构建了一种多功能纳米诊疗剂DPP-PEG/BSA-MnO2, 用于光声/近红外二区(NIR Ⅱ)荧光双模成像以及光动力(PDT)/光热(PTT)/化学动力学(CDT)治疗协同效应研究. 通过直接(杂)芳基化聚合反应合成聚乙二醇(PEG)亲水侧链修饰的吡咯并吡咯二酮(DPP)基两亲性共轭聚合物DPP-PEG, 其纳米粒子在1000~1400 nm的NIR Ⅱ区域有较强的荧光发射, 荧光量子产率为0.374%, 能在2 min内快速点亮小鼠的全身血管网络, 实现脑部和腿部血管的清晰荧光成像. 将DPP-PEG与牛血清蛋白(BSA)-二氧化锰(MnO2)复合, 构建了水溶性良好的复合纳米材料DPP-PEG/BSA-MnO2(简写为DPP-PEG/B-M). 与DPP-PEG/B、B-M的对比研究表明, DPP-PEG/B-M在肿瘤微环境(TME)中具有明显的PDT/PTT/CDT协同治疗效果. 这归因于DPP-PEG优良的PDT/PTT协同效应, 以及MnO2与TME中过表达的谷胱甘肽、H2O2反应生成•OH和O2, 产生CDT效应, 并增强了PDT效应. 并且, DPP-PEG/B-M对4T1荷瘤小鼠的肿瘤呈现良好的肿瘤靶向光声成像和NIR-II荧光成像性能, 因此有望应用于光声/NIR-II荧光双模成像指导的PDT/PTT/CDT协同治疗, 在肿瘤精准高效治疗中发挥作用.

In this paper, a multifunctional nanotheranostic agent DPP-PEG/BSA-MnO2 was constructed for photoacoustic (PA)/near-infrared fluorescence (NIR Ⅱ FL) dual-mode imaging and photodynamic (PDT)/photothermal (PTT)/chemodynamic (CDT) synergistic therapy effects. A diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based amphiphilic conjugated polymer, DPP-PEG, was synthesized by direct (hetero) arylation polymerization (DHAP) of a DPP derivative monomer modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrophilic side chains and another DPP derivative monomer substituted with 2-ethylhexyl side chains. DPP-PEG nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited strong fluorescence emission in the NIR II region of 1000~1400 nm with a fluorescence quantum yield of 0.374%, which can quickly light up the mouse's systemic vascular network within 2 min, achieving clear fluorescence imaging of brain and leg blood vessels. DPP-PEG was complexed with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-manganese dioxide (MnO2) to construct a water-soluble composite nanomaterial DPP-PEG/BSA-MnO2 (abbreviated as DPP-PEG/B-M). Comparative studies with DPP-PEG/B and B-M showed that DPP-PEG/B-M exhibited evident PDT/PTT/CDT synergistic effect in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Both DPP-PEG/B and DPP-PEG/B-M can effect-tively inhibit the proliferation effect in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Both DPP-PEG/B and DPP-PEG/B-M can effectively inhibit the proliferation of 4T1 tumor cells under 808 nm laser irradiation, as DPP-PEG produced excellent PDT/PTT synergistic effects. Compared with DPP-PEG/B, DPP-PEG/B-M showed a significant increase in cytotoxicity under the same conditions. The overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and H2O2 in TME can effectively convert MnO2 into Mn2+, which further underwent a Fenton-like reaction with H2O2 to generate •OH, thereby producing additional CDT therapeutic effects. Furthermore, MnO2 reacted with H2O2 to produce O2, promoting the generation of 1O2 and enhancing the PDT effect. The consumption of MnO2 weakened the scavenging effect of GSH on •OH and 1O2, further synergistically enhancing the PDT/CDT effect. Moreover, DPP-PEG/B-M was injected into 4T1 tumor-bearing mice via the tail vein. 24 h post-injection, the photoacoustic and NIR-II fluorescence signals at the tumor site reached their highest intensity, indicating that DPP-PEG/B-M can be enriched to the tumor site through the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect. Therefore, DPP-PEG/B-M exhibited excellent tumor-targeting photoacoustic imaging and NIR-II fluorescence imaging performance in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, and was expected to be applied in PDT/PTT/CDT synergistic therapy guided by photoacoustic/NIR-II fluorescence dual-mode imaging, playing a role in precise and efficient tumor therapy.
