Abstract
The anticancer effect of phototherapy has been limited by some factors, including the easy degradation of photo agents, the complex tumor microenvironment, and the limited immune activation capacity, which impedes its efficiency in inhibiting tumor growth and tumor metastasis. Herein, Mn-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles were synthesized to load the photo agent of IR 780, which were further coated with Mn (IMM). Notably, the combination of IMM and an 808 nm laser irradiation simultaneously inhibited the growth of primary tumors and distant untreated tumors in a bilateral animal model, which could be attributed to the protection of IMM to IR 780, the regulation functions to the tumor microenvironment, as well as the enhanced immune activation capacity. This work highlighted an alternative strategy for enhancing the inhibitory effect on both tumor growth and tumor metastasis in the combinational anticancer therapy of phototherapy and immunotherapy (photo-immunotherapy).
