In vivo fluorescence lifetime imaging of macrophage intracellular metabolism during wound responses in zebrafish

Veronika Miskolci et al.

Summary: This study used two-photon imaging of autofluorescent metabolic coenzymes NAD(P)H and FAD to assess macrophage metabolism in the wound microenvironment. Results showed that inhibiting glycolysis led to a more oxidized intracellular redox state in macrophages, and infection and thermal injury induced a more oxidized redox state in wounded tissues. Kinetic analysis revealed a shift toward a more reduced redox state during tissue repair. Metformin improved tissue repair by reducing TNF alpha+ wound macrophages and making the intracellular redox state more reduced, while depletion of STAT6 impaired regeneration by increasing TNF alpha+ wound macrophages and making the redox state more oxidized. The study suggests that autofluorescence of NAD(P)H and FAD can be used to probe the temporal and spatial regulation of macrophage metabolism during tissue damage and repair.

A Recap of Heme Metabolism towards Understanding Protoporphyrin IX Selectivity in Cancer Cells

Martin Kiening et al.

Summary: Mitochondria play essential roles in energy production, iron metabolism, apoptosis, and heme synthesis. Specifically, the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX photosensitizer has been observed in neoplastic cells, suggesting a selective mechanism. This report aims to provide an overview of mitochondrial heme metabolism and potential explanations for the selectivity towards cancer cells, including the involvement of enzymes and transporters.

5-ALA Is a Potent Lactate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor but Not a Substrate: Implications for Cell Glycolysis and New Avenues in 5-ALA-Mediated Anticancer Action

Mantas Grigalavicius et al.

Summary: In a metabolic study, it was found that the addition of b-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells inhibited glycolysis and reduced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. The inhibitory effect is believed to be due to the competitive inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) by 5-ALA. The inhibition of LDH by 5-ALA was found to be comparable to established LDH inhibitors oxamate (OXM) and tartronate (TART). 5-ALA-induced glycolysis inhibition resulted in cell death in different metabolic phenotypes of GBM cells, with better outcomes in the Warburg-type cells. Furthermore, the inhibition of LDH by 5-ALA enhanced the outcome of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in GBM cells.

Targeting immunogenic cancer cell death by photodynamic therapy: past, present and future

Razan Alzeibak et al.

Summary: The past decade has seen significant breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy, with immunogenic cell death (ICD) emerging as a promising approach to eliminate tumor cells. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can induce ICD, but its efficiency is reduced in hypoxic tumor environments. Future research may focus on strategies like oxygen-boosted PDT and nanotechnology to address this limitation.

Summary: The study reviewed and analyzed the effectiveness of 5-ALA PDT in vitro experiments for different cancer cell types, finding that the sensitivity to 5-ALA PDT varies across cancer classifications, with stomach cancer showing significantly higher sensitivity compared to other cancers. The analysis suggests the need for a standardized in vitro experimental protocol for 5-ALA PDT in future research.

Sviatlana Kalinina et al.

Summary: Metabolic FLIM is used to image bioenergetic status in cells and tissue based on fluorescence lifetime of coenzymes. A new algorithm utilizing NAD(P)H and FAD lifetimes to calculate FLIRR has been developed. The study extended FLIRR approach and introduced FLIRR1, FLIRR2, and FLIRR3 to analyze the redox state of cells with different enzymes. The significance of extended FLIRR was compared to the metabolic index, showing the highest difference for FLIRR1 in tumor and normal cells.
