The combination of molecular imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) may provide a solution.Methods: Fe3O4-Aushell nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by thermal decomposition, seeded growth and galvanic replacement and were comprehensively characterized. After conjugated to PEG, NPs were used as MRI and PTT agents in vitro and in vivo.Results: Fe3O4-Aushell NPs which had uniform Janus-like morphology were successfully synthesized. The Fe3O4 had a size of 18 ± 2.2 nm, and the Aushell had an outer diameter of 25 ± 3.3 nm and an inner diameter of 20 ± 2.9 nm. The NPs showed superparamagnetism, a saturation magnetization of 36 emu/g, and an optical absorption plateau from 700 to 808 nm. The Fe3O4-Aushell NPs were determined to possess good biocompatibility. After PEG coating, the zeta potential of NPs was changed from − 23.75 ± 1.37 mV to − 13.93 ± 0.55 mV, and the FTIR showed the characteristic C–O stretching vibration at 1113 cm− 1. The NPs’ MR imaging implied that the T2 can be shortened by Fe3O4-Aushell NPs in a concentration-dependent manner, and the Fe3O4-Aushell NPs coated with PEG at the molar ratio of 160 (PEG: NPs) showed the highest transverse relaxivity (r2) of 216 mM− 1s− 1. After irradiation at 0.65 W/cm2 for 5 min, all cells incubated with the Fe3O4-Aushell-PEG160 NPs (Fe: 30 ppm, Au: 70 ppm) died. After administrated intratumorally, Fe3O4-Aushell-PEG160 notably decreased the signal intensity of tumor in T2WI images. Under the same irradiation, the temperature of tumors injected with Fe3O4-Aushell-PEG160 quickly rose to 54.6°C, and the tumors shrank rapidly and were ablated in 6 days.Conclusion: Fe3O4-Aushell-PEG NPs show good r2 and PTT performance and are promising synergistic theranostic agents of MRI and PTT for BC.Keywords: magnetic resonance imaging, photothermal therapy, nanoparticle, early breast cancer theranostics, gold nanoshellsKang XSun TZhang LZhou CXu ZDu MXiao SLiu YGong MZhang DDove Medical Pressarticlemagnetic resonance imagingphotothermal therapyjanus nanoparticleearly breast cancer theranosticsgold nanoshellsMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 6383-6394 (2021) |
