Abstract

An one-to-all optical diagnostic and therapeutic agent, referring to a single nanocatalyst synchronously displaying multiple optical biosensor and therapeutic modes, is still a remarkable promise because of its outstanding capability in tumor. However, nanocatalyst activity is significantly weakened by the limited light absorption property and catalytic efficiency. Here, a unique pyroelectric nanocatalyst, In2S3-CuInS2@red blood cell membrane (In2S3-CIS@RM), with excellent pyroelectric/photothermal conversion capability for boosted peroxidase-mimicking catalytic activity, is rationally developed. The In2S3-CIS@RM displays catalytic capacity by reacting Cu+ with H2O2 to produce highly toxic ·OH, promoted by 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light-mediated photothermal/pyroelectric therapy. By synergizing this three-modal effect, cancer suppression is realized with an obvious cancer inhibition rate after the introduction of In2S3-CIS@RM into the HepG2 cells and following 808 nm laser irradiation. Meanwhile, an optical biosensor array is constructed through In2S3-CIS@RM-triggered chromogenic reaction for a fast and accurate analysis of five antioxidants. Interestingly, this biosensor array is verified to be effective for accurate monitoring of invasive cancer in early cancer occurrence, benefiting from the superior catalytic activity of In2S3-CIS@RM and abnormal levels of antioxidants in cancer cells. Thus, this study provides an avenue for developing an NIR laser-activatable one-to-all optical diagnostic and therapeutic nanosystem.
