ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Photothermal therapy (PTT) is taken as a promising strategy for cancer therapy, however, its applicability is hampered by cellular thermoresistance of heat shock response and insufficient accumulation of photothermal transduction agents in the tumor region. In consideration of those limitations, a multifunctional "Golden Cicada" nanoplatform (MGCN) with efficient gene delivery ability and excellent photothermal effects is constructed, overcoming the thermoresistance of tumor cells and improving the accumulation of indocyanine green (ICG).

RESULTS:

Down-regulation of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) makes tumor cells more susceptible to PTT, and a better therapeutic effect is achieved through such cascade augmented synergistic effects. MGCN has attractive features with prolonged circulation in blood, dual-targeting capability of CD44 and sialic acid (SA) receptors, and agile responsiveness of enzyme achieving size and charge double-variable transformation. It proves that, on the one hand, MGCN performs excellent capability for HSP70-shRNA delivery, resulting in breaking the cellular thermoresistance mechanism, on the other hand, ICG enriches in tumor site specifically and possesses a great thermal property to promoted PTT.

CONCLUSIONS:

In short, MGCN breaks the protective mechanism of cellular heat stress response by downregulating the expression of HSP70 proteins and significantly augments synergistic effects of photothermal/gene therapy via cascade augmented synergistic effects.
