Self-Assembly MoS<sub>2</sub>@MnO<sub>2</sub> Nanoflowers\nfor the Fluorescence/Magnetic Resonance Dual-Modal Sensing of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and Photothermal Therapy

Abstract

The functions of bioimaging and photothermal therapy\nintegrated\ninto a theranostic nanosystem to prove its diagnostic and therapeutic\ncapabilities are desirable. The versatile molybdenum disulfide (MoS<sub>2</sub>) dots doped with manganese dioxide (MnO<sub>2</sub>) nanoflowers\n(MoS<sub>2</sub>@MnO<sub>2</sub> NFs) were designed for the dual-modal\nfluorescence/magnetic resonance (MR) sensing/imaging of intracellular\nH<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, as well as thermal/MR imaging-guided photothermal\ntherapy <i>in vivo</i>. The MnO<sub>2</sub> nanosheets in\nMoS<sub>2</sub>@MnO<sub>2</sub> NFs acted as an H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-mediated initiator, exhibiting fluorescence recovery and\nMn<sup>2+</sup>-related MR signal enhancement through specific H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced MnO<sub>2</sub> sheet degradation. Under\nthe optimal experimental conditions, a dual-modal fluorescence/MR\nsensor was used to quantitatively detect and image H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and intracellular H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, with a limit\nof detection (LOD) of 0.09 μM. Simultaneously, thermal-responsive\nMoS<sub>2</sub>@MnO<sub>2</sub> NFs showed robust photothermal cytotoxicity\ntoward cancer cells upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, allowing\nit to serve as a therapeutic drug for thermal/MR imaging-guided photothermal\ntherapy <i>in vivo</i>. This integrated theranostic nanosystem\ndemonstrated its power for multimodal bioimaging and enhanced therapeutic\ntherapy while reducing biotoxicity in mice.
