Theranostic Carbon Dots with Innovative NIR-II Emission for in Vivo Renal Excreted Optical Imaging and Photothermal Therapy
摘要： Carbon dots (CDs) with low biotoxicity, high photostability, and well-controlled small size are highly desirable imaging agents for optical bioimaging. However, most of the CDs triggered by ultraviolet (UV)/blue light present visible/first near infrared (NIR-I) emissions shorter than 820 nm, impairing their imaging applications in vivo by low penetration depth. Hence, developing novel CDs based materials with second near infrared (NIR-II) emission located in 1000-1700 nm region is an urgent task. Here, a novel NIR-II emitting CDs-based nanoprobe triggered by 808 nm laser is developed. The designed CDs with 900-1200 nm luminescence possess high quantum yield (QY-0.4%), and high biocompatibility, which have proven to be effective probes for in vivo NIR-II bioimaging. Notably, nearly 65% CDs are excreted from mouse urine within 6 h, further demonstrating the rapid renal clearance of CDs. Furthermore, the designed CDs also exhibit high photothermal efficiency (30.6%), making them ideal materials for thermal ablation of cancer. Our findings pave the way of designing multifunctional CDs-based theranostic platform for simultaneously integrating the advanced NIR-II bioimaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer.

A Novel Multimodal NIR-II Nanoprobe for the Detection of Metastatic Lymph Nodes and Targeting Chemo-Photothermal Therapy in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
摘要： Current surgical treatment for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) must be as precise as possible to fully resect tumors and preserve functional tissues. Thus, it is urgent to develop efficient fluorescent probes to clearly identify tumor delineation, as well as metastatic lymph nodes. Chemo-photothermal therapy combination attracted a growing attention to increase anti-tumor effect in various types of cancer, including OSCC. In the present study, we designed a multimodal NIR-II probe that involves combining photothermal therapy with chemotherapy, imaging OSCC tumors and detecting metastatic lymph nodes. Methods: In this study, we synthesized a novel near infrared (NIR)-II probe named TQTPA [4,4'-((6,7-bis(4-(hexyloxy)phenyl)-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-g]quinoxaline-4,9-diyl)bis(thiophene-5,2-diyl))bis(N,N-diphenylaniline)] via the Suzuki reaction and prepared multimodal nanoparticles (NPs) loading TQTPA and cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (CDDP) (HT@CDDP) by hyaluronic acid. The characteristics of the NPs, including their photothermal and imaging capabilities were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Their anti-tumor efficacy was evaluated using orthotopic, tongue tumor-bearing, nude mice. Results: The NPs possessed good stability and water solubility and were pH/hyaluronidase sensitive. The good tissue penetration quality and active targeting ability enabled the NPs to draw the outline of orthotopic tongue tumors and metastatic lymph nodes as small as 1 mm in nude mice by IR-808 under NIR exposure. In vitro and in vivo experiments validated the biocompatibility and low systematic toxicity of the NPs. At the same time, the NPs acted as multimodal therapy agents, combining photothermal therapy with chemotherapy. Conclusion: With a good imaging capability and anti-tumor efficacy, our NPs successfully outlined orthotopic tongue tumors and metastatic lymph nodes as well as enabled chemo-photothermal therapy combination. Our study established a solid foundation for the application of new clinical diagnosis and treatment patterns in the future.

Controlled Synthesis of Ag <sub/>2</sub> Te@Ag <sub/>2</sub> S Corea??Shell Quantum Dots with Enhanced and Tunable Fluorescence in the Second Neara??Infrared Window
摘要： Fluorescence in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 900–1700 nm) has drawn great interest for bioimaging, owing to its high tissue penetration depth and high spatiotemporal resolution. NIR-II fluorophores with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and stability along with high biocompatibility are urgently pursued. In this work, a Ag-rich Ag2Te quantum dots (QDs) surface with sulfur source is successfully engineered to prepare a larger bandgap of Ag2S shell to passivate the Ag2Te core via a facile colloidal route, which greatly enhances the PLQY of Ag2Te QDs and significantly improves the stability of Ag2Te QDs. This strategy works well with different sized core Ag2Te QDs so that the NIR-II PL can be tuned in a wide range. In vivo imaging using the as-prepared Ag2Te@Ag2S QDs presents much higher spatial resolution images of organs and vascular structures as compared with the same dose of Ag2Te nanoprobes administrated, suggesting the success of the core–shell synthetic strategy and the potential biomedical applications of core–shell NIR-II nanoprobes.

A novel small-molecule near-infrared II fluorescence probe for orthotopic osteosarcoma imaging
摘要： Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone, particularly among children and adolescents. Advances in imaging, surgical techniques, and implants have dramatically reduced the need for amputation in the past three decades. Recently, in vivo fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1,000–1,700 nm) shows impressive advantages of deeper tissue penetration and higher spatial resolution, which makes it a promising tool for the early diagnosis and post-operative observation of Osteosarcoma. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first time to develop a novel NIR-II fluorescence probe conjugated with an osteosarcoma targeted oligopeptide for molecular tumor imaging in a xenograft orthotopic osteosarcoma mouse model.

