Abstract
- An innovative single NIR light-triggered PTT and PDT nanoplatform from the conventional phototherapeutic agents of Ce6 and CuS NPs was achieved via a core–shell structure strategy. [Display omitted] Theranostic nanoplatforms integrating simultaneously photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) exhibit intrinsic advantages in tumor therapy due to distinct mechanisms of action. However, it is challenging to achieve PDT and PTT under single near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation with a nanoplatform utilizing conventional organic photodynamic agent and inorganic photothermal agent owing to the difference in inherent excitation wavelengths. Particularly, the single NIR light (660 nm)-triggered PTT and PDT nanoplatform, constructed from chlorin e6 (Ce6) and copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles (NPs), has never been reported. Herein, we, for the first time, designed and established a dual-modal phototherapeutic nanoplatform that achieved both PTT and PDT under single NIR laser (660 nm) irradiation for Ce6 and CuS NPs with the strategy of core–shell structured CuS@Carbon integrated with Ce6. Introducing of carbon shell not only endows small CuS NPs with excellent tumor accumulation, but also significantly strengthens the photothermal performance of CuS NPs, realizing efficient photothermal performance under 660 nm laser irradiation. Moreover, Ce6 in carbon shell endowed the nanoplatform with photodynamic effect under 660 nm laser irradiation. The as-prepared Ce6/CuS@Carbon nanoplatform thus achieved dual-modal phototherapy under single NIR laser irradiation, significantly inhibiting tumor growth with minimal adverse effects and superior biosafety.
