A Multifunctional Layered Nickel Silicate Nanogenerator of Synchronous Oxygen Self-supply and Superoxide Radical Generation for Hypoxic Tumor Therapy
Abstract
Oxygen consumption but hypoxic tumor environment has been considered as the major obstacle in photodynamic therapy. Although oxygen-supplied strategies have been reported extensively, they still suffer from the complicated system and unsatisfied PDT efficiency. Herein, one-component layered nickel silicate nanoplatforms (LNS NPs) are successfully synthesized using natural vermiculite as the silica source, which can simultaneously supply oxygen (O 2 ) and generate superoxide radicals (O 2 –• ) under near-infrared irradiation. The appropriate electron band structure endows LNS NPs with attractive optical properties, where the bandgap edges determine the performance of redox activity and spectral response characteristic. Evidenced by both in vitro and in vivo investigations, LNS NPs can generate sufficient superoxide radicals under 660 nm laser irradiation to induce tumor cell apoptosis even in a severe hypoxic environment, which benefits from self-supplied oxygen. Besides, the photoacoustic oxy-hem imaging and histologic assay further demonstrated that the generated oxygen can relieve the inherent intratumoral hypoxia. Therefore, LNS NPs not only serve as superoxide radical generator but also produce oxygen to modulate hypoxia, suggesting that it can be used for superoxide radical-mediated photodynamic therapy with enhanced antitumor effect.

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.
