? 2022Helicobacter pylori is a causative factor of various gastrointestinal tract diseases. As clinical antibiotic-based therapy for H. pylori infection might induce bacterial drug resistance, the in vivo eradication of H. pylori remains a huge challenge. In the present study, monoclonal antibody-conjugated liposomes loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) (HpAb-LiP-ICG) were successfully developed for targeted photoacoustic (PA) imaging-guided sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of H. pylori infection in vivo. HpAb-LiP-ICG showed high stability and favorable biocompatibility in acidic environment (pH 1.5) and was used for treating H. pylori-infected mice through oral administration. PA imaging showed that HpAb-LiP-ICG could precisely recognize and target H. pylori in the stomach. Following the targeting of HpAb-LiP-ICG to H. pylori, ICG was activated to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) for eliminating H. pylori under ultrasound (US) irradiation. Pathological analysis revealed that the HpAb-LiP-ICG-mediated SDT eradicated H. pylori without unintended toxicity to normal tissues. In conclusion, the HpAb-LiP-ICG-mediated SDT might shed new light on treating H. pylori infection, indicating the clinical translational prospects of this therapy in near future. Statement of significance: Traditional antibiotic-based therapy for Helicobacter pylori infections suffers from the risk of drug resistance. To meet this challenge, a monoclonal antibody-conjugated nanoliposome loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) (HpAb-LiP-ICG) was successfully developed, and efficient eradication of H. pylori was achieved in vivo by visual sonodynamic therapy (SDT). HpAb-LiP-ICG exhibited biocompatibility, targeting, and stability in the acidic microenvironment. Under ultrasound (US) irradiation in vitro, the HpAb-LiP-ICG nanoliposomes accumulated on the surface of H. pylori were activated to produce adequate singlet oxygen (1O2) to eliminate H. pylori. Gastric mucous tissues infected with H. pylori recovered to the normal state after HpAb-LiP-ICG-mediated SDT without side effects, thus highlighting the clinical translational prospects of the prepared HpAb-LiP-ICG nanoliposome in near future.
