摘要
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a representative non-invasive method of cancer therapy, but its low therapeutic efficacy and risk of damage to surrounding normal tissue hinder its further clinical development and application. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) kills tumor cells through reactive oxygen molecules produced by sonosensitizers during ultrasound treatment. SDT can enhance HIFU efficacy like microbubbles. In this work, we developed nanoscale N2O microbubbles (N2O-mbs) by an improved mechanical oscillation method. These microbubbles showed good biocompatibility and tumor cell binding. The sonosensitivity of the N2O-mbs was detected both extracellularly and intracellularly through the detection of reactive oxygen species generation. The toxic effects of these sonodynamic microbubbles on tumor cells and the synergistic effect on HIFU treatment were evaluated. Significant apoptosis was caused by reactive oxygen species produced by N2O-mbs under ultrasound irradiation. N2O-mbs combined with HIFU increased tumor cell necrosis and apoptosis in vitro and the coagulative necrotic volume and echo intensity in the bovine liver target area ex vivo. These sonodynamic microbubbles have been also demonstrated to efficiently inhibit tumor growth in vivo. N2O-mbs have a significant impact on the treatment and ablation effect of HIFU due to the advantages of microbubble and extraordinary sonosensitivity. This finding suggests that N2O-mbs may be a novel auxiliary agent for ultrasound that can be used to promote HIFU tumor thermal ablation.
