Abstract
5,15-Diazaporphyrin appended with D-mannose moieties was prepared through Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and SN2 alkylation. The resultant diazaporphyrin was hydrophilic enough to exhibit sufficient solubility in aqueous media. Because of the photosensitizing ability of diazaporphyrins, the in vitro activity of the D-mannose-appended diazaporphyrin in photodynamic therapy (PDT) was investigated. The specific internalization of the functionalized diazaporphyrin into human breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231) cells through mannose receptors was confirmed by confocal microscopy imaging. We also demonstrated the strong PDT activity of the functionalized diazaporphyrin at a nanomolar level with short light irradiation time.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is witnessing a revival of its origins as a response to the rise of multi-drug resistant infections and the shortage of new classes of antibiotics. Photodynamic disinfection (PDDI) of microorganisms is making progresses in preclinical models and in clinical cases, and the perception of its role in the clinical armamentarium for the management of infectious diseases is changing. We review the positioning of PDDI from the perspective of its ability to respond to clinical needs. Emphasis is placed on the pipeline of photosensitizers that proved effective to inactivate biofilms, showed efficacy in animal models of infectious diseases or reached clinical trials. Novel opportunities resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic are briefly discussed. The molecular features of promising photosensitizers are emphasized and contrasted with those of photosensitizers used in the treatment of solid tumors. The development of photosensitizers has been accompanied by the fabrication of a variety of affordable and customizable light sources. We critically discuss the combination between photosensitizer and light source properties that may leverage PDDI and expand its applications to wider markets. The success of PDDI in the management of infectious diseases will ultimately depend on the efficacy of photosensitizers, affordability of the light sources, simplicity of the procedures, and availability of fast and efficient treatments.

Abstract
Glycoconjugated chlorins represent a promising class of compounds that meet the requirements for the third-generation photosensitizer (PS) for photodynamic therapy (PDT). We have focused on the use of glucose (Glc) to improve the performance of the PS based on the Warburg effect-a phenomenon where tumors consume higher Glc levels than normal cells. However, as a matter of fact, Glc-conjugation has a poor efficacy in hydrophilic modification; thus, the resultant PS is not suitable for intravenous injection. In this study, a Glc-based oligosaccharide, such as maltotriose (Mal3), is conjugated to chlorin e6 (Ce6). The conjugation is assisted by two additional molecular tools, such as propargyl amine and a tetraethylene glycol (TEG) derivative. This route produced the target Mal3-Ce6 conjugate linked via the TEG spacer (Mal3-TEG-Ce6), which shows the required photoabsorption properties in the physiological media. The PDT test using canine mammary carcinoma (SNP) cells suggested that the antitumor activity of Mal3-TEG-Ce6 is extremely high. Furthermore, in vitro tests against mouse mammary carcinoma (EMT6) cells have been demonstrated, providing insights into the photocytotoxicity, subcellular localization, and analysis of cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation for the PDT system with Mal3-TEG-Ce6. Both apoptosis and necrosis of the EMT6 cells occur by ROS that is generated via the photochemical reaction between Mal3-TEG-Ce6 and molecular oxygen. Consequently, Mal3-TEG-Ce6 is shown to be a PS showing the currently desired properties.

Novel Photosensitizer β-Mannose-Conjugated Chlorin e6 as a Potent Anticancer Agent for Human Glioblastoma U251 Cells. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2020; 13:ph13100316. [PMID: 33081106 PMCID: PMC7602738 DOI: 10.3390/ph13100316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
A photosensitizer is a molecular drug for photodynamic diagnosis and photodynamic therapy (PDT) against cancer. Many studies have developed photosensitizers, but improvements in their cost, efficacy, and side effects are needed for better PDT of patients. In the present study, we developed a novel photosensitizer β-mannose-conjugated chlorin e6 (β-M-Ce6) and investigated its PDT effects in human glioblastoma U251 cells. U251 cells were incubated with β-M-Ce6, followed by laser irradiation. Cell viability was determined using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. The PDT effects of β-M-Ce6 were compared with those of talaporfin sodium (TS) and our previously reported photosensitizer β-glucose-conjugated chlorin e6 (β-G-Ce6). Cellular uptake of each photosensitizer and subcellular distribution were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. β-M-Ce6 showed 1000× more potent PDT effects than those of TS, and these were similar to those of β-G-Ce6. β-M-Ce6 accumulation in U251 cells was much faster than TS accumulation and distributed to several organelles such as the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and lysosomes. This rapid cellular uptake was inhibited by low temperature, which suggested that β-M-Ce6 uptake uses biological machinery. β-M-Ce6 showed potent PDT anti-cancer effects compared with clinically approved TS, which is a possible candidate as a next generation photosensitizer in cancer therapy.

