Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)has been known as the second common leading cancer worldwide,as it responds poorly to both chemotherapy and medication.Triptolide(TP),a diterpenoid triepoxide,is a promising treatment agent for its effective anticancer effect on multiple cancers including HCC.However,its clinical application has been limited owing to its severe systemic toxicities,low sol-ubility,and fast elimination in the body.Therefore,to overcome the above obstacles,photo-activatable liposomes(LP)integrated with both photosensitizer Ce6 and chemotherapeutic drug TP(TP/Ce6-LP)was designed in the pursuit of controlled drug release and synergetic photodynamic therapy in HCC therapy.The TP encapsulated in liposomes accumulated to the tumor site due to the enhanced perme-ability and retention(EPR)effect.Under laser irradiation,the photosensitizer Ce6 generated reactive ox-ygen species(ROS)and further oxidized the unsaturated phospholipids.In this way,the liposomes were destroyed to release TP.TP/Ce6-LP with NIR laser irradiation(TP/Ce6-LP+L)showed the best anti-tumor effect both in vitro and in vivo on a patient derived tumor xenograft of HCC(PDXHCC).TP/Ce6-LP significantly reduced the side effects of TP.Furthermore,TP/Ce6-LP+L induced apoptosis through a caspase-3/PARP signaling pathway.Overall,TP/Ce6-LP+L is a novel potential treatment op-tion in halting HCC progression with attenuated toxicity.
