Photodynamic Therapy of Inorganic Complexes for the Treatment of Cancer†

Chloe B. Smith et al.

Summary: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medicinal tool that utilizes a photosensitizer and a light source to treat various conditions, including cancer, by inducing cell death through reactive oxygen species. Unlike chemotherapy, which is a systemic treatment, PDT is a localized method that utilizes inorganic complexes as photosensitizing agents for treating different types of cancer effectively.

Plasma membrane permeabilization to explain erythrosine B phototoxicity on in vitro breast cancer cell models

Maria J. Bistaffa et al.

Summary: Lipid oxidation is essential for photodynamic therapy of carcinomas, but the mechanisms in complex systems like plasma membranes are unclear. Erythrosine absorption in MCF7 lipid extract monolayers leads to lipid hydroperoxidation and membrane permeabilization, with light-irradiation exacerbating these effects and causing cell death through membrane rupture.

Eun Joo Jung et al.

Summary: This study elucidated the role of JNK in the anticancer effects of pKAL polyphenols on p53 wild-type HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells. The results showed that pKAL induced morphological changes and necrosis or late apoptosis through various molecular pathways. Inhibition of JNK enhanced pKAL-induced cell death through modulation of specific cellular signals despite reduced DNA damage.

Tuning the Nanoaggregates of Sialylated Biohybrid Photosensitizers for Intracellular Activation of the Photodynamic Response

Veronica Almeida-Marrero et al.

Summary: In order to extend the clinical use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treating superficial cancers and other neoplastic diseases, deeper understanding and control of subcellular processes determining the response of photosensitizers (PS) are necessary. Recent strategies involve the use of activatable and nanostructured PS, such as dendritic zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) derivatives with sialic acid (SA) substitutions, which self-assemble into nanoaggregates within cells to enhance PDT response.
