摘要

The therapeutic efficacy of photodynamic therapy is limited by the abilityof light to penetrate tissues. Due to this limitation, Cerenkov luminescence(CL) from radionuclides has recently been proposed as an alternative lightsource in a strategy referred to as Cerenkov radiation-induced therapy(CRIT). Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) have ideal opticalproperties, such as large absorption cross-sections and broad absorbance,which can be utilized to harness the relatively weak CL produced byradionuclides. SPNs can be doped with photosensitizers and have ≈100%energy transfer efficiency by multiple energy transfer mechanisms. Herein,an optimized photosensitizer-doped SPN is investigated as a nanosystemto harness and amplify CL for cancer theranostics. It is found that semiconductingpolymers significantly amplify CL energy transfer efficiency.Bimodal positron emission tomography (PET) and optical imaging studiesshow high tumor uptake and retention of the optimized SPNs whenadministered intravenously or intratumorally. Lastly, it is found that photosensitizer-doped SPNs have excellent potential as a cancer theranosticsnanosystem in an in vivo tumor therapy study. This study shows that SPNsare ideally suited to harness and amplify CL for cancer theranostics, whichmay provide a significant advancement for CRIT that are unabated by tissuepenetration limits.
