In this study, we developed a multifunctional theranostic platform based on an amphiphilic hyaluronan/poly-(N-ϵ-carbobenzyloxy-L-lysine) derivative (HA-g-PZLL), superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) nanoparticles for tumor-targeted magnetic resonance (MR) and fluorescence (FL) dual-modal image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT).Materials and Methods: The amphiphilic hyaluronan acid (HA) derivative HA-g-PZLL was synthesized by grafting hydrophobic poly-(N-ϵ-carbobenzyloxy-L-lysine) (PZLL) blocks onto hyaluronic acid by a click conjugation reaction. The obtained HA-g-PZLLs self-assembled into nanoparticles in the presence of AIE molecules and SPIO nanoparticles to produce tumor-targeted theranostic nanoparticles (SPIO/AIE@HA-g-PZLLs) with MR/FL dual-modal imaging ability. Cellular uptake of the theranostic nanoparticles was traced by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), flow cytometry and Prussian blue staining. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation characteristics of the theranostic nanoparticles were evaluated with CLSM and flow cytometry. The effect of PDT was evaluated by cytotoxicity assay. The dual-mode imaging ability of the nanoparticles was evaluated by a real-time near-infrared fluorescence imaging system and magnetic resonance imaging scanning.Results: The resulting theranostic nanoparticles not only emit red fluorescence for high-quality intracellular tracing but also effectively produce singlet oxygen for photodynamic tumor therapy. In vitro cytotoxicity experiments showed that these theranostic nanoparticles can be efficiently taken up and are mainly present in the cytoplasm of HepG2 cells. After internalization, these theranostic nanoparticles showed serious cytotoxicity to the growth of HepG2 cells after white light irradiation.Discussion: This work provides a simple method for the preparation of theranostic nanoparticles with AIE characteristics and MR contrast enhancement, and serves as a dual-modal imaging platform for image-guided tumor PDT.Keywords: aggregation-induced emission, MR imaging, dual-modal imaging, photodynamic therapy
