Abstract
Target-specific reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based cancer treatments with high therapeutic efficacy and minimal side effects have been identified recently as a potentially effective cancer management strategy. Herein, we report the fabrication of a targeted nanotheranostic agent built on an iron oxide nanoparticle-decorated graphene–gold hybrid [plasmonic magnetic nanoprobe (PMNP)] for self-guided magnetic resonance (MR)/surface-enhanced Raman scattering imaging and photothermal therapy (PTT)/chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In the presence of glutathione, which is abundant in the tumor environment, the iron oxide nanoparticles undergo in situ reduction, which in turn generates hydroxyl radicals via a Fenton reaction to realize targeted destruction of tumor cells. Moreover, the localized production of heat benefited from the near-infrared absorption of the PMNP accelerates the intratumoral ROS generation process, with a synergistic effect of CDT/PTT. Furthermore, the probe offers an accurate visualization of the intracellular localization of the material through SERS/MR dual imaging channels. In view of the advantages offered by the tumor-specific stimuli-responsive nature of the probe, the PMNP presents as an effective tool for cancer management.
