Abstract
Cancer is a major threat to human health because of its high mortality, easy recurrence, strong invasion, and metastasis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising minimally invasive treatment for tumor. Compared with traditional treatment methods, PDT is less invasive and does not easily damage normal tissues. Most of the effects of this treatment are due to the direct effects of singlet oxygen together with reactive oxygen species. PDT can provide the source of active oxygen for the Fenton reaction, which enhances ferroptosis and also improves the efficacy of PDT in antitumor therapy. Additionally, in contrast to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, PDT has the effect of stimulating the immune response, which can effectively induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) and stimulate immunity. PDT is an ideal minimally invasive treatment method for tumors. In this paper, according to the characteristics of anti-tumor immunity of PDT, some tumor treatment strategies of PDT combined with anti-tumor immunotherapy are reviewed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive approach for tumor elimination that is attracting more and more attention due to the advantages of minimal side effects and high precision. In typical PDT, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from photosensitizers play the pivotal role, determining the efficiency of PDT. However, applications of traditional PDT were usually limited by the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of the photosensitizers employed. Fortunately, photosensitizers with aggregation-induced emission (AIE-active photosensitizers) have been developed with biocompatibility, effective ROS generation, and superior absorption, bringing about great interest for applications in oncotherapy. In this review, we review the development of AIE-active photosensitizers and describe molecule and aggregation strategies for manipulating photosensitization. For the molecule strategy, we describe the approaches utilized for tuning ROS generation by attaching heavy atoms, constructing a donor-acceptor effect, introducing ionization, and modifying with activatable moieties. The aggregation strategy to boost ROS generation is reviewed for the first time, including consideration of the aggregation of photosensitizers, polymerization, and aggregation microenvironment manipulation. Moreover, based on AIE-active photosensitizers, the cutting-edge applications of PDT with NIR irradiated therapy, activatable therapy, hypoxic therapy, and synergistic treatment are also outlined.

Multifunctional Nanoplatforms as a Novel Effective Approach in Photodynamic Therapy and Chemotherapy, to Overcome Multidrug Resistance in Cancer. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14051075. [PMID: 35631660 PMCID: PMC9143284 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14051075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
It is more than sixty years since the era of modern photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer began. Enhanced selectivity for malignant cells with a reduced selectivity for non-malignant cells and good biocompatibility along with the limited occurrence of side effects are considered to be the most significant advantages of PDT in comparison with conventional therapeutic approaches, e.g., chemotherapy. The phenomenon of multidrug resistance, which is associated with drug efflux transporters, was originally identified in relation to the application of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, over the last thirty years, numerous papers have shown that many photosensitizers are the substrates of efflux transporters, significantly restricting the effectiveness of PDT. The concept of a dynamic nanoplatform offers a possible solution to minimize the multidrug resistance effect in cells affected by PDT. Indeed, recent findings have shown that the utilization of nanoparticles could significantly enhance the therapeutic efficacy of PDT. Additionally, multifunctional nanoplatforms could induce the synergistic effect of combined treatment regimens, such as PDT with chemotherapy. Moreover, the surface modifications that are associated with nanoparticle functionalization significantly improve the target potential of PDT or chemo-PDT in multidrug resistant and cancer stem cells.

Abstract
Chlorin e6-C-15-ethyl ester (LS-HB), a newly identified photosensitizer, was isolated from chlorin e6. The mechanism of tumor cell death induced by photodynamic therapy with LS-HB (LS-HB-PDT) is still unknown. Here, we investigated the photophysical properties of LS-HB, evaluated the antitumor effect on melanoma in vitro and in vivo, and explored its possible mechanisms. LS-HB not only has an optimal spectral band of red wavelength (660 nm) for photosensitization but also has favorable photostability. More importantly, LS-HB-PDT elicited a potent dose-dependent phototoxic effect in vitro. We discovered that LS-HB located in the mitochondria of B16F10 cells was able to generate excess reactive oxygen species, which subsequently resulted in mitochondrial membrane potential loss and induced apoptosis via caspase-9 and caspase-3 pathways. Moreover, PDT with LS-HB markedly inhibited the growth of melanoma in vivo. Therefore, LS-HB is expected to be an effective potential photosensitizer in antitumor therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapeutic intervention that can be applied to the treatment of cancer. The interaction between a photosensitizer (PS), ideal wavelength radiation and tissue molecular oxygen, triggers a series of photochemical reactions that are responsible for the production of reactive oxygen species. These highly reactive species can decrease proliferation and induce tumor cell death. The search for PS of natural origin extracted from plants becomes relevant, as they have photoactivation capacity, preferentially targeting tumor cells and because they do not present any or little toxicity to healthy cells. OBJECTIVE Our work aimed to carry out a qualitative systematic review to investigate the effects of curcumin (CUR), a molecule considered as PS of natural origin, on PDT, using red light or near infrared radiation, in tumor models. METHODS A systematic search was performed in three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) using the PICOT method, retrieving a total of 1,373 occurrences. At the end of the peer screening, using inclusion, exclusion, and eligibility criteria, 25 eligible articles were included in this systematic review. RESULTS CUR, whether in its free state, associated with metal complexes or other PS, and in a nanocarrier system, was considered a relevant PS for PDT using red light or near-infrared against tumoral models in vitro and in vivo, acting by increasing cytotoxicity, inhibiting proliferation, inducing cell death mainly by apoptosis, and changing oxidative parameters. CONCLUSION The results found in this systematic review suggest the potential use of CUR as a PS of natural origin to be applied in PDT against many neoplasms, encouraging further search in the field of PDT against cancer and serving as an investigative basis for upcoming pre-clinical and clinical applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) offers several advantages for treating cancers, but its efficacy is highly dependent on light delivery to activate a photosensitizer. Advances in wireless technologies enable remote delivery of light to tumors, but suffer from key limitations, including low levels of tissue penetration and photosensitizer activation. Here, we introduce DeepLabCut (DLC)-informed low-power wireless telemetry with an integrated thermal/light simulation platform that overcomes the above constraints. The simulator produces an optimized combination of wavelengths and light sources, and DLC-assisted wireless telemetry uses the parameters from the simulator to enable adequate illumination of tumors through high-throughput (<20 mice) and multi-wavelength operation. Together, they establish a range of guidelines for effective PDT regimen design. In vivo Hypericin and Foscan mediated PDT, using cancer xenograft models, demonstrates substantial suppression of tumor growth, warranting further investigation in research and/or clinical settings.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) is a nontoxic registered photosensitizer used as a diagnostic tool and for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Hypoxia is one the main factors affecting PDT efficacy. Perfluorodecalin emulsion (Perftoran®) is a known oxygen carrier. This study investigated the effect of Perftoran® on ICG/PDT efficacy in presence and absence of Perftoran®via evaluation of phototoxicity by MTT; hypoxia estimation by pimonidazole, HIF-1α/β by ELISA, and 17 miRNAs (tumor suppressors, oncomiRs, and hypoxamiRs) were analyzed by qPCR. Compared to ICG/PDT, Perftoran®/ICG/PDT led to higher photocytotoxicity, inhibited pimonidazole hypoxia adducts, inhibited HIF-1α/β concentrations, induced the expression of tumor-suppressing miRNAs let-7b/d/f/g, and strongly inhibited the pro-hypoxia miRNA let-7i. Additionally, Perftoran®/ICG/PDT suppressed the expression of the oncomiRs miR-155, miR-30c, and miR-181a and the hypoxamiRs miR-210 and miR-21 compared to ICG/PDT. In conclusion, Perftoran® induced the phototoxicity of ICG/PDT and inhibited ICG/PDT-hypoxia via suppressing HIF-α/β, miR-210, miR-21, let-7i, miR-15a, miR-30c, and miR-181a and by inducing the expression of let-7d/f and miR-15b.

