Synergistic delivery of gold nanorods using multifunctional microbubbles for enhanced plasmonic photothermal therapy.

Abstract:

:Plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) using plasmonic nanoparticles as efficient photoabsorbing agents has been proposed previously. One critical step in PPTT is to effectively deliver gold nanoparticles into the cells. This study demonstrates that the delivery of gold nanorods (AuNRs) can be greatly enhanced by combining the following three mechanisms: AuNRs encapsulated in protein-shell microbubbles (AuMBs), molecular targeting, and sonoporation employing acoustic cavitation of microbubbles (MBs). Both in vitro and in vivo tests were performed. For molecular targeting, the AuMBs were modified with anti-VEGFR2. Once bound to the angiogenesis markers, the MBs were destroyed by ultrasound to release the AuNRs and the release was confirmed by photoacoustic measurements. Additionally, acoustic cavitation was induced during MB destruction for sonoporation (i.e., increase in transient cellular permeability). The measured inertial cavitation dose was positively correlated with the temperature increase at the tumor site. The quantity of AuNRs delivered into the cells was also determined by measuring the mass spectrometry and observed using third-harmonic-generation microscopy and two-photon fluorescence microscopy. A temperature increase of 20 °C was achieved in vitro. The PPTT results in vivo also demonstrated that the temperature increase (>45 °C) provided a sufficiently high degree of hyperthermia. Therefore, synergistic delivery of AuNRs was demonstrated.
