Sumario: | Near infrared (NIR) imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) is remarkable for its high-efficiency in “see and treat” field. However, hypoxia of cancer cell limits PDT dues to the low singlet oxygen yield. Here MnO(2) conjugated multifunctional polypeptide nanoparticles encapsulating photosensitizer BODIPY has been prepared via a one-step reaction, which can generate oxygen in cancer cytoplasm where rich of H(2)O(2), following singlet oxygen by photosensitizer under NIR light irradiation. In vitro studies on HepG2 and 4T1 cancer cells revealed that the as-prepared nanoparticles obviously increase the cell suppression rate under hypoxia conditions, even exposed to an extremely low light energy density (25 mW/cm(2)). Meanwhile, excellent NIR fluorescence property of BODIPY enabled the nanoparticles to light up the cancer cells for real-time imaging. These results suggest the promises of biocompatible and biodegradable nanoparticles has potential application on efficient NIR imaging-guided photodynamic therapy. |
