Abstract
Precise magnetic hyperthermia/chemo synergistic therapy has attracted great attention as a promising cancer therapy. However, how to improve the hyperthermia efficiency and precisely control the drug release in vivo are still challenging issues associated with the clinical precision medicine of cancers. To solve these problems, magnetic vortex Fe3O4@PVP@DOX nanostructures with magneto-triggered on-demand hyperthermia, magnetic responsive controllable drug delivery functions, and MRI T2-weighted signal enhancement were successfully developed for the hyperthermia and chemotherapy synergetic theranostic of cancers. This strategy utilizes the advantage of magnetic field stimulus which can be on-demand applied to any organ without taking account of the depth. In vitro experiments reveal the excellent on-demand heating efficiency, magnetic-responsive drug release, high MRI T2 signals and low cytotoxicity. More importantly, the results of in vivo animal experiments show that the magnetic vortex nanoplatform can effectively perform magnetic response on-demand heat therapy, and DOX drug release in the presence of a magnetic field, leading to an efficient synergistic effect in inhibiting tumor growth without any side effect. Therefore, these magnetic-responsive magnetic vortex nanostructures provide us a new strategy for the development of next-generation stimuli-responsive multifunctional theranostic platform for the clinical precision medicine of cancers.
