Femto-second laser beam with a low power density achieved a two-photon photodynamic cancer therapy with quantum dots

Focusing the femto-second (fs) laser beam on the target was the usual way to carry out a two-photon excitation (TPE) in previous photodynamic therapy (PDT) studies. However, focusing the laser deep inside the tissues of the tumor is unrealistic due to tissue scattering, so that this focusing manner...

description Focusing the femto-second (fs) laser beam on the target was the usual way to carry out a two-photon excitation (TPE) in previous photodynamic therapy (PDT) studies. However, focusing the laser deep inside the tissues of the tumor is unrealistic due to tissue scattering, so that this focusing manner seems unfit for practical TPE PDT applications. In this work, we prepared a conjugate of quantum dots (QDs) and sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPcS) for TPE PDT, because QDs have a very high two-photon absorption cross section (TPACS) and thus QDs can be excited by an unfocused 800 nm fs laser beam with a low power density and then transfer the energy to a conjugated AlPcS via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The FRET efficiency of the QD-AlPcS conjugate in water was as high as 90%, and the FRET process of the cellular QD-AlPcS was also observed in both KB and HeLa cells under TPE of a 800 nm fs laser. The singlet oxygen ( O ) products were produced by the QD-AlPcS under the TPE of the unfocused 800 nm fs laser via FRET mediated PDT. Moreover, the QD-AlPcS can effectively destroy these cancer cells under the irradiation of the 800 nm unfocused fs laser beam with a power density of 92 mW mm , and particularly the killing efficiency of the TPE is comparable to that of the commonly used one-photon excitation (OPE) at visible wavelengths. These results highlight the potential of QD-AlPcS for TPE PDT with a near infrared wavelength.
