A Nanoencapsulated Ir(III)-Phthalocyanine Conjugate as a Promising Photodynamic Therapy Anticancer Agent. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:38916-38930.

Abstract
Despite the potential of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in cancer treatment, the development of efficient and photostable photosensitizing molecules that operate at long wavelengths of light has become a major hurdle. Here, we report for the first time an Ir(III)-phthalocyanine conjugate (Ir-ZnPc) as a novel photosensitizer for high-efficiency synergistic PDT treatment that takes advantage of the long-wavelength excitation and near infrared (NIR) emission of the phthalocyanine scaffold and the known photostability and high phototoxicity of cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes. In order to increase water solubility and cell membrane permeability, the conjugate and parent zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) were encapsulated in amphoteric redox-responsive polyurethane-polyurea hybrid nanocapsules (Ir-ZnPc-NCs and ZnPc-NCs, respectively). Photobiological evaluations revealed that the encapsulated Ir-ZnPc conjugate achieved high photocytotoxicity in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions under 630 nm light irradiation, which can be attributed to dual Type I and Type II reactive oxygen species (ROS) photogeneration. Interestingly, PDT treatments with Ir-ZnPc-NCs and ZnPc-NCs significantly inhibited the growth of three-dimensional (3D) multicellular tumor spheroids. Overall, the nanoencapsulation of Zn phthalocyanines conjugated to cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes provides a new strategy for obtaining photostable and biocompatible red-light-activated nano-PDT agents with efficient performance under challenging hypoxic environments, thus offering new therapeutic opportunities for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Two different poly(benzylmalate) biopolymers, a hydrophobic non-PEGylated (PMLABe73) and an amphiphilic PEGylated derivative (PEG42-b-PMLABe73), have been used to encapsulate a phthalocyanine chosen for its substitution pattern that is highly suitable for photodynamic therapy. Different phthalocyanine/(co)polymers ratios have been used for the nanoprecipitation. A set of six nanoparticles has been obtained. If the amphiphilic PEGylated copolymer proved to be slightly more efficient for the encapsulation and to lower the aggregation of the phthalocyanine inside the nanoparticles, it is, however, the hydrophobic PMLABe73-based nanoparticles that exhibited the best photodynamic efficiency.

NIR-II imaging-guided precise photodynamic therapy for augmenting tumor-starvation therapy by glucose metabolism reprogramming interference. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2024; 69:1263-1274. [PMID: 38418300 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2024.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is a mechanism by which cancer cells alter their metabolic patterns to promote cell proliferation and growth, thereby enabling their resistance to external stress. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) can eliminate their energy source by inhibiting glucose glycolysis, leading to cancer cell death through starvation. However, a compensatory increase in mitochondrial metabolism inhibits its efficacy. Herein, we propose a synergistic approach that combines photodynamic therapy (PDT) with starvation therapy to address this challenge. To monitor the nanodrugs and determine the optimal triggering time for precise tumor therapy, a multifunctional nano-platform comprising lanthanide-doped nanoparticle (LnNP) cores was constructed and combined with mesoporous silicon shells loaded with 2DG and photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) in the mesopore channels. Under 980 nm near-infrared light excitation, the downshifted 1550 nm fluorescence signal in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window from the LnNPs was used to monitor the accumulation of nanomaterials in tumors. Furthermore, upconverted 650 nm light excited the Ce6 to generate singlet oxygen for PDT, which damaged mitochondrial function and enhanced the efficacy of 2DG by inhibiting hexokinase 2 and lactate dehydrogenase A expressions. As a result, glucose metabolism reprogramming was inhibited and the efficiency of starvation therapy was significantly enhanced. Overall, the proposed NIR-II bioimaging-guided PDT-augmented starvation therapy, which simultaneously inhibited glycolysis and mitochondria, facilitated the effects of a cancer theranostic system.

