Popis: Gold nanorods have been studied extensively in the field of tumor therapy but have not been explored in the treatment of venous malformation (VM), which is a common vascular disease in clinic practice lacking an effective therapeutic approach. Herein we reported a nanoplatform of CD31 antibody-conjugated gold nanorods for the photothermal therapy of venous malformation. We immobilized CD31 antibodies on gold nanorods using standard 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium (NHS) amine coupling strategies. Besides, a VM xenograft model suitable for testing therapeutic efficacy was established by isolating and culturing VM patient endothelial cells. In vitro experiments indicated that anti-CD31 gold nanorods (GNRs) combined with photothermal therapy (PTT) contributed to the suppression of proliferation and activation of the apoptosis pathway. For in vivo experiments, anti-CD31 GNRs were locally injected into VM xenograft models followed by near infrared (NIR) 808 ​nm laser irradiation. Notably, VM on the mice was destroyed and absorbed. The anti-CD31 GNRs nanoplatform may serve as a new strategy for the treatment of VM which is of good biosafety and high value of applications.
