Transferrin-conjugated UiO-66 metal organic frameworks loaded with doxorubicin and indocyanine green: A multimodal nanoplatform for chemo-photothermal-photodynamic approach in cancer management. Int J Pharm 2024; 665:124665. [PMID: 39236772 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2024] [Revised: 08/21/2024] [Accepted: 09/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms have been popular in controlled drug delivery research because of their ability to differentiate the tumor microenvironment from the normal tissue environment in a spatiotemporally controllable manner. The synergistic therapeutic approach of combining cancer chemotherapy with photothermal tumor ablation has improved the therapeutic efficacy of cancer therapeutics. In this study, a UiO-66 metal organic framework (MOF)-based system loaded with doxorubicin (DOX), surface decorated with the photothermal agents indocyanine green (ICG) and polydopamine (PDA), and conjugated with transferrin (TF) was successfully designed to operate as a responsive system to pH changes, featuring photothermal capabilities and target specificity for the purpose of treating breast cancer. The synthesized nanoplatform benefits from its uniform size, excellent DOX encapsulation efficiency (91.66 %), and efficient pH/NIR-mediated controlled release of the drug. In vitro photothermal studies indicate excellent photothermal stability of the formulation even after 6 on-off cycles of NIR irradiation. The in vitro cytotoxicity assessment using an NIR laser (808 nm) revealed that the DOX-loaded functionalized UiO-66 nanocarriers had outstanding inhibitory effects on 4T1 cells because of synergistic chemo-photo therapies, with no substantial toxicity by the carriers. In addition, cellular uptake evaluations revealed that UiO-DOX-ICG@PDA-TF could specifically target 4T1 cells on the basis of receptor-mediated internalization of transferrin receptors. Additionally, in vivo toxicity studies in Wistar rats indicated no signs of significant toxicity. The UiO-based nanoformulations effectively inhibited and destroyed cancer cells under 808 nm laser irradiation because of their minimal toxicity, strong biocompatibility, and outstanding synergistic chemo/photothermal/photodynamic treatment.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysregulation plays a significant role in the carcinogenesis. On the other hand, its destabilization strongly represses the viability and metastatic potential of cancer cells. Photodynamic and photothermal therapies (PDT and PTT) target mitochondria effectively, providing innovative and non-invasive anticancer therapeutic modalities. Cyanine dyes, with strong mitochondrial selectivity, show significant potential in enhancing PDT and PTT. The potential and limitations of cyanine dyes for mitochondrial PDT and PTT are discussed, along with their applications in combination therapies, theranostic techniques, and optimal delivery systems. Additionally, novel approaches for sonodynamic therapy using photoactive cyanine dyes are presented, highlighting advances in cancer treatment.

Abstract
We report a simple and efficient synthetic method for polydopamine (PDA)-coated solid silica nanoparticles (s-SiO2@PDA NPs) encapsulating anionic near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dyes through physical adsorption. Despite the use of anionic NIR fluorescent dyes indocyanine green (ICG) and 2-[2-[2-chloro-3-[2-[1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl)-2H-indol-2-ylidene]-ethylidene]-1-cyclohexen-1-yl]-ethenyl]-3,3-dimethyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl)-3H-indolium (IR-783), they were successfully immobilized on anionic s-SiO2@PDA NP surfaces under acidic aqueous conditions. After embedding in the s-SiO2@PDA NPs, the fluorescence of ICG was almost quenched, while a diminished IR-783 fluorescence remained observable. The fluorescence intensity of IR-783 embedded in s-SiO2@PDA NPs remained almost constant over 2 weeks in a pseudobiological solution, with a slight reduction due to dye degradation and dye leakage from the s-SiO2@PDA NPs. Finally, the s-SiO2@PDA NPs encapsulating IR-783 were successfully used for NIR fluorescent imaging of African green monkey kidney cells.

Abstract
This work introduces a novel multifunctional system called UPIPF (upconversion-polydopamine-indocyanine-polyethylene-folic) for upconversion luminescent (UCL) imaging of cancer cells using near-infrared (NIR) illumination. The system demonstrates efficient inhibition of human hepatoma (HepG2) cancer cells through a combination of NIR-triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) and enhanced photothermal therapy (PTT). Initially, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP) are synthesized using a simple thermal decomposition method. To improve their biocompatibility and aqueous dispersibility, polydopamine (PDA) is introduced to the UCNP via a ligand exchange technique. Indocyanine green (ICG) molecules are electrostatically attached to the surface of the UCNP-polydopamine (UCNP@PDAs) complex to enhance the PDT and PTT effects. Moreover, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified folic acid (FA) is incorporated into the UCNP-polydopamine-indocyanine-green (UCNP@PDA-ICGs) nanoparticles to enhance their targeting capability against cancer cells. The excellent UCL properties of these UCNP enable the final UCNP@PDA-ICG-PEG-FA nanoparticles (referred to as UPIPF) to serve as a potential candidate for efficient anticancer drug delivery, real-time imaging, and early diagnosis of cancer cells. Furthermore, the UPIPF system exhibits PDT-assisted PTT effects, providing a convenient approach for efficient cancer cell inhibition (more than 99% of cells are killed). The prepared UPIPF system shows promise for early diagnosis and simultaneous treatment of malignant cancers.

