研究目的
To develop a multifunctional nanoplatform based on hyaluronic acid modified Au nanocages (AuNCs-HA) for enhanced photoacoustic imaging, photothermal therapy, radiotherapy, and photodynamic therapy, aiming at achieving synergistic therapeutic effects for tumor treatment.
研究成果
The developed AuNCs-HA nanoplatform exhibits significant potential for PA imaging-guided combined radiotherapy, PDT, and PTT, leading to effectively synergistic anticancer efficacy. This multifunctional approach offers a promising strategy for cancer theranostics, integrating imaging and therapeutic functionalities for enhanced tumor treatment.
研究不足
The study primarily focuses on the in vitro and in vivo evaluation of AuNCs-HA in murine models, and further clinical translation would require extensive preclinical and clinical trials to assess safety, efficacy, and potential side effects in humans.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of AuNCs-HA through a galvanic replacement reaction between Ag nanocubes and HAuCl4, followed by modification with hyaluronic acid (HA) for targeted delivery. The nanoplatform's functionalities were evaluated for PA imaging, PTT, PDT, and RT.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Murine 4T1 breast cancer cells and tumor-bearing mice were used as models to assess the therapeutic efficacy and imaging capabilities of AuNCs-HA.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Gold(III) chloride trihydrate, polyethylene glycol (PEG), N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), ethylene glycol, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were used among other reagents.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis of AuNCs-HA, characterization, in vitro and in vivo evaluations including cytotoxicity, ROS generation, photothermal effect, PA imaging, and therapeutic efficacy were systematically conducted.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using statistical methods including one-way ANOVA and student's two-tailed t tests to evaluate the significance of the experimental results.
