TiO2 Nanosheets with the Au Nanocrystal-Decorated Edge for Mitochondria-Targeting Enhanced Sonodynamic Therapy

Cao, Yu, Wu, Tingting, Dai, Wenhao, Dong, Haifeng, Zhang, Xueji·2019·Chemistry of Materials

Abstract

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has attracted much attention since it can break the depth-penetration barrier of phototriggered therapeutic strategies. However, developing sonosensitizers with a high reactive oxygen species (ROS) quantum yield for precision and enhanced SDT remains a major challenge. In this study, Au nanocrystals were selectively grew on the edge of the TiO 2 nanosheets (NSs) with highly exposed (001) facets to fabricate Au-TiO 2 NSs as sonosensitizers for enhanced SDT. The high sonosensitization efficiency was closely linked to the effective prevention of the fast recombination of excited electrons and holes. Under ultrasound (US) irradiation, the ROS generation efficiency of the resulting Au-TiO 2 NSs was higher compared to pure TiO 2 NSs and superior to previous TiO 2 nanocomposite. The Au-TiO 2 was further modified with mitochondria-targeted triphenylphosphine (TPP) and AS1411 aptamer (Au-TiO 2 -A-TPP) to realize organelle-targeted enhanced SDT and CT (computed tomography) imaging. The tumor growth inhibition was completely realized via Au-TiO 2 -A-TPP-mediated SDT both in vitro and in vivo due to the adequate ROS generation in the mitochondria organelle. This knowledge is vital to design an inorganic sonosensitizer with structure-dependent and mitochondria-target related SDT enhancement.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
