Abstract
Porphyrin, which shows selective accumulation in cancer cells, has attracted attention as a drug carrier. The influences of the functional porphyrin positions (β- and meso-positions) on porphyrin accumulation must be understood. In this work, we focused on the investigation of the phenyl functional group whose β-position influences cancer cell accumulation through direct membrane permeation and endocytosis. The endocytic pathway, in particular, is influenced by both clathrin-dependent and caveolae-dependent endocytosis.

Targeting and arginine-driven synergizing photodynamic therapy with nutritional immunotherapy nanosystems for combating MRSA biofilms. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2023; 9:eadg9116.

Abstract
The resistance and immune escape of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms cause recalcitrant infections. Here, we design a targeting and synergizing cascade PDT with nutritional immunotherapy nanosystems (Arg-PCN@Gel) containing PCN-224 as PDT platform for providing reactive oxygen species (ROS), incorporating arginine (Arg) as nitric oxide (NO) donor to cascade with ROS to produce more lethal ONOO- and promote immune response, and coating with gelatin as targeting agent and persistent Arg provider. The nanosystems adhered to the autolysin of MRSA and inhibited Arg metabolism by down-regulating icdA and icaA. It suppressed polysaccharide intercellular adhesin and extracellular DNA synthesis to prevent biofilm formation. The NO broke mature biofilms and helped ROS and ONOO- penetrate into biofilms to inactivate internal MRSA. Arg-PCN@Gel drove Arg to enhance immunity via inducible NO synthase/NO axis and arginase/polyamine axis and achieve efficient target treatment in MRSA biofilm infections. The targeting and cascading PDT synergized with nutritional immunotherapy provide an effective promising strategy for biofilm-associated infections.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a curative method, firstly developed for cancer therapy with fast response after treatment and minimum side effects. Two zinc(II) phthalocyanines (3ZnPc and 4ZnPc) and a hydroxycobalamin (Cbl) were investigated on two breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) in comparison to normal cell lines (MCF-10 and BALB 3T3). The novelty of this study is a complex of non-peripherally methylpyridiloxy substituted Zn(II) phthalocyanine (3ZnPc) and the evaluation of the effects on different cell lines due to the addition of second porphyrinoid such as Cbl. The results showed the complete photocytotoxicity of both ZnPc-complexes at lower concentrations (<0.1 μM) for 3ZnPc. The addition of Cbl caused a higher phototoxicity of 3ZnPc at one order lower concentrations (<0.01 μM) with a diminishment of the dark toxicity. Moreover, it was determined that an increase of the selectivity index of 3ZnPc, from 0.66 (MCF-7) and 0.89 (MDA-MB-231) to 1.56 and 2.31, occurred by the addition of Cbl upon exposure with a LED 660 nm (50 J/cm2). The study suggested that the addition of Cbl can minimize the dark toxicity and improve the efficiency of the phthalocyanines for anticancer PDT applications.

Abstract
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient acquired via dietary intake. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a key mechanism in vitamin B12 absorption, cellular uptake, and reabsorption. CD320 is a type I transmembrane protein responsible for cellular uptake of vitamin B12 in peripheral tissues. In this study, we examined segmental distribution and cellular expression of CD320 in mouse kidneys and intestines. We show that CD320 is expressed on the luminal surface in the small intestine and in proximal tubules in the kidney, suggesting that, in addition to its role in vitamin B12 uptake in peripheral tissues, CD320 may participate in vitamin B12 absorption in the small intestine and reabsorption in the kidney. Moreover, we show that an amino acid motif, DSSDE, in the second low-density lipoprotein receptor class A domain of CD320 is a key apical membrane targeting signal in both renal and intestinal epithelial cells. Mutations or deletion of this motif abolish the specific apical membrane expression of CD320 in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells and human colon cancer-derived Caco-2 cells. In short-hairpin RNA-based gene knockdown experiments, we show that the apical membrane targeting of CD320 is mediated by a Rab11a-dependent mechanism. These results extend our knowledge regarding the cell biology of CD320 and its role in vitamin B12 metabolism.
