Abstract
Rationale: Recently, there is one-fifth of human deaths caused by cancer, leading to cancer treatment remains a hard nut to crack in the medical field. Therefore, as an emerging diagnostic technology, mesoporous nanomaterials-based drug delivery systems integrated diagnosis and therapy have aroused tremendous interest owing to visually targeting effect and superior therapy efficacy compared with traditional cancer treatment. Methods: In this work, we have successfully synthesized mesoporous carbon-gold hybrid nanozyme nanoprobes, whereby mesoporous carbon nanospheres were doped with small gold nanoparticles (OMCAPs) and further stabilized with a complex of reduced serum albumin and folic acid (rBSA-FA). After loading IR780 iodide, the OMCAPs@ rBSA-FA@IR780 nanoprobes were finally accomplished for real-time imaging, photothermal/photodynamic and nanozyme oxidative therapy. Results: Herein, acid oxidized MCAPs possessed large surface area and numerous -COOH groups, which could be used to surface chemically modify numerous targeting molecules and load abundant NIR dye IR780, as well as be acted as photothermal reagents to enhance photothermal therapy effect. In addition, the small Au NPs embedded in OMCAPs were utilized as nanozyme to catalyze H2O2 located in tumor cells to generate ·OH for intracellular oxidative damage of tumor. Besides, as a commonly used near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence dye, the loaded IR780 iodide could not only apply for real-time imaging, but also effectively enhance photo-thermal therapy (PTT) upon the 808 nm laser irradiation. Moreover, FA molecules could enhance the targeted efficiency of the nanoprobes to the gastric tumor site. According to the systematical study in vitro and in vivo, our fabricated nanoprobes based on carbon-gold hybrid (OMCAPs@ rBSA-FA@IR780) revealed excellent tumor targeting efficacy, long tumor retention and favorably therapeutic effect for tumor. Conclusion: All the results demonstrated that here synthesized probes exhibited excellently diagnostic and therapeutic performance, indicating our technology may potentially offer an outstanding strategy for tumor-targeting theranostics.

Abstract
To maximize drug targeting to solid tumors, cancer nanomedicines with prolonged circulation times are required. To this end, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been widely used as a steric shield of nanomedicine surfaces to minimize serum protein absorption (opsonisation) and subsequent recognition and clearance by cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). However, PEG also inhibits interactions of nanomedicines with target cancer cells, limiting the effective drug dose that can be reached within the target tumor. To overcome this dilemma, nanomedicines with stimuli-responsive cleavable PEG functionality have been developed. These benefit from both long circulation lifetimes en route to the targeted tumor as well as efficient drug delivery to target cancer cells. In this review, various stimuli-responsive strategies to dePEGylate nanomedicines within the tumor microenvironment will be critically reviewed.

Abstract
The supramolecular construction of multi-stimuli assemblies is a challenging task for prospective use. In this work, a novel supramolecular amphiphile was fabricated by introducing molecules with dynamic covalent bonds into host-guest inclusion. The amphiphile formed a vesicle, which was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), 1H NMR and UV-vis spectra. Furthermore, the vesicular structure could be regulated by pH, light and redox reagent, and thus the loaded dye in the vesicles could be released in a controlled manner.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are major extracellular enzymes involved in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. MMPs are widely used as cancer biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Recently, MMPs have been investigated as robust tumor microenvironmental stimuli for 'smart' MMP-responsive drug delivery and tumor targeting and have shown great potential in cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this article, we review the newly emerging MMP-responsive strategies and major MMP-responsive nanomaterials and nanocarriers used for tumor-targeted delivery of drugs and imaging agents at the tissue, cellular, and intracellular levels. We also discuss the challenges and critical considerations in their development and clinical translation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an appealing therapeutic modality in management of some solid tumors and other diseases for its minimal invasion and non-systemic toxicity. However, the hydrophobicity and non-selectivity of the photosensitizers, inherent serious hypoxia of tumor tissues and limited penetration depth of light restrict PDT further applications in clinic. Functional polymer nanoparticles can be used as a nanocarrier for accurate PDT. Here, we elucidate the mechanism and application of PDT in cancer treatments, and then review some strategies to administer the biodistribution and activation of photosensitizers (PSs) to ameliorate or utilize the tumor hypoxic microenvironment to enhance the photodynamic therapy effect.