Abstract
In this paper, we synthesized selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) that could be effectively excited by pure yellow light (YL) source to enhance antibacterial ability. Meanwhile, YL could also play the role of anti-inflammatory and promote wound healing. In addition, in order to overcome the problem of low penetration depth of photodynamic therapy (PDT), SeNPs were encapsulated with polyethylenimine (PEI), then modified with the sound sensitive agent indocyanine green (ICG), realizing the combined photoacoustic therapy to promote the healing of wounds infected by drug-resistant bacteria. The antibacterial efficiency of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) reached more than 99% in in vitro and in vivo experiments within 10 min, which could safely and quickly kill drug-resistant bacteria to repair and heal wounds.

Abstract
Molecular imaging technologies are increasingly used to diagnose, monitor, and guide treatment of i.e., cancer. In this review, the current status and future prospects of the use of molecular imaging as an instrument to help realize precision surgery is addressed with focus on the main components that form the conceptual basis of intraoperative molecular imaging. Paramount for successful interventions is the relevance and accessibility of surgical targets. In addition, selection of the correct combination of imaging agents and modalities is critical to visualize both microscopic and bulk disease sites with high affinity and specificity. In this context developments within engineering/imaging physics continue to drive the growth of image-guided surgery. Particularly important herein is enhancement of sensitivity through improved contrast and spatial resolution, features that are critical if sites of cancer involvement are not to be overlooked during surgery. By facilitating the connection between surgical planning and surgical execution, digital surgery technologies such as computer-aided visualization nicely complement these technologies. The complexity of image guidance, combined with the plurality of technologies that are becoming available, also drives the need for evaluation mechanisms that can objectively score the impact that technologies exert on the performance of healthcare professionals and outcome improvement for patients.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by poor prognosis and high mortality. The treatment of HCC is closely related to the stage, and the early-stage of HCC patients usually accompanies a more long-term survival rate after clinical treatment. Hence, there are critical needs to develop effective imaging agents with superior diagnostic precision for HCC detection at an early stage. Recently, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) based imaging agents have gained extensive attentions in HCC detection, which can serve as a multifunctional nanoplatform with controllable size and facile surface functionalization. This perspective summarizes recent advances in MSNs based imaging agents for HCC detection by the incorporation of several clinical imaging modalities. Multi-modal imaging system has been developed for higher spatial resolution and sensitivity. Even though some limitations and challenges need to be overcome, we envision the development of novel MSNs based imaging agents will offer great potential applications in clinical HCC detection.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have demonstrated several advantages for biomedical applications, including for the development of multifunctional agents as innovative medicine. Silica nanoparticles hold a special position among the various types of functional nanoparticles, due to their unique structural and functional properties. The recent development of silica nanoparticles has led to a new trend in light-based nanomedicines. The application of light provides many advantages for in vivo imaging and therapy of certain diseases, including cancer. Mesoporous and non-porous silica nanoparticles have high potential for light-based nanomedicine. Each silica nanoparticle has a unique structure, which incorporates various functions to utilize optical properties. Such advantages enable silica nanoparticles to perform powerful and advanced optical imaging, from the in vivo level to the nano and micro levels, using not only visible light but also near-infrared light. Furthermore, applications such as photodynamic therapy, in which a lesion site is specifically irradiated with light to treat it, have also been advancing. Silica nanoparticles have shown the potential to play important roles in the integration of light-based diagnostics and therapeutics, termed "photo-theranostics". Here, we review the recent development and progress of non-porous silica nanoparticles toward cancer "photo-theranostics".

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21134789. [PMID: 32640753 PMCID: PMC7369735 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21134789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Photothermal therapy possesses great advantages for the treatment of drug-resistant tumors. Herein, Near Infrared (NIR)-triggered photothermal nanoparticles were developed through loading indocyanine green (ICG), a kind of NIR dye, into amino group-modified silica nanoparticles (SiO2-NH2 NPs). SiO2-NH2 NPs were prepared with immobilization of the amino groups into the framework of silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) by employing (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES). Before and after the modification of the amino group, the particle sizes of SiO2 NPs showed similar value, around 100 nm. ICG was further adsorbed into SiO2-NH2 NPs by electrostatic attraction to enable SiO2-NH2@ICG NPs as a kind of photothermal agent. The loading rate of ICG to SiO2-NH2 was greatly increased compared to unmodified SiO2, and the stability of ICG was also improved. Moreover, the SiO2-NH2@ICG NPs exhibited efficient photothermal effects due to ICG transforming laser power into local heat through the connected ICG, when NIR laser irradiation turned on for a couple of minutes. Finally, the in vitro antitumor efficacy of SiO2-NH2@ICG NPs was investigated by recording cell proliferation rate and further chronicled the apoptotic morphology evidence by a Calcein-AM/PI fluorescent staining assay, indicating the efficient photothermal targeted therapy for the HepG2 tumor cells.

