Photothermal therapy (PTT), as a promising antineoplastic therapeutic strategy, has been harnessed to restrain tumor growth through near-infrared (NIR) irradiation mediated thermal ablation. Nevertheless, its biological applications are hampered by thermal diffusion and up-regulated heat shock proteins (HSPs). Herein, a versatile nanotheranostic agent is developed via integrating Zn0.2Fe2.8O4 nanoparticles (NPs), polydopamine (PDA), and MnO2 NPs for T1/T2 dual-modal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided and self-augmented PTT. The as-designed Zn0.2Fe2.8O4@PDA@MnO2 NPs adequately serve as a PTT agent to realize effective photothermal conversion and obtain local hyperthermia. Additionally, the Zn0.2Fe2.8O4@PDA@MnO2 NPs can significantly consume overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and generate Mn2+ in the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus destroying redox homeostasis and catalytically generating hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) for HSP suppression and PTT enhancement. Meanwhile, Mn2+ and Zn0.2Fe2.8O4 NPs significantly strengthen T1- and T2-weighted MR contrast for tumor imaging and PTT guidance. Hence, this study offers proof of concept for self-augmented PTT and T1/T2 dual-modal MR imaging for tumor elimination.