Abstract
Electrochromic materials (EMs) are widely used color-switchable materials, but their applications as stimuli-responsive biomaterials to monitor and control biological processes remain unexplored. This study reports the engineering of an organic π-electron structure-based EM (dicationic 1,1,4,4-tetraarylbutadiene, 12+) as a unique hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-responsive chromophore amenable to build H2S-activatable fluorescent probes (12+-semiconducting polymer nanoparticles, 12+-SNPs) for in vivo H2S detection. We demonstrate that EM 12+, with a strong absorption (500-850 nm), efficiently quenches the fluorescence (580, 700, or 830 nm) of different fluorophores within 12+-SNPs, while the selective conversion into colorless diene 2 via H2S-mediated two-electron reduction significantly recovers fluorescence, allowing for non-invasive imaging of hepatic and tumor H2S in mice in real time. Strikingly, EM 12+ is further applied to design a near-infrared photosensitizer with tumor-targeting and H2S-activatable ability for effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) of H2S-related tumors in mice. This study demonstrates promise for applying EMs to build activatable probes for molecular imaging of H2S and selective PDT of tumors, which may lead to the development of new EMs capable of detecting and regulating essential biological processes in vivo.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has been extensively utilized in the design and development of powerful strategies for drug delivery and cancer theranostic. Nanoplatforms as a drug delivery system have many advantages such as in vivo imaging, combined drug delivery, extended circulation time, and systemic controlled release. The functional biomimetic drug delivery could be realized by incorporating stimuli-responsive (pH, temperature, redox potential, etc.) properties into the nanocarrier system, allowing them to bypass biological barriers and arrive at the targeted area. In this review, we discuss the role of internal stimuli-responsive nanocarrier system for imaging and drug delivery in cancer therapy. The development of internal stimuli-responsive nanoparticles is highlighted for precision drug delivery applications, with a particular focus on in vivo imaging, drug release performance, and therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
The development of imaging-guided smart drug delivery systems for combinational photodynamic/chemotherapy of the tumor has become highly demanded in oncology. Herein, redox-responsive theranostic polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated innovatively using low molecular weight heparin (LWMH) as the backbone. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and alpha-tocopherol succinate (TOS) were conjugated to LMWH via cystamine as the redox-sensitive linker, forming amphiphilic Ce6-LMWH-TOS (CHT) polymer, which could self-assemble into NPs in water and encapsulate paclitaxel (PTX) inside the inner core (PTX/CHT NPs). The enhanced near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence intensity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation of Ce6 were observed in a reductive environment, suggesting the cystamine-switched "ON/OFF" of Ce6. Also, the in vitro release of PTX exhibited a redox-triggered profile. MCF-7 cells showed a dramatically higher uptake of Ce6 delivered by CHT NPs compared with free Ce6. The improved therapeutic effect of PTX/CHT NPs compared with mono-photodynamic or mono-chemotherapy was observed in vitro via MTT and apoptosis assays. Also, the PTX/CHT NPs exhibited a significantly better in anti-tumor efficiency upon NIR irradiation according to the results of in vivo combination therapy conducted on 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. The in vivo NIR fluorescence capacity of CHT NPs was also evaluated in tumor-bearing nude mice, implying that the CHT NPs could enhance the accumulation and retention of Ce6 in tumor foci compared with free Ce6. Interestingly, the anti-metastasis activity of CHT NPs was observed against MCF-7 cells by a wound healing assay, which was comparable to LMWH, suggesting LMWH was promising for construction of nanocarriers for cancer management.

