Abstract Photothermal therapy is favored by cancer researchers due to its advantages such as controllable initiation, direct killing and immune promotion. However, the low enrichment efficiency of photosensitizer in tumor site limited effect single use limits further development photothermal therapy. Herein, a photo-responsive multifunctional nanosystem was designed for therapy, which myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) membrane vesicle encapsulated decitabine-loaded black phosphorous (BP) nanosheets (BP@ Decitabine @MDSCs, named BDM). The BDM demonstrated excellent biosafety biochemical characteristics, providing suitable microenvironment killing. First, achieves ability be highly enriched at sites inheriting MDSCs actively target microenvironment. And then, BP hyperthermia induces mitochondrial damage photodynamic properties, enhancing anti-tumor immunity mediated immunogenic death (ICD). Meanwhile, intra-tumoral release decitabine induced G2/M cycle arrest, promoting apoptosis. In vivo, BMD showed significant inhibition growth with down-regulation PCNA expression increased high mobility group B1 (HMGB1), calreticulin (CRT) caspase 3. Flow cytometry revealed significantly decreased infiltration M2-macrophages along an proportion CD4 + , CD8 T cells well CD103 DCs, suggesting potentiated response. summary, realizes therapy/photodynamic synergized chemotherapy cancer.

The rapid rise in research and development following the discovery of photodynamic therapy to establish novel photosensitizers overcome limitations technology soon after its clinical translation has given a few significant milestones. These include several generations photosensitizers, widening scope applications, leveraging offerings nanotechnology for greater efficacy, selectivity disease over host tissue cells, advent combination therapies with other similarly minimally invasive therapeutic technologies, use stimulus-responsive delivery targeting, penetration depth activation energy. Brought together, all these milestones have contributed enhancement what is still arguably technology. Yet major applications remain firmly located neoplasms, from where most new innovations appear launch areas, such as microbial, fungal, viral, acne, wet age-related macular degeneration, atherosclerosis, psoriasis, environmental sanitization, pest control, dermatology. Three main value propositions combinations synergistic additive relatively low emergence resistance targeted high-precision therapy. Combinations established methods chemotherapy radiotherapy demonstrated mop-up surgery promise enhance top three tools. From published vitro preclinical studies, trials postclinical case seven become prominent interests because they are potentially easily applied, showing enhanced rapidly translating clinic. chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, magnetic hyperthermia, cold plasma sonodynamic immunotherapy, radiotherapy.
