Background: The biodistribution of liposomal ICG and the optimal clinical strategy for PDT using liposomal ICG is unclear because of the lack of clinical evidences.

Purpose: This case-series study aimed to evaluate the biodistribution of liposomal ICG in patients with breast cancer undergoing PDT.

Method And Result: Four patients with breast cancer underwent PDT with liposomal ICG in addition to a transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)from August 2020 to October 2020. Patients were administered 300 mg liposomal ICG(180 mg intravenously and 120 mg intratumorally via the feeding artery) 24 hours before PDT during a TACE procedure. We used near-infrared fluorescence(NIR)imaging system(LIGHTVISION®; Shimadzu Corporation)to detect the biodistribution of liposomal ICG. The peak intratumoral liposomal ICG uptake was shown 24 hours after liposomal ICG administration in 3 patients. Only 1 patient had peak uptake at 6 hours, with no uptake at 24 hours.

Conclusion: NIR-imaging system may be and adjuvant in evaluation of liposomal ICG biodistribution in patients with breast cancer and assisting in the decision-making for the use of PDT with liposomal ICG.

State Key Laboratory of Pathogenesis Prevention and Treatment of High Incidence Diseases in Central Asia, School of Medical Engineering and Technology Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, 830011, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: A synergistic treatment strategy of phototherapy and chemotherapy has been shown to improve efficacy and offer unique advantages over monotherapy. The purpose of this study is to explore a new nanocarrier system with liposome as the inner membrane and erythrocyte membrane as the outer membrane, which aims to realize the leak-free load of phototherapy drug indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX), prolong the circulation time in vivo and improve the therapeutic effect.

Patients And Methods: In this study, bilayer membrane-loaded ICG and DOX nanoparticles (RBC@ICG-DOX NPs) were prepared and characterized.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating a new drug delivery system using dual-ligand-modified liposomes to target glioma, with the goal of overcoming the blood-brain barrier and improving drug effectiveness.
  • Researchers used a specific technique to prepare liposomes that co-load a photosensitizer (ICG) and a chemotherapeutic drug (MTO), and tested their properties and ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier while targeting glioma cells.
  • Results showed that the modified liposomes were stable, capable of effectively penetrating the blood-brain barrier, concentrating in glioma cells, and exhibited strong anti-tumor effects, highlighting their potential in improving glioma treatment.

Real-time visualization of messenger RNA (mRNA) is essential for tumor classification, grading, and staging. However, the low signal-to-background ratios and nonspatiotemporal specific signal amplification restricted the in vivo imaging of mRNA. In this study, a near-infrared (NIR) light-activated DNA nanodevice (DND) was developed for spatiotemporal in vivo fluorescence imaging of mRNA.

Cell membrane-coated nanomaterials are increasingly recognized as effective in cancer treatment due to their unique benefits. This study introduces a novel hybrid membrane coating nanoparticle, termed cancer cell membrane (CCM)-outer membrane vesicle (OMV)@Lip-indocyanine green (ICG), which combines CCMs with bacterial OMV to encapsulate ICG-loaded liposomes. Comprehensive analyses were conducted to assess its physical and chemical properties as well as its functionality.

Article Synopsis
  • Indocyanine green (ICG) J-aggregates (IJA) show enhanced imaging and heating properties compared to monomeric ICG but have stability issues in biological environments.
  • Researchers studied how different lipid compositions in liposomes affect IJA stability and performance, finding that high cholesterol and PEG-lipid content, along with low charged lipids, contributes to better performance.
  • The IJA-liposomes demonstrated high biocompatibility and efficient photothermal effects in cancer models, and they cleared the body safely, with less liver accumulation compared to monomeric ICG, indicating their potential as alternatives for imaging and cancer therapy.
