Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology and biomedicine, numerous gadolinium (Gd)-based nanoparticle MRI contrast agents have been widely investigated. Due to the unique physicochemical properties of nanoparticles and the complexity of biological systems, the biosafety of Gd-based nanoparticle MRI contrast agents has been paid more and more attention. Herein, for the first time, we employed an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight/mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF/MS)-based metabolomics approach to investigate the potential toxicity of Gd-based nanoparticle MRI contrast agents. In this work, NaGdF4 and PEG-NaGdF4 nanoparticles were successfully constructed and selected as the representative Gd-based nanoparticle MRI contrast agents for the metabolomics analysis. Based on the results of metabolomics, more metabolic biomarkers and pathways were identified in the NaGdF4 group than those in the PEG-NaGdF4 group. Careful analysis of these metabolic biomarkers and pathways suggested that NaGdF4 nanoparticles induced disturbance of pyrimidine and purine metabolism, inflammatory response, and kidney injury to a certain extent compared with PEG-NaGdF4 nanoparticles. These results indicated that Gd-based nanoparticle contrast agents modified with PEG had better biosafety. Additionally, it was demonstrated that the discovery of characteristic metabolomics biomarkers induced by nanoparticles would provide a new approach for biosafety assessment and stimulate the development of nanomedicine.

Abstract
Last decade has witnessed impressive progress in the fields of medicine and bioengineering with the aid of nanomaterials. Nanomaterials are favoured for their improved bio-chemical as well as mechanical properties with tremendous applications in biomedical domains such as disease diagnosis, targeted drug delivery, medical imaging, in vitro diagnostics, designing innovatory cross-functional implants and regenerative tissue engineering. The current situation insists upon crafting nanotools that are capable of catering to biological needs and construct more efficient biomedical strategies. In the recent years, surface functionalization and capping with biomolecules has initiated substantial interest towards research. In this regard, search of suitable biofunctionalized nanoparticles seem to be like finding pearls from ocean. Conjugating biological molecules with inorganic materials has paved the way for unravelling innovative functional materials with dramatically improved properties and a wide range of uses. Inorganic nanoparticles such as metals, metal oxides, as well as quantum dots have been hybridised or conjugated with biomolecules such as proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. The present review reports on various biomolecule functionalized inorganic nanomaterials highlighting the biomolecule-inorganic nanoparticle interaction studies, the mechanism of functionalization, antimicrobial efficacy of the functionalised nanoconjugates and its use in various biomedical applications.

Abstract
In the past few decades, various vanadium compounds have displayed potential in cancer treatment. However, fast clearness in the body and possible toxicity of vanadium compounds has hindered their further development. Vanadium-based nanomaterials not only overcome these limitations, but take advantage of the internal properties of vanadium in photics and magnetics, which enable them as a multimodal platform for cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we first introduced the basic biological and pharmacological functions of vanadium compounds in treating cancer. Then, the synthesis routes of three vanadium-based nanomaterials were discussed, including vanadium oxides, 2D vanadium sulfides, carbides and nitrides: VmXn (X = S, C, N) and water-insoluble vanadium salts. Finally, we highlighted the applications of these vanadium-based nanomaterials as tumor therapeutic and diagnostic agents.

Abstract
A novel carbon dot-based luminescence probe for singlet oxygen (1O2) with a conventional optical detector has been implemented through the specific formation of electronically excited carbonyls from the breakdown of unstable endoperoxide intermediates, and its application in the real-time in vivo monitoring of 1O2 in photodynamic therapy (PDT) is achieved. More attractively, the relationship between the dynamics details of photosensitizer-generated 1O2 and the PDT efficacy has been established through a modified multiple-target survival model, enabling a direct and easy estimate of the surviving fraction of tumor cells from the generation dynamics of 1O2. Both in vitro and in vivo therapy results revealed that the rapid generation dynamics of 1O2 rather than its cumulative amount is responsible for better treatment efficacy in PDT. Overall, the deeper insight into the important roles of the generation dynamics of 1O2 in the PDT efficacy is irreplaceably advantageous in substantially reduced risks from deleterious treatment-related side effects by screening advanced photosensitizers and determining the light exposure end point.

