Abstract
Ferroptosis is a programmed death mode that regulates redox homeostasis in cells, and recent studies suggest that it is a promising mode of tumor cell death. Ferroptosis is regulated by iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, and intracellular reducing substances, which is the mechanism basis of its combination with photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and 1O2 through type I and type II photochemical reactions, and subsequently induces ferroptosis through the Fenton reaction and the peroxidation of cell membrane lipids. PDT kills tumor cells by generating excessive cytotoxic ROS. Due to the limited laser depth and photosensitizer enrichment, the systemic treatment effect of PDT is not good. Combining PDT with ferroptosis can compensate for these shortcomings. Nanoparticles constructed by photosensitizers and ferroptosis agonists are widely used in the field of combination therapy, and their targeting and biological safety can be improved through modification. These nanoparticles not only directly kill tumor cells but also further exert the synergistic effect of PDT and ferroptosis by activating antitumor immunity, improving the hypoxia microenvironment, and inhibiting the tumor angiogenesis. Ferroptosis-agonist-induced chemotherapy and PDT-induced ablation also have good clinical application prospects. In this review, we summarize the current research progress on PDT and ferroptosis and how PDT and ferroptosis promote each other.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2023; 239:112642. [PMID: 36623346 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2022.112642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using an 808 nm laser irradiation with indocyanine green (ICG) has shown tumoricidal effects in a hepatocellular (HCC) orthotopic xenograft model. Recently, combining PDT with concurrent chemotherapy has shown synergistic outcomes and a better therapeutic effect for cancer treatment. In the present study, we utilized a combination of chemotherapy drugs and PDT using ICG in vitro and in vivo in a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDoX) model. METHOD We independently performed PDT and chemotherapy with sorafenib or doxorubicin in the Huh-7 and Hep3b cell lines by increasing the sorafenib or doxorubicin concentration and increasing the total energy of 808 nm light. Subsequently, we combined the two treatments to confirm the effects on cell viability. The combination index (CI) was evaluated in vitro, and thereafter, in the HCC PDoX mouse model, 808 nm laser irradiation with intravenously injected ICG and chemotherapy using doxorubicin were performed for twelve days. RESULT The viability of the Huh-7 and Hep3B cell lines decreased rapidly as the concentration of sorafenib or doxorubicin increased and as the total energy of 808 nm light increased. The cell viability of the Huh-7 and Hep3b cell lines with combined PDT and chemotherapy was less than that with PDT or chemotherapy alone. The CI was <1 in the sorafenib- or doxorubicin-treated Huh-7 and Hep3b cell lines. In the HCC PDoX mouse model, tumor size was markedly decreased, and complete remission achieved compared to that of the single chemotherapy or PDT and control groups. CONCLUSION The synergistic effect of concurrent PDT and chemotherapy in the HCC cell line and PDoX model was confirmed with no definite adverse effect. Concurrent PDT and chemotherapy could be applied in further preclinical studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cutaneous adverse events (AEs) following cancer immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy have been well-documented in the literature. A number of case reports have identified phototherapy, a form of light therapy that mimics sunlight exposure, as a noninvasive treatment modality for these cutaneous toxicities. By inducing local suppression of the immune system, phototherapy is a skin-directed treatment with minimal effect on tumor response. Phototherapy may therefore be a viable treatment option for cutaneous AEs from cancer therapies. METHODS We reviewed the literature for patients treated with phototherapy for cutaneous AEs following cancer immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or chemotherapy. We also included three previously unpublished cases from our own institution. RESULTS We identified 24 patients (80% male, mean age 67 years, range 49-75 years). Patients received the following phototherapy types: NB-UVB (n = 17), PUVA (n = 6), or PDT (n = 1). A topical steroid was used in conjunction with phototherapy in seven patients. At phototherapy onset, cancer treatment was either continued, temporarily discontinued, or discontinued (n = 9, 6, 7, respectively; in two cases, the cancer treatment course was unknown). Improvement of cutaneous AEs was observed in 96% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Phototherapy resulted in full or partial improvement in all but one patient. A topical steroid was used in nearly a third of patients, suggesting some oncodermatologists co-administer topicals to further boost response. Continuation of cancer therapy in the majority of patients highlights an additional advantage of phototherapy. We believe phototherapy may be an effective adjunctive treatment to topical steroids when treating these cutaneous toxicities.

Abstract
Sorafenib, a multitargeted kinase inhibitor, has been reported to elicit a limited therapeutic effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently, phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is emerging as a powerful modality for cancer therapy. However, few studies have been reported the effectiveness of the combination of sorafenib with PDT and PTT in HCC. Herein, we designed and synthesized bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and sorafenib (SFB) nanoparticle (ZnPc/SFB@BSA). The obtained ZnPc/SFB@BSA was able to trigger PDT, PTT, and chemotherapy. After irradiation by a 730 nm light, ZnPc/SFB@BSA significantly suppressed HCC cell proliferation and metastasis while promoted cell apoptosis in vitro. Furthermore, intravenous injection of ZnPc/SFB@BSA led to dramatically reduced tumor growth in an orthotopic xenograft HCC model. More importantly, ZnPc/SFB@BSA presented low toxicity and adequate blood compatibility. Therefore, a combination of ZnPc with sorafenib via BSA-assembled nanoparticle can markedly suppress HCC growth, representing a promising strategy for HCC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor used in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, advanced renal cell carcinoma, and differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Cutaneous adverse events are numerous and occur frequently. PATIENTS AND METHODS We present two cases of nodulocystic lesions associated with comedones in patients treated with sorafenib for hepatocellular carcinoma. In the first patient, a 64-year-old man, lesions appeared on the trunk one year after beginning sorafenib. Histopathological examination revealed a non-granulomatous, perivascular and perisudoral polymorphic cellular infiltrate associated with comedones and microcysts. These lesions progressed via inflammatory episodes interrupted by long periods of spontaneous remission without any specific treatment. In the second patient, a 53-year-old woman, a rash appeared on the buttocks three months after starting sorafenib and then spread to the lumbar region and thighs. Histopathological examination was consistent with granulomatous acne lesions. The initial treatment (oral tetracycline and zinc) given for 3 months proved ineffective. Patient follow-up over 3 years showed gradual regression without the appearance of any further lesions. DISCUSSION In the literature, several reports discuss acneiform rashes in patients treated with targeted therapy. In most cases, these lesions were papulopustular without retentional lesions. There are few reports of nodulocystic eruptions associated with comedones following sorafenib therapy. The mechanisms of emergence of these lesions seem to involve inhibition of the RAF pathway, C-KIT, and the PDGF signaling pathway.

Abstract
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment successfully used for neoplastic, inflammatory and infectious skin diseases. One of its strengths is represented by the high safety profile, even in elderly and/or immuno-depressed subjects. PDT, however, may induce early and late onset side effects. Erythema, pain, burns, edema, itching, desquamation, and pustular formation, often in association with each other, are frequently observed in course of exposure to the light source and in the hours/days immediately after the therapy. In particular, pain is a clinically relevant short-term complication that also reduces long-term patient satisfaction. Rare complications are urticaria, contact dermatitis at the site of application of the photosensitizer, and erosive pustular dermatosis. Debated is the relationship between PDT and carcinogenesis: the eruptive appearance of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in previously treated areas has been correlated to a condition of local and/or systemic immunosuppression or to the selection of PDT-resistant SCC. Here we review the literature, with particular emphasis to the pathogenic hypotheses underlying these observations.
