Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a novel therapeutic modality for cancer treatment, but its therapeutic efficacy is severely limited by the hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME). Here we designed an innovative multifunctional nano-platform which consists of a hollow MnO 2  shell and internal photosensitizer IR780. It is not only used for multimodal imaging of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but also for adjustment hypoxic TME to enhance cancer treatment. Hollow MnO 2  can promote decomposition of tumor endogenous H 2 O 2  to relieve tumor hypoxia, thereby enhancing the effect of photodynamic therapy. Photosensitizer IR780 generates singlet oxygen under laser irradiation to kill tumor cells, playing photodynamic effect, can also act as the contrast agents for photoacoustic and fluorescence multiple imaging, providing potential imaging capability for cancer therapeutic guidance and monitoring. Our research results in this article show that HMnO 2 -IR780 nanocomposite exhibits good biocompatibility and nontoxicity, strong PA/FL imaging contrast, excellent oxygen production capacity and outstanding photodynamic therapy effect. This finding provides a new idea for multimodal imaging-guided nanotherapy for OSCC.
