Dopamine-loaded manganese gallate diagnostic nanoplatform for MRI-guided synergistic photothermal and chemodynamic cancer therapy
摘要
Although traditional cancer therapy is widely used, it still faces treatment and some serious adverse reactions. This study developed an “all-in-one” multifunctional nanotherapeutic agent that integrates the dual capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photothermal/chemodynamic therapy (PPT/CDT). In brief, a multifunctional nanotherapeutic agent was successfully synthesized for MRI and photothermal/chemodynamic therapy by modifying a manganese gallate complex with dopamine (Mn-GA@PDA NPs). We found that at a concentration of 400 μg/mL of Mn-GA@PDA NPs and under irradiation with near-infrared light at 1.5 W/cm2 for 10 min, the temperature could rapidly rise to 59 ℃. Moreover, the cell survival rate was much lower than that of the group without laser irradiation. In the animal experiment, a significant difference between the Mn-GA@PDA NPs + NIR group and the PBS group. The antitumor effect was 9.5 times that of the PBS group. The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the Mn-GA@PDA NPs, possessing chemodynamic and photothermal activity, inhibited the growth of breast cancer 4T1 cells. Due to the inherent high paramagnetism of manganese ion, the Mn-GA@PDA NPs effectively accelerate the longitudinal relaxation rate under normal physiological conditions, demonstrating certain T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging ability. The calculated molar longitudinal relaxation rate was r1 = 4.4 mM−1 s−1, providing robust support for precision medicine. Our Mn-chelating nanoplatform is a promising MRI–visible theragnostic agent for synergistic cancer combination therapy.