Abstract
Today, it has become apparent that innovative treatment methods, including those involving simultaneous diagnosis and therapy, are particularly in demand in modern cancer medicine. The development of nanomedicine offers new ways of increasing the therapeutic index and minimizing side effects. The development of photoactivatable dyes that are effectively absorbed in the first transparency window of biological tissues (700-900 nm) and are capable of fluorescence and heat generation has led to the emergence of phototheranostics, an approach that combines the bioimaging of deep tumors and metastases and their photothermal treatment. The creation of near-infrared (NIR) light-activated agents for sensitive fluorescence bioimaging and phototherapy is a priority in phototheranostics, because the excitation of drugs and/or diagnostic substances in the near-infrared region exhibits advantages such as deep penetration into tissues and a weak baseline level of autofluorescence. In this review, we focus on NIR-excited dyes and discuss prospects for their application in photothermal therapy and the diagnosis of cancer. Particular attention is focused on the consideration of new multifunctional nanoplatforms for phototheranostics which allow one to achieve a synergistic effect in combinatorial photothermal, photodynamic, and/or chemotherapy, with simultaneous fluorescence, acoustic, and/or magnetic resonance imaging.

Excitation Transfer in Hybrid Nanostructures of Colloidal Ag 2S/TGA Quantum Dots and Indocyanine Green J-Aggregates. J Fluoresc 2020; 30:581-589.

Abstract
The regularities of the electron excitations exchange in hybrid associates of colloidal Ag2S quantum dots, passivated with thioglycolic acid (Ag2S/TGA QDs) with an average size of 2.2 and 3.7 nm with Indocyanine Green J-aggregates (ICG) were studied in this work by methods of absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. It was shown that IR luminescence sensitization of Ag2S/TGA QDs with an average size of 3.7 nm in the region of 1040 nm is possible due to non-radiative resonance energy transfer from Ag2S/TGA QDs with an average size of 2.2 nm and luminescence peak at 900 nm using ICG J-aggregate as an exciton bridge. The sensitization efficiency is 0.33. This technique provides a transition from the first therapeutic window (NIR-I, 700-950 nm) to the second (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm). It can allow high to increase the imaging in vivo resolution.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Fluorescent silica nanoparticles have been extensively utilised in a broad range of biological applications and are facilitated by their predictable, well-understood, flexible chemistry and apparent biocompatibility. The ability to couple various siloxane precursors with fluorescent dyes and to be subsequently incorporated into silica nanoparticles has made it possible to engineer these fluorophores-doped nanomaterials to specific optical requirements in biological experimentation. Consequently, this class of nanomaterial has been used in applications across immunodiagnostics, drug delivery and human-trial bioimaging in cancer research.
Main body
This review summarises the state-of-the-art of the use of dye-doped silica nanoparticles in bioapplications and firstly accounts for the common nanoparticle synthesis methods, surface modification approaches and different bioconjugation strategies employed to generate biomolecule-coated nanoparticles. The use of dye-doped silica nanoparticles in immunoassays/biosensing, bioimaging and drug delivery is then provided and possible future directions in the field are highlighted. Other non-cancer-related applications involving silica nanoparticles are also briefly discussed. Importantly, the impact of how the protein corona has changed our understanding of NP interactions with biological systems is described, as well as demonstrations of its capacity to be favourably manipulated.
Conclusions
Dye-doped silica nanoparticles have found success in the immunodiagnostics domain and have also shown promise as bioimaging agents in human clinical trials. Their use in cancer delivery has been restricted to murine models, as has been the case for the vast majority of nanomaterials intended for cancer therapy. This is hampered by the need for more human-like disease models and the lack of standardisation towards assessing nanoparticle toxicity. However, developments in the manipulation of the protein corona have improved the understanding of fundamental bio–nano interactions, and will undoubtedly assist in the translation of silica nanoparticles for disease treatment to the clinic.

Abstract
Marking colon tumors for surgery is normally done with the use of India ink. However, non-fluorescent dyes such as India ink cannot be imaged below the tissue surface and there is evidence for physiological complications such as abscess, intestinal perforation and inconsistency of dye injection. A novel infrared marker was developed using FDA approved indocyanine green (ICG) dye and ultrathin hollow silica nanoshells (ICG/HSS). Using a positively charged amine linker, ICG was non-covalently adsorbed onto the nanoparticle surface. For ultra-thin wall 100 nm diameter silica shells, a bimodal ICG layer of < 3 nm is was formed. Conversely, for thicker walls on 2 μm diameter silica shells, the ICG layer was only bound to the outer surface and was 6 nm thick. In vitro testing of fluorescent emission showed the particles with the thinner coating were considerably more efficient, which is consistent with self-quenching reducing emission shown in the thicker ICG coatings. Ex-vivo testing showed that ICG bound to the 100 nm hollow silica shells was visible even under 1.5 cm of tissue. In vivo experiments showed that there was no diffusion of the ICG/nanoparticle marker in tissue and it remained imageable for as long as 12 days.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light harvesting has enormous importance for different potential applications in the modern era of research. Some NIR cyanine dyes such as IR820 have achieved great success in energy harvesting and cancer therapy. However, their action is limited for low photostability, considerable thermal degradation, short circulation times, and nonspecific biodistribution. Our present study is an attempt to overcome such limitations by attaching a model cyanine dye IR820 with ZnO nanoparticles. We prepared an IR820-ZnO nanohybrid and characterized it using microscopic and optical spectroscopic tools. Thermogravimetric analysis depicted greater thermal stability of the IR820-ZnO nanohybrid compared to free dye. We explored the enhancement in the photostability of IR820 upon nanohybrid formation. We detected generation of photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide, singlet oxygen, and so forth using appropriate molecular probes. The formation of IR820-ZnO nanohybrid reduced production of photoinduced singlet oxygen. However, it revealed an alternative trend in overall ROS formation (increases total ROS) under red light illumination. To correlate the enhanced photostability of IR820 on the ZnO surface, we explored excited-state dynamical processes at the interface in nanohybrids. We illustrated the photoinduced excited-state electron-transfer process from the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of IR820 to the conduction band of ZnO. This photoelectron-transfer process enhances the production of ROS and decreases the formation of singlet oxygen that altogether leads to improvement in photostability and overall activity. A quencher of singlet oxygen sodium azide (NaN3) was used to further confirm the direct association of singlet oxygen generation with the photostability issue of IR820. Also, ZnO is able to deliver the dye selectively in acidic environment, which suggests its diseased site-specific targeted activity. Our results provide promising improvement for potential use of IR820 through formation of a nanohybrid that could be translated for other NIR cyanine dyes.

