Abstract
Rapid advancements in nanotechnology have been integrated into various disciplines, leading to an increased prevalence of nanoparticle exposure. The widespread utilization of nanomaterials and heightened levels of particulate pollution have prompted government departments to intensify their focus on assessing the safety of nanoparticles (NPs). The cardiovascular system, crucial for maintaining human health, has emerged as vulnerable to damage from nanoparticle exposure. A mounting body of evidence indicates that interactions can occur when NPs come into contact with components of the cardiovascular system, contributing to adverse cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving these events remain elusive. This work provides a comprehensive review of recent advance on nanoparticle-induced adverse cardiovascular events and offers insight into the associated molecular mechanisms. Finally, the influencing factors of NPs-induced cardiovascular toxicity are discussed.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicle-cancer cell hybrid membrane-coated nanoparticles for sonodynamic therapy in the treatment of breast cancer bone metastasis. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:328. [PMID: 38858780 PMCID: PMC11165797 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02619-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer bone metastasis is a terminal-stage disease and is typically treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which causes severe side effects and limited effectiveness. To improve this, Sonodynamic therapy may be a more safe and effective approach in the future. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMV) have excellent immune-regulating properties, including modulating macrophage polarization, promoting DC cell maturation, and enhancing anti-tumor effects. Combining OMV with Sonodynamic therapy can result in synergetic anti-tumor effects. Therefore, we constructed multifunctional nanoparticles for treating breast cancer bone metastasis. We fused breast cancer cell membranes and bacterial outer membrane vesicles to form a hybrid membrane (HM) and then encapsulated IR780-loaded PLGA with HM to produce the nanoparticles, IR780@PLGA@HM, which had tumor targeting, immune regulating, and Sonodynamic abilities. Experiments showed that the IR780@PLGA@HM nanoparticles had good biocompatibility, effectively targeted to 4T1 tumors, promoted macrophage type I polarization and DC cells activation, strengthened anti-tumor inflammatory factors expression, and presented the ability to effectively kill tumors both in vitro and in vivo, which showed a promising therapeutic effect on breast cancer bone metastasis. Therefore, the nanoparticles we constructed provided a new strategy for effectively treating breast cancer bone metastasis.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 40:198. [PMID: 38727952 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-024-04010-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Atherosclerosis is viewed as not just as a problem of lipid build-up in blood vessels, but also as a chronic inflammatory disease involving both innate and acquired immunity. In atherosclerosis, the inflammation of the arterial walls is the key characteristic that significantly contributes to both the instability of plaque and the occlusion of arteries by blood clots. These events ultimately lead to stroke and acute coronary syndrome. Probiotics are living microorganisms that, when consumed in the right quantities, offer advantages for one's health. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the influence of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 14917 (ATCC 14917) on the development of atherosclerotic plaques and its underlying mechanism in Apo lipoprotein E-knockout (Apoe-/- mice). In this study, Apoe-/- mice at approximately 8 weeks of age were randomly assigned to three groups: a Normal group that received a normal chow diet, a high fat diet group that received a gavage of PBS, and a Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 14917 group that received a high fat diet and a gavage of 0.2 ml ATCC 14917 (2 × 109 CFU/mL) per day for a duration of 12 weeks. Our strain effectively reduced the size of plaques in Apoe-/- mice by regulating the expression of inflammatory markers, immune cell markers, chemokines/chemokine receptors, and tight junction proteins (TJPs). Specifically, it decreased the levels of inflammatory markers (ICAM-1, CD-60 MCP-1, F4/80, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1) in the thoracic aorta, (Ccr7, cd11c, cd4, cd80, IL-1β, TNF-α) in the colon, and increased the activity of ROS-scavenging enzymes (SOD-1 and SOD-2). It also influenced the expression of TJPs (occludin, ZO-1, claudin-3, and MUC-3). In addition, the treatment of ATCC 14917 significantly reduced the level of lipopolysaccharide in the mesenteric adipose tissue. The findings of our study demonstrated that our strain effectively decreased the size of atherosclerotic plaques by modulating inflammation, oxidative stress, intestinal integrity, and intestinal immunity.