Abstract
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a newly developed and promising therapy that specifically destroys target cells by irradiating antibody-photo-absorber conjugates (APCs) with NIR light. APCs bind to target molecules on the cell surface, and when exposed to NIR light, cause disruption of the cell membrane due to the ligand release reaction and dye aggregation. This leads to rapid cell swelling, blebbing, and rupture, which leads to immunogenic cell death (ICD). ICD activates host antitumor immunity, which assists in killing still viable cancer cells in the treated lesion but is also capable of producing responses in untreated lesions. In September 2020, an APC and laser system were conditionally approved for clinical use in unresectable advanced head and neck cancer in Japan, and are now routine in appropriate patients. However, most tumors have been relatively accessible in the oral cavity or neck. Endoscopes offer the opportunity to deliver light deeper within hollow organs of the body. In recent years, the application of endoscopic therapy as an alternative to surgery for the treatment of cancer has expanded, providing significant benefits to inoperable patients. In this review, we will discuss the potential applications of endoscopic NIR-PIT, especially in thoracic and gastrointestinal cancers.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a hallmark of the tumor microenvironment (TME) that promotes tumor development and metastasis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising strategy in the treatment of tumors, but it is limited by the lack of oxygen in TME. In this work, an O2 self-supply PDT system is constructed by co-encapsulation of chlorin e6 (Ce6) and a MnO2 core in an engineered ferritin (Ftn), generating a nanozyme promoted PDT nanoformula (Ce6/Ftn@MnO2 ) for tumor therapy. Ce6/Ftn@MnO2 exhibits a uniform small size (15.5 nm) and high stability due to the inherent structure of Ftn. The fluorescence imaging and immunofluorescence analysis demonstrate the pronounced accumulation of Ce6/Ftn@MnO2 in the tumors of mice, and the treatment significantly decreases the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α. The Ce6/Ftn@MnO2 nanoplatform exerts a more potent anti-tumor efficacy with negligible damage to normal tissues compared to the treatment with free Ce6. Moreover, the weak acidity and the presence of H2 O2 in TME significantly enhances the r1 relativity of Ce6/Ftn@MnO2 , resulting in a prominent enhancement of MRI imaging in the tumor. This bio-mimic Ftn strategy not only improves the in vivo distribution and retention of Ce6, but also enhances the effectiveness and precision of PDT by TME modulation.