Abstract
The non-invasive imaging of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is highly desired for clinical research due to the various GI tract bacterial infection-induced diseases. To treat GI tract infections, various antibiotics have been used in the clinic. The growing problem of multidrug-resistant bacteria calls for effective antibiotic alternatives. Here, we construct a dual-functional Bi2S3@mSiO2@Ag nanocomposite for simultaneous enhanced X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging and efficient antibacterial activity in the GI tract. The nanocomposite also has good stability, low cytotoxicity, and negligible hemolysis. Moreover, the investigation of the long-term toxicity and biodistribution of the Bi2S3@mSiO2@Ag nanocomposite after oral administration confirms its safety at the tested dosage. In particular, Ag nanoparticles (NPs) well dispersed on a silica substrate can reduce the antibacterial dosage and enhance the antibacterial activity of the Bi2S3@mSiO2@Ag nanocomposite. Furthermore, we have established bacterially infected enteritis animal models to confirm the antibacterial ability of the nanocomposite. This work opens up a new avenue for the design of a nanotheranostic agent that acts as both a contrast agent for the enhanced visualization of the GI tract and an antibacterial agent as an alternative to antibiotics.

Abstract
Uniform Nd3+-doped LuVO4 nanophosphors have been synthesized for the first time in literature by using a poliol-based method at 120 °C from Nd3+ and vanadate precursors. After optimizing the Nd doping level, these phosphors present intense luminescence in the near-infrared biological windows. The X-ray attenuation capacity of the optimum nanophosphor has been found to be higher than that of a commercial X-ray computed tomography contrast agent. After surface coating with polyacrylic acid, such nanoparticles present high colloidal stability in physiological pH medium and high cell viability. Because of these properties, the developed Nd3+-doped LuVO4 nanoparticles have potential applications as a bimodal probe for NIR luminescent bioimaging and X-ray computed tomography.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging is characterized by high spatial resolution and unsurpassed soft tissue discrimination. Development and characterization of both intrinsic and extrinsic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging probes in the last decade has further strengthened the pivotal role MR imaging holds in the assessment of cancer in preclinical and translational settings. Sophisticated chemical modifications of a variety of nanoparticulate probes hold the potential to deliver valuable multifunctional tools applicable in diagnostics and/or treatment in human oncology. MR imaging suffers from a lack of sensitivity achievable by, e.g., nuclear medicine imaging methods. Advantages of including additional functionality/functionalities in a probe suitable for MR imaging are thus numerous, comprising the addition of fundamentally different imaging information (diagnostics), drug delivery (therapy), or the combination of both (theranostics). In recent years, we have witnessed a plethora of preclinical multimodal or multifunctional imaging probes being published mainly as proof-of-principle studies, yet only a handful are readily applicable in clinical settings. This chapter summarizes recent innovations in the development of multifunctional MR imaging probes and discusses the suitability of these probes for clinical transfer.

Abstract
With the development of multifunctional imaging, gadolinium (Gd)-bearing inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), which were doped with trivalent lanthanide (Ln3+), have been applied in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging owing to their high payload of Gd3+ ions and specific optical characteristics. In this study, we chose GdVO4 codoped with Eu3+ and Bi3+ as the host material to generate a highly efficient contrast agent (CA) for MRI and long-term luminescence imaging. The new CA emits strong and stable luminescence because of its strong characteristic emissions, resulting from the energy-transfer process from the vanadate groups (VO4 3-) to the Eu3+ and Bi3+ dopants. Additionally, these NPs provided conspicuous T 1 and T 2 relaxation time-shortening characteristics, which result in MRI enhancement. GdVO4:Eu3+,Bi3+ NPs were tested on liver tumor-bearing nude mice, and showed improved liver tumor contrast in T 2-weighted MR images (T 2WI). The dual-modal imaging probe exhibited no cytotoxicity or organ toxicity, reflecting its excellent biocompatibility. Thus, GdVO4:Eu3+,Bi3+ has the potential to be used for bioassays in vitro and liver tumor targeting in vivo. The results reveal the great promise of using the designed GdVO4:Eu3+,Bi3+ NPs as luminescent and MRI dual-mode bioprobes for clinical bioimaging applications.

