Background: The exploitation of novel nanomaterials combining diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities within one single nanoplatform is challenging for tumor theranostics.
Methods: In this work, we synthesized dendrimer-modified gold nanorods for combinational gene therapy and photothermal therapy (PTT) of cancer cells. Seed-mediated synthesized gold nanorods were modified with GX1 peptide-modified amine-termi-nated generation 3 poly(amidoamine) dendrimers via Au-S bond. The obtained GX1 modified dendrimer-stabilized Au NRs (Au [email protected]) are performed as a gene delivery vector to gene (FAM172A) for computed tomography (CT) imaging, thermal imaging, photothermal therapy (PTT) and gene therapy of Colon cancer cells (HCT-8 cells).
Results: We find that Au NR @ PAMAM-GX1 can specifically deliver FAM172A to cancer cells with excellent transfection efficiency. The HCT-8 cells treated with the Au [email protected]/FAM172A under laser irradiation have a viability of 20.45%, which is much lower than the survival rate of other single-mode PTT treatment or single-mode gene therapy. In addition, animal experiment results confirm that Au [email protected]/FAM172A complexes can achieve tumor thermal imaging, PTT and gene therapy after tail vein injection.
Conclusion: The synthesized Au [email protected] is a potential nanoplatform for tumor imaging and treatment.
