Temoporfin-Conjugated Upconversion Nanoparticles for NIR-Induced Photodynamic Therapy: Studies with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Cells In Vitro and In Vivo. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2694. [PMID: 38140035 PMCID: PMC10748036 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15122694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Upconverting nanoparticles are interesting materials that have the potential for use in many applications ranging from solar energy harvesting to biosensing, light-triggered drug delivery, and photodynamic therapy (PDT). One of the main requirements for the particles is their surface modification, in our case using poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid) (PMVEMA) and temoporfin (THPC) photosensitizer to ensure the colloidal and chemical stability of the particles in aqueous media and the formation of singlet oxygen after NIR irradiation, respectively. Codoping of Fe2+, Yb3+, and Er3+ ions in the NaYF4 host induced upconversion emission of particles in the red region, which is dominant for achieving direct excitation of THPC. Novel monodisperse PMVEMA-coated upconversion NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+,Fe2+ nanoparticles (UCNPs) with chemically bonded THPC were found to efficiently transfer energy and generate singlet oxygen. The cytotoxicity of the UCNPs was determined in the human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines Capan-2, PANC-01, and PA-TU-8902. In vitro data demonstrated enhanced uptake of UCNP@PMVEMA-THPC particles by rat INS-1E insulinoma cells, followed by significant cell destruction after excitation with a 980 nm laser. Intratumoral administration of these nanoconjugates into a mouse model of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma caused extensive necrosis at the tumor site, followed by tumor suppression after NIR-induced PDT. In vitro and in vivo results thus suggest that this nanoconjugate is a promising candidate for NIR-induced PDT of cancer.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, photodynamic therapy has been studied as a therapeutic method by generating singlet oxygen through activation of a photosensitizer (PS) to kill cancer cells. However, the light within the activating wavelength range of commercial photosensitizers has a low penetration depth. In this study, we designed multifunctional upconversion nanoparticles (UCNs) that can emit high-energy light by absorbing low-energy near-infrared (NIR) light with excellent tissue permeability through a fluorescence resonance energy transfer procedure. This process can produce reactive oxygen species by activating the PS. We aimed to optimize the thermal decomposition synthesis procedure to produce lanthanide-doped UCNs with a uniform size and improve the photoluminescence efficiency for an NIR-regulated theranostic system. It was confirmed that the morphologies of UCNs can be controlled by varying the reaction time, reaction temperature, and feed molar ratio of the solvent and reactant. The crystalline morphology of the synthesized UCNs showed a thermodynamically stable hexagonal phase. The photoluminescence efficiency of the UCNs also was influenced by size, surface area, crystalline property, and stability in aqueous solution. Furthermore, the surface-modified UCNs with a folic acid-conjugated block copolymer and PS exhibited enhanced singlet oxygen generation and significantly improved aqueous solubility and photoluminescence efficiency.

Abstract
We designed a biodegradable hybrid nanostructure for near-infrared (NIR)-induced photodynamic therapy (PDT) using an ultrasmall upconversion (UC) phosphor (β-NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ nanoparticle: NPs) and a hydrocarbonized rose bengal (C18RB) dye, a hydrophobized rose bengal (RB) derivative. The UC-NPs were encapsulated along with C18RB in the hydrophobic core of the micelle composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). The UC-NPs were well shielded from the aqueous environment, owing to the encapsulation in the hydrophobic PCL core, to efficiently emit green UC luminescence by avoiding the quenching by the hydroxyl groups. The hydrophobic part of C18 of C18RB worked well to be involved in the PCL core and located RB on the surface of the PCL core, making the efficient absorption of green light and the emission of singlet oxygen to surrounding water possible. Moreover, as the location is covered by PEG, the direct contact of RB to cells is prohibited to avoid their irradiation-free toxic effect on the cells. The hybrid nanostructure proved to be degradable by the hydrolysis of PEG-b-PCL. This degradation potentially results in renal excretion by the decomposition of the nanostructure into sub-10 nm size particles and makes them viable for clinical uses. These nanostructures can potentially be used for PDT of cancer in deep tissues.

Abstract
Click chemistry has great potential for use in binding between nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, and other molecules, and has been used in many research fields because of its beneficial characteristics, including high yield, high specificity, and simplicity. The recent development of copper-free and less cytotoxic click chemistry reactions has allowed for the application of click chemistry to the field of medicine. Moreover, metabolic glycoengineering allows for the direct modification of living cells with substrates for click chemistry either in vitro or in vivo. As such, click chemistry has become a powerful tool for cell transplantation and drug delivery. In this review, we describe some applications of click chemistry for cell engineering in cell transplantation and for drug delivery in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Temperature Sensing of Deep Abdominal Region in Mice by Using Over-1000 nm Near-Infrared Luminescence of Rare-Earth-Doped NaYF 4 Nanothermometer. Sci Rep 2018; 8:16979.

Abstract
Luminescence nanothermometry has attracted much attention as a non-contact thermal sensing technique. However, it is not widely explored for in vivo applications owing to the low transparency of tissues for the light to be used. In this study, we performed biological temperature sensing in deep tissues using β-NaYF4 nanoparticles co-doped with Yb3+, Ho3+, and Er3+ (NaYF4: Yb3+, Ho3+, Er3+ NPs), which displayed two emission peaks at 1150 nm (Ho3+) and 1550 nm (Er3+) in the >1000 nm near-infrared wavelength region, where the scattering and absorption of light by biological tissues are at the minimum. The change in the luminescence intensity ratio of the emission peaks of Ho3+ and Er3+ (IHo/IEr) in the NaYF4: Yb3+, Ho3+, Er3+ nanothermometer differs corresponding to the thickness of the tissue. Therefore, the relationship between IHo/IEr ratio and temperature needs to be calibrated by the depth of the nanothermometer. The temperature-dependent change in the IHo/IEr was evident at the peritoneal cavity level, which is deeper than the subcutaneous tissue level. The designed experimental system for temperature imaging will open the window to novel luminescent nanothermometers for in vivo deep tissue temperature sensing.
