Towards Effective Photothermal/Photodynamic Treatment Using Plasmonic Gold Nanoparticles

Abstract: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of different size and shape are widely used as photosensitizers for cancer diagnostics and plasmonic photothermal (PPT)/photodynamic (PDT) therapy, as nanocarriers for drug delivery and laser-mediated pathogen killing, even the underlying mechanisms of treatment effects remain poorly understood. There is a need in analyzing and improving the ways to increase accumulation of AuNP in tumors and other crucial steps in interaction of AuNPs with laser light and tissues. In this review, we… Show more

“…Nevertheless, the AuNPs cannot inhibit SW620 cell viability as previously reported. 45 Although AuNPs alone have been shown to exert no impact on tumor growth in various studies, especially in photothermal therapy field; 46 however, different sizes of AuNPs show different effects in VEGF165-induced proliferation of HUVECs, the specific inhibitory effects of AuNPs size are better in 10-20 nm (diameter). 47 In our study, the nanosphere of AuNPs and the size of AuNPs used was 15 nm in our experiment, which was an effective size to inhibit the VEGF165-induced activation.…”

“…Many research groups have already demonstrated the advantageous plasmonic photothermal effect of gold nanorods for various applications. 13,21,[24][25][26][27][28] The microscopic study presented here allows to additionally investigate the mechanism of this effect and the subsequently induced cell death as well as the influence of the targeted delivery system mediated by the IL-6 receptor. In our experiments, we find that for the targeted delivery system, the time until cell death during PPTT is significantly shorter than for non-targeted delivery.…”
