Abstract
Gold nanoparticles attract great attention in potential theranostics options for aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), by sensitizing tumor to non-invasive photothermal therapy (PTT) and enabling multifunctional imaging, with an enhanced efficacy and reduced systemic cytotoxicity. Gold nanostars possess tremendous benefits among gold nanostructures, due to the distinct absorption peak in near-infrared region and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency. The surface plasmon resonance of nanostars enables photoacoustic imaging (PAI) by an efficient conversion of photons to photoacoustic signals. In this study, we investigated the PEGylated gold nanostars (pAuNSs) uptake in orthotopic TNBC tumor with PAI and radionuclide-based biodistribution. A prominent pAuNSs uptake in tumor was found steadily within 2-24 h after intravenous injection by both methods. The tumor was exposed to laser (808 nm, 1 W/cm2) for 3 min twice at 24 h post-intravenous injection. The photothermal effect of pAuNSs induced a rise in tumor temperature to 55 ℃, which could kill tumor tissue by thermal ablation. The tumor in pAuNSs-mediated laser group was markedly shrunken up to day 21 post-treatment, also reflected by the reduction of luciferase activity in bioluminescent imaging. Overall, this work presented a novel nanoplatform for PAI-guided PTT mediated by pAuNSs and revealed effective thermal ablation in eliminating TNBC tumor.