Acta Trop 2022; 228:106341. [PMID: 35131203 DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2022.106341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Sporotrichosis is a worldwide zoonosis, prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in human and feline cases reported in Brazil. Despite this, the antifungal treatment for sporotrichosis is still limited, and thus, research into new therapeutic modalities must be encouraged. Recently, photodynamic therapy has been introduced as a treatment for sporotrichosis. This work presents an overview of both in vitro and in vivo studies that have used photodynamic therapy in the context of photoinactivation of Sporothrix species. Until now, as far as the authors are aware, this is the first scope review specifically on photodynamic therapy for the treatment of sporotrichosis. A systematic electronic search was conducted in two databases: Web of Science and PubMed. Seven original articles published from 2010 to July 2021 were selected, six of which met the proposed inclusion and exclusion criteria and were considered in this scoping review. Concerning the photoinactivation of Sporothrix spp. the results have been promising as studies, in both animals and humans, have reported significant clinical and mycological effects. The most used photosensitizers were methylene blue and its derivatives, and aminolevulinic acid and its methyl derivative, methyl aminolevulinic acid. In conclusion, photodynamic therapy has great potential in treatment of sporotrichosis, as its fungicidal effect both in vitro and in vivo has clearly been demonstrated. Photodynamic therapy could be used in conjunction with classic antifungal agents to optimize treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitch is a new and promising family of photochromic molecules and has shown superior performance as a smart trigger in stimulus-responsive materials. During the past few decades, the DAE family has achieved a leap from simple molecules to functional molecules and developed toward validity as a universal switching building block. In recent years, the introduction of DAE into an assembly system has been an attractive strategy that enables the photochromic behavior of the building blocks to be manifested at the level of the entire system, beyond the DAE unit itself. This assembly-based strategy will bring many unexpected results that promote the design and manufacture of a new generation of advanced materials. Here, recent advances in the design and fabrication of diarylethene as a trigger in materials science, chemistry, and biomedicine are reviewed.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy can be useful for eradication of malignant cells at sites that are accessible to light delivery. There are few adverse effects, with many clinical reports indicating that PDT has curative potential. Patients with minimal disease, where success is more likely, are also sought by those promoting other protocols. New photosensitizing agents that initiate light-catalyzed reactions continue to be discovered. Reports describing advances in understanding fundamental aspects of photobiology are always of interest. But implications for treatment of neoplasia and other diseases are not always justified, especially when poorly-penetrating wavelengths of light are employed, often at very high light doses. Efficacy is sometimes estimated by protocols that may not accurately measure photokilling. Many reports claiming potential clinical relevance for in vitro observations are based on a limited understanding of the determinants of clinical efficacy. The future of photodynamic therapy depends on an appreciation of what can be accomplished, especially when used with other modalities, but will also depend on the goals and interests of granting agencies, pharmaceutical groups and clinical personnel. This commentary is intended to provide some thoughts on current research efforts, especially where clinical implications are suggested, hinted at or otherwise implied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Even if lung cancer is detected at an early stage, surgery may be difficult in patients with severe comorbidities, like interstitial pneumonia (IP). Radiation therapy cannot be performed due to the high risk of acute IP exacerbation. Therefore, an effective alternative, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), is required. To prove that acute exacerbation is not induced after PDT in peripheral lung cancer, we investigated the effects of PDT on IP rat models. METHODS Bleomycin (BLM) was administered intratracheally. Seven days after administration, left thoracotomy was performed. Talaporfin sodium was injected, and diode laser irradiation (664 nm, 150mW, 100J/cm2) was performed. Seven days after PDT, the whole blood and left lungs were collected. A total of 23 rats, comprising BLM + PDT (n = 4), BLM + non-PDT (n = 10), non-BLM + PDT (n = 2), non-BLM + non-PDT (n = 5), and two rats that died immediately after PDT were observed. Serum levels of Krebs von den Lungen-6, surfactant protein-D, lactate dehydrogenase, and serum C-reactive protein were measured. Fibrosis and macrophage scorings, and the collagen fibers percentage were examined by staining with hematoxylin and eosin, Elastica van Gieson, anti-α smooth muscle antibody, and anti-CD68 antibodies. RESULTS There was no remarkable difference in the values of each marker in fibrosis and macrophage scores with or without PDT. In case of death, fibrosis was mild, and PDT was not affected. CONCLUSIONS In IP rat models, PDT did not induce lung fibrosis or acute exacerbation.

Abstract
It has been proved that the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is closely related to the intrinsic features of the photosensitizer (PS). Over the recent years, several efforts have been devoted to the discovery of novel and more efficient photosensitizers showing higher efficacy and lower side effects. In this context, squaraine and cyanine dyes have been reported to potentially overcome the drawbacks related to the traditional PSs. In fact, squaraines and cyanines are characterized by sharp and intense absorption bands and narrow emission bands with high extinction coefficients typically in the red and near-infrared region, good photo and thermal stability and a strong fluorescent emission in organic solvents. In addition, biocompatibility and low toxicity make them suitable for biological applications. Despite these interesting intrinsic features, their chemical instability and self-aggregation properties in biological media still limit their use in PDT. To overcome these drawbacks, the self-assembly and incorporation into smart nanoparticle systems are forwarded promising approaches that can control their physicochemical properties, providing rational solutions for the limitation of free dye administration in the PDT application. The present review summarizes the latest advances in squaraine and cyanine dyes for PDT application, analyzing the different strategies, i.e.the self-assembly and the incorporation into nanoparticles, to further enhance their photochemical properties and therapeutic potential. The in vivo assessments are still limited, thus further delaying their effective application in PDT.

Abstract
AbstractTargeted photodynamic therapy (TPDT) is considered superior to conventional photodynamic therapy due to the enhanced uptake of photosensitizers by tumor cells. In this paper, an amphiphilic and asymmetric cyclo-Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Tyr-Lys(cRGDyK)-conjugated silicon phthalocyanine (RSP) was synthesized by covalently attaching the tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) to silicone phthalocyanine in the axial direction for TPDT of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). RSP was characterized by spectroscopy as a monomer in physiological buffer. Meanwhile, the modification of RSP with RGD led to a high accumulation of the photosensitizer in TNBC cells overexpressing ανβ3 integrin receptors which can bind RGD, greatly reducing the risk of phototoxicity. In vitro photodynamic experiments showed that the IC50 of RSP was 295.96 nM in the 4T1 cell line, which caused significant apoptosis of the tumor cells. The tumor inhibition rate of RSP on the orthotopic murine TNBC achieved 74%, while the untargeted photosensitizer exhibited no obvious tumor inhibition. Overall, such novel targeted silicon phthalocyanine has good potential for clinical translation due to its simple synthesis route, strong targeting, and high therapeutic efficacy for TPDT treatment of TNBC.

Development of Novel Tetrapyrrole Structure Photosensitizers for Cancer Photodynamic Therapy. Bioengineering (Basel) 2022; 9:bioengineering9020082.