Abstract
In recent times, photo-induced therapeutics have attracted enormous interest from researchers due to such attractive properties as preferential localization, excellent tissue penetration, high therapeutic efficacy, and minimal invasiveness, among others. Numerous photosensitizers have been considered in combination with light to realize significant progress in therapeutics. Along this line, indocyanine green (ICG), a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved near-infrared (NIR, >750 nm) fluorescent dye, has been utilized in various biomedical applications such as drug delivery, imaging, and diagnosis, due to its attractive physicochemical properties, high sensitivity, and better imaging view field. However, ICG still suffers from certain limitations for its utilization as a molecular imaging probe in vivo, such as concentration-dependent aggregation, poor in vitro aqueous stability and photodegradation due to various physicochemical attributes. To overcome these limitations, much research has been dedicated to engineering numerous multifunctional polymeric composites for potential biomedical applications. In this review, we aim to discuss ICG-encapsulated polymeric nanoconstructs, which are of particular interest in various biomedical applications. First, we emphasize some attractive properties of ICG (including physicochemical characteristics, optical properties, metabolic features, and other aspects) and some of its current limitations. Next, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview highlighting recent reports on various polymeric nanoparticles that carry ICG for light-induced therapeutics with a set of examples. Finally, we summarize with perspectives highlighting the significant outcome, and current challenges of these nanocomposites.

Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration-approved Indocyanine Green can be used as a photosensitizer to kill cancer cells selectively. Although indocyanine green is advantageous as a photosensitizer in terms of strong absorption in the near-infrared region, indocyanine green-based cancer treatment is still not approved as a clinical method. Some reasons for this are aggregation at high concentrations, rapid clearance of the photosensitizer from the body, low singlet oxygen quantum yield, and the uncertainty concerning its action mechanism. This in vitro study focuses on two of these points: "what is the cell inhibition mechanism of indocyanine green-based therapy?" and "how the dose-dependent aggregation problem of indocyanine green alters its cell inhibition efficiency?" The following experiments were conducted to provide insight into these points. Nontoxic doses of indocyanine green and near-infrared laser were determined. The aggregation behavior of indocyanine green was verified through experiments. The singlet oxygen quantum yield of indocyanine green at different concentrations were calculated. Various indocyanine green and energy densities of near-infrared light were applied to prostate cancer, neuroblastoma, and colon cancer cells. An MTT assay was performed at the end of the first, second, and third days following the treatments to determine the cell viability. Temperature changes in the medium during laser exposure were recorded. ROS generation following the treatment was verified by using a Total Reactive Oxygen Species detection kit. An apoptosis detection test was performed to establish the cell death mechanism and, finally, the cellular uptakes of the three different cells were measured. According to the results, indocyanine green-based therapy causes cell viability decrease for three cancer cell lines by means of excessive reactive oxygen species production. Different cells have different sensitivities to the therapy possibly because of the differentiation level and structural differences. The singlet oxygen generation of indocyanine green decreases at high concentrations because of aggregation. Nevertheless, better cancer cell killing effect was observed at higher photosensitizer concentrations. This result reveals that the cellular uptake of indocyanine green was determinant for better cancer cell inhibition.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) is capable of inducing a photothermal effect and the production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species for cancer therapy. However, the major challenge in applying ICG molecules for antitumor therapy is associated with their instability in aqueous conditions and rapid clearance from blood circulation, which causes insufficient bioavailability at the tumor site. Herein, we conjugated ICG molecules with Prussian blue nanoparticles enclosing a Fe3O4 nanocore, which was facilitated by cationic polyethyleneimine via electrostatic adsorption. The nanocarrier-loaded ICG formed stable aggregates that enhanced cellular uptake and prevented fluorescence quenching. Moreover, the strong superparamagnetism of the Fe3O4 core in the obtained nanocomposites further improved cellular internalization of the drugs guided by a localized magnetic field. The therapeutic efficacy of this nanoplatform was evaluated using tumor models established in nude mice, which demonstrated remarkable tumor ablation in vivo due to strong photothermal/photodynamic effects. This study provides promising evidence that this multifunctional nanoagent might function as an efficient mediator for combining photothermal and photodynamic cancer therapy.

