Gold-based nanomaterials with plasmonic properties exhibit various potentials for biomedical applications. In this work, gold nanoprisms (GNPs) was synthesized and then modified with LyP-1, a tumor-homing peptide, to improve the affinity of the GNPs to tumor cells, thus, to improve the efficacy of tumor-targeted photothermal therapy. The introduction of NIR dye 1R780 not only enabled the GNPs-based nanosystem with the surface-enhanced resonant Raman scattering (SERRS) property, but also enhanced the plasmonic photothermal property which delivering therapeutic heating by 660 nm laser irradiation. The obtained GNPs/IR780-LyP-1 presented significantly increased of photothermal conversion in vitro and in vivo, which resulted in enhanced tumor-targeting photothermal therapeutic efficacy after laser irradiation. Hence, the GNPs/IR780-LyP-1 prepared in this study can be served as a Raman-encoded molecular imaging candidate and photothermal therapy agents for future cancer treatment.