Abstract
The effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on the triad effects of photosensitizer (PS), molecular oxygen and visible light on malignant tumors. Such complex induces a multifactorial manner including reactive-oxygen-species-mediated damage and the killing of cells, vasculature damage of the tumor, and activation of the organism immunity. The effectiveness of PDT depends on the properties of photosensitizing drugs, their selectivity, enhanced photoproduction of reactive particles, absorption in the near infrared spectrum, and drug delivery strategies. Photosensitizers of the tetrapyrrole structure (porphyrins) are widely used in PDT because of their unique diagnostic and therapeutic functions. Nevertheless, the clinical use of the first-generation PS (sodium porfimer and hematoporphyrins) revealed difficulties, such as long-term skin photosensitivity, insufficient penetration into deep-seated tumors and incorrect localization to it. The second generation is based on different approaches of the synthesis and conjugation of porphyrin PS with biomolecules, which made it possible to approach the targeted PDT of tumors. Despite the fact that the development of the second-generation PS started about 30 years ago, these technologies are still in demand and are in intensive development, especially in the direction of improving the process of optimization split linkers responsive to input. Bioconjugation and encapsulation by targeting molecules are among the main strategies for developing of the PS synthesis. A targeted drug delivery system with the effect of increased permeability and retention by tumor cells is one of the ultimate goals of the synthesis of second-generation PS. This review presents porphyrin PS of various generations, discusses factors affecting cellular biodistribution and uptake, and indicates their role as diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) agents. New complexes based on porphyrin PS for photoimmunotherapy are presented, where specific antibodies are used that are chemically bound to PS, absorbing light from the near infrared part of the spectrum. Additionally, a two-photon photodynamic approach using third-generation photosensitizers for the treatment of tumors is discussed, which indicates the prospects for the further development of a promising method antitumor PDT.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a method in which a photosensitizer is administered in vivo and irradiated with light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby causing the selective death of cancer cells. Since PDT is a noninvasive cancer treatment method with few adverse effects, it has attracted considerable attention and is increasingly used. In PDT, there are two dominant processes based on the actin filament (A-filament) formation effect: the destruction of cells by necrosis and vascular shutdown. Despite the importance of its fine control, the mechanism of the reaction process from the generation of reactive oxygen by photoinduction inducing the formation of A-filament and its polymerization to form stress fibers (S-fibers) has not yet been clarified because, for example, it has been difficult to directly observe and quantify such processes in living cells by conventional methods. Here, we have combined atomic force microscopy (AFM) with other techniques to reveal the mechanism of the A-filament and S-fiber formation processes that underlie the cell death process due to PDT. First, it was confirmed that activation of the small G protein RhoA, which is a signal that induces an increase in A-filament production, begins immediately after PDT treatment. The production of A-filament did not increase with increasing light intensity when the amount of light was large. Namely, the activation of RhoA reached an equilibrium state in about 1 min: however, the production of A-filament and its polymerization continued. The observed process corresponds well with the change in the amount of phosphorylated myosin-light chains, which induce A-filament polymerization. The increase in the elastic modulus of cells following the formation of S-fiber was confirmed by AFM for the first time. The distribution of generated A-filament and S-fiber was consistent with the photosensitizer distribution. PDT increases A-filament production, and when the ROS concentration is high, blebbing occurs and cells die, but when it is low, cell death does not occur and S-fiber is formed. That is, it is expected that vascular shutdown can be controlled efficiently by adjusting the amount of photosensitizer and the light intensity. We have combined atomic force microscopy with other techniques to reveal the mechanism of the actin filament and stress fibers formation processes that underlies the cell death process due to photodynamic therapy.![]()

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapeutic modality based on the interaction between a photosensitive molecule called photosensitizer (PS) and visible light irradiation in the presence of oxygen molecule. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), an efficient and widely used PS, is hampered in clinical PDT by its poor water-solubility and tendency to self-aggregate. These features are strongly related to the PS hydrophilic–lipophilic balance. In order to improve the chemical properties of PpIX, a series of amphiphilic PpIX derivatives endowed with PEG550 headgroups and hydrogenated or fluorinated tails was synthetized. Hydrophilic–lipophilic balance (HLB) and log p-values were computed for all of the prepared compounds. Their photochemical properties (spectroscopic characterization, photobleaching, and singlet oxygen quantum yield) were also evaluated followed by the in vitro studies of their cellular uptake, subcellular localization, and photocytotoxicity on three tumor cell lines (4T1, scc-U8, and WiDr cell lines). The results confirm the therapeutic potency of these new PpIX derivatives. Indeed, while all of the derivatives were perfectly water soluble, some of them exhibited an improved photodynamic effect compared to the parent PpIX.

Abstract
Today, photodynamic therapy is one of the most promising minimally invasive methods of treatment of various diseases, including cancer. The main limitation of this method is the insufficient penetration into the tissue of laser radiation used to activate photosensitizer molecules, which makes it difficult to carry out therapy in the treatment of large or deep-seated tumors. In this regard, there is a great interest in the development of new strategies for photodynamic therapy using infrared radiation for excitation, the wavelengths of which fall into the “transparency window” of biological tissues. In this work, it was proposed to use upconversion NaGdF4 :Yb:Er nanoparticles (UCNP), which absorb infrared excitation and serve as a donor that transfers energy to the photosensitizer. Photosens and phthalosens were chosen as the most promising photosensitizers for the study. The aim of this work was to study the energy transfer processes between upconversion nanoparticles doped with rare-earth ions and photosensitizer molecules. in order to excite photosensitizers with IR radiation and carry out photodynamic therapy of deep-seated neoplasms. Using spectroscopic and time-resolved methods, it has been demonstrated that there is an efficient energy transfer between upconversion particles and photosensitizers phthalosens and photosens. The calculated efficiency of energy transfer by the Foerster mechanism was 41% for the UCNP + photosens system and 69% for the UCNP + phthalosens system. It has been experimentally and theoretically proved that there is a binding of photosensitizer molecules with UCNP by means of surfactants, leading to a reduction in the distance between them, due to which effective nonradiative energy transfer is realized. The generation of singlet oxygen by the phthalosens photosensitizer upon excitation by means of energy transfer from UCNP, excited at 980 nm wavelength of, has been demonstrated.

Abstract
The antioxidant/pro-oxidant activity of drugs and dietary molecules and their role in the maintenance of redox homeostasis, as well as the implications in health and different diseases, have not yet been fully evaluated. In particular, the redox activity and other interactions of drugs with essential redox metal ions, such as iron and copper, need further investigation. These metal ions are ubiquitous in human nutrition but also widely found in dietary supplements and appear to exert major effects on redox homeostasis in health, but also on many diseases of free radical pathology. In this context, the redox mechanistic insights of mainly three prototype groups of drugs, namely alpha-ketohydroxypyridines (alpha-hydroxypyridones), e.g., deferiprone, anthraquinones, e.g., doxorubicin and thiosemicarbazones, e.g., triapine and their metal complexes were examined; details of the mechanisms of their redox activity were reviewed, with emphasis on the biological implications and potential clinical applications, including anticancer activity. Furthermore, the redox properties of these three classes of chelators were compared to those of the iron chelating drugs and also to vitamin C, with an emphasis on their potential clinical interactions and future clinical application prospects in cancer, neurodegenerative and other diseases.

