摘要
Theranostic nanoprobes can potentially integrate imaging and therapeutic capabilities into a single platform,offering a new personalized cancer diagnostic tool.However,there is a growing concern that their clinical application is not safe,particularly due to metal-containing elements,such as the gadolinium used in magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).We demonstrate for the first time that the photothermal melting of the DNA duplex helix was a reliable and versatile strategy that enables the on-demand degradation of the gadolinium-containing MRI reporter gene from polydopamine(PDA)-based theranostic nanoprobes.The combination of chemotherapy(doxorubicin)and photothermal therapy,which leads to the enhanced anti-tumor effect.In vivo MRI tracking reveals that renal filtration was able to rapidly clear the free gadolinium-containing MRI reporter from the mice body.This results in a decrease in the long-term toxic effect of theranostic MRI nanoprobes.Our findings may pave the way to address toxicity issues of the theranostic nanoprobes.
诊疗纳米探针可将成像和治疗功能整合到同一平台中,为个性化癌症诊疗提供了一种新的工具.目前磁共振成像(MRI)诊疗纳米探针多含有重金属元素钆,其临床应用的安全性越来越受到了人们的关注.本文设计了一种基于双链DNA熔融机制的光热诊疗纳米探针,能够从聚多巴胺基纳米探针上按需降解含钆的MRI分子基团.体内MRI显示降解的含钆分子基团能够通过肾脏从小鼠体内快速清除,从而降低了该诊疗纳米探针的长期毒性.本研究为诊疗纳米探针的毒性问题提供了可借鉴的解决方案.
