Bio-imaging and Photodynamic Therapy with Tetra Sulphonatophenyl Porphyrin (TSPP)-TiO2 Nanowhiskers: New Approaches in Rheumatoid Arthritis Theranostics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the major human joint diseases with unknown etiology, the early diagnosis and treatment of RA remains a challenge. In this contribution we have explored the possibility to utilize novel nanocomposites of tetera suplhonatophenyl porphyrin (TSPP) with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanowhiskers (TP) as effective bio-imaging and photodynamic therapeutic (PDT) agent for RA theranostics. Our observations demonstrate that TP solution PDT have an ameliorating effect on the RA by decreasing significantly the IL-17 and TNF-α level in blood serum and fluorescent imaging could enable us to diagnose the disease in subclinical stages and bio-mark the RA insulted joint.
