pH-Responsive Upconversion Mesoporous Silica Nanospheres for Combined Multimodal Diagnostic Imaging and Targeted Photodynamic and Photothermal Cancer Therapy

L. Palanikumar,
Mona Kalmouni,
Tatiana Houhou
et al.

Abstract: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have gained considerable attention as potential alternatives to conventional cancer treatments. However, these approaches remain limited by low solubility, poor stability, and inefficient targeting of many common photosensitizers (PSs) and photothermal agents (PTAs). To overcome the aforementioned limitations, we engineered biocompatible and biodegradable tumor-targeted upconversion nanospheres with imaging capabilities. The multifunctional nanospheres… Show more

“…Palanikumar et al designed tumor-targeted upconversion nanospheres (Ce6-ALUMSNs) with multimodal imaging capabilities. 78 NaY-F 4 :Yb/Er/Gd and Bi 2 Se 3 were encapsulated in mesoporous silica shells and further loaded with photosensitizer Ce6 in silica spheres. NaYF 4 :Yb/Er converts NIR light into visible light, thereby stimulating Ce6 to produce cytotoxic ROS, and Bi 2 Se 3 effectively converts NIR light into heat.…”

“…Nanoparticle-based drug delivery vehicles that are triggered and targeted are seen as a suitable method to circumvent these constraints [ 11 ]. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have garnered significant interest as drug carriers due to their distinct inherent characteristics, including adjustable shape, particle size, surface charges, pore size and volume, substantial specific surface area, and non-toxicity [ 12 ]. In addition, as compared to traditional MSNs, hollow MSNs (HMSNs) were discovered to have a significant drug-loading capacity because of their spacious hollow interior.…”

“…Therefore, alongside improving the treatment of primary lesions, monitoring cancer metastasis is crucial [ 27 , 28 ]. In recent years, various NPs with diagnostic capabilities have emerged to detect metastatic cancers using techniques such as fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photoacoustic imaging and et al [ 29 31 ]. The combined application of multiple imaging modalities not only enhances diagnostic accuracy and cancer localization but also effectively tracks and monitors cancer progression in real time, contributing to the development of more personalized and effective treatment plans [ 32 34 ].…”
