Abstract
Phototheranostics integrating optical imaging and phototherapy has attracted extensive attention. Achieving nanophototherapeutics with near infrared (NIR)-light synchronously triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is challenging. Herein, we develop a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform prepared from the co-assembly of NIR boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) with a cooperative D-π-A structure of a thiophene-BODIPY core and benzene-diethylamino, and a choline phosphate lipid. The as-fabricated nanoparticles (DBNPs) exhibited desirable NIR absorption, uniform spherical morphology and good colloidal stability. The elaborate molecular design and supramolecular assembly endowed DBNPs with desirable PDT and PTT activities. Upon 808 nm laser irradiation, the DBNPs efficiently generated active singlet oxygen and regional hyperpyrexia, with a photothermal conversion efficiency of 37.6%. The excellent PDT and PTT performance of DBNPs boosted the potent in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor effects. In addition, these nanoparticles manifested their good capability of NIR fluorescence imaging of tumors. Overall, the DBNPs provide a paradigm for delivering hydrophobic phototherapy molecules with phospholipids for enhanced tumor treatment and imaging.

Abstract
Phototherapy is a new method to treat tumor, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT). However, the GSH in tumor cells could deplete ROS produced by photosensitizers, resulting in inadequate PDT. Isothiocyanate not only is a new type of anti-tumor drug, but also may combine with GSH, increasing the content of intracellular ROS and improving PDT effect. Here we synthesized a kind of water-soluble nanoparticles (BN NPs) parceling BODIPY-I-35 up with mPEG-ITC and lecithin. mPEG-ITC can react with GSH in tumor cells to reduce the consumption of ROS. BN NPs can be used as vectors to deliver drugs to tumor sites. Under 808 nm laser irradiation, BN NPs solution increased 13 °C within 10 min, indicating that BN NPs had superb photothermal performance. In vitro experiments, low dose BN NPs showed satisfactory PDT and PTT effects, and the cell viability of MCF-7 cell was only 13%. In vivo, BN NPs with excellent biocompatibility showed favorable phototherapy effect and tumor was effectively inhibited. Fluorescence imaging could present the long retention effect of BN NPs in tumor locations. In conclusion, the BN NPs showed the effect of enhancing phototherapy and provided a remarkable application prospect in the phototherapy of tumor cells.

Abstract
Typically, nanomedicine was prepared using a nanocarrier to load cargo for specific purposes. In this work, a carrier-free nanosystem for imaging and photodynamic (PDT)/chemo combination therapy was developed using simple self-assembly of a dye and a chemotherapeutic agent. The resulting nanoparticles (I2-IR783/MTX@NPs) exhibited a spherical morphology with a size of 240.6 ± 2.5 nm. I2-IR783/MTX@NPs had substantial internalization in 4T1 murine breast cancer cells and showed a synergistic anticancer effect after NIR light irradiation. Additionally, the 3D tumor model exhibits the same phototoxicity of nanoparticles as a 2D cell culture. The PDT efficiency of the nanosystem in the physiological environment was confirmed by the detection of intracellular reactive oxygen species as well as the live/dead viability/cytotoxicity assay following NIR light exposure. In addition, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used as an alternative tool to monitor the response after treatment. Therefore, I2-IR783/MTX@NPs show great potential use in theranostic application for breast cancer PDT-chemotherapy.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles with large size exhibit preferable properties for photothermal therapy (PTT). However, the prolonged tissue retention and slow elimination of gold nanoparticles limit their therapeutic applications. Previously, gold nanoclusters carrying lipid nanoparticles (Au-LNPs) have been reported after simply mixing Au3+ with preformed diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid lipid nanoparticles to solve this contradiction. Au-LNPs demonstrated enhanced photothermal effects in comparison to neat gold nanoparticles. To further improve the photothermal activity, we introduced the organic photothermal agent boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) to Au-LNPs for synergistic PTT. Au- and BODIPY-grafted LNPs (AB-LNPs) were formed by simply mixing Au-LNPs with BODIPY. The BODIPY could be associated stably to Au-LNPs, and the release of BODIPY from AB-LNPs could be accelerated by laser irradiation. AB-LNPs are scalable and showed excellent photothermal effects. AB-LNPs showed enhanced cellular uptake efficiency compared to free BODIPY in 4T1 breast cancer cells. Under laser irradiation, AB-LNPs exhibited synergistic photothermal effects with significantly reduced dosage compared to monotherapy (treatments with Au-LNPs or free BODIPY alone). This study thus provides a facile and adaptive strategy for the development of a scalable and safe high-performance nanoplatform for synergistic PTT in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

Abstract
Although many treatments have been developed for oncotherapy, the lack of effective imaging guidance in the therapeutic process is still an urgent problem to be solved. In this study, magnetic resonance contrast agent (Gd) chelated on CuS nanoparticles and glucose oxidase (GOx) were coloaded into mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) to form GOx-Gd-CuS@MSNs, in which the Gd provided magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for therapeutic process monitor while GOx could catalyze the generation of H2O2 to enhance the photodynamic therapy (PDT). The in vitro results show that under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation (2 W·cm-2, 5 min), temperature rapidly increased by approximately 30 °C for the accumulation of heat. At the same time, GOx on GOx-Gd-CuS@MSNs effectively consumed glucose to produce a large amount of H2O2, which was used to augment PDT through producing highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2). The photothermal and augmented-photodynamic could induce apoptosis and death of tumor cells. More importantly, the study found that GOx-Gd-CuS@MSNs had MRI performance, which provided imaging guidance during the treatment process, and it can monitor the diffusion of water molecules in the tumor tissue during the treatment and microcirculation perfusion of capillary network. These results indicate that the nanomaterial produced significant synergistic therapeutic effects through photothermal and photodynamic forces, meanwhile showed excellent spatial resolution and deep tissue penetration in imaging.

Abstract
Phototherapy is a new treatment means for cancer which can reduce the side effects of traditional cancer treatments to humans. Urea is a naturally occurring metabolite in the human body. Some studies have shown that it can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and cause oxidative stress. In order to explore the application of urea in enhancing the phototherapy effect, we synthesized a new structure photosensitizer (BODIPY-I-35) with good phototherapeutic effect and encapsulated it in liposomes. Compared with free BODIPY-I-35, water-soluble nanoliposomes (LipoBOD) produced a huge redshift (> 122 nm) of fluorescence emission in solution. When LipoBOD was irradiated with 808 nm laser (1 W/cm2) for 10 min, the temperature contrast increased by 20 °C, which was 4 times higher than free BODIPY-I-35. Confocal microscopy showed appreciable accumulation of LipoBOD in HeLa cells. In addition, when LipoBOD was incubated with urea in HeLa cells, we found that urea not only obviously enhanced the production of ROS, but also increased the apoptosis of HeLa cells. The synergistic effect of LipoBOD (20 μg/mL, at BODIPY-I-35-eq) with urea (250 mM) showed significantly higher phototoxicity than LipoBOD alone. Low dose can reduce the cell viability to 10%. Therefore, we have obtained an effective method of using urea to enhance the phototherapy effect.