Abstract
Inorganic nanophotonic materials (INPMs) are considered to be promising diagnosis and therapeutic agents for in vivo applications, such as bio-imaging, photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. However, some concerns remain regarding these materials, such as undesirable long-term in vivo accumulation and associated toxicity. The inability to be degraded or cleared has decreased their likelihood to be used for potential clinical translations. To this end, new strategies have recently emerged to develop systematically clearable INPMs. Thus, this review provides an overview of these strategies used to expedite the clearance of INPMs, as well as the relevant design and functionalized modifications which are available to engineer the above materials. Along with their important applications in the fields of in vivo diagnoses and therapies, the challenges and outlook for in vivo clearable INPMs are also discussed. This attempt to explore in vivo clearable INPMs to inhibit their accumulation toxicity may represent the solution to a ubiquitous physiological issue, thus paving a new avenue for the development of novel optical nanomaterials for biophotonic applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are two kinds of treatment for tumors. Herein, a new aggregation-induced emission (AIE)gen (MeO-TPE-indo, MTi) is synthesized with a D-π-A conjugated structure. MTi, which has an electron donor and an acceptor on a tetraphenylethene (TPE) conjugated skeleton, can induce the effective generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for PDT. With the guide of the indolium group, MTi can target and image mitochondrion selectively. In order to get good dispersion in water and long-time retention in tumors, MTi is modified on the surface of polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) to form the nanocomposite (PDA-MeO-TPE-indo, PMTi) by π-π and hydrogen interactions. PMTi is a nanoscale composite for imaging-guided PDT and PTT in tumor treatment, which is constructed with AIEgens and PDA for the first time. The organic functional molecules are combined with nanomaterials for building a multifunctional diagnosis and treatment platform by utilizing the advantages of both sides.

Abstract
Dual-functional agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided photothermal therapy (PTT) of lymph cancer are highly desired. Signal enhancement, selectivity between lymphatic nodes/vessels and blood vessels, and photothermal conversion property are the criteria for such dual-functional agent. In the current work, we demonstrated the potential of Gd-C nanocomposites as dual-functional agents for the MRI and PTT of lymph node cancer. Gd-C nanocomposites were synthesized via a hydrothermal carbonization approach with gadolinium chloride as Gd source and citric acid (CA) as C source. The particle size of the nanocomposites ranges from 40 to 100 nm which is smaller than the intercellular space of lymphatic vessels but much larger than that of the blood vessels. The nanocomposites were successfully applied to the MRI of cervical lymph nodes of rabbits. The signal enhancement of the lymph nodes reached the maximum value of 434% at 10 min after injection, without displaying any blood vessel. The Gd-C nanocomposites also exhibited strong photothermal conversion effect. Under the illumination of an 808 nm laser, the aqueous suspension containing 1.0 wt % Gd-C nanocomposites gave a maximum temperature rise of 28.2 °C and a light utilization efficiency of 30.4%. The results indicate that Gd-C nanocomposites have significant potential in MRI guided PTT of lymph cancer.

