ABSTRACT
Off-targeting toxicity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment still restrict the therapeutic requirement of photodynamic therapy (PDT). The development of metal ion-coordination-based nanoparticles (NPs) for cancer therapy has advantages, such as precious nanostructure and potent therapeutic effect as well as great safety. In this study, we prepared calcium ions (Ca2+)-coordination photosensitizer NPs, based on Ca2+-pyrochloric acid (PPA)-coordination as the new photosensitive nanoamplifiers, and microneedles (MNs) as the personalized apparatus, and investigated the nanoamplifiers for treating the melanoma via transdermal administration. This nanoamplifiers was synthesized via a simple coordination of Ca2+ and PPA with the addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA), and further fabricated into MNs (nanoamplifiers@MNs). Following inserted into the tumor, the released nanoamplifiers from the tips and back layer exhibited great photodynamic activity under irradiation, inducing cancer cell death. Meanwhile, Ca2+ acted as the second messenger, promoting M1 polarization of macrophages and maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), thereby enhancing the immune activation effect in the tumor microenvironment. As a result, such nanoamplifiers effectively achieved significant efficacy against malignant melanoma tumors by synergistically tumor killing and potent anti-tumor immune activation without obviously side effect. This work demonstrated the potential of MNs-mediated metal ion-coordination-based nanoamplifier as a novel photodynamic therapeutic platform for the efficient and safe treatment of cancer.
