Abstract

Aim: We aimed to characterize the tumor-targeting and radiosensitization properties of the photo-responsive gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) decorated photolabile diazirine group and folic acid for improved radiotherapy and computed tomography imaging of tumors. Methods: Folic acid and photolabile diazirine group were covalently conjugated on the surface of AuNPs to afford the desired photo-responsive dAuNP-FA (AuNPs capped with poly(ethylene) glycol ligands bearing photolabile diazirine group and folic acid). The probes were intravenously injected into tumor-bearing mice followed by photocrosslinking upon 405 nm laser irradiation for radiotherapy and computed tomography imaging of tumors in vivo. Results: Light-triggered crosslinking of AuNPs in vivo remarkably enhanced the accumulation and retention of AuNPs within tumors. Conclusion: We have successfully developed a novel photo-responsive Au particle-based tumor theranostic probe showing remarkably improved tumor targeting ability and radiosensitization effect.
