Abstract

Multifunctional stimuli-responsive nanotheranostic systems are highly desirable for realizing simultaneous biomedical imaging and on-demand therapy with minimized adverse effects. Herein, we present the construction of an intelligent X-ray-controlled NO-releasing upconversion nanotheranostic system (termed as PEG-USMSs-SNO) by engineering UCNPs with S-nitrosothiol (R-SNO)-grafted mesoporous silica. The PEG-USMSs-SNO is designed to respond sensitively to X-ray radiation for breaking down the S-N bond of SNO to release NO, which leads to X-ray dose-controlled NO release for on-demand hypoxic radiosensitization besides upconversion luminescent imaging through UCNPs invitro and invivo. Thanks to the high live-body permeability of X-ray, our developed PEG-USMSs-SNO may provide a new technique for achieving depth-independent controlled NO release and positioned radiotherapy enhancement against deep-seated solid tumors.
