研究目的
To overcome the low tissue penetration depth of external excitation light in fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapy by developing a self-luminescing nanosystem for tumor microenvironment activated imaging and therapy without external light sources.
研究成果
The POCL nanoreactor enables effective NIR chemiluminescence imaging and photodynamic therapy triggered by the tumor microenvironment, showing high specificity, low toxicity, and significant antitumor effects without external light sources, offering a promising strategy for cancer theranostics.
研究不足
The short imaging time due to rapid consumption of CPPO fuel by water and high H2O2 levels; potential aggregation-caused quenching effects at higher TPP doping contents; reliance on H2O2 overproduction in tumors, which may vary.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Designed a nanoreactor (POCL) using an intraparticle relayed resonance energy transfer strategy with CPPO, PFPV, and TPP coencapsulated in PEG-PCL/folate-PEG-cholesterol micelles. Methods include nanoprecipitation for synthesis, and various in vitro and in vivo assays for characterization.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Used human cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7, SMMC-7721, LO2) and BALB/c nude mice with subcutaneously implanted tumors. Data from fluorescence spectroscopy, chemiluminescence imaging, cytotoxicity assays, and animal studies.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes Bruker Avance III 400 spectrometer, GPC system, Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer, ChemiDocTM MP Imaging System, Spectra Max M5 microplate reader, Zetasizer Nano ZS, TEM (FEI Company), CLSM (Zeiss LSM780), IVIS Spectrum imaging system, flow cytometer (BD FACSVerse). Materials include CPPO, PFPV, TPP, PEG-PCL, folate-PEG-cholesterol, ABDA, DCFH-DA, CCK-8 kit, etc.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of POCL via nanoprecipitation; in vitro tests for cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, ROS generation; in vivo imaging and therapy in tumor-bearing mice; biodistribution and pharmacokinetic studies.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis using t-tests, fluorescence intensity quantification with software like ImageJ and IVIS Living Image, curve fitting for pharmacokinetics.
