Theranostic porphyrin dyad nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging guided photodynamic therapy.

Xiaolong Liang; Xiaoda Li; Lijia Jing; Xiuli Yue; Zhifei Dai

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a site-specific treatment of cancer involving the administration of a photosensitizer (PS) followed by the local light activation. Besides efficient PSs, image guidance is essential for precise and safe light delivery to the targeting site, thus improving the therapeutic effectiveness. Herein, we report the fabrication of theranostic porphyrin dyad nanoparticles (TPD NPs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided PDT cancer therapy, where the inner metal free porphyrin functions as a photosensitizer for PDT while the outer Mn-porphyrin serve as an MRI contrast agent. Covalent attachment of porphyrins to TPD NPs avoids premature release during systemic circulation. In addition, TPD NPs (~60 nm) could passively accumulate in tumors and be avidly taken up by tumor cells. The PDT and MRI capabilities of TPD NPs can be conveniently modulated by varying the molar ratio of metal free porphyrin/Mn-porphyrin. At the optimal molar ratio of 40.1%, the total drug loading content is up to 49.8%, 31.3% for metal free porphyrin and 18.5% for Mn-porphyrin. The laser light ablated the tumor completely within 7 days in the presence of TPD NPs and the tumor growth inhibition was 100%. The relaxivities were determined to be 20.58 s(-1) mm(-1) for TPD NPs, about four times as much as that of Mn-porphyrin (5.16 s(-1) mm(-1)). After 24 h intravenous injection of TPD NPs, MRI images showed that the whole tumor area remained much brighter than surrounding healthy tissue, allowing to guide the laser light to the desired tumor site for photodynamic ablation.

The high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and thermosensitive cerasomes (HTSCs) were successfully assembled by employing cerasome-forming lipid (CFL) in combination with the component lipids of conventional low temperature sensitive liposomes (LTSLs) including 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG-2000) and 1-stearoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (MSPC). The HTSCs showed spherical shape with a mean diameter around 200 nm, exhibiting good biocompatibility. Both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs can be efficiently encapsulated into HTSCs. In addition, the release rate of HTSCs could be conveniently adjusted by varying the molar ratios of CFL to DPPC. The drug loaded HTSCs showed much longer blood circulation time (half-life >8.50 ± 1.49 h) than conventional LTSLs (0.92 ± 0.17 h). An in vitro study demonstrated that the drug loaded HTSCs are highly stable at 37 °C and show a burst release at 42 °C, providing a capability to act synergistically against tumors. We found that the HTSCs with a proportion of 43.25% of CFL could release more than 90% hydrophilic drugs in 1 min at an elevated temperature of 42 °C generated by HIFU exposure. After intravenous injection of doxorubicin (DOX) loaded HTSCs at 5 mg DOX/kg, followed by double HIFU sonication, the tumor growth of the adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231) bearing mice could be significantly inhibited. Therefore, the drug loaded HTSCs combined with HIFU hold great potential for efficient local chemotherapy of cancer due to the ability to deliver high concentration of chemotherapy drugs directly to the tumor, achieve maximum therapeutic efficacy and minimal side effects, and avoid the damage to the healthy tissues caused by systemic administration of drugs.

A novel multifunctional theranostic agent has been successfully fabricated by loading iron oxide nanoparticles into poly(lactic acid) (PLA) microcapsules followed by surface functionalization with graphene oxide. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments proved that the resulting microcapsules could serve as contrast agents to simultaneously enhance ultrasound, magnetic resonance and photoacoustic imaging. The composite microcapsules show good biocompatibility and rapid response to magnetic fields. Due to the strong absorption of the near-infrared light, the composite microcapsules could efficiently kill cancer cells upon NIR laser irradiation. In addition, it was found that such a photothermal effect could be obviously enhanced by applying an external magnetic field. In a nutshell, this multifunctional microcapsule can be developed as a promising platform that integrates multimodality imaging and therapy capabilities for effective cancer theranostics.

