Abstract
Smart nanomaterials constitute a new approach toward safer and more effective combined anti-cancer immunotherapy. In this study, polydopamine-multiprotein conjugates (DmPCs) that can be used for targeted delivery of multiple proteins to cells, realize imaging and combine the advantages of multiple treatment methods (photothermal therapy, chemodynamic therapy, and immunotherapy) can be synthesized and characterized. Proteins, as biological agents, are frequently used in this context, given their low toxicity in vivo. To overcome protein instability and short half-life in vivo, the use of several proteins in combination with selected nanomaterials to treat patients with melanoma is proposed. In addition to the synthesis and characterization of protein-bound nanoparticles, it is further demonstrated that several proteins can be efficiently delivered to tumor sites. DmPCs have a wide range of potential adaptability, which provides new opportunities for proteins in the field of treatment and imaging.
