Cancer is a commonly diagnosed disease and the second leading cause of deaths in the US Common diagnostic modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and optical imaging have mixed results as a stand-alone system due to individual limitations such as low sensitivity, low spatial resolution, toxicity of contrast agents, and inaccurate diagnosis due to non-specific targeting of contrast agents to the cancer site.[1] Dual-/multi-modal imaging systems bearing the advantages of specific individual imaging modalities may overcome the limitations associated with the stand-alone systems.[2] For instance, MRI provides exceptional tissue contrast, penetration depth, and high spatial resolution, whereas fluorescence imaging provides extremely high sensitivity. Therefore, a dual-imaging modality combining MRI contrast and fluorescent agents will be able to diagnose cancers in early stage pre-operatively and intra-operatively with better accuracy. To improve the diagnostic accuracy and reduce the significant side effects to normal healthy cells, site-specific targeting of imaging contrast agents is required.[3] Although passive delivery of nanoparticles through leaky tumor vasculature shows some success, active targeting strategies will add more specificity for cancer targeting.[4] Cell-selective nanoparticles specifically target and deliver the payloads to cancer cells, minimizing the side effects observed in systemic drug administration due to the delivery of payloads to healthy cells. Research on the development of cancer targeting nanoparticle systems has been focused mainly on conjugating antibodies, peptides, or aptamers for actively transporting nanoparticles to cancer cells. Other targeting strategies include magnetic targeting that aids in the nanoparticle accumulation at the targeted site under a magnetic field.[5] Herein, we report the development of dualimaging enabled cancer-targeting nanoparticles (DICT-NPs) based on the breakthrough development of biodegradable photoluminescent polymers [6] and the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe 3O 4) nanoparticles. Dual-imaging nanoparticles have gained significant attention in recent years. Examples include rhodamine/FITC-labeled paramagnetic nanoparticles,[7] DiI/DiR dye loaded-polyacrylic acid-coated iron oxide nanoparticles,[8] quantum dot-coated iron oxide nanoparticles,[9] and Cy5. 5-labeled PEG/chitosan-coated iron oxide nanoparticles.[10, 11] However, the fluorescent tags used in these systems are known to either be toxic or display photobleaching. Moreover, incorporating imaging agents in nanoparticles may result in increased particle sizes, added complexity, and higher risk of adverse biological reactions. We have recently developed water-soluble and water-insoluble biodegradable photoluminescent polymers (WBPLP and BPLP, respectively), which do not contain photobleaching organic dyes and cytotoxic quantum dots.[6] The degradability of the polymers and the superior photoluminescent properties such as high quantum yield, photobleaching resistance, and tunable emission up to near infrared area, makes them unique. BPLPs have demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and great potential for bioimaging both in vitro and in vivo.[6] Along with the development of BPLPs, we have also developed a series of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm)-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for controlled and targeted drug delivery.[12, 13] In addition to their use as contrast agents for MRI, MNPs have also been used as carriers to deliver, recruit, and retain therapeutic agents to specific disease sites …