Abstract
A dual donor-acceptor photosensitizer TCN-2 prepared based on single donor-acceptor could fulfil lipid droplets targeting to trigger apoptosis and tumor growth arrest. Meanwhile, all of experiments both in phosphate buffer solution and intracellular surroundings have demonstrated that TCN-2 catalyzed the production of type I as well as type II reactive oxygen species, forming a hybrid reactive oxygen species pattern, indicating that TCN-2 could be applied to initiate a series of biological responses triggered by oxidative stress within most high-viscosity solid tumors. In addition, TCN-2 also has the capability of fluorescence imaging, which could perfectly combine therapeutic imaging to achieve therapeutic effects while identifying cancerous lesions. Due to the structural design of double electron-absorbing groups, TCN-2 retained excellent lipophilicity while enhancing solubility in the biological environment. Terrific biocompatibility, minimal phototoxic damage to normal cells and tissues, and specific driving to prescriptive organelles to maximize therapeutic effects were used to enhance the therapeutic effect of photodynamic therapy to cease disease progression.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an alternative treatment for several pathologies, including cancer. This therapy uses a photosensitizer capable of producing reactive oxygen species through irradiation, promoting cellular death. A limitation of photosensitizers is their low solubility in aqueous media. Hence, developing a suitable carrier for photosensitizers for specific applications is a challenge. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and photodynamic therapy could be an attractive alternative therapeutic approach. In this work, we synthesized films composed of chitosan, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and liposomes containing Zn-phthalocyanine. Photophysical characterization of ZnPc incorporated into films was determined by UV-vis and fluorescence. Film properties such as swelling, mechanical properties, and water vapor permeability were performed. Finally, in vitro, photodynamic evaluation of these films was performed on HeLa cells. The results indicate that incorporating Zn-Pc-liposomes into films decreases cell viability by >95 %.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy has emerged as a recognized anti-tumor treatment involving three fundamental elements: photosensitizers, light, and reactive oxygen species. Enhancing the effectiveness of photosensitizers remains the primary avenue for improving the biological therapeutic outcomes of PDT. Through three generations of development, HPPH is a 2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl derivative of pyropheophorbide-α, representing a second-generation photosensitizer already undergoing clinical trials for various tumors. The evolution toward third-generation photosensitizers based on HPPH involves structural modifications for multimodal applications and the combination of multifunctional compounds, leading to improved imaging localization and superior anti-tumor effects. While research into third-generation HPPH is beneficial for advancing PDT treatment, equal attention should also be directed toward the other two essential elements and personalized diagnosis and treatment methodologies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) fundamentally relies on local generation of PDT precursor states in added photosensitizers (PS), particularly triplet and photo-radical states. Monitoring these states in situ can provide important feedback but is difficult in practice. The states are strongly influenced by local oxygenation, pH and redox conditions, often varying significantly at PDT treatment sites. To overcome this problem, we followed local PDT precursor state populations of PS compounds, via their fluorescence intensity response to systematically varied excitation light modulation. Thereby, we could demonstrate local monitoring of PDT precursor states of methylene blue (MB) and IRdye700DX (IR700), and determined their transitions rates under different oxygenation, pH and redox conditions. By fiber-optics, using one fiber for both excitation and fluorescence detection, the triplet and photo-radical state kinetics of locally applied MB and IR700 could then be monitored in a tissue sample. Finally, potassium iodide and ascorbate were added as possible PDT adjuvants, enhancing intersystem crossing and photoreduction, respectively, and their effects on the PDT precursor states of MB and IR700 could be locally monitored. Taken together, the presented procedure overcomes current methodological limitations and can offer feedback, guiding both excitation and PDT adjuvant application, and thereby more efficient and targeted PDT treatments.

