Organic Stealth Nanoparticles for Highly Effective in Vivo Near-Infrared Photothermal Therapy of Cancer
Abstract
In recent years, a wide range of near-infrared (NIR) light absorbing nanomaterials, mostly inorganic ones, have been developed for photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer. In this work, we develop a novel organic PTT agent based on poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), a conductive polymer mixture with strong NIR absorbance, for in vivo photothermal treatment of cancer. After being layer-by-layer coated with charged polymers and then conjugated with branched polyethylene glycol (PEG), the obtained PEDOT:PSS-PEG nanoparticles are highly stable in the physiological environment and exhibit a stealth-like behavior after intravenous injection with a long blood circulation half-life. As a result, an extremely high in vivo tumor uptake of PEDOT:PSS-PEG attributed to the tumor-enhanced permeability and retention effect is observed. We further use PEDOT:PSS-PEG as a PTT agent for in vivo cancer treatment and realize excellent therapeutic efficacy in a mouse tumor model under NIR light irradiation at a low laser power density. Comprehensive blood tests and careful histological examination reveal no apparent toxicity of PEDOT:PSS-PEG to mice at our treated dose within 40 days. To our best knowledge, this work is the first to use systemically administrated conductive polymer nanoparticles for highly effective in vivo PTT treatment in animals and encourages further explorations of those organic nanomaterials for cancer theranostic applications.

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.
