Indocyanine green conjugated phototheranostic nanoparticle for photodiagnosis and photodynamic reaciton. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 39:103041. [PMID: 35914696 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.103041] [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: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Phototheranostics represents a highly promising paradigm for cancer therapy, although selecting an appropriate optical imager and sensitizer for clinical use remains challenging. METHODS Liposomally formulated phospholipid-conjugated indocyanine green, denoted as LP-iDOPE, was developed as phototheranostic nanoparticle and its cancer imaging-mediated photodynamic reaction, defined as the immune response induced by photodynamic and photothermal effects, was evaluated with a near-infrared (NIR)-light emitting diode (LED) light irradiator. RESULTS Using in vivo NIR fluorescence imaging, we demonstrated that LP-iDOPE was selectively delivered to tumor sites with high accumulation and a long half-life. Following low-intensity NIR-LED light irradiation on the tumor region of LP-iDOPE accumulated, effector CD8+ T cells were activated at the secondary lymphoid organs, migrated, and subsequently released cytokines including interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α, resulting in effective tumor regression. CONCLUSIONS Our anti-cancer strategy based on tumor-specific LP-iDOPE accumulation and low-intensity NIR-LED light irradiation to the tumor regions, i.e., photodynamic reaction, represents a promising approach to noninvasive cancer therapy.

Abstract
Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) has promising advantages in almost non-invasion, low drug resistance, and low dark toxicity, it still suffers from limitations in the lipophilic nature of most photosensitizers (PSs), short half-life of PS in plasma, poor tissue penetration, and low tumor specificity. To overcome these limitations and enhance PDT, liposomes, as excellent multi-functional nano-carriers for drug delivery, have been extensively studied in multi-functional theranostics, including liposomal PS, targeted drug delivery, controllable drug release, image-guided therapy, and combined therapy. This review provides researchers with a useful reference in liposome-based drug delivery.

Abstract
Our previous research has focused on the development of a novel cancer therapy by using photohyperthermal therapy (PHT) with indocyanine green (ICG) as an optical sensitizer. ICG-Lipo is a liposomally formulated ICG derivative in which ICG is tagged with an octadeca-alkyl chain to incorporate into liposome bilayers, and contains antitumor drugs such as carboplatin and paclitaxel within the inner membrane space. The present study reported a case of feline nasal lymphoma that was treated with combination therapy of PHT with ICG-Lipo. An antitumour effect was observed, and the patient entered remission. Complications from the radiation treatment included skin burns and bleeding from the irradiated hard palate. Serious side effects related to the drugs were not observed. This report suggested that PHT using ICG-Lipo enabled efficient and safe treatment of lymphoma, and that treatment with a liposomal drug delivery system was enhanced by PHT.

Abstract
Developments in fluorescence imaging, brought popularity to near infrared (NIR) imaging with far-red and NIR fluorophores applied for biosensing and bioimaging in living systems. Noninvasive NIR imaging gained popularity with the use of effective NIR dyes to obtain macroscopic fluorescence images. Several attributes of NIR dyes make them desirable agents, including high specificity, high sensitivity, minimized background interference, and the ability to easily conjugate with drug delivery systems. However, NIR dyes have some drawbacks and limitations, such as low solubility, low stability, and degradation. To overcome these issues, NIR dyes can be encapsulated in appropriate nanocarriers to achieve effective diagnosis, imaging, and therapy monitoring during surgery. Moreover, the vast majority of NIR dyes have photosensitizer features that can effectuate cancer treatment referred to as photodynamic therapy (PDT). In the near future, by combining NIR dyes with appropriate nanocarriers such as liposomes, polymeric micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, or ceramic/silica based nanoparticles, the limitations of NIR dyes can be minimized or even effectively eliminated to form potential effective agents for imaging, therapy, and therapy monitoring of several diseases, particularly cancer.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor, and infiltrates into the surrounding normal brain tissue. Induction of a tumor-specific immune response is one of the best methods to obtain tumor-specific cytotoxicity. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is known to effectively induce an antitumor immune response. We have developed a clinically translatable nanoparticle, liposomally formulated phospholipid-conjugated indocyanine green (LP-iDOPE), applicable for PDT. This nanoparticle accumulates in tumor tissues by the enhanced permeability and retention effect, and releases heat and singlet oxygen to injure cancer cells when activated by near infrared (NIR) light. We assessed the effectiveness of the LP-iDOPE system in brain using the rat 9L glioblastoma model. Treatment with LP-iDOPE and NIR irradiation resulted in significant tumor growth suppression and prolongation of survival. Histopathological examination showed induction of both apoptosis and necrosis and accumulation of CD8+ T-cells and macrophages/microglia accompanied by marked expressions of heat shock protein-70 (HSP70), which was not induced by mild hyperthermia alone at 45° C or an interleukin-2-mediated immune reaction. Notably, the efficacy was lost in immunocompromised nude rats. These results collectively show that the novel nanoparticle LP-iDOPE in combination with NIR irradiation can efficiently induce a tumor-specific immune reaction for malignant gliomas possibly by inducing HSP70 expression which is known to activate antigen-presenting cells through toll-like receptor signaling.

