PG - 31-41 LID - S0142-9612(15)00427-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2015.05.004 [doi] AB - We report here the design and facile synthesis of multifunctional gold nanostars based nanocomposites (MGSNs) through direct organosilica coating onto anisotropic gold nanostars followed by the conjugation of Gd chelates. The as-synthesized MGSNs possess strong NIR absorbance, SERS signal and enhanced T1-MR imaging capability with excellent dispersivity and uniform size, as well as great photothermal stability and Raman stability under photothermal conditions. Importantly, MGSNs present excellent performance in vivo after their intravenous injection for both MR and SERS imaging and the high efficiency for killing tumor cells through photothermal ablation with NIR irradiation. A combination of the high spatial resolution of MR and the exciting sub-cell-level sensitivity and resolution of SERS can provide comprehensive information about the tumor to achieve the optimized therapeutic outcome. Therefore, MGSNs are of great potential as a multifunctional nanoplatform for MR-SERS bimodal imaging-guided, focused photothermal tumor therapy. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