Abstract
Combination treatments are more effective than conventional monotherapy in combating cancer. Herein, a multifunctional prodrug BDP-L-CPT was rationally engineered and prepared by the conjugation of a boron dipyrromethene (BDP)-based photosensitizer (PS) to the active site of the chemotherapeutic drug camptothecin (CPT) via a phenyl benzoate group. After modification, the cytotoxicity of CPT was locked. Moreover, the fluorescence emission at 430 nm from the CPT component in the prodrug was substantially inhibited through the intramolecular fluorescence resonance energy transfer process. The phenyl benzoate linker in BDP-L-CPT could be selectively cleaved by exogenous carboxylesterase in phosphate-buffered saline solution and endogenous carboxylesterase overexpressed in cancer cells, which was followed by self-immolation to release free CPT. The drug release process could be monitored by the turn-on of CPT fluorescence in solution and cells. Owing to the combination of site-specific chemotherapy with light-driven photodynamic therapy, the IC50 values of the prodrug BDP-L-CPT against HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma and HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells were lower than those of the controls, BDP-COOH and CPT. The combined antitumor effects of the prodrug BDP-L-CPT were also observed in the mice bearing H22 tumors. Furthermore, BDP-L-CPT had a more prolonged blood circulation time in mice than CPT, which is beneficial to persistent therapy. This study may provide a promising strategy for a selective combination cancer treatment by conjugating a prodrug to a PS.

Abstract
A targeted multimodal strategy on a single nanoplatform is attractive in the field of nanotheranostics for the complete ablation of cancer. Herein, we have designed mesoporous silica (m-SiO2)-coated Prussian blue nanocubes (PBNCs), functionalized with hyaluronic acid (HA) to construct a multifunctional PBNC@m-SiO2@HA nanoplatform that exhibited good biocompatibility, excellent photodynamic activity, and in vitro T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging ability (r1 ∼ 3.91 mM−1 s−1). After loading doxorubicin into the as-prepared PBNC@m-SiO2@HA, the developed PBNC@m-SiO2@HA@DOX displayed excellent pH-responsive drug release characteristics. Upon irradiation with 808 nm (1.0 W cm−2) laser light, PBNC@m-SiO2@HA@DOX exhibited synergistic photodynamic and chemotherapeutic efficacy (∼78% in 20 minutes) for human colorectal carcinoma (HCT 116) cell line compared to solo photodynamic or chemotherapy. Herein, the chemo-photodynamic therapeutic process was found to follow the apoptotic pathway via ROS-mediated mitochondrion-dependent DNA damage with a very low cellular uptake of PBNC@m-SiO2@HA@DOX for the human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cell line, illustrating its safety. Hence, it may be stated that the developed nanoplatform can be a potential theranostic agent for future applications. Most interestingly, we have noted variation in r1 at each step of the functionalization along with size variation that has been the first time modelled on the basis of the Solomon–Bloembergen–Morgan theory considering changes in the defect crystal structure, correlation time, water diffusion rate, etc., due to varied interactions between PBNC and water molecules. A targeted multimodal strategy on a single nanoplatform is attractive in the field of nanotheranostics for the complete ablation of cancer.![]()

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is currently enjoying considerable attention as the subject of experimental research to treat resistant cancers. The preferential accumulation of a non-toxic photosensitizer (PS) in different cellular organelles that causes oxidative damage by combining light and molecular oxygen leads to selective cell killing. However, one major setback, common among other treatment approaches, is tumor relapse and the development of resistance causing treatment failure. PDT-mediated resistance could result from increased drug efflux and decreased localization of PS, reduced light exposure, increased DNA damage repair, and altered expression of survival genes. This review highlights the essential insights of PDT reports in which PDT resistance was observed and which identified some of the molecular effectors that facilitate the development of PDT resistance. We also discuss different perceptions of PDT and how its current limitations can be overturned to design improved cancer resistant treatments.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become a promising candidate for cancer theranostics; however, traditional photosensitizers (PSs) usually exhibit weak fluorescence and poor reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency when aggregated. Recently, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens have shown great potential in the development of novel PSs owing to their excellent aggregation-induced ROS generation (AIG-ROS) activity. However, there are still concerns that must be addressed. In this study, two near-infrared (NIR) emitters (PI and PTI) are synthesized with AIG-ROS characteristic. PTI exhibit a valuable redder emission with more effective intersystem crossing (ISC) process than PI. The two AIE-active PSs show excellent lipid droplet (LD)-specific targeting ability. The detailed therapeutic mechanism of PDT in LDs specificity is also investigated. The mechanism of oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in LDs to form toxic lipid peroxides (LPOs) and thereby causing cellular ferroptosis is confirmed first. Homologous targeting is also used to achieve tumor targeting via coating PSs with active cancer cell membranes. Biomimetic aggregates exhibit good targeting ability, and an improved PDT antitumor effect via AIG-ROS activity. These findings offer a clear route to develop advanced PSs with good targeting specificity. A template has also been provided for studying the therapeutic mechanism of AIE-active PSs.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anticancer noninvasive method and has great potential for clinical applications. Unfortunately, PDT still has many limitations, such as metastatic tumor at unknown sites, inadequate light delivery and a lack of sufficient oxygen. Recent studies have demonstrated that photodynamic therapy in combination with other therapies can enhance anticancer effects. The development of new nanomaterials provides a platform for the codelivery of two or more therapeutic drugs, which is a promising cancer treatment method. The use of multifunctional nanocarriers for the codelivery of two or more drugs can improve physical and chemical properties, increase tumor site aggregation, and enhance the antitumor effect through synergistic actions, which is worthy of further study. This review focuses on the latest research progress on the synergistic enhancement of PDT by simultaneous multidrug administration using codelivery nanocarriers. We introduce the design of codelivery nanocarriers and discuss the mechanism of PDT combined with other antitumor methods. The combination of PDT and chemotherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, photothermal therapy, hyperthermia, radiotherapy, sonodynamic therapy and even multidrug therapy are discussed to provide a comprehensive understanding.

