Abstract
Theranostic agents that can be sensitively and specifically activated by the tumor microenvironment(TME)have recently attracted considerable attention.In this study,TME-activatable 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)-copper peroxide(CuO2)@poly(lactic-co-gly colic acid)(PLGA)@red blood cell membrane(RBCM)(TCPR)nanoparticles(NPs)for second near-infrared photoacoustic imaging-guided tumor-specific photothermal therapy were developed by co-loading CuO2 NPs and TMB into PLGA camouflaged by RBCMs.As an efficient H2O2 sup-plier,once exposed to a proton-rich TME,CuO2 NPs can generate H2O2 and Cu2+,which are further reduced to Cu+by endogenous glutathione.Subsequently,the Cu+-mediated Fenton-like reaction produces cytotoxic-OH to kill the cancer cells and induce TMB-mediated photoacoustic and photothermal effects.Combined with the RBCM modification-prolonged blood circulation,TCPR NPs display excellent specificity and efficiency in suppressing tumor growth,paving the way for more accurate,safe,and efficient cancer theranostics.