Abstract
In this study, the molecular mechanisms of iron transport and homeostasis regulated by the Antarctic krill-derived heptapeptide-iron (LVDDHFL-iron) complex were explored. LVDDHFL-iron significantly increased the hemoglobin, serum iron, total iron binding capacity levels, and iron contents in the liver and spleen to normal levels, regulated the gene expressions of iron homeostasis, and enhanced in vivo antioxidant capacity in iron-deficiency anemia mice (P < 0.05). The results revealed that iron ions within LVDDHFL-iron can be transported via the heme transporter and divalent metal transporter-1, and the absorption of LVDDHFL-iron involved receptor-mediated endocytosis. We also found that the transport of LVDDHFL-iron across cells via phagocytosis was facilitated by the up-regulation of the high mobility group protein, heat shock protein β, and V-type proton ATPase subunit, accompanied by the regulatory mechanism of autophagy. These findings provided deeper understandings of the mechanism of LVDDHFL-iron facilitating iron absorption.

Associations of exposure to disinfection by-products with blood coagulation parameters among women: Results from the Tongji reproductive and environmental (TREE) study. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 269:115741. [PMID: 38029584 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental studies have shown that disinfection byproducts (DBPs) induce coagulotoxicity, but human evidence is scarce. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the relationships of DBP exposures with blood coagulation parameters. METHODS Among 858 women from the Tongji Reproductive and Environmental (TREE) study, urinary dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) were detected as internal biomarkers of DBP exposures. We measured activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (Fbg), international normalized ratio (INR), prothrombin time (PT), and thrombin time (TT) as blood coagulation parameters. Multivariable linear regression models were utilized to estimate the relationships between urinary DCAA and TCAA and blood coagulation parameters. The effect modifications by demographic and lifestyle characteristics were further explored. RESULTS Elevated tertiles of urinary DCAA concentrations were associated with increased PT and INR (11.29%, 95% CI: 1.66%, 20.92% and 0.99%, 95% CI: 0.08%, 1.90% for the third vs. first tertile, respectively; both P for trends < 0.05). Stratification analysis showed that the positive associations were only observed among younger (< 30 years), leaner (body mass index < 24.0 kg/m2), and non-passive smoking women. Moreover, elevated tertiles of urinary TCAA concentrations in positive associations with PT and INR were observed among younger women (17.89%, 95% CI: 2.50%, 33.29% and 1.82%, 95% CI: 0.34%, 3.30% for the third vs. first tertile, respectively; both P for trends < 0.05) but not among older women (both P for interactions < 0.05). CONCLUSION Higher levels of urinary DCAA and TCAA are associated with prolonged clotting time among women.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a systemic pathophysiological condition contributing to the development of majority of polyvascular diseases. Nanomedicine is a novel and rapidly developing science. Due to their small size, nanoparticles are freely transported in vasculature, and have been widely employed as tools in analytical imaging techniques. Furthermore, the application of nanoparticles also allows target intervention, such as drug delivery and tissue engineering regenerative methods, in the management of major vascular diseases. Therefore, by summarizing the physical and chemical characteristics of common nanoparticles used in diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases, we discuss the details of these applications from cellular, molecular, and in vivo perspectives in this review. Furthermore, we also summarize the status and challenges of the application of nanoparticles in clinical translation. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Cardiovascular Disease Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
Biocompatible swarming magnetic nanorobots that work in blood vessels for safe and efficient targeted thrombolytic therapy in vivo are demonstrated. This is achieved by using magnetic beads elaborately grafted with heparinoid-polymer brushes (HPBs) upon the application of an alternating magnetic field B(t). Because of the dense surface charges bestowed by HPBs, the swarming nanorobots demonstrate reversible agglomeration-free reconfigurations, low hemolysis, anti-bioadhesion, and self-anticoagulation in high-ionic-strength blood environments. They are confirmed in vitro and in vivo to perform synergistic thrombolysis efficiently by "motile-targeting" drug delivery and mechanical destruction. Moreover, upon the completion of thrombolysis and removal of B(t), the nanorobots disassemble into dispersed particles in blood, allowing them to safely participate in circulation and be phagocytized by immune cells without apparent organ damage or inflammatory lesion. This work provides a rational multifaceted HPB biointerfacing design strategy for biomedical nanorobots and a general motile platform to deliver drugs for targeted therapies.

