Abstract

Combination of photoacoustic (PA) and ultrasound (US) imaging offers high spatial resolution images with deep tissue penetration, which shows great potential in applications in medical imaging. Development of PA/US dual-contrast agents with high contrast and excellent biocompatibility is of great interest. Herein, an organic semiconducting photoacoustic nanodroplet, PS-PDI-PAnD, is developed by stabilizing low-boiling-point perfluorocarbon (PFC) droplet with a photoabsorber and photoacoustic agent of perylene diimide (PDI) molecules and coencapsulating the droplet with photosensitizers of ZnFPc molecules. Upon irradiation, the PDI acts as an efficient photoabsorber to trigger the liquid-to-gas phase transition of the PFC, resulting in dual-modal PA/US imaging contrast as well as photothermal heating. On the other hand, PFC can serve as an O reservoir to overcome the hypoxia-associated resistance in cancer therapies, especially in photodynamic therapy. The encapsulated photosensitizers will benefit from the sustained oxygen release from the PFC, leading to promoted photodynamic efficacy regardless of pre-existing hypoxia in the tumors. When intravenously injected into tumor-bearing mice, the PS-PDI-PAnDs show a high tumor accumulation via EPR effect. With a single 671 nm laser irradiation, the PS-PDI-PAnDs exhibit a dual-modal PA/US imaging-guided synergistic photothermal and oxygen self-enriched photodynamic treatment, resulting in complete tumor eradication and minimal side effects. The PS-PDI-PAnDs represents a type of PFC nanodroplets for synergistic PDT/PTT treatment upon a single laser irradiation, which is expected to hold great potential in the clinical translation in dual-modal PA/US imaging-guided combinational cancer therapy.
