Gold-layered calcium phosphate plasmonic resonants for localized photothermal treatment of human epithelial cancer

Abstract

We fabricated de novo biocompatible mineral plasmon resonants for localized and systemic treatment of cancer. Biodegradable calcium-phosphate gold nanocomposites were synthesized for inducing a superior surface plasmon resonance effect. The combination of therapeutic antibody, Erbitux® and NIR laser with nanocomposites demonstrated the potential for selective bimodal cancer treatment by combination of EGFR-induced signaling inhibition as a systemic treatment and localized photothermal effects caused by the NIR laser.