Abstract
An asymmetric wound dressing acts as a skin-like structure serves as a protective barrier between a wound and its surroundings. It allows for the absorption of tissue fluids and the release of active substances at the wound site, thus speeding up the healing process. However, the production of such wound dressings requires the acquisition of specialized tools, expensive polymers, and solvents that contain harmful byproducts. In this study, an asymmetric bacterial cellulose (ABC) wound dressing using starch as a porogen has been developed. By incorporating silver-metal organic frameworks (Ag-MOF) and curcumin into the ABC membrane, the wound dressing gains antioxidant, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, and anti-bacterial activities. Compared to BC-based wound dressings, this dressing promotes efficient dissolution and controlled release of curcumin and silver ions. In a full-thickness skin defect model, wound dressing not only inhibits the growth of bacteria on infected wounds but also regulates the release of curcumin to reduce inflammation and promote the production of epithelium, blood vessels, and collagen. Consequently, this dressing provides superior wound treatment compared to BC-based dressing.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease that can lead to life-threatening events, such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Despite the severity of this disease, diagnosing plaque vulnerability remains challenging due to the lack of effective diagnostic tools. Conventional diagnostic protocols lack specificity and fail to predict the type of atherosclerotic lesion and the risk of plaque rupture. To address this issue, technologies are emerging, such as noninvasive medical imaging of atherosclerotic plaque with customized nanotechnological solutions. Modulating the biological interactions and contrast of nanoparticles in various imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging, is possible through the careful design of their physicochemical properties. However, few examples of comparative studies between nanoparticles targeting different hallmarks of atherosclerosis exist to provide information about the plaque development stage. Our work demonstrates that Gd (III)-doped amorphous calcium carbonate nanoparticles are an effective tool for these comparative studies due to their high magnetic resonance contrast and physicochemical properties. In an animal model of atherosclerosis, we compare the imaging performance of three types of nanoparticles: bare amorphous calcium carbonate and those functionalized with the ligands alendronate (for microcalcification targeting) and trimannose (for inflammation targeting). Our study provides useful insights into ligand-mediated targeted imaging of atherosclerosis through a combination of in vivo imaging, ex vivo tissue analysis, and in vitro targeting experiments.

Abstract
Less than 5% of intravenously-injected nanoparticles (NPs) reach destined sites in the body due to opsonization and immune-based clearance in vascular circulation. By hitchhiking in situ onto specific blood components post-injection, NPs can selectively target tissue sites for unprecedentedly high drug delivery rates. Choline carboxylate ionic liquids (ILs) are biocompatible liquid salts <100X composed of bulky asymmetric cations and anions. This class of ILs has been previously shown to significantly extend circulation time and redirect biodistribution in BALB/c mice post-IV injection via hitchhiking on red blood cell (RBC) membranes. Herein, we synthesized & screened 60 choline carboxylic acid-based ILs to coat PLGA NPs and present the impact of structurally engineering the coordinated anion identity to selectively interface and hitchhike lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, and RBCs in whole mouse blood for in situ targeted drug delivery. Furthermore, we find this nanoparticle platform to be biocompatible (non-cytotoxic), translate to human whole blood by resisting serum uptake and maintaining modest hitchhiking, and also significantly extend circulation retention over 24 hours in BALB/c healthy adult mice after IV injection. Because of their altered circulation profiles, we additionally observe dramatically different organ accumulation profiles compared to bare PLGA NPs. This study establishes an initial breakthrough platform for a modular and transformative targeting technology to hitchhike onto blood components with high efficacy and safety in the bloodstream post-IV administration.

Abstract
Experimental evidence has pointed out silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) possessing a proatherogenic capability. However, the interplay between SiNPs and macrophages in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis was poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated SiNPs could promote macrophage adhesion to endothelial cells, accompanied by elevated Vcam1 and Mcp1. Upon SiNPs stimuli, macrophages manifested enhanced phagocytic activity and a pro-inflammatory phenotype, as reflected by the transcriptional determination of M1/M2-related biomarkers. In particular, our data certified the increased macrophage M1 subset facilitated more lipid accumulation and resultant foam cell transformation in comparison to the M2 phenotype. More importantly, the mechanistic investigations revealed ROS-mediated PPARγ/NF-κB signaling was a key contributor to the above phenomena. That was, SiNPs caused ROS accumulation in macrophages, resulting in the deactivation of PPARγ, nuclear translocation of NF-κB, ultimately contributing to macrophage phenotype shift toward M1 and foam cell transformation. Collectively, we first revealed SiNPs facilitated pro-inflammatory macrophage and foam cell transformation via ROS/PPARγ/NF-κB signaling. These data would provide new insight into the atherogenic property of SiNPs in a macrophage model.

Int J Pharm 2023; 640:123009.