[PMID: 29121607 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2017.10.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2017] [Revised: 10/16/2017] [Accepted: 10/16/2017] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
The efficiency of an amino acid catalyzed seed regrowth technique (ACSRT) in synthesizing twelve fluorescently labeled core-shell silica nanoparticles (FLSNPs) with tunable sizes, tailored hydrophobicity, low polydispersity as well as high labeling efficiency and minimized dye leakage using different combinations of organosilicate monomers and fluorophores have been systematically investigated in this report. The utilization of some of these FLSNPs in some applications that are facilitated by hydrophobicity such as developing and visualizing latent fingerprints (LFPs) on different surfaces was also investigated. The non-specific binding affinity of the developed nanoparticles to human serum albumin (HSA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) has also been studied. Fluorescein, fluorescein isothiocyanate and its more hydrophilic butenamine derivative (WA6) have been used in this study. Also, the alkoxysilane precursor, tetraethoxyorthosilicate (TEOS) and its binary mixture with phenyltriethoxysilane (PTEOS) or 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) have been used in preparing the FLSNPs with tailored compositions for the core and shell of the nanoparticles. The mean diameters of the PTEOS-coated FLSNPs were between 33.4±5.9 and 42.2±10.8 nm as shown by the SEM measurements. The obtained results highlight the advantages of having a hydrophobic surface along with proper selection of the monomers forming the core to match the properties of the fluorescent reporters for clear detection of LFPs even using dyes of low hydrophobicity such as fluorescein and WA6. Furthermore, some of the developed FLSNPs were compared with bare silica nanoparticles in terms of nonspecific protein adsorption and hemolysis. The obtained results proved that the selected FLSNPs had a superior hemocompatibility in comparison with bare silica nanoparticles. These FLSNPs could also be used in some bio-related and diagnostic applications such as immunoassays and cell imaging purposes.

Abstract
In order to prevent the aggregation of ICG and enhance its stability, a novel nanoplatform (TiO2:Yb,Ho,F-β-CD@ICG/HA) was designed for NIR-induced phototherapy along with multi-mode imaging(UCL/MRI/Flu). In this nanosysytem: TiO2:Yb,Ho,F was used as upconversion materials and applied in vivo for the first time; β-CD acted as a "protective umbrella" to load separated ICG and avoid the low phototherapy efficiency because of its aggregation; HA was the capping agent of β-CD to prevent ICG unexpected leaking and a target to recognize CD44 receptor. The nanosystem exhibited excellent size (~200 nm) and photo- and thermal-stability, preferable reactive oxygen yield and temperature response (50.4 °C) under 808 nm laser. It could efficiently target and suppress tumor growth. The imaging ability (UCL/MRI) of TiO2:Yb,Ho,F could facilitate diagnosis of the tumor, especially for deep tissues. Altogether, our work successfully improved the phototherapy efficacy through incorporating the ICG into the cavity of β-CD and applied TiO2:Yb,Ho,F for upconversion imaging in vivo.

Abstract
Near infrared (NIR) fluorescent molecules and nanosized structures can serve as potential optical probes for image-guided removal of small tumor nodules (≲ 1 mm diameter). Although indocyanine green (ICG) remains as the only FDA-approved NIR dye, other organic dyes are under extensive development for enhanced imaging capabilities. One such dye is BrCy106-NHS where bromine is substituted for aromatic structures in cyanine dyes. Herein, we investigate the absorption and fluorescence characteristics of ICG and BrCy106-NHS, and quantitatively assess their tumor imaging capabilities in free (non-encapsulated) and a nano-encapsulated form that utilizes the capsid protein (CP) from genome-depleted plant-infecting brome mosaic virus as the encapsulating shell. We refer to these nanoconstructs as optical viral ghosts (OVGs). For example, when fabricated at CP to dye concentration ratio of 200, value of the spectrally integrated fluorescence emission for BrCy106-NHS-doped OVGs is ∼60 times higher than that of ICG-doped OVGs. Our analysis of homogenized mice intraperitoneal tumors indicate that the averaged total fluorescence emission associated with the use of BrCy106-NHS-doped can be at least about 44 times greater than that of ICG-doped OVGs. Our results suggest that OVGs containing BrCy106-NHS may potentially serve as effective optical probes for tumor imaging.

Abstract
Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) dyes have recently emerged as promising tools for non-invasive imaging of different types of cancers. Here, we explored the potential utility of a NIRF DZ-1 dye, with dual imaging and tumour targeting functions, in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We showed the preferential uptake of DZ-1 by HCC cells in vitro and in derived subcutaneous/orthotopic tumour xenografts, accompanied by a minimal effect on normal cells. DZ-1 simplified tumour growth profiling as well, since we were able to correlate NIRF signals with tumour volume and/or tumour-emitting luminescence in mice. Using both orthotopic tumour transplantation and cirrhosis models in parallel, we demonstrated the ability of DZ-1 to differentiate liver tumour from cirrhosis. DZ-1 showed superiority in HCC imaging over indocyanine green by demonstrating significantly enhanced tumour-targeting specificity. At the cellular level, DZ-1 was mainly retained in mitochondria and lysosomes. Additionally, DZ-1 fluorescence spectroscopy has been used for the intraoperative navigation of rabbit liver cancer, to determine surgical margins. We showed that tumor hypoxia and select organic anion-transporting polypeptide genes mediate NIRF dye uptake in HCC, which was supported by clinical evidence. All these findings represent the first evidence that DZ-1 is an effective molecular probe for tumour-specific imaging in HCC, and provide insights into the development of a new generation of imaging agents for intraoperative guidance of cancer surgery.