Phototoxicity of two positive-charged diaryl porphyrins in multicellular tumor spheroids. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY B-BIOLOGY 2021; 225:112353.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved cancer treatment in which reactive oxygen species are formed only when three harmless components, a photosensitizer (PS), light and molecular oxygen, are present at the same time, leading to cell death. Most of the PSs were tested on monolayer cells, but differences between 2D cells and solid tumors significantly limit the value of in vitro PDT studies, whereas the use of 3D spheroid might be more suitable for drug development and preclinical drug testing for PDT. In a previous work we have shown that two positive-charged diaryl porphyrins (2 and 4) were more potent than the corresponding neutral molecules (1 and 3) on a panel of 2D-cultured cancer cell lines. In the present study the photodynamic effects of these molecules have been evaluated on HCT116 and MCF7 spheroids. Induction of apoptotic and necrotic cell death, and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been also evaluated, along with accumulation and localization of PSs into spheroids. Our findings indicate that 2 and 4 retained their phototoxic effects also in 3D spheroids; furthermore, they were more potent than 1 and 3 and as potent as Foscan (m-THPC), the most successful PS approved for clinical PDT of cancer, used as reference. Although further aspects of their mechanisms of action need to be addressed, our results strongly suggest a potential in vivo photodynamic application of 2 and 4, considering that spheroids represent a more realistic indicator of in vivo therapeutic efficacy than 2D cell lines.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main aim of this article is a retrospective analysis of PDT effectiveness treatment in early-stage cervical cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS 28 patients were analyzed retrospectively with PDT treatment of early-stage cervical cancer. A multi-course PDT approach should have been performed for each patient. Patients underwent one PDT session or multi-course PDT approach. It depended on individual reaction and response to therapy after the first session. A multi-course approach was performed in the next two months. Treatment was performed from 2015 to 2020. Relapse-free probability was assessed for these patients by Kaplan Meier estimator in 60 months. RESULTS HPV elimination was in 82% of cases in three-month period after PDT (R2 = 0.71). Among the analyzed cases, full HPV elimination was detected more than in 90% of cases. Relapse-free probability is 0,8 (CI95%: 0,53-1) in 60 months. Patients had mild (35.7%) and severe (28.6%) leucocyte reactions after PDT in three months. CONCLUSION The article demonstrates new treatment results of CC and detected a five-year period relapse-free probability after PDT. Only correct protocol using PDT for invasive cervical cancer provides high effectiveness and relapse-free survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During photodynamic therapy (PDT) oxygen is transformed into reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce cellular apoptosis in (pre)malignant cells. Real time oxygen availability measurement is clinically available with the Cellular Oxygen Metabolism (COMET) monitor. METHODS Primary objective is to show that mitochondrial oxygen availability (mitoPO2) measurement is possible during clinical ALA-PDT. The secondary aim was to determine the pain sensation, because it is the most commonly reported side effect of PDT. Before and after the two fraction PDT treatment, with a 2-hour dark period, mitoPO2 was measured and reported pain was documented with a visual analog scale (VAS) 0-100. RESULTS Nine patients were included. Before the first PDT session the median signal quality was [IQR] 55.0% [34.2-68.0], which decreased after session one to 0% [0.0-10.0]. MitoPO2 was 40.0 [17.7-53.8] mmHg and increased afterwards to 61.8 [38.2-64.8] mmHg. This likely the result of the delay time between the illumination stop and the mitoPO2 measurements in a vasodilated, visibly red lesion. Before session two signal quality was 10.4% [0-20.15], 40% lower than at the start. In 5 patients the signal quality after session 2 was too low because of photobleaching and insufficient regeneration of PpIX, median 0% [0-10]. Subjects reported low median VAS scores, all below 3, directly after the mitoPO2 measurements. CONCLUSION With COMET we were able to reliably measure mitochondrial oxygen concentrations during photodynamic therapy. Signal quality drastically decreases after a PDT session because of PpIX deterioration during the illumination phase.

Abstract
Photodynamic and ferroptosis therapies for cancer treatment are restricted by the scarcity of oxygen and Fe in cancer cells, and the complicated structure of delivery systems. Herein, a red blood cell-derived vehicle (RDV) inherently enriched with hemoglobin co-delivers a photosensitizer, Ce6, and a ferroptosis promoter, sorafenib (SRF) into cancer cells for boosting oxygen and providing iron, which leads to enhanced PDT and stronger ferroptosis therapy. Damage to the RDV membrane under local irradation leads to SRF release at the tumor site for tumor-targeted therapy. The lipid membrane of the RDV could also improve the drug delivery efficiency in vitro and in vivo. The novel nanosystem exhibited enhanced tumor killing efficacy and improved safety compared with traditional PDT and ferroptosis therapy.

Abstract
Biofilms cause problems in the food industry due to their persistence and incompetent hygiene processing technologies. Interest in photodynamic inactivation (PDI) for combating biofilms has increased in recent years. This technique can induce microbial cell death, reduce cell attachment, ruin biofilm biomolecules and eradicate structured biofilms without inducing microbial resistance. This review addresses microbial challenges posed by biofilms in food environments and highlights the advantages of PDI in preventing and eradicating microbial biofilm communities. Current findings of the antibiofilm efficiencies of this technique are summarized. Additionally, emphasis is given to its potential mechanisms and factors capable of influencing biofilm communities, as well as promising hurdle strategies.

Abstract
Bone cancer including primary bone cancer and metastatic bone cancer, remains a challenge claiming millions of lives and affecting the life quality of survivors. Conventional treatments of bone cancer include wide surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, some bone cancer cells may remain or recur in the local area after resection, some are highly resistant to chemotherapy, and some are insensitive to radiotherapy. Phototherapy (PT) including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is a clinically approved, minimally invasive, and highly selective treatment, and has been widely reported for cancer therapy. Under the irradiation of light of a specific wavelength, the photosensitizer (PS) in PDT can cause the increase of intracellular ROS and the photothermal agent (PTA) in PTT can induce photothermal conversion, leading to the tumoricidal effects. In this review, the progress of PT applications in the treatment of bone cancer has been outlined and summarized, and some envisioned challenges and future perspectives have been mentioned. This review provides the current state of the art regarding PDT and PTT in bone cancer and inspiration for future studies on PT.

