The precise delivery of drugs to tumor sites and the thermoresistance of tumors remain major challenges in photothermal therapy (PTT). Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is proposed as an ideal target for the precise treatment of SCLC. We developed a targeting nano-drug delivery system comprising anti-SSTR2 monoclonal antibody (MAb) surface-modified nanoparticles co-encapsulating Cypate and gambogic acid (GA). The formed SGCPNs demonstrated excellent monodispersity, physiological stability, preferable biocompatibility, and resultant efficient photothermal conversion efficacy. SGCPNs were quickly internalized by SSTR2-overexpressing SCLC cells, triggering the release of GA under acidic and near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation environments, leading to their escape from lysosomes to the cytosol and then diffusion into the nucleus. SGCPNs can not only decrease the cell survival rate but also inhibit the activity of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). SGCPNs can be precisely delivered to xenograft tumors of SSTR2-positive SCLC in vivo. Upon NIR laser irradiation, therapy of SGCPNs showed significant tumor regression. In conclusion, SGCPNs provide a new chemo-photothermal synergistic treatment strategy for targeting SCLC.
