Abstract:
Radiosensitizers potentiate the radiotherapy effect while effectively reducing the damage to healthy tissues. However, limited sample accumulation efficiency and low radiation energy deposition in the tumor significantly reduce the therapeutic effect. Herein, we developed multifunctional photocatalysis-powered dandelion-like nanomotors composed of amorphous TiO2 components and Au nanorods (similar to 93 nm in length and similar to 16 nm in outer diameter) by a ligand-mediated interface regulation strategy for NIR-II photoacoustic imaging-guided synergistically enhanced cancer radiotherapy. The non-centrosymmetric nanostructure generates stronger local plasmonic near-fields close to the Au-TiO2 interface. Moreover, the Au-TiO2 Schottky heterojunction greatly facilitates the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, enabling hot electron injection, finally leading to highly efficient plasmon-enhanced photocatalytic activity. The nanomotors exhibit superior motility both in vitro and in vivo, propelled by H-2 generated via NIR-catalysis on one side of the Au nanorod, which prevents them from returning to circulation and effectively improves the sample accumulation in the tumor. Additionally, a high radiation dose deposition in the form of more hydroxyl radical generation and glutathione depletion is authenticated. Thus, synergistically enhanced radiotherapeutic efficacy is achieved in both a subcutaneous tumor model and an orthotopic model.