Abstract
Tumor immunotherapy, compared with other treatment strategies, has the notable advantage of a long-term therapeutic effect for preventing metastasis and the recurrence of tumors, thus holding great potential for the future of advanced tumor therapy. However, due to the poor water solubility of immune modulators and immune escape properties of tumor cells, the treatment efficiency of immunotherapy is usually significantly reduced. Cyclodextrin (CD) has been repeatedly highlighted to be probably one of the most investigated building units for cancer therapy due to its elegant integration of an internal hydrophobic hollow cavity and an external hydrophilic outer surface. The application of CD for immunotherapy provides new opportunities for overcoming the aforementioned obstacles. However, there are few published reviews, to our knowledge, summarizing the use of CD for cancer immunotherapy. For this purpose, this paper provides a comprehensive summary on the application of CD for immunotherapy with an emphasis on the role, function, and reported strategies of CD in mediating immunotherapy. This review summarizes the research progress made in using CD for tumor immunotherapy, which will facilitate the generation of various CD-based immunotherapeutic delivery systems with superior anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted much attention in recent years for its favorable therapeutic efficacy in cancer therapy. However, PDT alone is insufficient to improve the therapeutic efficiency mainly due to the limited penetration depth of light, the insufficient O2 supply in the hypoxic microenvironment, and the high level of reducing substances in cancer cells. To overcome these limitations, a multifunctional MnO2 nanoparticle was constructed with honeycomb MnO2 which was loaded with the photosensitizer Ce6 and modified with polydopamine on its surface (HMnO2/C&P) to achieve efficient PDT/mild photothermal treatment (PTT) combination therapy. HMnO2/C&P had high drug loading contents (11.2% Ce6) and can be responsive to the tumor microenvironment (TME), supply O2 to alleviate the hypoxic microenvironment, and clear GSH to reduce the consumption of ROS, thus enhancing the PDT effect. The introduction of PDA can improve the stability of HMnO2/C&P, and further give the ability of PTT to act as nanomedicine. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments show that HMnO2/C&P based PDT/mild PTT combination therapy has an excellent inhibitory effect on tumor growth. Meanwhile, HMnO2/C&P can act as a fluorescence imaging reagent and a TME triggerable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, thus having excellent multimodal self-tracking abilities. Collectively, this study provides a new perspective on the design of multifunctional theranostic nanomedicine to maximize the efficacy of cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Cancer has been regarded as one of the most intractable diseases worldwide and threatens human health and life. Photothermal/Photodynamic therapy (PTT and PDT) have emerged as reliable and effective strategies in cancer treatment with the superiorities of non-invasiveness, slight side effects, and high treatment efficiency. Herein, a nanocomposite (PBCN) was fabricated via electrostatic interaction between Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and the resulting PBCN possessed good photothermal properties and excellent photodynamic effects with 808 nm irradiation. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent fluorescence imaging ability in cells, highlighting its potential as a powerful imaging agent in the biomedical field. Combination with a photothermal material, photosensitizer, and fluorescence imaging agent would thus allow PBCN to realize fluorescence imaging-guided PTT/PDT, showing an outstanding theranostic effect on cancer cells.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used in recent years as a non-invasive treatment for cancer, due to the side effects of traditional treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. This therapeutic technique requires a photosensitizer, light energy, and oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) which mediate cellular toxicity. PDT is a useful non-invasive therapy for cancer treatment, but it has some limitations that need to be overcome, such as low-light-penetration depths, non-targeting photosensitizers, and tumor hypoxia. This review focuses on the latest innovative strategies based on the synergistic use of other energy sources, such as non-visible radiation of the electromagnetic spectrum (microwaves, infrared, and X-rays), ultrasound, and electric/magnetic fields, to overcome PDT limitations and enhance the therapeutic effect of PDT. The main principles, mechanisms, and crucial elements of PDT are also addressed.

Abstract
Oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontitis and oral cancer, have a very high morbidity over the world. Basically, many oral diseases are commonly related to bacterial infections or cell malignant proliferation, and usually located on the superficial positions. These features allow the convenient and efficient application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for oral diseases, since PDT is ideally suitable for the diseases on superficial sites and has been widely used for antimicrobial and anticancer therapy. Photosensitizers (PSs) are an essential element in PDT, which induce the generation of a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon absorption of specific lights. Almost all the PSs are small molecules and commonly suffered from various problems in the PDT environment, such as low solubility and poor stability. Recently, reports on the nanomedicine-based PDT have been well documented. Various functionalized nanomaterials can serve either as the PSs carriers or the direct PSs, thus enhancing the PDT efficacy. Herein, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the features of different oral diseases and discuss the potential applications of nanomedicine-based PDT in the treatment of some common oral diseases. Also, the concerns and possible solutions for nanomaterials-mediated PDT are discussed.

Abstract
The development of new in vitro models that closely mimic the tumor microenvironment (TME) to evaluate the efficacy of anticancer drugs has received great attention. In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) cancer spheroid-embedded hydrogel model was suggested for integrative in situ determination of the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of photosensitizers (PSs). The MCF-7 cell-laden alginate/gelatin hydrogel was printed for the fabrication of tumor spheroids. The hydrogel was used to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding the cancer cells in the TME. The fluorescence intensities corresponding to photodynamic therapy (PDT)-induced death of tumor spheroids probed by the laser showed a random distribution in the hydrogel, regardless of the focus of the laser and the vertical-axis direction in which the laser was passed. These results enabled integrative in situ measurement of all tumor spheroids probed by the laser without needing to separate the tumor spheroids in the hydrogel and measure them individually. When compared with two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cultures, very large IC50 values of the PSs, chlorin e6 (Ce6) and sulfonated tetraphenyl porphyrin (sTPP), were achieved in MCF-7 spheroid-embedded hydrogels mainly due to the drug resistance of the tumor spheroids. Additionally, the heterogenic PDT response of single MCF-7 cancer cells in a single tumor spheroid was observed through 3D imaging of irregular apoptosis in a single spheroid since single tumor spheroids showed a heterogenic PDT response. Furthermore, the laser-power-dependent IC50 values of PSs were obtained using the MCF-7 spheroid-embedded hydrogel model.

