Indocyanine Green-Loaded Silver Nanoparticle@Polyaniline Core/Shell Theranostic Nanocomposites for Photoacoustic/Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging-Guided and Single-Light-Triggered Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy.

Photoacoustic (PA)/near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) dual-modal imaging-guided phototherapy has been wide explored very recently. However, the development of high-efficiency and simplified-performed theranostic system for amplifying imaging-guided photothermal therapy/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) is still a great challenge. Herein, a single-light-triggered indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded PEGylation silver nanoparticle core/polyaniline shell (Ag@PANI) nanocomposites (ICG-Ag@PANI) for PA/NIRF imaging-guided enhanced PTT/PDT synergistic effect has been successfully constructed. In this study, the synthesized Ag@PANI nanocomposites are utilized not only as the promising photothermal agent but also as potential nanovehicles for loading photosensitizer ICG via π-π stacking and hydrophobic interaction. The as-prepared ICG-Ag@PANI possesses many superior properties such as strong optical absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region, enhanced photostability of ICG, as well as outstanding NIR laser-induced local hyperthermia and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In the in vivo study, PA/NIRF dual-modal imaging confirms the accumulation and distribution of ICG-Ag@PANI in the tumor region via enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Moreover, the PTT effect of ICG-Ag@PANI rapidly raised the tumor temperature to 56.8 °C within 5 min. It is also demonstrated that the cytotoxic ROS generation ability of ICG is well maintained after being loaded onto Ag@PANI nanocomposites. Remarkably, in comparison with PTT or PDT alone, the single 808 nm NIR laser-triggered combined PTT/PDT therapy exhibits enhanced HeLa cells lethality in vitro and tumor growth inhibition in vivo.