Tumor hypoxia directed multimodal nanotherapy for overcoming drug resistance in renal cell carcinoma and reprogramming macrophages. Biomaterials 2018; 183:280-294. [PMID: 30179778 PMCID: PMC6414719 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2018.08.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2018] [Revised: 08/24/2018] [Accepted: 08/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Drug resistance is one of the significant clinical burden in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The development of drug resistance is attributed to many factors, including impairment of apoptosis, elevation of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX, a marker of tumor hypoxia), and infiltration of tumorigenic immune cells. To alleviate the drug resistance, we have used Sorafenib (Sor) in combination with tumor hypoxia directed nanoparticle (NP) loaded with a new class of apoptosis inducer, CFM 4.16 (C4.16), namely CA IX-C4.16. The NP is designed to selectively deliver the payload to the hypoxic tumor (core), provoke superior cell death in parental (WT) and Everolimus-resistant (Evr-res) RCC and selectively downmodulate tumorigenic M2-macrophage. Copper-free 'click' chemistry was utilized for conjugating SMA-TPGS with Acetazolamide (ATZ, a CA IX-specific targeting ligand). The NP was further tagged with a clinically approved NIR dye (S0456) for evaluating hypoxic tumor core penetration and organ distribution. Imaging of tumor spheroid treated with NIR dye-labeled CA IX-SMA-TPGS revealed remarkable tumor core penetration that was modulated by CA IX-mediated targeting in hypoxic-A498 RCC cells. The significant cell killing effect with synergistic combination index (CI) of CA IX-C4.16 and Sor treatment suggests efficient reversal of Evr-resistance in A498 cells. The CA IX directed nanoplatform in combination with Sor has shown multiple benefits in overcoming drug resistance through (i) inhibition of p-AKT, (ii) upregulation of tumoricidal M1 macrophages resulting in induction of caspase 3/7 mediated apoptosis of Evr-res A498 cells in macrophage-RCC co-culturing condition, (iii) significant in vitro and in vivo Evr-res A498 tumor growth inhibition as compared to individual therapy, and (iv) untraceable liver and kidney toxicity in mice. Near-infrared (NIR) imaging of CA IX-SMA-TPGS-S0456 in Evr-res A498 RCC model exhibited significant accumulation of CA IX-oligomer in tumor core with >3-fold higher tumor uptake as compared to control. In conclusion, this proof-of-concept study demonstrates versatile tumor hypoxia directed nanoplatform that can work in synergy with existing drugs for reversing drug-resistance in RCC accompanied with re-education of tumor-associated macrophages, that could be applied universally for several hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
Unimolecular micelles, as a class of single-molecular micelles, are structurally stable regardless of their concentrations or alterations of the outer environment such as pH, temperature, ion strength etc. in comparison with conventional polymeric micelles. Polyester unimolecular micelles are extensively applied in bio-medical fields because of their stability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, structural-controllabilty etc. In this review, the most recent developments in polyester unimolecular micelle designs in terms of Boltorn polymer H40 core, cyclodextrin, dendrimer or dendrimer-like polymer, or polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) based polyester unimolecular micelles are presented. The significance and application in biomedical fields including drug delivery, bio-imaging and theranostics are also classified in this review. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives for further development of unimolecular micelles as therapeutic materials are also discussed.

