Enhancing antitumor efficacy of NIR-I region zinc phthalocyanine@upconversion nanoparticle through lysosomal escape and mitochondria targeting. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2024; 255:112923. [PMID: 38692166 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2024.112923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Accurately visualizing the intracellular trafficking of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) loaded with phthalocyanines and achieving precise photodynamic therapy (PDT) using near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation still present challenges. In this study, a novel NIR laser-triggered upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging-guided nanoparticle called FA@TPA-NH-ZnPc@UCNPs (FTU) was developed for PDT. FTU consisted of UCNPs, folic acid (FA), and triphenylamino-phenylaniline zinc phthalocyanine (TPA-NH-ZnPc). Notably, TPA-NH-ZnPc showcases aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic and NIR absorption properties at 741 nm, synthesized initially via molybdenum-catalyzed condensation reaction. The UCL emitted by FTU enable real-time visualization of their subcellular localization and intracellular trafficking within ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells. Fluorescence images revealed that FTU managed to escape from lysosomes due to the "proton sponge" effect of TPA-NH-ZnPc. The FA ligands on the surface of FTU further directed their transport and accumulation within mitochondria. When excited by a 980 nm laser, FTU exhibited UCL and activated TPA-NH-ZnPc, consequently generating cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2), disrupted mitochondrial function and induced apoptosis in cancer cells, which demonstrated great potential for tumor ablation.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on a photochemical reaction that is started when a photosensitizing process is activated by the light and results in the death of tumor cells. Solubility is crucial in PDT applications to investigate the physical and chemical characteristics of phthalocyanines, but, unfortunately, most phthalocyanines show limited solubility especially in water. To increase the solubility of phthalocyanines in polar solvents and water, ionic groups such as -SO3-, -NR3+, -COO-, and nonionic groups such as polyoxy chains are frequently added to the peripheral or nonperipheral positions of the phthalocyanine framework. Since water-solubility and NIR-absorbing properties are essential for efficient PDT activation, studies have been focused on the synthesis of these types of phthalocyanine derivatives. This review focuses on the photophysical, photochemical, and some in vitro or in vivo studies of the recently published ionic and nonionic phthalocyanine-mediated photosensitizers carried out in the last five years. This review will have positive contributions to future studies on phthalocyanine chemistry and their PDT applications as well as photochemistry.