Facile Synthesis of Noncytotoxic PEGylated Dendrimer Encapsulated Silver Sulfide Quantum Dots for NIR-II Biological Imaging
摘要： Near-Infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) bioimaging features high penetration depth and high spatio-temporal resolution compared to traditional fluorescence imaging, but the key is to develop stable and biocompatible NIR-II fluorophores suitable for in vivo applications. Silver sulfide quantum dots (Ag2S QDs) have been demonstrated excellent for in vivo NIR-II imaging with unique optical properties and decent biocompatibility, but they often require complex post modifications for in vivo applications. Herein we demonstrate a facile one-pot strategy to synthesize the PEGylated dendrimer-encapsulated Ag2S QDs useful for in vivo NIR-II imaging. Silver ions were first loaded into the core of acylthiourea-functionalized dendrimer (PEG-PATU) through the coordination between silver ions and acylthiourea groups, followed by the addition of sodium sulfide to form Ag2S QDs in situ. The resulting PEG-PATU Ag2S QDs hold excellent NIR-II fluorescence signal, and thus could be executed for high efficiency labelling and tracking of A549 cancer cells mobility in vivo and real time visualization of vast circulatory network of a mouse.

3D cellular imaging in thick biological tissue with confocal detection of one-photon fluorescence in the NIR-II window
摘要： Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared optical window (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) has become a technique of choice for non-invasive in vivo imaging in recent years. Greater penetration depths with high spatial resolution and low background can be achieved with this NIR-II window, owing to low autofluorescence within this optical range and reduced scattering of long wavelength photons. Here, we present a novel design of confocal laser scanning microscope tailored for imaging in the NIR-II window. We showcase the outstanding penetration depth of our confocal setup with a series of imaging experiments. HeLa cells labeled with PbS quantum dots (QDs) with a peak emission wavelength of 1276nm can be visualized through a 3.5-mm-thick layer of scattering medium, which is a 0.8% Lipofundin solution. A commercially available organic dye IR-1061 (emission peak at 1132nm), in its native form, is used for the first time, as a NIR-II fluorescence label in cellular imaging. Our confocal setup is capable of capturing optically sectioned images of IR-1061 labeled chondrocytes in fixed animal cartilage at a depth up to 800μm, with a superb spatial resolution of around 2 μm.

Semiconducting Polymer Nanoparticles as Theranostic System for Near-Infrared II Fluorescence Imaging and Photothermal Therapy under Safe Laser Fluence
摘要： Theranostic systems combining fluorescence imaging in the second near infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) and photothermal therapy (PTT) under safe laser fluence have great potential in preclinical research and clinical practice, but the development of such systems with sufficient effective NIR-II brightness and excellent photothermal properties is still challenging. Here we report a theranostic system based on semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (L1057 NPs) for NIR-II fluorescence imaging and PTT under a 980 nm laser irradiation, with low (25 mW/cm2) and high (720 mW/cm2) laser fluence, respectively. Taking into consideration multiple parameters including extinction coefficient, quantum yield and portion of emission in the NIR-II region, L1057 NPs have much higher effective NIR-II brightness than most reported organic NIR-II fluorophores. The high brightness, together with good stability and excellent biocompatibility, allows for real-time visualization of whole-body and brain vessels and detection of cerebral ischemic stroke and tumors with high clarity. The excellent photothermal properties and high maximal permissible exposure (MPE) limit at 980 nm allow L1057 NPs for PTT of tumors under safe laser fluence. This study demonstrates that L1057 NPs behave as an excellent theranostic system for NIR-II imaging and PTT under safe laser fluence and have great potential for a wide range of biomedical applications.

All-in-one theranostic nanoplatform with controlled drug release and activated MRI tracking functions for synergistic NIR-II hyperthermia-chemotherapy of tumors
摘要： Real-time tracking drug release behavior is fundamentally important for avoiding adverse effects or unsuccessful treatment in personalize medical treatment. However, the development of a non-invasive drug reporting platform still remains challenging. Herein the design of a novel synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent for drug release tracking (SMART) is reported, which integrates photothermal core and paramagnetic ion/drug loading shell with a thermal valve in a hybrid structure. Through near-infrared (NIR)-II photothermal effect originating from inner Au-Cu9S5 nanohybrid core, burst release of drugs loaded in the mesoporous silica shell is achieved. The concomitant use of a phase change material not only prevents premature drug release, but also regulates heating effect, keeping local temperature below 45 oC, enabling synergistic chemotherapy and mild hyperthermia in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the drug release from SMART facilitates proton accessibility to the paramagnetic ions anchored inside mesopores channels, enhancing longitudinal T1 relaxation rate and displaying positive signal correlation to the amount of released drug, thus allowing non-invasive real-time monitoring of drug release event. The current study highlights the potential of designed MRI nanophores such as SMART for real-time and in-situ monitoring of drug delivery for precision theranostic applications.