Covalent attachment of Mn-porphyrin onto doxorubicin-loaded poly(lactic acid) nanoparticles for potential magnetic resonance imaging and pH-sensitive drug delivery

Lijia Jing; Xiaolong Liang; Xiaoda Li; Yongbo Yang; Zhifei Dai

In this paper, theranostic nanoparticles (MnP-DOX NPs) were fabricated by conjugating Mn-porphyrin onto the surface of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanoparticles (DOX NPs) for potential T1 magnetic resonance imaging and pH-sensitive drug delivery. An in vitro drug release study showed that the release rate of DOX from MnP-DOX NPs was slow at neutral pH but accelerated significantly in acidic conditions. It was found that MnP-DOX NPs could be easily internalized by HeLa cells and effectively suppressed the growth of HeLa cells and HT-29 cells due to the accelerated drug release in acidic lysosomal compartments. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning analysis demonstrated that MnP-DOX NPs had much higher longitudinal relaxivity in water (r1 value of 27.8 mM(-1) s(-1) of Mn(3+)) than Mn-porphyrin (Mn(III)TPPS3NH2; r1 value of 6.70 mM(-1) s(-1) of Mn(3+)), behaving as an excellent contrast agent for T1-weighted MRI both in vitro and in vivo. In summary, such a smart and promising nanoplatform integrates multiple capabilities for effective cancer diagnosis and therapy.

A theranostic agent was successfully fabricated by the formation of Au nanoshell around poly(lactic acid) nanoparticles entrapping doxorubicin, followed by linking a Mn-porphyrin derivative on the Au shell surface through polyethylene glycol. The resulted agent exhibited excellent colloidal stability and long blood circulation time due to introducing polyethylene glycol. The grafting Mn-porphyrin onto the nanoparticle surface endowed a greatly improved relaxivity (r1 value of 22.18 mM-1s-1 of Mn3+), favorable for accurate cancer diagnosing and locating the tumor site to guide the external near infrared (NIR) laser irradiation for photothermal ablation of tumors. The in vitro experiments confirmed that the agent exhibited an efficient photohyperthermia and a light triggered and stepwise release behavior of doxorubicin due to the high NIR light absorption coefficient of Au nanoshell. The in vivo experiments showed that the combination of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy through such theranostic agent offered a synergistically improved therapeutic outcome compared with either therapy alone, making it a promising approach for cancer therapy. Therefore, such theranostic agent can be developed as a smart and promising nanosystemplatform that integrates multiple capabilities for both effective contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and synergistic therapy.

Stabilized magnetic cerasomes for drug delivery.

Zhong Cao; Xiuli Yue; Xiaoda Li; Zhifei Dai

Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX)-loaded magnetic cerasomes (DLMCs) were successfully constructed by loading both hydrophobic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) and antitumor drug DOX into the aqueous interior of cerasomes via facile one-step construction. A possible explanation is that the hydrophobic Fe3O4 NPs can be trapped inside the aqueous core of cerasomes through the formation of an intermediate Fe3O4/micelle complex. It was found that the loading content of Fe3O4 in DLMCs could reach the maximum at a Fe3O4/lipid molar ratio of 4:1. Moreover, DLMCs demonstrated high superparamagnetism and responded strongly to magnetic fields. In addition, DLMCs had a high encapsulation efficiency of 43.4 ± 4.7% and a high drug loading content of 3.2 ± 1.3%. In comparison to drug-loaded liposomes, DLMCs exhibited higher storage stability and better sustained release behavior. A cellular uptake study showed that the use of an external magnetic field enables a rapid and efficient uptake of DLMCs by cancer cells, resulting in higher capability to kill tumor cells than non-magnetic drug-loaded cerasomes. This study suggests that magnetic cerasome offers a potential and effective drug carrier for anticancer applications.

Design and synthesis of lipidic organoalkoxysilanes for the self-assembly of liposomal nanohybrid cerasomes with controlled drug release properties.

