FeSe2-Decorated Bi2Se3 Nanosheets Fabricated via Cation Exchange for Chelator-Free (64)Cu-labeling and Multimodal Image-Guided Photothermal-Radiation Therapy.

Multifunctional theranostic agents have become rather attractive to realize image-guided combination cancer therapy. Herein, we develop a novel method to synthesize Bi2Se3 nanosheets decorated with mono-dispersed FeSe2 nanoparticles (FeSe2/Bi2Se3) for tetra-modal image-guided combined photothermal & radiation tumor therapy. Interestingly, upon addition of Bi(NO3)3, pre-made FeSe2 nanoparticles via cation exchange would be gradually converted into Bi2Se3 nanosheets, on which remaining FeSe2 nanoparticles are decorated. The yielded FeSe2/Bi2Se3 composite-nanostructures were then modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Taking advantages of the high r2 relaxivity of FeSe2, the X-ray attenuation ability of Bi2Se3, the strong near-infrared (NIR) optical absorbance of the whole nanostructure, as well as the chelate-free radiolabeling of (64)Cu on FeSe2/Bi2Se3-PEG, in vivo magnetic resonance (MR)/computer tomography (CT)/photoacoustic (PA)/position emission tomography (PET) multimodal imaging was carried out, revealing efficient tumor homing of FeSe2/Bi2Se3-PEG after intravenous injection. Utilizing the intrinsic physical properties of FeSe2/Bi2Se3-PEG, in vivo photothermal & radiation therapy to achieve synergistic tumor destruction was then realized, without causing obvious toxicity to the treated animals. Our work presents a unique method to synthesize composite-nanostructures with highly integrated functionalities, promising not only for nano-biomedicine, but also potentially for other different nanotechnology fields.