Abstract
Nanocarrier-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT), which involves the systemic delivery of photosensitizers (PSs) into tumor tissue and tumor cells, has emerged as an attractive treatment for cancer. However, insufficient PS release limits intracellular cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which has become a major obstacle to improving the PDT therapeutic efficacy. Herein, a novel hyperbranched polyphosphoester (hbPPE) containing numerous acetal bonds (S-hbPPE/Ce6) was explored as a chlorin e6 (Ce6) nanocarrier for PDT. S-hbPPE/Ce6 with a branched topological structure efficiently encapsulated Ce6 and then significantly enhanced its internalization by tumor cells. Subsequently, the endo-/lysosomal acid microenvironment rapidly cleaved the acetal linkage of S-hbPPE and destroyed the nanostructure of S-hbPPE/Ce6, resulting in increased Ce6 release and obviously elevated the intracellular ROS generation under illumination. Therefore, treatment with S-hbPPE/Ce6 noticeably enhanced the PDT therapeutic efficacy, indicating that such a pH-sensitive hbPPE nanocarrier has great potential to improve the PDT therapeutic efficacy for cancer therapy.

[PMID: 29421571 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2018.01.099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2017] [Revised: 01/30/2018] [Accepted: 01/31/2018] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Curcumin (cur) has been comprehensively studied for its various biological properties, more precisely for its antitumor potential and it has shown the promising results as well. On the other hand, Chlorin e6 (Ce6) has mostly been used as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy (PDT) against a variety of carcinomas. In the present study, we have synthesized a series of Chlorin e6-curcumin (Ce6-cur) conjugates and investigated their photosensitizing potential against pancreatic cancer cell lines. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and LC-MS. These Ce6-cur conjugates showed better physicochemical properties and higher singlet oxygen generation capability. The cellular uptake was studied in AsPC-1 cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Compound 17 was rapidly internalized within 30 min and sustained for 24 h. Compound 17 showed excellent PDT efficacy with IC50 of 40, 35 and 41 nM against AsPC-1, MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 respectively with exceptional dark/phototoxicity ratio in the range of 2371-7500. Moreover, the treatment of compound 17 upregulated the expression of BAX, Cytochrome-C and cleaved caspase 9 while downregulating the Bcl-2 expression an anti-apoptotic protein marker. These results demonstrate outstanding capability of compound 17 as a potent photosensitizer which could improve the PDT efficacy in pancreatic cancer patients.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown to kill cancer cells and improve survival and quality of life in cancer patients, and numerous new approaches have been considered for maximizing the efficacy of PDT. In this study, a new multifunctional nanophotosensitizer Ce6/GE11-(pH)micelle was developed to target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpressing colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. This nanophotosensitizer was synthesized using a micelle comprising pH-responsive copolymers (PEGMA-PDPA), biodegradable copolymers (mPEG-PCL), and maleimide-modified biodegradable copolymers (Mal-PEG-PCL) to entrap the potential hydrophobic photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and to present EGFR-targeting peptides (GE11) on its surface. In the presence of Ce6/GE11-(pH)micelles, Ce6 uptake by EGFR-overexpressing CRC cells significantly increased due to GE11 specificity. Moreover, Ce6 was released from Ce6/GE11-(pH)micelles in tumor environments, leading to improved elimination of cancer cells in PDT. These results indicate enhanced efficacy of PDT using Ce6/GE11-(pH)micelle, which is a powerful nanophotosensitizer with high potential for application to future PDT for CRC.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have drawn a great deal of attention for their opportunities to improve cancer treatments over intrinsic limits of conventional cancer therapies. Herein, we developed the polypeptide-modified gold nanoclusters (GNCs)-based nanoprobes for tumor-targeted near-infrared fluorescence imaging and chemo-photodynamic therapy. The nanoprobes comprise of tetra-functional components: i) polyethylene glycol (PEG) shell for long blood circulation and better biocompatibility; ii) MMP2 polypeptide (CPLGVRGRGDS) for tumor targeting; iii) cis-aconitic anhydride-modified doxorubicin (CAD) for pH-sensitive drug release; iv) photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) for photodynamic therapy and fluorescence imaging. The in vitro results demonstrated that the as-synthesized nanoprobes could be efficiently internalized into A549 cells and then significantly enhance the mortality of cancer cells compared with free Ce6 and doxorubicin. For in vivo tests, the nanoprobes showed excellent tumor targeting ability, long blood circulation time, and could remarkably inhibit the growth of tumor. Our results will help to advance the design of combination strategies to enhance the efficacy of imaging-guided cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The as-prepared CDGM NPs could accumulate into the tumor tissue with the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect as well as the active tumor targeting ability from the MMP2 polypeptides. With the acid-sensitive linker, the doxorubicin (DOX) would be released from the synthesized nanoparticles after exposing to the acid tumor microenvironment. The CDGM NPs exhibit excellent tumor targeting ability and could remarkably suppress the growth of tumor compared with free Ce6 and DOX.