Abstract
There is an impending need for the development of carrier-free nanosystems for single laser triggered activation of phototherapy, as such approach can overcome the drawbacks associated with irradiation by two distinct laser sources for avoiding prolonged treatment time and complex treatment protocols. Herein, we developed a self-assembled nanosystem (SCP-CS) consisting of a new semiconducting polymer (SCP) and encapsulated ultrasmall CuS (CS) nanoparticles. The SCP component displays remarkable near infrared (NIR) induced photothermal ability, enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and incredible photoacoustic (PA) signals upon activation by 808 nm laser for phototherapy mediated cancer ablation. The CuS component improves the PA imaging ability of SCP-CS, and also enhances photo-induced chemodynamic efficacy. Attributed to promoted single laser-triggered hyperthermia and enhanced ROS generation, the SCP-CS nanosystem shows effective intracellular uptake and intratumoral accumulation, enhanced tumor suppression with reduced treatment time, and devoid of any noticeable toxicity.

Abstract
With the increasing interest in photodynamic therapy (PDT), the assessment of the level of reactive oxygen species produced during PDT has also become increasingly important. However, most of the fluorescent probes for reactive oxygen species (ROS) evaluation were separated from photosensitizers in the PDT process, resulting in ex situ and asynchronous treatment feedback. Additionally, the consumption of ROS by these fluorescent probes themselves will inevitably affect the therapeutic effect. Herein, inspired by the redox balance in the cell, we developed a multifunctional hydrogen sulfide (H2S) probe Ru-NBD for reporting the therapeutic effect during the PDT process by detecting hydrogen sulfide. The probe Ru-NBD could not only serve as an effective PDT reagent both before and after H2S activation but could also be used for real-time and in situ monitoring of the therapeutic effect via restored luminescence during the PDT process. As the phototherapy process progresses, the luminescent signal of Ru-NBD changes accordingly. The experimental results show that there is a certain correlation between the luminescence intensity and the cell inhibition rate; thus, we can monitor the phototherapy process by detecting the changes in the probe's luminescent signal. This study provides an idea for the design and adjustment of PDT.

Front Oncol 2021; 11:652831.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered a potential treatment regimen for colorectal cancer cases (CRC). p53 signaling and the miR-124/iASPP axis play an essential role in the PDT resistance of CRC cells. PDT treatment downregulated NEAT1 expression in p53wt HCT116 and RKO cells. In these two cell lines, NEAT1 silencing enhanced the suppressive effects of PDT on cell viability and apoptosis. Within the subcutaneously implanted tumor model, NEAT1 silencing enhanced PDT-induced suppression on tumor growth. Regarding p53-deleted HCT116 cells, PDT only moderately affected cell proliferation but induced downregulation of NEAT1. NEAT1 directly targeted miR-124, acting as a ceRNA, competing with iASPP for miR-124 binding, and counteracting miR-124-mediated repression on iASPP under PDT treatment. NEAT1 silencing was enhanced, whereas miR-124 inhibition attenuated PDT effects on CRC cells; miR-124 inhibition significantly reversed the roles of NEAT1 silencing in PDT-treated CRC cells. miR-124 negatively correlated with NEAT1 and iASPP, respectively, whereas NEAT1 and iASPP positively correlated with each other. PDT downregulated c-Myc in CRC cells, and c-Myc activated the transcription of NEAT1 through the targeting of its promoter region. Within p53mut SW480 cells, PDT failed to alter cell viability and apoptosis but still downregulated c-Myc, NEAT1, and iASPP and upregulated miR-124. In p53 mutant high-abundant CRC tissues, c-Myc and NEAT1 were up-regulated, and miR-124 was downregulated. In c-Myc high-abundant CRC tissues, NEAT1 and iASPP were up-regulated, and miR-124 was downregulated. The critical role of the c-Myc/NEAT1 axis in mediating CRC response to PDT treatment via the miR-124/iASPP/p53 feedback loop was conclusively demonstrated.

Abstract
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are a class of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) with single-stranded G-rich sequences. Owing to the selectivity of some G4s, they are emerging as targeting agents to overtake side effects of several potential anticancer drugs, and delivery systems of small molecules to malignant cells, through their high affinity or complementarity to specific targets. Moreover, different systems are being used to improve their potential, such as gold nano-particles or liposomes. Thus, the present review provides relevant data about the different studies with G4s as drug delivery systems and the challenges that must be overcome in the future research.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been extensively investigated for decades for tumor treatment because of its non-invasiveness, spatiotemporal selectivity, lower side-effects, and immune activation ability. It can be a promising treatment modality in several medical fields, including oncology, immunology, urology, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, pneumology, and dentistry. Nevertheless, the clinical application of PDT is largely restricted by the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers, limited tissue penetrability of light, inefficient induction of tumor cell death, tumor resistance to the therapy, and the severe pain induced by the therapy. Recently, various photosensitizer formulations and therapy strategies have been developed to overcome these barriers. Significantly, the introduction of nanomaterials in PDT, as carriers or photosensitizers, may overcome the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers. Based on this, nanocomposites excited by various light sources are applied in the PDT of deep-seated tumors. Modulation of cell death pathways with co-delivered reagents promotes PDT induced tumor cell death. Relief of tumor resistance to PDT with combined therapy strategies further promotes tumor inhibition. Also, the optimization of photosensitizer formulations and therapy procedures reduces pain in PDT. Here, a systematic summary of recent advances in the fabrication of photosensitizers and the design of therapy strategies to overcome barriers in PDT is presented. Several aspects important for the clinical application of PDT in cancer treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a cancer therapy involving the systemic injection of a Photosensitizer (PS) that localizes to some extent in a tumor. After an appropriate time (ranging from minutes to days), the tumor is irradiated with red or near-infrared light either as a surface spot or by interstitial optical fibers. The PS is excited by the light to form a long-lived triplet state that can react with ambient oxygen to produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen and/or hydroxyl radicals, that kill tumor cells, destroy tumor blood vessels, and lead to tumor regression and necrosis. It has long been realized that in some cases, PDT can also stimulate the host immune system, leading to a systemic anti-tumor immune response that can also destroy distant metastases and guard against tumor recurrence. The present paper aims to cover some of the factors that can affect the likelihood and efficiency of this immune response. The structure of the PS, drug-light interval, rate of light delivery, mode of cancer cell death, expression of tumor-associated antigens, and combinations of PDT with various adjuvants all can play a role in stimulating the host immune system. Considering the recent revolution in tumor immunotherapy triggered by the success of checkpoint inhibitors, it appears that the time is ripe for PDT to be investigated in combination with other approaches in clinical scenarios.

