To evaluate the potential of tumor-targeted nanoprobe, N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide copolymer-conjugated zinc protoporphyrin (PZP) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and tumor imaging. Different tumor models including carcinogen-induced cancer were used, PZP was intravenously injected followed by irradiation with xenon or blue fluorescent light on tumor. One PZP 20 mg/kg (ZnPP equivalent) dose with two or three treatments of light at an intensity of ≥20 J/cm2 caused necrosis and disappearance of most tumors (>70%) in different tumor models. We also confirmed PZP-based tumor imaging in carcinogen-induced breast tumor and colon cancer models. These findings support the potential application of PZP as a tumor-selective nanoprobe for PDT as well as tumor imaging, by virtue of the enhanced permeability and retention effect. To evaluate the potential of a tumor-targeted nanoprobe, PZP and normal xenon light source for photodynamic therapy and tumor imaging, different tumor models including cancer induced by carcinogen were used. In all models, a high accumulation of PZP in tumor was found after intravenous injection, resulting in remarkable therapeutic effect. These findings support further research to assess the potential application of PZP as a future nanomedicine for photodynamic cancer therapy and imaging in cancers of the esophagus, breast, lung, colon, rectum, urinary bladder and cervix.