Xiaolong Liang; Xiaoda Li; Lijia Jing; Peng Xue; Lingdong Jiang; Qiushi Ren; Zhifei Dai

This paper reports the facile design and synthesis of a series of lipidic organoalkoxysilanes with different numbers of triethoxysilane headgroups and hydrophobic alkyl chains linked by glycerol and pentaerythritol for the construction of cerasomes with regulated surface siloxane density and controlled release behavior. It was found that the number of triethoxysilane headgroups affected the properties of the cerasomes for encapsulation efficiency, drug loading capacity, and release behavior. For both water-soluble doxorubicin (DOX) and water-insoluble paclitaxel (PTX), the release rate from the cerasomes decreased as the number of triethoxysilane headgroups increased. The slower release rate from the cerasomes was attributed to the higher density of the siloxane network on the surface of the cerasomes, which blocks the drug release channels. In contrast to the release results with DOX, the introduction of one more hydrophobic alkyl chain into the cerasome-forming lipid resulted in a slower release rate of PTX from the cerasomes due to the formation of a more compact cerasome bilayer. An MTT viability assay showed that all of these drug-loaded cerasomes inhibited proliferation of the HepG2 cancer cell line. The fine tuning of the chemical structure of the cerasome-forming lipids would foster a new strategy to precisely regulate the release rate of drugs from cerasomes.

The lack of biosafety and insufficient delivery efficiency of gene-carriers are still obstacles to human gene therapy. This paper reported highly biocompatible chitosan (CS) functionalized Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles (designated as CS/PB NPs) for photocontrollable gene delivery. The ultra-small size (∼3 nm), positive charge and high physiological stability of CS/PB NPs make it suitable to be a nonviral vector. In addition, CS/PB NPs could effectively convert the near infrared (NIR) light into heat due to its strong absorption in the NIR region, assisting the uptake of NPs by cells. Upon NIR light irradiation, CS/PB NPs showed superior gene transfection efficiency, much higher than that of free polyethylenimine (PEI). Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that CS/PB NPs had excellent biocompatiblity. This work also encourages further exploration of the CS/PB NPs as a photocontrollable nanovector for combined photothermal and gene therapy.

Hyaluronic Acid Conjugated Magnetic Prussian Blue@Quantum Dot Nanoparticles for Cancer Theranostics

Yongbo Yang; Lijia Jing; Xiaoda Li; Li Lin; Xiuli Yue; Zhifei Dai

A multifunctional nanotheranostic agent was developed by conjugating both hyaluronic acid and bovine serum albumin coated CuInS2-ZnS quantum dots onto the surface of magnetic Prussian blue nanoparticles. The obtained nanoagent could serve as an efficient contrast agent to simultaneously enhance near infrared (NIR) fluorescence and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging greatly. The coexistence of magnetic core and CD44 ligand hyaluronic acid was found to largely improve the specific uptake of the nanoagent by CD44 overexpressed HeLa cells upon applying an external magnetic field. Both NIR fluorescence and MR imaging in vivo proved high accumulation of the nanoagent at tumor site due to its excellent CD44 receptor/magnetic dual targeting capability. After intravenous injection of the nanoagent and treatment of external magnetic field, the tumor in nude mice was efficiently ablated upon NIR laser irradiation and the tumor growth inhibition was more than 89.95%. Such nanotheranostic agent is of crucial importance for accurately identifying the size and location of the tumor before therapy, monitoring the photothermal treatment procedure in real-time during therapy, assessing the effectiveness after therapy.

Li Lin; Xiaoyou Wang; Yanyu Guo; Kuan Ren; Xiaoda Li; Lijia Jing; Xiuli Yue; Qiang Zhang; Zhifei Dai

Hydrophobic doxorubicin was successfully loaded into hybrid discoid bicelles generated from proamphiphilic organoalkoxysilane and dihexanoyl phosphatidylcholine at the ratio of 7 : 2 by conventional Bangham method in combination with sol–gel reaction and self-assembly process. The drug-loaded hybrid bicelles with about 60 nm diameter and 6 nm thickness were found to exhibit pH-sensitive release behavior, good biocompatibility and remarkably high stability towards surfactant solubilization, long-term storage, and many factors susceptible to destabilize conventional phospholipid bicelles. The hybrid bicelles were proved to have higher cellular uptake via endocytosis and adhesion than spherical cerasomes. The endocytosis of hybrid bicelles was related to clathrin, macropinocytosis and was energy-dependent. Both in vitro and in vivo results showed that the drug loaded bicelles can effectively inhibit tumor growth. In other words, such hybrid bicelles can be employed as a novel promising nanocarrier for hydrophobic drugs.