Abstract
Achieving controlled and accurate delivery of photosensitizers (PSs) into tumor sites is a major challenge in conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT). Aptamer is a short oligonucleotide sequence (DNA or RNA) with a folded three-dimensional structure, which can selectively bind to specific small molecules, proteins, or the whole cells. Aptamers could act as ligands and be modified onto PSs or nanocarriers, enabling specific recognition and binding to tumor cells or their membrane proteins. The resultant aptamer-modified PSs or PSs-containing nanocarriers generate amounts of reactive oxygen species with light irradiation and obtain superior photodynamic therapeutic efficiency in tumors. Herein, we overview the recent progress in the designs and applications of aptamer-targeted photodynamic platforms for tumor therapy. First, we focus on the progress on the rational selection of aptamers and summarize the applications of aptamers which have been applied for targeted tumor diagnosis and therapy. Then, aptamer-targeted photodynamic therapies including various aptamer-PSs, aptamer-nanocarriers containing PSs, and aptamer-nano-photosensitizers are highlighted. The aptamer-targeted synergistically therapeutic platforms including PDT, photothermal therapy, and chemotherapy, as well as the imaging-guided theranostics, are also discussed. Finally, we offer an insight into the development trends and future perspectives of aptamer-targeted photodynamic platforms for tumor therapy.

Abstract
Simple Summary Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment option that can kill cancerous cells by subjecting them to light irradiation at a specific wavelength. The main problem related to most photosensitizers is the lack of tumor selectivity, which leads to undesired uptake in normal tissues resulting in side effects. Passive targeting and active targeting are the two strategies to improve uptake in tumor tissues. This review focused on active targeting and summarizes recent active targeting approaches in which highly potent photosensitizers are rendered tumor-specific by means of an appended targeting moiety that interacts with a protein unique to, or at least significantly more abundant on, tumor cell surfaces compared to normal cells. Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-documented therapy that has emerged as an effective treatment modality of cancers. PDT utilizes harmless light to activate non- or minimally toxic photosensitizers to generate cytotoxic species for malignant cell eradication. Compared with conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, PDT is appealing by virtue of the minimal invasiveness, its safety, as well as its selectivity, and the fact that it can induce an immune response. Although local illumination of the cancer lesions renders intrinsic selectivity of PDT, most photosensitizers used in PDT do not display significant tumor tissue selectivity. There is a need for targeted delivery of photosensitizers. The molecular identification of cancer antigens has opened new possibilities for the development of effective targeted therapy for cancer patients. This review provides a brief overview of recent achievements of targeted delivery of photosensitizers to cancer cells by targeting well-established cancer biomarkers. Overall, targeted PDT offers enhanced intracellular accumulation of the photosensitizer, leading to improved PDT efficacy and reduced toxicity to normal tissues.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) mostly relies on the generation of singlet oxygen, via the excitation of a photosensitizer, so that target tumor cells can be destroyed. PDT can be applied in the settings of several malignant diseases. In fact, the earliest preclinical applications date back to 1900’s. Dougherty reported the treatment of skin tumors by PDT in 1978. Several further studies around 1980 demonstrated the effectiveness of PDT. Thus, the technique has attracted the attention of numerous researchers since then. Hematoporphyrin derivative received the FDA approval as a clinical application of PDT in 1995. We have indeed witnessed a considerable progress in the field over the last century. Given the fact that PDT has a favorable adverse event profile and can enhance anti-tumor immune responses as well as demonstrating minimally invasive characteristics, it is disappointing that PDT is not broadly utilized in the clinical setting for the treatment of malignant and/or non-malignant diseases. Several issues still hinder the development of PDT, such as those related with light, tissue oxygenation and inherent properties of the photosensitizers. Various photosensitizers have been designed/synthesized in order to overcome the limitations. In this Review, we provide a general overview of the mechanisms of action in terms of PDT in cancer, including the effects on immune system and vasculature as well as mechanisms related with tumor cell destruction. We will also briefly mention the application of PDT for non-malignant diseases. The current limitations of PDT utilization in cancer will be reviewed, since identifying problems associated with design/synthesis of photosensitizers as well as application of light and tissue oxygenation might pave the way for more effective PDT approaches. Furthermore, novel promising approaches to improve outcome in PDT such as selectivity, bioengineering, subcellular/organelle targeting, etc. will also be discussed in detail, since the potential of pioneering and exceptional approaches that aim to overcome the limitations and reveal the full potential of PDT in terms of clinical translation are undoubtedly exciting. A better understanding of novel concepts in the field (e.g. enhanced, two-stage, fractional PDT) will most likely prove to be very useful for pursuing and improving effective PDT strategies.

[PMID: 34079746 PMCID: PMC8107298 DOI: 10.21037/qims-20-173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2020] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Recent progress in immunotherapy provides hope of a complete cure to cancer patients. However, recent studies have reported that only a limited number of cancer patients with a specific immune status, known as "cold tumor", can benefit from a single immune agent. Although the combination of immune agents with different mechanisms can partially increase the low response rate and improve efficacy, it can also result in more side effects. Therefore, discovering therapies that can improve tumors' response rate to immunotherapy without increasing toxicity for patients is urgently needed. Tumor interventional therapy is promising. It mainly includes transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, ablation, radioactive particle internal irradiation, and photodynamic interventional therapy based on a luminal stent. Interventional therapy can directly kill tumor cells by targeted drug delivery in situ, thus reducing drug dosage and systemic toxicity like cytokine release syndrome. More importantly, interventional therapy can regulate the immune system through numerous mechanisms, making it a suitable choice for immunotherapy to combine with. In this review, we provide a brief description of immunotherapies (and their side effects) on tumors of different immune types and preliminarily elaborate on interventional therapy mechanisms to improve immune efficacy. We also discuss the progress and challenges of the combination of interventional therapy and immunotherapy.