Abstract
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are well-known mediators that are activated in tumor progression. MMP2 is a kind of gelatinase in extracellular matrix remodeling and cancer metastasis processes. MMP2 secretion increased in many types of cancer diseases, and its abnormal expression is associated with a poor prognosis. We fabricated a nanocomposite that sensed MMP2 expression by a red and blue light change. This nanocomposite consisted of an upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP), MMP2-sensitive peptide, and CuInS2/ZnS quantum dot (CIS/ZnS QD). An UCNP is composed of NaYF4:Tm/Yb@NaYF4:Nd/Yb, which has multiple emissions at UV/blue-visible wavelengths under 808 nm laser excitation. The conjugated CIS/ZnS QD showed the red-visible fluorescence though the FRET process. The two fluorophores were connected by a MMP2-sensitive peptide to form a novel MMP2 biosensor, named UCNP@p-QD. UCNP@p-QD was highly biocompatible according to cell viability assay. The FRET-based biosensor was employed in the MMP2 determination in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, it was administrated into the tumor-bearing mouse to check MMP2 expression. UCNP@p-QD could be a promising tool for biological study and biomedical application. In this study, we demonstrated that the CIS/ZnS QD improved the upconversion intensity through a near-infrared-induced FRET process. This nanocomposite has the advantage of light penetration, excellent biocompatibility, and high sensitivity to sense MMP2. The near-infrared-induced composites are a potential inspiration for use in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The use of micro- and nanomaterials as carriers of therapeutic molecules can enhance the efficiency of treatments while avoiding side effects thanks to the development of controlled drug delivery systems. The binding of a dye to a drug or to a drug carrier has opened up a wide range of possibilities for an effective in vivo optical tracing of drug biodistribution by using non-invasive real-time technologies prior to their potential use as therapeutic vectors. Here, we describe the fluorescent tagging of polymeric micro- and nanomaterials based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid and on the thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) with the fluorescent probe IR-820 which was chemically modified for its covalent coupling to the materials. The chemical modification of the dye and the polymers yielded micro- and nanoparticulated labelled materials to be potentially used as drug depots of different therapeutic molecules. In vitro biological studies revealed their reduced cytotoxicity. A spatiotemporal in vivo micro- and nanoparticle tracking allowed the evaluation of the biodistribution of materials showing their local persistence and high biocompatibility after pathological studies. These results underline the suitability of these materials for the local, sustained, not harmful and/or on-demand drug delivery and the remarkable importance of evaluating the biodistribution of materials and tissue persistence for their use as local drug depots.

Abstract
In recent years, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have demonstrated marked progress in the field of oncology. General nanoparticles are widely used in tumor targeting, and the intrinsic magnetic property of MNPs makes them the most promising nanomaterial to be used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and induced magnetic hyperthermia. The properties of MNPs are fully exploited when they are used as drug delivery agents, wherein drugs may be targeted to the desired specific location in vivo by application of an external magnetic field. Early diagnosis of cancer may be achieved by MRI, therefore, individualized treatment may be combined with MRI, so as to achieve the precise definition and appropriate treatment. In the present review, research on MNPs in cancer diagnosis, drug delivery and treatment has been summarized. Furthermore, the future perspectives and challenges of MNPs in the field of oncology are also discussed.