Abstract
Interest is growing in the development of artificial enzymes to overcome the drawbacks of natural enzymes. Herein, we have synthesized nitrogen-sulphur dual-doped carbon quantum dots (NS-CQDs) via a one-step hydrothermal method; the NS-CQDs possess excellent optical properties and a high fluorescent quantum yield (46%). Significantly, the NS-CQDs exhibited peroxidase mimetic enzyme activity without support from metals or polymeric materials and efficiently catalyzed the oxidation of peroxidase substrate 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2 to produce a blue solution with an absorption maximum at 652 nm. Mechanistic studies suggest that the small size and high electron density of NS-CQDs play vital roles and accelerate the reduction of H2O2 to generate ˙OH radical, which facilitates the oxidation of TMB. The catalytic activity is based on Michaelis-Menten kinetic behavior, and steady state kinetic analysis suggests that the NS-CQDs exhibit a higher affinity for H2O2 than TMB, similar to the natural enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Moreover, the catalytic pathway follows a ping-pong mechanism. Therefore, these findings offer a worthy platform for colorimetric detection of H2O2 in a linear range of 0.02 mM to 0.1 mM with a limit of detection of 0.004 mM. Interestingly, the blue colour of oxidized TMB showed excellent selectivity over non-thiolate biological molecules, especially amino acids, and glutathione can be detected up to 0.07 μM via colorimetric and fluorimetric assays. Additionally, this system showed excellent recovery (96.0-108.3%) of GSH from human blood serum. Thus, the proposed sensing system is simple, convenient, and straightforward and can be potentially applied for real time monitoring of H2O2 and glutathione in biological samples.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a key role in a variety of physiological processes, and mitochondria-targeting drug delivery is helpful and effective in cancer therapy. Rhodamine123 (Rhod123) and Doxorubicin (Dox) are not new chemical molecules, and they both can inhibit the growth of cancerous cells. Here, we combine these two "old" chemicals with polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) to strengthen the antitumor effect with the aid of near-infrared irradiation. PDA NPs carry these two chemicals tightly by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking besides chemical bonds. The better antitumor profile of PDA-Rhod-Dox comes from the mitochondria-targeting delivery, which decreases ATP in living cells, causing apoptosis of cancerous cells effectively and inhibiting the growth of tumors in mice. The synergistic effect of PDA, Rhod123, and Dox improves the treatment effect of conventional chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
The inherent radioresistance and inaccuracy of localization of tumors weaken the clinical implementation effectiveness of radiotherapy. To overcome these limitations, hyaluronic acid-functionalized bismuth oxide nanoparticles (HA-Bi2O3 NPs) were synthesized by one-pot hydrothermal method for target-specific computed tomography (CT) imaging and radiosensitization of tumor. After functionalization with hyaluronic acid, the Bi2O3 NPs possessed favorable solubility in water and excellent biocompatibility and were uptaken specifically by cancer cells overexpressing CD44 receptors. The as-prepared HA-Bi2O3 NPs exhibited high X-ray attenuation efficiency and ideal radiosensitivity via synergizing X-rays to induce cell apoptosis and arrest the cell cycle in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Remarkably, these properties offered excellent performance in active-targeting CT imaging and enhancement of radiosensitivity for inhibition of tumor growth. These findings demonstrated that HA-Bi2O3 NPs as theranostic agents exhibit great promise for CT imaging-guided radiotherapy in diagnosis and treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Human blood contains substantial amounts of metal ions such as Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Fe(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), Pb(2+), and Al(3+). Most biomedical applications of nanoparticles require understanding the influence of these metal ions because adsorbed metal ions can affect the function of nanoparticles to limit their sensitivity, performance, stability, and/or resolution in applications. In the present work, the adsorption of various metal ions at the surface of GdVO4:Eu nanoparticles was studied to assess their spectral filter effect on the fluorescence of GdVO4:Eu. Due to the negative surface potential, the electrostatic attraction caused an intensive adsorption reaction of GdVO4:Eu nanoparticles with metal cations. Compared to the adsorption of other common metal ions in human blood, the distinct fluorescence quenching of GdVO4:Eu was induced in the presence of Cu(2+) ions. On the basis of the UV-vis absorption spectrum of an aqueous CuCl2 solution and reflectance spectrum of Cu(OH)2, in which the surroundings of Cu(2+) ions are supposedly similar to the hydroxylated surface of GdVO4:Eu nanoparticles, it is proposed that the complementary overlap of the emission band of GdVO4:Eu with the absorption band of Cu(2+) results in the effective filter effect to quench the red emission. Because GdVO4:Eu nanoparticles are attractive candidates for applications as magnetic/fluorescent multimodal nanoprobes, it is important to recognize that the average amount of Cu(2+) ion in human blood is sufficient to interfere with or limit the fluorescence probe function of GdVO4:Eu nanoparticles.

Abstract
Gadolinium-based contrast agents are extensively used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents due to their outstanding signal enhancement and ease of chemical modification. However, it is increasingly recognized that information obtained from single modal molecular imaging cannot satisfy the higher requirements on the efficiency and accuracy for clinical diagnosis and medical research, due to its limitation and default rooted in single molecular imaging technique itself. To compensate for the deficiencies of single function magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, the combination of multi-modality imaging has turned to be the research hotpot in recent years. This review presents an overview on the recent developments of the functionalization of gadolinium-based contrast agents, and their application in biomedicine applications.