Abstract
A combination of chemotherapy and phototherapy has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. To achieve effective combinational therapy of cancer with reduced toxicity, it is highly desirable to improve the targeting of chemotherapeutic and near-infrared photosensitizers to enhance their accumulation in tumor. Here we report a novel tumor targeting cell membrane capsule (CMC), originate from living cells, to load doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG), for combinational photo-chemotherapy against cancer. As a result, folic acid modified CMC (CMC-FA, with a diameter about 200 nm and a FA density of 0.4 molecule/nm2) showed 3-4 fold higher cell uptake by cancer cells in vitro and 2.3 times higher accumulation in mouse cancer xenografts in vivo than pristine CMC. DOX and ICG with therapeutically significant concentrations can be sequentially encapsulated into CMC-FA by temporary permeating the plasma membranes with high efficiency. The systematic administration of cancer targeting CMC-FA loaded with DOX and ICG could significantly inhibit tumor growth in mouse xenografts in the presence of a near-infrared light at 808 nm, without noticeable toxicity. These findings suggest that cancer targeting CMC may have considerable benefits in drug delivery and combinational cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE A combination of chemotherapy and photothermal/photodynamic therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer therapy. In current study, a novel cancer targeting cell membrane capsule (CMC-FA), originate from living cells and surface modified with folic acid, was developed to load doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG), for combinational photo-chemotherapy against cancer. The systematic administration of drug loaded CMC-FA can significantly inhibit tumor growth in mouse xenografts in the presence of a near-infrared light at 808 nm, without noticeable toxicity. This study provides a simple and robust strategy to develop biocompatible therapeutic cell membrane capsules, holds strong translational potential in precise cancer treatment.

Abstract
Minimally invasive treatment is getting more and more important in an aging society. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of ICG loaded on super carbonate apatite (sCA) nanoparticles as a novel photodynamic therapy (PDT) against cancers. Using colon cancer cells, ICG uptake and anti-tumor effects were examined between the treatments of ICG and sCA-ICG. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and temperature rise were also evaluated to explore the underlying mechanism. Atomic force microscopy revealed that the size of sCA-ICG ranged from 10 to 20 nm. In aqueous solution with 0.5% albumin, the temperature increase after laser irradiation was 27.1°C and 23.1°C in sCA-ICG and ICG, respectively (control DW: 5.7°C). A significant increase in ROS generation was noted in cell cultures treated with sCA-ICG plus irradiation compared with those treated with ICG plus irradiation (P < 0.01). Uptake of ICG in the tumor cells significantly increased in sCA-ICG compared with ICG in vitro and in vivo The fluorescence signals of ICG in the tumor, liver, and kidney faded away in both treatments by 24 hours. Finally, the HT29 tumors treated with sCA-ICG followed by irradiation exhibited drastic tumor growth retardation (P < 0.01), whereas irradiation of tumors after injection of ICG did not inhibit tumor growth. This study shows that sCA is a useful vehicle for ICG-based PDT. Quick withdrawal of ICG from normal organs is unique to sCA-ICG and contrasts with the other nanoparticles remaining in normal organs for a long time. Mol Cancer Ther; 17(7); 1613-22. ©2018 AACR.

Abstract
Reporter proteins have broad applications in visualizing molecular events at the cellular, tissue and whole-body levels. Transmembrane transporters recognizing specific molecular domains are of particular interest because they enable the migration of signal-source molecules from the extracellular space to the cytoplasm for subsequent application in multimodality imaging. Organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) have demonstrated their MRI reporter efficacy. We further expanded their use as a dual-modality reporter in MRI and noninvasive in vivo imaging system (IVIS). We overexpressed OATP1B3 in the HT-1080 sarcoma cell line. Both Gd-EOB-DTPA, an MRI contrast agent, and indocyanine green (ICG), a near-infrared fluorescent dye that provides better deep-tissue detection because of its long wavelength, could be delivered to the intracellular space and imaged in a tumor-bearing nude mouse model. Our in vivo dual-imaging reporter system achieved high sensitivity in MRI and observation periods lasting as long as 96 h in IVIS. Because of the superior temporal and spatial resolutions and the clinical availability of both ICG and Gd-EOB-DTPA, this dual-imaging OATP1B3 system will find biomedical use in tumor biology, stem cell trafficking, and tissue engineering.—Wu, M.-R., Liu, H.-M., Lu, C.-W., Shen, W.-H., Lin, I.-J., Liao, L.-W., Huang, Y.-Y., Shieh, M.-J., Hsiao, J.-K.