Abstract
Here we report indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (ICG@HMSNP) as an activatable theranostic platform. Near-infrared fluorescence and singlet oxygen generation of ICG@HMSNP was effectively quenched (i.e. turned off) in its native state because of the fluorescence resonance energy transfer between ICG molecules. Therefore, ICG@HMSNP was nonfluorescent and nonphototoxic in the extracellular region. After the nanoparticles entered the cancer cells via endocytosis, they became highly fluorescent and phototoxic. In addition, intracellular uptake of ICG@HMSNP was 2.75 times higher than that of free ICG, resulting in an enhanced phototherapy of cancer.

Abstract
Many photoresponsive dyes have been utilized as imaging and photodynamic/photothermal therapy agents. Indocyanine green (ICG) is the only near-infrared region (NIR) organic dye for clinical applications approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration; however, the clinical application of ICG is limited by its poor aqueous solubility, low cancer specificity, and low sensitivity in cancer theranostics. To overcome these issues, a multifunctional nanoplatform based on hyaluronic acid (HA) and ICG-engineered metal-organic framework MIL-100(Fe) nanoparticles (MOF@HA@ICG NPs) was successfully developed for imaging-guided, anticancer photothermal therapy (PTT). The synthesized NPs showed a high loading content of ICG (40%), strong NIR absorbance, and photostability. The in vitro and in vivo imaging showed that the MOF@HA@ICG NPs exhibited greater cellular uptake in CD44-positive MCF-7 cells and enhanced tumor accumulation in xenograft tumors due to their targeting capability, compared to MOF@ICG NPs (non-HA-targeted) and free ICG. The in vitro photothermal toxicity and in vivo PTT treatments demonstrated that MOF@HA@ICG NPs could effectively inhibit the growth of MCF-7 cells/xenograft tumors. These results suggest that MOF@HA@ICG NPs could be served as a new promising theranostic nanoplatform for improved anticancer PTT through cancer-specific and image-guided drug delivery.

Abstract
A stem cell tracking system is in high demand for the determination of cell destinations and for the validation of cell therapeutic efficacy in regenerative transplantation. To date, near-infrared (NIR) imaging technology has received considerable attention in cell behavior monitoring, owing to its patient compatibility, easy accessibility and cost effectiveness. Conventionally, in vivo cell tracking has been visualized by direct in-cell staining with NIR, where it may be achieved by complicated genetic engineering. Such genetic amendment techniques have suffered from serious challenges, which can destroy a cell's metabolism and can accidentally incur unexpected carcinoma. Herein we demonstrate a novel cell nano-modulation method for noninvasive stem cell monitoring. It is simply achieved by conjugating stem cells with lipid-supported, NIR-tagged, polymeric nanoparticles. These engineered cells, which are designated as NIR-labeled light-emitting stem cells (LESCs), maintain their biochemical functionality (i.e., differentiation, quantum efficacy, etc.) even after conjugation. LESCs were used for in situ stem cell monitoring at inoculation sites. It is speculated that the LESC technique could provide a new preparative methodology for in vivo cell tracking in advanced diagnostic medicine, where cell behavior is a critical issue.

Abstract
To improve patient outcome and decrease overall health-care costs, highly sensitive and precise detection of a tumor is required for its accurate diagnosis and efficient therapy; however, this remains a challenge when using conventional single mode imaging. Here, we successfully designed a near-infrared (NIR)-response photothermal therapy (PTT) platform (Au@MSNs-ICG) for the location, diagnosis, and NIR/computer tomography (CT) bimodal imaging-guided PTT of tumor tissues, using gold (Au) nanospheres coated with indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), which would have high sensitivity and precision. The nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited good monodispersity, fluorescence stability, biocompatibility, and NIR/CT signaling and had a preferable temperature response under NIR laser irradiation in vitro or in vivo. Using a combination of NIR/CT imaging and PTT treatment, the tumor could be accurately positioned and thoroughly eradicated in vivo by Au@MSNs-ICG injection. Hence, the multifunctional NPs could play an important role in facilitating the accurate treatment of tumors in future clinical applications.

Abstract
Image-guided surgery (IGS) using fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) has the potential to substantially impact patient treatment. The use of fluorescence imaging provides surgeons with real-time feedback on the location of diseased tissue using safe, low-cost imaging agents and instrumentation. Fluorescent NPs are likely to play a role as they are capable of taking advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect and can be modified to avoid clearance, increase circulation time, and specifically target tumors. Clinical trials of IGS using the FDA-approved fluorophores indocyanine green and methylene blue have already shown preliminary successes, and incorporation of fluorescent NPs will likely improve detection by providing higher signal to background ratio and reducing false-positive rates through active targeting. Preclinical development of fluorescent NP formulations is advancing rapidly, with strategies ranging from passive targeting to active targeting of cell surface receptors, creating pH-responsive NPs, and increasing cell uptake through cleavable proteins. This collective effort could lead to clinical trials using fluorescent NPs in the near future.