Abstract
Lanthanide nanoparticles (NPs), which are known as upconversion fluorescence probes for multimodal bioimaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have attracted much attentions. In MRI, conventional contrast agents are generally employed separately in a single type of MRI. T1- and T2-weighted MRI alone have unique limitations; therefore, it is urgently necessary to combine the two modalities so as to be able to provide more comprehensive and synergistic diagnostic information than the single modality of MRI. Unfortunately, there is a lack of advanced materials as enhancing agents which are fully suitable for bimodal MRI. Here, we report a new class of hybrid lanthanide nanoparticles as synergistic contrast agents in T1/T2 dual-weighted MRI and imaging-directed tumor diagnosis. The r2/r1 value of BaGdF5 NPs can be readily adjusted from 2.8 to 334.8 by doping with 0%, 50%, or 100% Ln3+ (Ln3+ = Yb3+, Er3+, or Dy3+), respectively. Among these, BaGdF5:50% Er3+ NPs were successfully used as binary contrast agents for T1/T2 dual-weighted MRI and synergistic tumor diagnosis in vivo. These findings reveal that the longitudinal and transverse relaxivities of these Gd3+-based NPs can be controlled by tuning the Ln3+ dopants and their concentrations, providing a simple and general method for designing simultaneous T1/T2 enhancing agents.

Abstract
A series of Dy(3+) or/and Eu(3+) doped GdVO4 phosphors were successfully prepared by a simple hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The results indicate that the as-prepared samples are pure tetragonal phase GdVO4, taking on nanoparticles with an average size of 45 nm. Under ultraviolet (UV) light excitation, the individual Dy(3+) or Eu(3+) ion activated GdVO4 phosphors exhibit excellent emission properties in their respective regions. The mechanism of energy transfer from the VO4(3-) group and the charge transfer band (CTB) to Dy(3+) and Eu(3+) ions is proposed. Color-tunable emissions in GdVO4:Dy(3+),Eu(3+) phosphors are realized through adopting different excitation wavelengths or adjusting the appropriate concentration of Dy(3+) and Eu(3+) when excited by a single excitation wavelength. In addition, the as-prepared samples show paramagnetic properties at room temperature. This kind of multifunctional color-tunable phosphor has great potential applications in the fields of photoelectronic devices and biomedical sciences.

Abstract
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is the most commonly used imaging technique for noninvasive diagnosis of disease. In order to improve tissue specificity and prevent adverse effects, we report the design and synthesis of iodine-doped carbon dots (I-doped CDs) as efficient CT contrast agents and fluorescence probe by a facile bottom-up hydrothermal carbonization process. The as-prepared I-doped CDs are monodispersed spherical nanoparticles (a diameter of ~2.7 nm) with favorable dispersibility and colloidal stability in water. The aqueous solution of I-doped CDs showed wavelength-dependent excitation and stable photoluminescence similar to traditional carbon quantum dots. Importantly, I-doped CDs displayed superior X-ray attenuation properties in vitro and excellent biocompatibility. After intravenous injection, I-doped CDs were distributed throughout the body and excreted by renal clearance. These findings validated that I-doped CDs with high X-ray attenuation potency and favorable photoluminescence show great promise for biomedical research and disease diagnosis.

Abstract
With the development of nanotechnology, nanocomposites have been used as bimodal contrast agents for magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imaging. We have developed a facile method for the synthesis of iron oxide@bismuth sulfide magnetic core-shell nanocomposites. These bifunctional nanocomposites can be made water-soluble via PEG coating and present strong MRI/CT contrast enhancement. Evaluation of cytotoxicity by MTT assay shows that the nanocomposites have low cytotoxicity. The results illustrate that the nanocomposites have great potential as bimodal imaging agents for MR/CT.

Abstract
In this work, small sizes of hydrophobic copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs, ∼3.8 nm in diameter) have been successfully prepared from the reaction of copper chloride with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (SDEDTC) inside a heated oleylamine solution. These CuS NPs displayed strong absorption in the 700-1100 nm near-infrared (NIR) region. By coating CuS NPs with DSPE-PEG2000 on the surface, the as-synthesized CuS@DSPE-PEG NPs exhibited good water solubility, significant stability and biocompatibility, as well as excellent photothermal conversion effects upon exposure to an 808 nm laser. After intravenous administration to mice, the CuS@DSPE-PEG NPs were found to passively target to the tumor site, and tumor tissues could be ablated efficiency under laser irradiation. In addition, CuS@DSPE-PEG NPs do not show significant toxicity by histological and blood chemistry analysis, and can be effectively excreted via metabolism. Our results indicated that CuS@DSPE-PEG NPs can act as an ideal photothermal agent for cancer photothermal therapy.
