Abstract:

Bimodal imaging with fluorescence in the second near infrared window (NIR-II) and positron emission tomography (PET) has important significance for tumor diagnosis and management because of complementary advantages. It remains challenging to develop NIR-II/PET bimodal probes with high fluorescent brightness. Herein, bioinspired nanomaterials (melanin dot, mesoporous silica nanoparticle, and supported lipid bilayer), NIR-II dye CH-4T, and PET radionuclide 64 Cu are integrated into a hybrid NIR-II/PET bimodal nanoprobe. The resultant nanoprobe exhibits attractive properties such as highly uniform tunable size, effective payload encapsulation, high stability, dispersibility, and biocompatibility. Interestingly, the incorporation of CH-4T into the nanoparticle leads to 4.27-fold fluorescence enhancement, resulting in brighter NIR-II imaging for phantoms in vitro and in situ. Benefiting from the fluorescence enhancement, NIR-II imaging with the nanoprobe is carried out to precisely delineate and resect tumors. Additionally, the nanoprobe is successfully applied in tumor PET imaging, showing the accumulation of the nanoprobe in a tumor with a clear contrast from 2 to 24 h postinjection. Overall, this hierarchically nanostructured platform is able to dramatically enhance fluorescent brightness of NIR-II dye, detect tumors with NIR-II/PET imaging, and guide intraoperative resection. The NIR-II/PET bimodal nanoprobe has high potential for sensitive preoperative tumor diagnosis and precise intraoperative image-guided surgery.