Abstract
A class of near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) heptamethine cyanine dyes that are taken up and accumulated specifically in cancer cells without chemical conjugation have recently emerged as promising tools for tumor imaging and targeting. In addition to their fluorescence and nuclear imaging-based tumor-imaging properties, these dyes can be developed as drug carriers to safely deliver chemotherapy drugs to tumors. They can also be used as effective agents for photodynamic therapy with remarkable tumoricidal activity via photodependent cytotoxic activity. The preferential uptake of dyes into cancer but not normal cells is co-operatively mediated by the prevailing activation of a group of organic anion-transporting polypeptides on cancer cell membranes, as well as tumor hypoxia and increased mitochondrial membrane potential in cancer cells. Such mechanistic explorations have greatly advanced the current application and future development of NIRF dyes and their derivatives as anticancer theranostic agents. This review summarizes current knowledge and emerging advances in NIRF dyes, including molecular characterization, photophysical properties, multimodal development and uptake mechanisms, and their growing potential for preclinical and clinical use.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) is a cyanine compound that displays fluorescent properties in the near infrared region. This dye is employed for numerous indications but nowadays its major application field regards tumour diagnosis and treatments. Optical imaging by near infrared fluorescence provides news opportunities for oncologic surgery. The imaging of ICG can be useful for intraoperative identification of several solid tumours and metastases, and sentinel lymph node detection. In addition, ICG can be used as an agent for the destruction of malignant tissue, by virtue of the production of reactive oxygen species and/or induction of a hyperthermia effect under irradiation. Nevertheless, ICG shows several drawbacks, which limit its clinical application. Several formulative strategies have been studied to overcome these problems. The rationale of the development of ICG containing drug delivery systems is to enhance the in vivo stability and biodistribution profile of this dye, allowing tumour accumulation and resulting in better efficacy. In this review, ICG containing nano-sized carriers are classified based on their chemical composition and structure. In addition to nanosystems, different formulations including hydrogel, microsystems and others loaded with ICG will be illustrated. In particular, this report describes the preparation, in vitro characterization and in vivo application of ICG platforms for cancer imaging and treatment. The promising results of all systems confirm their clinical utility but further studies are required prior to evaluating the formulations in human trials.

Phase-0/phase-I study of dye-loaded lipid nanoparticles for near-infrared fluorescence imaging in healthy dogs. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2016; 100:85-93.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using FDA-approved indocyanine green (ICG) has been the subject of numerous studies during the past few years. It could constitute a potentially exciting new paradigm shift in veterinary oncology, especially to develop in vivo fluorescence imaging diagnostics and surgery guidance methods. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacologic and toxicological characteristics in healthy beagle dogs of LipImage™ 815, a formulation made of NIR-dye-loaded lipid nanoparticles. The initial dosage for the evaluation of biodistribution was extrapolated from data in mice and then adapted to define the more adapted dose (MAD) according to the fluorescence results obtained in 5 dogs using a Fluobeam® 800 imaging device (phase 0 study). A single dose acute toxicity study was then performed (3 dogs, phase I study). Before the systemic administration of LipImage™ 815, the dogs presented a very mild residual fluorescence, particularly in the liver and kidneys. After injection, the plasma fluorescence continuously decreased, and the signal was relatively homogeneously distributed throughout the different organs, though more pronounced in the liver and to a lesser extent in the steroid-rich organs (adrenal, ovaries), intestines, lymph nodes and kidneys. A MAD of 2.0μg/kg was found. No evidence of acute or delayed general, hepatic, renal or hematologic toxicity was observed at 1-fold, 5-fold or 10-fold MAD. The results of this phase-0/phase-I study showed that an optimal dosage of LipImage™ 815 of 2.0μg/kg allowed the achievement of a fluorescence signal suitable for surgery guidance application without any acute side effects.

