For the superiority of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) in bioimaging and drug delivery carrier, GQDs bring new opportunities for theranostics of diseases. In this study, GQDs were successfully prepared and labeled with 131 I. The in vitro properties, biodistribution and SPECT imaging of 131 I-GQDs were investigated. The uptake of 131 I-GQDs at tumor sites can be clearly observed via SPECT imaging and T/B and T/M ratios increase with increasing time, which can contribute to enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect.

Purpose: Transcatheter hepatic artery embolization therapy is a minimally invasive alternative for treating inoperable liver cancer but recurrence is frequent. Multifunctional agents, however, offer an opportunity for tumor eradication. In this study, we were aim to synthesized poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres encapsulating hollow CuS nanoparticles (HCuSNPs) and paclitaxel (PTX) that were then labeled with radioiodine-131 ( 131 I) to produce 131 I-HCuSNPs-MS-PTX. This compound combines the multi-theranostic properties of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and photothermal therapy. In addition, it can also be imaged with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and photoacoustic imaging. Methods: We investigated the value of therapeutic and imaging of 131 I-HCuSNPs-MS-PTX in rats bearing Walker-256 tumor transplanted in the liver. After the intra-arterial (IA) injection of 131 I-HCuSNPs-MS-PTX, 18 F-Fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) micro-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (micro-PET/CT) imaging was used to monitor the therapeutic effect. PET/CT findings were verified by immunohistochemical analysis. SPECT/CT and photoacoustic imaging were performed to demonstrate the distribution of 131 I-HCuSNPs-MS-PTX in vivo . Results : We found that embolization therapy in combination with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and photothermal therapy offered by 131 I-HCuSNPs-MS-PTX completely ablated the transplanted hepatic tumors at a relatively low dose. In comparison, embolization monotherapy or combination with one or two other therapies had less effective anti-tumor efficacy. The combination of SPECT/CT and photoacoustic imaging effectively confirmed microsphere delivery to the targeted tumors in vivo and guided the near-infrared laser irradiation. Conclusion : Our study suggests that there is a clinical theranostic potential for imaging-guided arterial embolization with 131 I-HCuSNPs-MS-PTX for the treatment of liver tumors.

Cerenkov radiation induced photodynamic therapy (CR-PDT) offers a promising approach to overcome the dependency on external light sources and associated tissue penetration limitations. However, the therapeutic efficacy of CR-PDT is constrained by tumor hypoxia and the intrinsically short half-life and limited diffusion distance of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, we propose a tumor acidity-triggered, mitochondria-targeted CR-PDT strategy to amplify the ROS generation for enhanced therapeutic efficacy. The mitochondria-targeted photosensitizers (TTCPP) are encapsulated within amphiphilic polymers, functionalized with acidity-responsive moiety and 131I labeling group, forming 131I-TTCPP nanoparticles (131I-TTCPP NPs). Under physiological conditions, 131I-TTCPP NPs exhibit minimal phototoxicity due to aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Upon encountering the acidic tumor microenvironment, 131I-TTCPP NPs disintegrate, restoring the photodynamic activity of TTCPP. Compared to non-targeted photosensitizers TCPP, the released mitochondria-targeted TTCPP effectively localizes to mitochondria and undergoes self-activation by 131I, generating significantly higher levels of ROS, which results in more severe mitochondrial dysfunction and enhanced apoptosis. Our findings demonstrate that coupling mitochondria targeting with self-activated CR-PDT provides a more effective and safer option for cancer treatment.

In this study, we successfully synthesized polyethylene glycol (PEG) and folic acid (FA) co-functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) to improve the biocompatibility and tumor-targeting ability of GQDs simultaneously, and labeled GQDs–PEG–FA with 131 I for biological behavior evaluation. The in vitro properties, biodistribution and SPECT imaging of 131 I-GQDs–PEG–FA were investigated. The uptake of 131 I-GQDs–PEG–FA at tumor sites can be clearly examined via SPECT imaging, which can ascribe to enhanced permeability and retention effect and active targeting effect of FA to folate receptors. The results indicate that 131 I-GQDs–PEG–FA can be used as a radioactive probe for detection of tumor cells overexpressing folate receptor.
