利用金属有机框架材料ZIF-8包裹二硫化钼(MoS
2)纳米片和阿霉素(DOX)构建一种可通过酸性pH和近红外(NIR)光双触发的肿瘤化学/光热协同治疗体系。首先,通过水热反应和超声处理制备粒径为~100 nm、厚度为0.31.4 nm的MoS
2纳米片。然后,通过一步法将可酸降解的金属有机框架ZIF8包裹在所制备的MoS
2纳米片上,并同时装载抗肿瘤药物DOX,形成装载DOX的ZIF-8包裹MoS
2纳米复合物(
DOX/MoS2@ZIF-8)。将该纳米复合物应用到肿瘤细胞的化学/光热协同治疗:当处于酸性条件(例如:溶酶体中pH大约为5)和NIR激光(780 nm,2.1 W/cm
2)照射的情况下,DOX/MoS
2@ZIF8纳米复合物上包裹的ZIF-8金属有机框架会发生酸降解,释放出所包裹的DOX,细胞质中的DOX可以进入细胞核中诱导细胞凋亡;同时,MoS
2纳米片能够将光能转换为热能,光致高温同样能诱导细胞凋亡,因此,化学/光热协同肿瘤治疗得以实现。细胞存活率试验证明:该
DOX/MoS2@ZIF-8纳米复合物在SMMC-7721细胞上表现出良好的化学/光热协同治疗作用,能够对肿瘤细胞进行高效地杀伤。
Here, we report a novel metal-organic framework ZIF-8based nanocomposite with encapsulated molybdenum disulfide(MoS
2)nanosheets and doxorubicin(DOX)for pH- and NIR-triggered synergistic chemo/photothermal treatment of cancer cells. First, MoS
2 nanosheets, which have uniform size of ~100 nm and topological height of 0.3~1.4 nm, are synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and ultrasonic treatment. Subsequently,an aciddegradable metalorganic framework ZIF-8 is employed to synchronously encapsulate MoS
2 nanosheets and anticancer drug DOX to obtain DOX loaded ZIF-8 coated MoS
2 (
DOX/MoS2@ZIF-8)nanocomposites by onestep method. The nanocomposites are used for chemo/photothermal synergistic treatment of cancer cells: under acid conditions (e.g. pH 5.0 in a lysosome)and NIR laser irradiation (780 nm, 2.1 W/cm
2), the ZIF-8 of the
DOX/MoS2@ZIF-8 nanocomposites can be degraded, resulting in the release of encapsulated DOX, the cytosolic DOX can enter the nucleus to induce apoptosis. Meanwhile, the MoS
2 nanosheets can effectively convert NIR laser light energy into heat energy, the photoinduced hyperthermia can also induce apoptosis. Thus, chemo/photothermal synergistic cancer therapy is realized. Cell viability assays show that this
DOX/MoS2@ZIF-8 nanocomposites have an excellent chemo/photothermal synergistic treatment effect on SMMC7721 cells, which can kill the tumor cells efficiently.
