However, PDT willaggravate the hypoxic environment in tumor cells, and PTTwill lead to heat-resistant reaction, both of which will make theorganism quickly produce heat shock proteins (HSPs) toprotect itself, thus seriously hindering the therapeuticefficiency of phototherapy. As a natural HSPs inhibitor,quercetin (QR) provides a feasible way to solve this problem.Herein, a kind of metal organic framework (MOF), Fe-TCPP(FT), was used as a delivery material and photosensitizer tobuild a chemo-phototherapy platform, and QR was used as achemotherapy drug and HSPs inhibitor. On this basis, the nanoparticles (NPs) were modified with PEG-CPP30 (a cellpenetratingpeptide that specifically recognizes human breast cancer MCF-7 cells), which showed excellent targetingcapacity and biocompatibility. The combination of chemotherapy and phototherapy significantly improved the anti-cancereffect. At the same time, NPs also showed prominent anti-HSPs effect. The effective connection of the two played acomplementary role in the process of tumor treatment, which provided a new strategy for the accurate and efficienttreatment of tumors in the future.展开更多
