ABSTRACT
Iron-based nanomaterials have shown great promise for tumor ferrotherapy in recent years. However, nanoparticle-induced ferroptosis has low therapeutic efficacy owing to unsatisfactory Fenton reaction activity in a typical tumor microenvironment. In this study, NIR light-activated Fe/PPy-RGD nanopolymers were developed to combine photothermal therapy and ferrotherapy and achieve enhanced antitumor activity. Importantly, Fe/PPy-RGD exhibited excellent therapeutic performance under NIR light activation both inâ
vitro and inâ
vivo. Under irradiation with NIR light, the heat generated by Fe/PPy-RGD not only induced a therapeutic photothermal effect but also enhanced the release of iron ions and the Fenton reaction by inducing ferroptosis. Additionally, by virtue of RGD conjugation and its ultrasmall size, Fe/PPy-RGD could effectively accumulate at tumor sites in living mice after systemic administration and could be monitored via MR imaging. Hence, this study provides a promising approach for integrating ferrotherapy with photothermal therapy to achieve enhanced tumor treatment.
