Abstract
Purpose: Phototherapy have gained significant traction in the treatment of tumors. However, the successful implementation of these therapies relies on photosensitizers with superior properties and precise guidance mechanisms.
Methods: In this study, we introduce an innovative method for the surface modification of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles through HRP-catalyzed covalent incorporation of Mn(II) chelate (Mn-Dopa) and dopamine.
Results: This modification extends TiO2 nanoparticels' light absorption from ultraviolet to the near-infrared (NIR) range, endowing the nanoparticles with MRI-guided phototherapy capabilities. The resulting nanotheranostics system, TiO2@PDA-MnDopa, demonstrated over 5-fold enhanced relaxivity compared to the monomeric MnDopa and exhibited synergistic phototherapy effects upon 808 nm laser excitation, with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 15.91%. In vitro and in vivo pharmacodynamics studies showed that the TiO2@PDA-MnDopa demonstrated good safety in the HSC3 cell line and corresponding tumor-bearing mice, while effectively inhibiting tumor growth under 808 nm laser excitation.
Conclusion: This multifunctional nanotheranostic, integrating high relaxivity with synergistic PTT/PDT for MR imaging-guided phototherapy, holds great potential for applications in the early diagnosis, noninvasive treatment, and prognostic evaluation of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