Abstract
Conjugate drugs are evolving into potent techniques in the drug development process for enhancing the biopharmaceutical, physicochemical, and pharmacokinetic properties. Atorvastatin (AT) is the first line of treatment for coronary atherosclerosis; however its therapeutic efficacy is limited because of its poor solubility and fast pass metabolism. Curcumin (CU) is evidenced in several crucial signaling pathways linked to lipid regulation and inflammation. To enhance the therapeutic efficacy and physical properties of AT and CU, a new conjugate derivative (AT-CU) was synthesized and assessed by in silico, in vitro characterizations, and in vivo efficacy through mice model. Although the biocompatibility and biodegradability of Polylactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) in nanoparticles are well documented, burst release is a common issue with this polymer. Hence the current work used chitosan as a drug release modifier to the PLGA nanoparticles. The chitosan-modified PLGA AT-CU nanoparticles were prepaid by single emulsion and solvent evaporation technique. With raising the concentration of chitosan the particle size grew from 139.2 nm to 197.7 nm, the zeta potential rose from -20.57 mV to 28.32 mV, and the drug encapsulation efficiency improved from 71.81 % to 90.57 %. At 18 hours, the burst release of AT-CU from PLGA nanoparticles was seen, hitting abruptly 70.8%. For chitosan-modified PLGA nanoparticles, the burst release pattern was significantly reduced which could be due to the adsorption of the drug on the surface of chitosan. The efficiency of the ideal formulation i.e F4 (chitosan/PLGA= 0.4) in treating atherosclerosis was further strongly evidenced by in vivo investigation.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is one of the most common types of cardiovascular disease and is driven by lipid accumulation and chronic inflammation in the arteries, which leads to stenosis and thrombosis. Researchers have been working to design multifunctional nanomedicines with the ability to target, diagnose, and treat atherosclerosis, but recent studies have also identified that nanomaterials can cause atherosclerosis. Therefore, this review aims to outline the molecular mechanisms and physicochemical properties of nanomaterials that promote atherosclerosis. By analyzing the toxicological effects of nanomaterials on cells involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis such as vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and immune cells, we aim to provide new perspectives for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, and raise awareness of nanotoxicology to advance the clinical translation and sustainable development of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymers are expected to be an alternative to plastics. Because of its high biocompatibility, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely used in medicine. It has been reported that micro-nano plastics can be accumulated in the circulatory system and cause tissue injury. With the increasing environmental exposure of degradable polymer nanoparticles (NPs), the impact of this risk factor on cardiovascular disease deserves attention. Thus, we aim to study the harmful effect of PLGA NPs on the process of vascular stenosis which is a typical pathological feature of cardiovascular diseases. We establish a mouse vascular stenosis model with intravenously injecting of PLGA NPs for 2 weeks. This model leads to a significant narrowing of the left common carotid artery which is characterized by the increasing intima area and focal stenosis. We observe that PLGA NPs accelerate stenosis progression by inducing inflammation and impairing vascular function. It promotes the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and causes abnormal collagen distribution. The combination of wall shear stress and PLGA NPs uptake speed up endothelial cell damage, decrease endothelial permeability and cell migration capacity. Our results suggest that PLGA NPs may pose a risk in cardiovascular stenosis which inspire us to concern the biodegradable polymeric materials in our living especially the clinic applications.

Abstract
Background Direct antihypertensive therapy in hypertensive patients with a high CVD risk can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular death but increase adverse cardiovascular events, so additional ways to identify hypertensive patients at high risk may be needed. Studies have shown that immunity and inflammation affect the prognoses of patients with hypertension and that the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) is an index to assess immunity and inflammation, but few studies have applied the PIV index to patients with hypertension. Objective To explore the relationship between the PIV and long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with hypertension. Method Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018 with a mortality follow-up through December 31, 2019, were analyzed. A total of 26,781 participants were evaluated. The patients were grouped based on PIV levels as follows: T1 group (n = 8,938), T2 group (n = 8,893), and T3 group (n = 8,950). The relationship between the PIV and long-term all-cause and cardiovascular death was assessed by survival curves and Cox regression analysis based on the NHANES recommended weights. Result The PIV was significantly associated with long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with hypertension. After full adjustment, patients with higher PIV have a higher risk of all-cause [Group 3: HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.20-1.55, p < 0.001] and cardiovascular [Group 3: HR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.22-2.15, p < 0.001] mortality. Conclusion Elevated PIV was associated with increased all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients.

