The study developed a mitochondrial-targeted drug delivery system which can release drugs in a GSH-dependent manner and achieve near-infrared fluorescence imaging of mitochondria. This system shows promising activity in anti-tumor therapy.
Mitochondria, as the energy factory of most cells, are not only responsible for the generation of adenosine triphosphoric acid (ATP) but also essential targets for therapy and diagnosis of various diseases, especially cancer. The safe and potential nanoplatform which can deliver various therapeutic agents to cancer cells and mitochondrial targeted imaging is urgently required. Herein, Au nanoparticles (AuNPs), mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), cationic ligand (triphenylphosphine (TPP)), doxorubicin (DOX), and carbon nanodots (CDs) were utilized to fabricate mitochondrial targeting drug delivery system (denoted as CDs(DOX)@MSN-TPP@AuNPs). Since AuNPs, as the gatekeepers, can be etched by intracellular glutathione (GSH) via ligand exchange induced etching process, DOX can be released into cells in a GSH-dependent manner which results in the superior GSH-modulated tumor inhibition activity. Moreover, after etching by GSH, the CDs(DOX)@MSN-TPP@AuNPs can serve as promising fluorescent probe (lambda(ex) = 633 nm, lambda(em) = 650 nm) for targeted imaging of mitochondria in living cells with near-infrared fluorescence. The induction of apoptosis derived from the membrane depolarization of mitochondria is the primary anti-tumor route of CDs(DOX)@MSN-TPP@AuNPs. As a kind of GSH-responsive mitochondrial targeting nanoplatform, it holds great promising for effective cancer therapy and mitochondrial targeted imaging.