Possible mechanism of heme oxygenase-1 expression in rat malignant meningioma KMY-J cells subjected to talaporfin sodium-mediated photodynamic therapy. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2020; 32:102009.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously demonstrated that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction may contribute to a protective response against photodynamic therapy (PDT) using talaporfin sodium (TS) in rat malignant meningioma KMY-J cells. In the present study, we examined the mechanism of HO-1 induction by PDT with TS (TS-PDT) in KMY-J cells. METHODS KMY-J cells were incubated with 25 μM TS for 2 h and then exposed to 664 nm diode laser irradiation at 1 J/cm2. The gene and protein expression levels of HO-1 and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were determined by real-time RT-PCR and western blot analysis, respectively. Cell viability was measured using the cell counting kit-8 assay. RESULTS mRNA and protein levels of HO-1 in KMY-J cells were increased significantly at 3, 6, and 9 h after laser irradiation and the increased mRNA level of HO-1 was decreased by antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine treatment. The protein level of HIF-1α, which mediates transcriptional activation of the HO-1 gene, was increased significantly at 1 h after laser irradiation. Additionally, induction of mRNA expression of HO-1 by TS-PDT was diminished by HIF-1α inhibitor echinomycin. We also demonstrated that echinomycin significantly augmented the cytotoxic effect of TS-PDT. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that TS-PDT may induce HO-1 expression via reactive oxygen species production and then HIF-1 pathway activation in KMY-J cells, and the HO-1 induction may cause attenuation of the therapeutic effect of TS-PDT.

Synergistic effect of dichloroacetate on talaporfin sodium-based photodynamic therapy on U251 human astrocytoma cells. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2020; 31:101850.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Talaporfin sodium (TS) is an authorized photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) against some tumors in Japan; however, the drawbacks of the drug include its high cost and side effects. Thus, reducing the dose of TS in each round of TS-PDT against tumors is important for reducing treatment costs and improving patients' quality of life. Dichloroacetate (DCA) is approved for treating lactic acidosis and hereditary mitochondrial diseases, and it is known to enhance reactive oxygen species production and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Therefore, DCA has the potential to enhance the effects of TS-PDT and permit the use of lower TS doses without reducing the anti-cancer effect. METHODS U251 human astrocytoma cells were simultaneously incubated with TS and DCA using different concentrations, administration schedules, and treatment durations, followed by laser irradiation. Cell viability was determined using the CCK-8 assay. RESULTS The combinational use of DCA and TS resulted in synergistically enhanced TS-PDT effects in U251 cells. The duration of DCA treatment before TS-PDT slightly enhanced the efficacy of TS-PDT. The intensity of laser irradiation was not associated with the synergistic effect of DCA on TS-PDT. In addition, the relationship between the elapsed time after TS/DCA combination treatment and PDT ineffectiveness was identical to that of TS monotherapy. CONCLUSIONS DCA synergistically enhanced the anti-cancer effect of TS-PDT, illustrating its potential for drug repositioning in cancer therapy in combination with PDT.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using talaporfin sodium (TS) is tumor cell-selective less invasive therapy for the treatment of malignant glioma. We previously demonstrated that PDT using TS (TS-PDT) treatment exhibits anti-tumor activity against not only glioblastoma cells but also malignant meningioma cells. In general, various stress response proteins have been reported to affect the sensitivity determination for anticancer agents against tumor cells. However, the relationship between the therapeutic effect of TS-PDT and stress response systems in tumor cells is not adequately investigated. In this study, we investigated the gene expression of stress response proteins, including Sod1, Cat1, Gstp1, Gpx1, Nqo1, and Hmox1, in rat malignant meningioma KMY-J cells after treatment of TS-PDT. TS-PDT treatment significantly decreased the cell viability when compared with the no laser irradiation group. In morphological observation, TS at 25.6 µM treatment exhibited a significant cytotoxic effect after 12 hr of laser irradiation to KMY-J cells. After 3 and 6 hr of TS-PDT treatment, mRNA expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1, encoded by Hmox1) was significantly increased by TS-PDT treatment. We also demonstrated that zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPPIX), a HO-1 inhibitor, significantly augmented the cytotoxic effect of TS-PDT treatment. These data suggest that HO-1 induction may contribute to a protective response against TS-PDT treatment in the malignant meningioma cells and may attenuate the therapeutic effect for TS-PDT treatment.
