Inhibiting Metastasis and Preventing Tumor Relapse by Triggering Host Immunity with Tumor-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy Using Photosensitizer-Loaded Functional Nanographenes

Abstract: Effective cancer therapy depends not only on destroying the primary tumor but also on conditioning the host immune system to recognize and eliminate residual tumor cells and prevent metastasis. In this study, a tumor integrin αvβ6-targeting peptide (the HK peptide)-functionalized graphene oxide (GO) was coated with a photosensitizer (HPPH). The resulting GO conjugate, GO(HPPH)-PEG-HK, was investigated whether it could destroy primary tumors and boost host antitumor immunity. We found that GO(HPPH)-PEG-HK exhib… Show more

“…We are glad to see that a study has exploited an αvβ6 integrin-specific peptide to generate a tumor-targeted photosensitizer, which, when used in photodynamic therapy, resulted in effective ablation of primary lung tumors in mouse models. 50 In conclusion, our studies suggest that BSP expression could influence the αvβ3 integrin level in breast cancer cells. The αvβ3 integrin could partly reverse the decreased effect of bone metastasis caused by IBSP gene silencing.…”

“…A safe and effective immunotherapy with great controllability and sensitivity can be achieved by developing novel drug delivery platforms based on nanotechnology and material science. [264][265][266][267][268][269][270] The cascaded synergistic effects of photodynamic-immunotherapy can provide a promising strategy to inhibit both primary lesions and distant metastases, which can be hardly achieved by conventional PDT with limited immunologic effects. [256] Moreover, the combination of immunotherapy and PDT has attracted an increasing attention due to the potential systematic antitumor immunity after PDT.…”