Abstract
Cyanine dyes are greatly accredited in the development of non-invasive therapy that can "see" and "treat" tumor cells via imaging, photothermal and photodynamic treatment. However, these dyes suffer from poor pharmacokinetics inducing severe toxicity to normal cells, insufficient accumulation in tumor regions and rapid photobleaching when delivered in free forms. Nanoparticles engineered to encapsulate these compounds and delivering them into tumor regions have increased rapidly, however, so far, these nanoparticles (NPs) have not proved to be so effective to circumvent existing challenges. Newly designed multifunctional smart nanocarriers that can improve phototherapeutic properties of these dyes, co-encapsulate multiple potent therapeutic compounds, and simultaneously overcome limitations related to tumor recurrence, metastases, limited intracellular uptake, and tumor hypoxia have potential to revolutionize modern paradigm of cancer therapy. Such cyanine based multifunctional nanocarriers integrating imaging and therapy in a single platform can effectively produce better clinical outcomes in cancer treatment. This review briefly summarizes recent advancements of cyanine nanoprobes that are currently used as imaging/phototherapeutic agents in unimodal/bimodal/trimodal cancer theranostics. Finally, we conclude this review by addressing challenges of pre-existing therapeutic systems and designs adopted to overcome them with a brief insight assimilating future perspective of emerging cyanine-based NPs in cancer theranostics.

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
OBJECTIVES In this study, we combined chemo- and hyperthermia therapy in a low temperature-sensitive liposome (LTSL) for potential cancer treatment. METHODS Docetaxel (DOC) and indocyanine green (ICG) as a therapeutic agent and photosensitizer, respectively, were incorporated in a low temperature-sensitive liposome (LTSL/DI). Nanoparticles were evaluated for the physicochemical characterizations, in vitro uptake and cytotoxicity, and furthermore in vivo anticancer activity. RESULTS The particle size of LTSL/DI was 130.8 ± 2.3 nm, and its drug release profile was pH- and temperature-dependent, which are effective for tumor targeting. The in vitro anticancer activity of LTSL/DI was significantly enhanced compared with free DOC in SCC-7 and MCF-7 cell lines. Interestingly, near-infrared laser irradiation after the treatment resulted in better anticancer activity than in the non-irradiated condition. The in vivo tumor regression effect of LTSL/DI in combination with NIR irradiation was much greater compared with the control group in SCC-7 tumor-bearing mice. After intratumoral injection of LTSL/DI, local heat induced by NIR irradiation and the localized docetaxel burst release could completely ablate the tumor, and inhibit its recurrence. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest LTSL/DI formulation as a potential therapeutic strategy with effectively localized anti-tumor activity and low risk of side effect to non-target organs.

Sheng G, Chen Y, Han L, Huang Y, Liu X, Li L, Mao Z. Encapsulation of indocyanine green into cell membrane capsules for photothermal cancer therapy. Acta Biomater 2016; 43:251-261. [PMID: 27422197 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2016.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2016] [Revised: 07/08/2016] [Accepted: 07/11/2016] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Although indocyanine green (ICG) has promising applications in photothermal therapy (PPT) because of its low toxicity and high efficiency in inducing heat and singlet oxygen formation in response to near-infrared light with a wavelength of approximately 800nm, its clinical application has been restricted because of its rapid body clearance and poor water stability. Therefore, cell membrane capsules (CMCs) derived from mammalian cells were used to encapsulate negatively charged ICG by temporarily permeating the plasma membrane and resealing using positively charged doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). The resulting CMCs@DOX/ICG exhibited a spherical shape, with a diameter of approximately 800nm. The DOX and ICG encapsulation was confirmed by the UV-vis spectrum; a very small amount of DOX (0.8μg) and a very high amount of ICG (∼110μg) were encapsulated in 200μg CMCs. Encapsulation in the CMCs leads to sustained release of ICG, especially in the presence of positively charged DOX. The temperature enhancement and generation of ROS by ICG encapsulated in CMCs were confirmed upon laser irradiation in vitro, leading to cell death. CMCs@DOX/ICG also can significantly enhance the retention of ICG in a tumor after intratumoral injection in vivo. As a result, combination treatment with CMCs@DOX/ICG and laser irradiation demonstrated much better anticancer efficacy than that of free DOX/ICG and CMCs@ICG. The encapsulation of ICG into CMCs, especially with the assistance of DOX, significantly slows down the body clearance of ICG, with a retained PPT effect against tumors, an important step forward in the practical application of ICG in cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE In this study, cell membrane capsules (CMCs) derived from mammalian cells were used to encapsulate negatively charged indocyanine green (ICG) by temporarily permeating the plasma membrane and resealing, in the presence of positively charged doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). The resulting CMCs@DOX/ICG exhibited a spherical shape, with a diameter of approximately 800nm. Encapsulation in the CMCs leads to sustained release of ICG and thus slower clearance inside body, especially in the presence of positively charged DOX. The system provides a better photothermal effect against tumors, an important step forward in the practical application of ICG in cancer therapy.
