研究目的
The study aims to develop titania-coated Au nanobipyramids (NBP@TiO2) as a novel photothermal agent responsive in the NIR-II window for photothermal therapy (PTT) and to explore a combined chemo-photothermal therapy strategy for cancer therapy.
研究成果
The NBP@TiO2 nanostructures are effective as a photothermal agent in the NIR-II window and enable a combined chemo-photothermal therapy strategy that shows superior antitumor effects under mild laser irradiation conditions.
研究不足
The study does not address the potential systemic side effects of the combined therapy in humans or the long-term stability and toxicity of the NBP@TiO2 nanostructures in vivo.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of NBP@TiO2 nanostructures with a strong plasmon resonance in the NIR-II window, loading of the anticancer drug CA4P, and evaluation of their photothermal conversion efficiency and therapeutic effects in vitro and in vivo.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Human lung cancer A549 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used for in vitro studies, and A549 tumor-bearing nude mice were used for in vivo studies.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a 1064-nm laser, transmission electron microscope (TEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF-STEM), ultraviolet/visible/NIR spectrophotometer, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) system, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrophotometer, thermogravimetric analyzer, size analyzer, microplate reader, fluorescence microscope, and in vivo micro-CT scanner. Materials included Au nanobipyramids, TiO2, CA4P, and various chemicals for synthesis and analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The procedures included the synthesis and characterization of NBP@TiO2 nanostructures, drug loading and release assays, cell viability and tube formation assays, PTT studies in cells and mice, and in vivo CT imaging and antitumor effect evaluation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using statistical methods including one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post hoc test.
