Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and aggressive forms of liver cancer, with limited therapeutic options and a high recurrence rate. Traditional treatments include surgery and systemic therapy, but systemic therapy has side effects, such as poor specificity, systemic toxicity, and drug resistance. Herein, we designed a multimodal diagnostic and therapeutic-integrated nanosphere for packaging and delivering lenvatinib (LVN). The system was constructed using a PLGA-PEG polymer and modified by cyclic peptide cRGD with high selectivity and affinity for cancer cell integrins. Next, the system was loaded with lenvatinib (LVN) and IR780 photosensitizer, providing a satisfactory basis for photodynamic therapy/photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT) treatment. The nanoparticles could actively and passively target HCC cells and hydrolyze them in an acidic environment to release photosensitizers and LVN, which played significant roles in diminishing tumor cells. After 808 nm laser irradiation, the PDT and PTT effects induced by IR780 synergistically increased the function of LVN by inducing ferroptosis and apoptosis. In addition, in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that PPR@LVN/IR780 nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of tumors under 808 nm laser irradiation without obvious damage to other organs. At the same time, we also used high-throughput sequencing technology to further explore the underlying mechanisms of the nanoparticles. This work not only provided a liver-targeted drug delivery strategy based on first-line systemic therapy drugs but also provided an efficient and synergistic visualization imaging method for fluorescence imaging (FLI), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and photothermal imaging (PTI) to realize integrated multimodal diagnosis and treatment.

Biofilms have been related to the persistence of infections on medical implants, and these cannot be eradicated because of the resistance of biofilm structures. Therefore, a biocompatible phototherapeutic system is developed composed of MoS 2 , IR780 photosensitizer, and arginine–glycine–aspartic acid–cysteine (RGDC) to safely eradicate biofilms on titanium implants within 20 min. The magnetron-sputtered MoS 2 film possesses excellent photothermal properties, and IR780 can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the irradiation of near-infrared (NIR, λ = 700–1100 nm) light. Consequently, the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), assisted by glutathione oxidation accelerated by NIR light, can provide synergistic and rapid killing of bacteria, i.e., 98.99 ± 0.42% eradication ratio against a Staphylococcus aureus biofilm in vivo within 20 min, which is much greater than that of PTT or PDT alone. With the assistance of ROS, the permeability of damaged bacterial membranes increases, and the damaged bacterial membranes become more sensitive to heat, thus accelerating the leakage of proteins from the bacteria. In addition, RGDC can provide excellent biosafety and osteoconductivity, which is confirmed by in vivo animal experiments.

Combination therapy could significantly improve the therapeutic effect of tumors. However, due to the lack of reasonable integration of different treatment modes, it is difficult to maximize the effect of combination treatment. To solve this problem, by adjusting the dosage of NH4F/NaOH, we developed NaTmF4:0.5%Er3+@NaLuF4 upconversion nanoparticles with strong near-infrared luminescence. On this basis, nanocarriers (USFH-CI) encapsulated with high-loading (33.35%) Fe(acac)3, wrapped by human serum albumin, and grafted with cinnamic aldehyde (CA) and the IR780 photosensitizer were constructed. The dense extracellular matrix (ECM) in tumor tissues prevented the drug from diffusing into the tumors. Once USFH-CI nanocarriers were delivered to the tumor area, CA pH-responsively released H2O2, which promoted photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) of IR780 driven by upconversion luminescence. A large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were generated, which led to the disintegration of the ECM and penetration into the tumors. Then, abundant Fe3+ consumed GSH to generate ample GSSG and Fe2+, which enhanced the sensitivity of tumor cells to oxidative stress, thus leading to the accumulation of lipid peroxide (LPO) and finally inducing ferroptosis. At the same time, substantial H2O2 and Fe2+ triggered off the Fenton-like reaction, releasing affluent free radicals. Beyond that, PTT of IR780 further promoted the Fenton-like reaction, and the generation of ROS was amplified. Free radicals generated in the process of ferroptosis destroyed heat shock protein produced by PTT, which solved the self-protection of cancer cells against heat. In situ ROS generation by the PTT/PDT of IR780 and the Fe2+ Fenton-like reaction further promoted the accumulation of LPO and ferroptosis as well as deep penetration, which maximized the effect of combination treatment and achieved a high tumor inhibition rate (84.71%). Also, there was negligible damage to normal tissues with good tumor targeting and digestive metabolism.
