Engineered Perfluorochemical Cancer-Derived Exosomes Loaded with Indocyanine Green and Camptothecin Provide Targeted Photochemotherapy for Effective Cancer Treatment by Lee YH, Huang CY

“…In this study, melanoma-derived exosomes were used to develop a perfluorocarbon (PFC) drug nanocarriers loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and camptothecin (CPT) (ICFESs) for targeted cancer photochemotherapy.Methods: The ICFESs were fabricated by emulsification approach and characterized through instrumental detection. The capabilities of the ICFESs on tumor targeting, intratumoral retention, and cancer photochemotherapy were evaluated using melanoma tumor-bearing mice in association with histological studies and serum marker analyses.Results: ICFESs can be rapidly internalized by homologous melanoma cells, induce hyperthermia and increase the yield of singlet oxygen upon exposure to near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. …”
