Abstract

This work demonstrated the application of graphene-Au Nanostars hybridized system (denoted as GO/AuNS-PEG) in single wavelength laser induced synergistic photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) and effective cancer photothermal/fluorescence multimode imaging. GO/AuNS-PEG showed excellent biocompatibility and high dual-enhanced photothermal efficiency under the near-infrared laser irradiation that was very promise for deep tumor imaging. By combining with the photosensitizer Chlorin e6, both in vitro and in vivo data confirmed the efficient photoablation of the EMT6 tumors through the synergistic PDT and PTT effect under the activation of a single wavelength laser.