Abstract
In order to realize a combination of chemotherapy and selective drug release into tumor cells, novel pH-sensitive prodrugnanoparticles were designed and prepared via the self-assembly of a synthetic amphiphilic macromolecular prodrug for the selective co-delivery of doxorubicin (Dox) and curcumin (Cur). Dox was covalently conjugated to the oxidized sodium alginate through a Schiff base reaction to produce an amphiphilic macromolecular prodrug, and the prodrug was subsequently self-assembled into nanoparticles (Dox-NPs) in an aqueous solution, which were responsive to the acidic environment in tumor cells. Additionally, a second chemotherapeutic agent, Cur, was encapsulated in the core of nanoparticles (Cur-Dox-NPs) via hydrophobic effects, with a significant drug loading capacity. Cur-Dox-NPs exhibited an efficient release of both Dox and Cur in acidic media and further studies of their intracellular uptake and drug release confirmed that Dox-NPs were easily taken up by cells and selectively released the drug into the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. In vitro cytotoxicity studies of the NPs showed a remarkable efficacy against MCF-7 cell lines, whereas an improved safety profile was observed in the human breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A. Furthermore, in vivo studies in zebrafish further confirmed an efficient absorption of Dox-NPs. In vivo cardiotoxicity experiments on a zebrafish model showed that Dox-NPs exhibited an improved cardiotoxicity profile in comparison with free Dox. This study demonstrated that this novel pH-sensitive prodrug-nanoparticle system may provide a simple and efficient platform for the selective co-delivery of multiple drugs to tumor cells.

Abstract
Approaches to achieve site-specific and targeted delivery that provide an effective solution to reduce adverse, off target side effects are urgently needed for cancer therapy. Here, we utilized a Trojan-horse-like strategy to carry photosensitizer Chlorin e6 conjugated porous silicon multistage nanovectors with tumor homing mesenchymal stem cells for targeted photodynamic therapy and diagnosis. The inherent versatility of multistage nanovectors permitted the conjugation of photosensitizers to enable precise cell death induction (60%) upon photodynamic therapy, while simultaneously retaining the loading capacity to load various payloads, such as antitumor drugs and diagnostic nanoparticles. Furthermore, the mesenchymal stem cells that internalized the multistage nanovectors conserved their proliferation patterns and in vitro affinity to migrate and infiltrate breast cancer cells. In vivo administration of the mesenchymal stem cells carrying photosensitizer-conjugated multistage nanovectors in mice bearing a primary breast tumor confirmed their tropism toward cancer sites exhibiting similar targeting kinetics to control cells. In addition, this approach yielded in a > 70% decrease in local tumor cell viability after in vivo photodynamic therapy. In summary, these results show the proof-of-concept of how photosensitizer conjugated multistage nanovectors transported by stem cells can target tumors and be used for effective site-specific cancer therapy while potentially minimizing potential negative side effects.

Abstract
Theranostic nanoparticles with combined imaging and therapy functions show great promise in cancer precision medicine. In this study, we constructed near-infrared (NIR) "OFF-ON" fluorescent nanohybrids (F-PNDs) for synchronous tumor imaging and microRNA (miRNA) modulation therapy against esophageal cancer. Nanodiamond clusters (NDs) were first functionalized for protamine sulfate immobilization (PNDs) on their surfaces via a noncovalent self-assembling approach and simultaneous encapsulation of NIR emitting fluorescence dye cyanine 5 (Cy-5) (F-PNDs). Tumor suppressor miRNA-203 (miR-203) was then adsorbed onto the surface of F-PNDs to form miR-203/F-PNDs via electrostatic interactions. The size, morphology, photophysical and stability properties of miR-203/F-PNDs were analyzed. We found that the NIR fluorescence of miR-203/F-PNDs could be activated to the "ON" state in intracellular environment while remaining in the "OFF" state in extracellular or blood environment. Furthermore, in vivo live imaging experiments showed that miR-203/F-PNDs could be predominantly accumulated in tumor tissues and image the tumor sites 24 h postintravenous injection. In addition, intravenous and intratumoral injection of miR-203/F-PNDs could efficiently inhibit tumor growth through down-regulation of the expressions of oncogenes Ran and Δp63. Our study indicated that miRNA/F-PNDs could serve as a promising theranostic platform for synchronous tumor imaging and miRNA-based modulation therapy against cancer.

Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis of a specialized silica tip for an optical fiber device capable of delivering all components necessary for photodynamic therapy. Oxygen, light and a cleavable tripolyethylene glycol (PEG)-galloyl pheophorbide sensitizer are simultaneously delivered by the silica tip, where the tip was synthesized in six steps. A comparison of synthetic steps to reach PEGylated sensitizers bound to fluorinated silica and a previously reported Teflon/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanocomposite ( Ghosh, G. et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2015, 119, 4155- 4164) was made. The hydrolytic stability of the attached PEGs and the extent to which the PEG groups enhance solubility will also be discussed. The new triPEG-galloyl sensitizer has the potential for use in intraoperative pointsource photodynamic therapy which aims for precision treatment of residual disease. Schematic of the synthesis of a photoactive silica surface. It is composed of fluorinated silica connected to a photo-releasable sensitizer with short-chain PEGs.

Abstract
The therapeutic outcome of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with redaporfin (a fluorinated sulfonamide bacteriochlorin, F2BMet or LUZ11) was improved using Pluronic-based (P123, F127) formulations. Neither redaporfin encapsulated in Pluronic nor micelles alone exhibited cytotoxicity in a broad concentration range. Comprehensive in vitro studies against B16F10 melanoma cells showed that redaporfin-P123 micelles enhanced cellular uptake and increased oxidative stress compared with redaporfin-F127 or photosensitizer alone after short incubation times. ROS-sensitive fluorescent probes showed that the increased oxidative stress is due, at least in part, to a more efficient formation of hydroxyl radicals, and causes strong light-dose dependent apoptosis and necrosis. Tissue distribution and pharmacokinetic studies in tumor-bearing mice show that the Pluronic P123 formulation of redaporfin increases its bioavailability as well as the tumor-to-muscle and tumor-to-skin ratios, in comparison with Cremophor EL and Pluronic F127 formulations. Redaporfin in P123 was most successful in the PDT of C57BL/6J mice bearing subcutaneously implanted B16F10 melanoma tumors. Vascular-targeted PDT combining 1.5 mg kg(-1) redaporfin in P123 with a light dose of 74 J cm(-2) led to 100% complete cures (i.e., no tumor regrowth over one year post-treatment). This remarkable result reveals that modification of redaporfin with Pluronic block copolymers overcomes the resistance of melanoma cells to PDT possibly via increased tumor selectivity and enhanced ROS generation.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles with combined diagnostic and therapeutic functions show great promise in nanomedicine. Herein, we develop an organic photodynamic therapy (PDT) system based on polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated nanomicelles conjugated with ∼20% chlorin e6 (PEG-Ce 6 nanomicelles), which functions as an optical imaging agent, as well as a PDT agent. The formed PEG-Ce 6 nanomicelles with the size of ∼20 nm were highly stable in various physiological solutions for a long time. Moreover, Ce 6 can also be a (64)Cu chelating agent for in vivo positron emission tomography (PET). By simply mixing, more than 90% of (64)Cu was chelator-free labeled on PEG-Ce 6 nanomicelles, and they also showed high stability in serum conditions. Both fluorescence imaging and PET imaging revealed that PEG-Ce 6 nanomicelles displayed high tumor uptake (13.7 ± 2.2%ID/g) after intravenous injection into tumor-bearing mice at the 48 h time point. In addition, PEG-Ce 6 nanomicelles exhibited excellent PDT properties upon laser irradiation, confirming the theranostic properties of PEG-Ce 6 nanomicelles for imaging and treatment of cancer. In addition, PDT was not shown to render any appreciable toxicity. This work presents a theranostic platform based on polymer nanomicelles with great potential in multimodality imaging-guided photodynamic cancer therapy.