Abstract
Nanomedicines represent new promising strategies for treating atherosclerosis (AS), because they enhance drug bioavailability and have lower side effects. Nevertheless, nanomedicines have several challenges with these advantages, including a limited circulation life, lack of precise targeting, and insufficient control of drug release. Accordingly, the development of drug delivery systems (DDSs) with abilities to enhance the payload delivery to the AS plaque lesion and to control drug release can boost the therapeutic efficacy and safety for AS treatment. Herein, we employed a one-step self-assembly approach for effectively encapsulating the anti-AS drug simvastatin (SIM) in zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) (SIM/ZIF-8), and then coated it with hyaluronic acid (HA) to fabricate the SIM/ZIF-8@HA nanoplatform. The resulting nanoplatform could efficiently accumulate in plaque regions through the specific recognition between HA and CD44. Meanwhile, the acid environment breaks down ZIF-8 to release SIM. The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that SIM/ZIF-8@HA could inhibit the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and have good biocompatibility. Moreover, SIM/ZIF-8@HA can effectively suppress the development of AS plaques without any considerable side effects in mice treatments. The findings revealed that SIM/ZIF-8@HA may be a promising nanomedicine for safe and efficient anti-AS applications.

Nanoparticle-Based Modification of the DNA Methylome: A Therapeutic Tool for Atherosclerosis? CARDIOGENETICS 2022.

Abstract
Cardiovascular epigenomics is a relatively young field of research, yet it is providing novel insights into gene regulation in the atherosclerotic arterial wall. That information is already pointing to new avenues for atherosclerosis (AS) prevention and therapy. In parallel, advances in nanoparticle (NP) technology allow effective targeting of drugs and bioactive molecules to the vascular wall. The partnership of NP technology and epigenetics in AS is just beginning and promises to produce novel exciting candidate treatments. Here, we briefly discuss the most relevant recent advances in the two fields. We focus on AS and DNA methylation, as the DNA methylome of that condition is better understood in comparison with the rest of the cardiovascular disease field. In particular, we review the most recent advances in NP-based delivery systems and their use for DNA methylome modification in inflammation. We also address the promises of DNA methyltransferase inhibitors for prevention and therapy. Furthermore, we emphasize the unique challenges in designing therapies that target the cardiovascular epigenome. Lastly, we touch the issue of human exposure to industrial NPs and its impact on the epigenome as a reminder of the undesired effects that any NP-based therapy must avoid to be apt for secondary prevention of AS.

Synergistic Theranostics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Photothermal Therapy of Breast Cancer Based on the Janus Nanostructures Fe 3O 4-Au shell-PEG. Int J Nanomedicine 2021; 16:6383-6394. [PMID: 34556986 PMCID: PMC8455180 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s322894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Satisfactory prognosis of breast cancer (BC) is limited by difficulty in early diagnosis and insufficient treatment. The combination of molecular imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) may provide a solution. Methods Fe3O4-Aushell nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by thermal decomposition, seeded growth and galvanic replacement and were comprehensively characterized. After conjugated to PEG, NPs were used as MRI and PTT agents in vitro and in vivo. Results Fe3O4-Aushell NPs which had uniform Janus-like morphology were successfully synthesized. The Fe3O4 had a size of 18 ± 2.2 nm, and the Aushell had an outer diameter of 25 ± 3.3 nm and an inner diameter of 20 ± 2.9 nm. The NPs showed superparamagnetism, a saturation magnetization of 36 emu/g, and an optical absorption plateau from 700 to 808 nm. The Fe3O4-Aushell NPs were determined to possess good biocompatibility. After PEG coating, the zeta potential of NPs was changed from −23.75 ± 1.37 mV to −13.93 ± 0.55 mV, and the FTIR showed the characteristic C–O stretching vibration at 1113 cm−1. The NPs’ MR imaging implied that the T2 can be shortened by Fe3O4-Aushell NPs in a concentration-dependent manner, and the Fe3O4-Aushell NPs coated with PEG at the molar ratio of 160 (PEG: NPs) showed the highest transverse relaxivity (r2) of 216 mM−1s−1. After irradiation at 0.65 W/cm2 for 5 min, all cells incubated with the Fe3O4-Aushell-PEG160 NPs (Fe: 30 ppm, Au: 70 ppm) died. After administrated intratumorally, Fe3O4-Aushell-PEG160 notably decreased the signal intensity of tumor in T2WI images. Under the same irradiation, the temperature of tumors injected with Fe3O4-Aushell-PEG160 quickly rose to 54.6°C, and the tumors shrank rapidly and were ablated in 6 days. Conclusion Fe3O4-Aushell-PEG NPs show good r2 and PTT performance and are promising synergistic theranostic agents of MRI and PTT for BC.
