Abstract

Many photoresponsive dyes have been utilized as imaging and photodynamic/photothermal therapy agents. Indocyanine green (ICG) is the only near-infrared region (NIR) organic dye for clinical applications approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration; however, the clinical application of ICG is limited by its poor aqueous solubility, low cancer specificity, and low sensitivity in cancer theranostics. To overcome these issues, a multifunctional nanoplatform based on hyaluronic acid (HA) and ICG-engineered metal-organic framework MIL-100(Fe) nanoparticles (MOF@HA@ICG NPs) was successfully developed for imaging-guided, anticancer photothermal therapy (PTT). The synthesized NPs showed a high loading content of ICG (40%), strong NIR absorbance, and photostability. The in vitro and in vivo imaging showed that the MOF@HA@ICG NPs exhibited greater cellular uptake in CD44-positive MCF-7 cells and enhanced tumor accumulation in xenograft tumors due to their targeting capability, compared to MOF@ICG NPs (non-HA-targeted) and free ICG. The in vitro photothermal toxicity and in vivo PTT treatments demonstrated that MOF@HA@ICG NPs could effectively inhibit the growth of MCF-7 cells/xenograft tumors. These results suggest that MOF@HA@ICG NPs could be served as a new promising theranostic nanoplatform for improved anticancer PTT through cancer-specific and image-guided drug delivery.

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.
