PDT using talaporfin sodium as a photosensitizer has already been applied clinically for high-grade glioma treatment and improvement of its further therapeutic effect is highly desired. Recently, basic research and preclinical evaluation of PDT to improve its effect while minimizing surrounding normal tissue damage has been performed, since simply raising laser power to improve PDT effect is not realistic in view of damage to surrounding normal tissue. The main countermeasure might be the increase in accumulation of already known photosensitizers in tumor tissue. However, the search for mechanisms of tumor-specific accumulation of the photosensitizers and their interactions with key molecules of tumor cells is still underway. Using next generation photosensitizers and combination with immunotherapy, as well as increasing the tumor accumulation of existing photosensitizers, are important issues regarding basic research on and preclinical evaluation of PDT, and application of such new findings will result in the increase of the clinical role of PDT.","PeriodicalId":19350,"journal":{"name":"Nippon Laser Igakkaishi","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90922689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Porphyrin derivatives are used as photosensitizing molecules in cancer treatment (photodynamic therapy, PDT) and cancer diagnosis (photodynamic diagnosis, PDD). In the previous report, we developed glycosylated 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TFPP) zinc (Zn and 62 Zn) complexes as a PDT photosensitizer with positron emission tomography (PET)-tracking functionality. These complexes displayed a high cellular uptake amount, efficient photocytotoxicity, and promising PDT effect. However, they have the disadvantage of slow tumor accumulation. In this study, we synthesized TFPP zinc complexes (Zn-P) bearing two kinds of substituent groups, namely a glucose (Glc) group to improve tissue selectivity and a 2-hydroxyethanethiol (ME) group to enhance cell penetration for theranostics. We show that Zn-P(Glc) 2 (ME) 2 increased the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation under the standard condition of this photocytotoxicity test. The photocytotoxicity of Zn-P(Glc) 2 (ME) 2 was evaluated in HeLa cells, RGK-1 gastric carcinoma mucosal cells, and two human glioblastoma cells (U87 and T98G) at coincubation for 8 hours.

Fluorescence guided surgery (Fluorescence Guided Surgery: FGS) using 5-ALA is highly useful for malignant gliomas, because it selectively accumulates in the tumor cells and the presence of the tumor cells can be demonstrated in a very simple and real-time manner by the assessment of emitting fluorescence of its metabolite Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). Recently, the mechanism of PpIX accumulation has been elucidated, and in the future, research to increase the effects of PDD and PDT by increasing the efficiency of accumulation is expected. On the other hand, 5-ALA PDD is not useful in lower-grade gliomas due to problems including false positives and false negatives, and its use requires sufficient knowledge and experience. In order to overcome these problems, PpIX fluorescence quantification using spectral analysis have been developed, and further development of these techniques is expected.

Numerical calculation based on the light attenuation in bladder tissue and the absorption coefficient of PpIX showed that the fluorescence intensity with the green excitation light of 505 nm wavelength was highest for a tumor located at a depth of 0.9 mm or deeper. The diagnostic depth in an extracted porcine bladder tissue using an excitation wavelength of 505 nm was compared with that using the blue-violet excitation light of 405 nm wavelength that is currently used in PDD. The fluorescence intensity at the excitation wavelength of 505 nm was higher for a tumor located at a depth of 0.8 mm or deeper.