Abstract
A series of water-soluble cationic thienoviologen derivative photosensitizers (nTPy-Rs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) is reported. Cationic pyridine groups were introduced into the thiophene framework to enhance solubility and bacteria-binding ability, which effectively improved bacteriological imaging and antibacterial activity. The optoelectronic properties of nTPy-Rs were regulated by adjusting the number of thiophene groups, and the differences in antibacterial activity due to the functional scaffolds were compared. The results showed that nTPy-Rs could generate reactive oxygen species (ROS, including macroscopic free radicals), efficiently inhibit bacterial growth, and achieve the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to the ng mL-1 level. Remarkably, 2TPyC6, containing two thiophene groups and modified by alkyl side chains, showed the best bacteriostatic performance, with the MIC of 20 ng mL-1 and 4.5 ng mL-1 for E. coli and S. aureus, respectively, which are the lowest photosensitizer concentrations used in PDT to date. The low cell cytotoxicity and excellent antibacterial performance give nTPy-Rs great potential as PDT agents in vivo.

Abstract
The current efforts in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of brain cancer are focused on the development of novel photosensitizers with improved photodynamic properties, targeted specific localization, and sensitivity to the irradiation dose, ensuring the effectiveness of PDT with fewer side effects for normal nerve tissue. Here, we characterize the effects of four photosensitizers of the tetracyanotetra(aryl)porphyrazine group (pz I–IV) on the functional activity of neuron-glial networks in primary hippocampal cultures in their application in normal conditions and under PDT. The data revealed that the application of pz I–IV leads to a significant decrease in the main parameters of the functional calcium activity of neuron-glial networks and pronounced changes in the network characteristics. The observed negative effects of pz I–IV were aggravated under PDT. Considering the significant restructuring of the functional architectonics of neuron-glial networks that can lead to severe impairments in synaptic transmission and loss of brain functions, and the feasibility of direct application of PDT based on pz I–IV in the therapy of brain tumors is highly controversial. Nevertheless, the unique properties of pz I–IV retain a great prospect of their use in the therapy of tumors of another origin and cellular metabolism.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has evolved as a revolutionized therapeutic modality to eradicate tumor cells by releasing the brake of the antitumor immune response. However, only a subset of patients could benefit from ICB treatment currently. Phototherapy usually includes photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). PTT exerts a local therapeutic effect by using photothermal agents to generate heat upon laser irradiation. PDT utilizes irradiated photosensitizers with a laser to produce reactive oxygen species to kill the target cells. Both PTT and PDT can induce immunogenic cell death in tumors to activate antigen-presenting cells and promote T cell infiltration. Therefore, combining ICB treatment with PTT/PDT can enhance the antitumor immune response and prevent tumor metastases and recurrence. In this review, we summarized the mechanism of phototherapy in cancer immunotherapy and discussed the recent advances in the development of phototherapy combined with ICB therapy to treat malignant tumors. Moreover, we also outlined the significant progress of phototherapy combined with targeted therapy or chemotherapy to improve ICB in preclinical and clinical studies. Finally, we analyzed the current challenges of this novel combination treatment regimen. We believe that the next-generation technology breakthrough in cancer treatment may come from this combinational win-win strategy of photoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Ultrasound-activated therapies have been regarded as the efficient strategy for tumor treatment, among which sonosensitizer-enabled sonodynamic oxidative tumor therapy features intrinsic advantages as compared to other exogenous trigger-activated dynamic therapies. Nanomedicine-based nanosonosensitizer design has been extensively explored for improving the therapeutic efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) of tumor. This review focuses on solving two specific issues, i.e., precise and enhanced sonodynamic oxidative tumor treatment, by rationally designing and engineering multifunctional composite nanosonosensitizers. This multifunctional design can augment the therapeutic efficacy of SDT against tumor by either improving the production of reactive oxygen species or inducing the synergistic effect of SDT-based combinatorial therapies. Especially, this multifunctional design is also capable of endowing the nanosonosensitizer with bioimaging functionality, which can effectively guide and monitor the therapeutic procedure of the introduced sonodynamic oxidative tumor treatment. The design principles, underlying material chemistry for constructing multifunctional composite nanosonosensitizers, intrinsic synergistic mechanism, and bioimaging guided/monitored precise SDT are summarized and discussed in detail with the most representative paradigms. Finally, the existing critical issues, available challenges, and potential future developments of this research area are also discussed for promoting the further clinical translations of these multifunctional composite nanosonosensitizers in SDT-based tumor treatment.