Abstract
Nanocarriers play an important role in improving the photo- and thermal-stability of photosensitizers to gain better pharmacokinetics behavior in tumor photothermal therapy. Herein, PEGylated chitosan (CG-PEG; PEG: polyethylene glycol) nanoparticles with ultrasmall size (∼5 nm) were prepared through a water-in-oil reverse microemulsion method using genipin as a cross-linker. Particle size and zeta-potential can be tuned by varying the molar ratio between chitosan amino groups and genipin. CG-PEG-ICG (ICG: indocyanine green) nanoparticles were fabricated by adding ICG to CG-PEG aqueous solution through a self-assembly method via electrostatic interaction. The resultant CG-PEG-ICG nanoparticles exhibited improved photo- and thermal-stability, good biocompatibility, and low toxicity. When irradiated with a laser, the cells incubated with CG-PEG-ICG nanoparticles showed very low cell viability (15%), indicating the CG-PEG-ICG nanoparticles possess high in vitro photothermal toxicity. Moreover, the CG-PEG nanocarriers can significantly alter the biodistribution and prolong the retention time of ICG in the mice body after intravenous injection. In vivo photothermal study of tumors injected with CG-PEG-ICG nanoparticles containing ICG at a concentration greater than 100 μg·mL(-1) (100 μL) induced irreversible tissue damage. The growth of U87 tumors was dramatically inhibited by CG-PEG-ICG nanoparticles, demonstrating that the CG-PEG nanoparticles may act as potential ICG nanocarriers for effective in vivo tumor photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Two near infrared cyanine dyes, DiD (1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine perchlorate) and ICG (Indocyanine Green) were loaded in lipid nanoparticles (LNP). DiD-LNP and ICG-LNP presented similar physicochemical characteristics (hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity, zeta potential), encapsulation efficiency, and colloidal stability when stored in PBS buffer. However, whereas DiD had similar biodistribution than cholesteryl-1-(14)C-oleate ([(14)C]CHO, a constituent of the nanoparticle used as a reference radiotracer), ICG displayed a different biodistribution pattern, similar to that of the free dye, indicative of its immediate leakage from the nanovector after blood injection. NMR spectroscopy using Proton NOE (Nuclear Overhauser Effect) measurements showed that the localization of the dye in the lipid nanoparticles was slightly different: ICG, more amphiphilic than DiD, was found both inside the lipid core and at particle interface, whereas DiD, more hydrophobic, appeared exclusively located inside the particle core. The ICG release rate from the particles was 7% per 1 month under storage conditions (4 °C, dark, 10% of lipids), whereas no leakage could be detected for DiD. ICG leakage increased considerably in the presence of BSA 40 g/L (45% leakage in 24h at 100 mg/mL of lipids), because of the high affinity of the fluorophore for plasma proteins. On the contrary, no DiD leakage was observed, until high dilution of the nanoparticles which triggered their dissociation (45% leakage in 24h at 1 mg/mL of lipids). Altogether, the subtle difference in dye localization into the nanoparticles, the partial dissociation of the LNP in diluted media, and more importantly the high ICG affinity for plasma proteins, accounted for the differences observed in the fluorescence biodistribution after tail vein injection of the dye-loaded nanoparticles.

Abstract
Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging is an attractive modality for early cancer detection with high sensitivity and multi-detection capability. Due to convenient modification by conjugating with moieties of interests, NIRF probes are ideal candidates for cancer targeted imaging. Additionally, the combinatory application of NIRF imaging and other imaging modalities that can delineate anatomical structures extends fluorometric determination of biomedical information. Moreover, nanoparticles loaded with NIRF dyes and anticancer agents contribute to the synergistic management of cancer, which integrates the advantage of imaging and therapeutic functions to achieve the ultimate goal of simultaneous diagnosis and treatment. Appropriate probe design with targeting moieties can retain the original properties of NIRF and pharmacokinetics. In recent years, great efforts have been made to develop new NIRF probes with better photostability and strong fluorescence emission, leading to the discovery of numerous novel NIRF probes with fine photophysical properties. Some of these probes exhibit tumoricidal activities upon light radiation, which holds great promise in photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, and photoimmunotherapy. This review aims to provide a timely and concise update on emerging NIRF dyes and multifunctional agents. Their potential uses as agents for cancer specific imaging, lymph node mapping, and therapeutics are included. Recent advances of NIRF dyes in clinical use are also summarized.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) is an optical contrast agent commonly used for a variety of imaging applications. However, certain limitations of the free dye molecule, concerning its low stability, uncontrolled aggregation and lack of targeting ability, have limited its use. Presented here is a method of embedding ICG in a novel polymer/protein hybrid nanocarrier so as to overcome the above inherent drawbacks of the free molecule. The hybrid nanocarrier consists of a non-toxic and biocompatible polyacrylamide nanoparticle (PAA NP) matrix that incorporates human serum albumin (HSA). This nanocarrier was synthesized through pre-conjugation with HSA and amine functionalized monomer, followed by polymerization using biodegradable cross-linkers, in a water-in-oil emulsion. The ICG dye is loaded into the HSA conjugated PAA nanoparticles (HSA-PAA NPs) through post-loading. Compared to the PAA polymer matrix, the presence of hydrophobic pockets in the HSA-PAA NPs further increases the chemical and physical stability of ICG. This is manifested by lowering the chemical degradation rates under physiological conditions, as well as by improving the thermal- and photo-stability of the dye. A targeting moiety, F3-Cys peptide, was attached to the surface of the NPs, for selective delivery to specific cancer cell lines. The suitability of these NPs for optical imaging applications was demonstrated by performing fluorescence imaging on a rat gliosarcoma cell line (9L). We also present the photoacoustic response of the HSA-PAA NPs, used as imaging contrast agents, in the spectral window of 700 nm to 800 nm.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) imaging of the lymphatic system offers a sensitive, versatile, and accurate lymph node mapping to locate the first, potentially metastatic, draining nodes in the operating room. Many luminescent nanoprobes have received great attention in this field, and the design of nontoxic and bright nanosystems is of crucial importance. Fluorescent NIR-emitting dye doped silica nanoparticles represent valuable platforms to fulfill these scopes, providing sufficient brightness, resistance to photobleaching, and hydrophilic nontoxic materials. Here, we synthesized these highly stable core-shell nanoparticles with a programmable surface charge positioning and determined the effect of these physicochemical properties on their in vivo behavior. In addition, we characterized their fluorescence kinetic profile in the right axillary lymph node (RALN) mapping. We found that nanoparticles with negative charges hidden by a PEG shell are more appropriate than those with external negative charges in the mapping of lymph nodes. We also demonstrated the efficient excretion of these nanostructures by the hepatobiliary route and their nontoxicity in mice up to 3 months postinjection. These results indicate the potential future development of these fluorescent nanosystems for LN mapping.
