO-NM在酸性环境中也表现出出色的稳定性,保留了99%的内部Gd(3)。本报告详细介绍了一种用于联合治疗诊断纳米粒子追踪和PTT的有前景系统的合成与表征。
