Improving Plasmonic Photothermal Therapy of Lung Cancer Cells with Anti-EGFR Targeted Gold Nanorods.
TLDR
It was shown that the combination of pulse wave laser illumination of targeted nanoparticles produced a reduction of 93%±13% in the cell viability compared with control exposures, which demonstrates a possible application for minimally invasive therapies for lung cancer.Abstract:
Lung cancer is a particularly difficult form of cancer to diagnose and treat, due largely to the inaccessibility of tumours and the limited available treatment options The development of plasmonic gold nanoparticles has led to their potential use in a large range of disciplines, and they have shown promise for applications in this area The ability to functionalise these nanoparticles to target to specific cancer types, when combined with minimally invasive therapies such as photothermal therapy, could improve long-term outcomes for lung cancer patients Conventionally, continuous wave lasers are used to generate bulk heating enhanced by gold nanorods that have accumulated in the target region However, there are potential negative side-effects of heat-induced cell death, such as the risk of damage to healthy tissue due to heat conducting to the surrounding environment, and the development of heat and drug resistance In this study, the use of pulsed lasers for photothermal therapy was investigated and compared with continuous wave lasers for gold nanorods with a surface plasmon resonance at 850 nm, which were functionalised with anti-EGFR antibodies Photothermal therapy was performed with both laser systems, on lung cancer cells (A549) in vitro populations incubated with untargeted and targeted nanorods It was shown that the combination of pulse wave laser illumination of targeted nanoparticles produced a reduction of 93 % ± 13 % in the cell viability compared with control exposures, which demonstrates a possible application for minimally invasive therapies for lung cancerread more

TL;DR: In this paper , a mesoporous shell (MSS) was used to provide a more robust plasmonic core protection than organic molecular/polymeric coatings, and improved heat flow from the NC to the environment due to a reduced interfacial thermal resistance and direct electron-phonon coupling through the interface.
