Personalized oncology significantly relies on the development of theranostic agents to integrate cancer therapeutics and diagnostics. Current strategy for development of such multifunctional agents requires multistep chemical conjugation with cancer specific ligands, contrast agents and therapeutic drugs. In this study, we reported a near infrared (NIR) heptamethine indocyanine dye, IR-780, which selectively accumulated in the mitochondria of drug-resistant human lung cancer cells (A549/DR) and significantly inhibited cell growth, self-renewal and migration without the need of any chemical conjugation. IR-780 was also able to induce A549/DR cell apoptosis by disrupting the mitochondrial function. Furthermore, IR-780 dye exhibited remarkable tumoricidal activity and inhibited tumor recurrence in mouse syngeneic Lewis lung carcinoma xenograft model. With the unique properties of targeting, near infrared imaging and inhibitive effect to the drug-resistant cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo, IR-780 may represent a potential theranostic agent for tumor recurrence.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
