Sinoporphyrin sodium is a promising sensitizer for photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy in glioma.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to explore the antitumor effects of sinoporphyrin sodium (DVDMS)?mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in glioma, and to reveal the underlying mechanisms. The uptake of DVDMS by U?118 MG cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). A 630?nm semiconductor laser and 1?MHz ultrasound were used to perform PDT and SDT, respectively. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated using the Cell Counting Kit?8 assay, FCM and Hoechst 33258 staining, respectively. Western blot analysis was used to detect protein expression and phosphorylation levels. BALB/c nude mice were used to establish a xenograft model of U?118 MG cells. DVDMS was injected intravenously and PDT and SDT were performed 24 h later. An in vivo imaging system was used to evaluate the fluorescence of DVDMS, to measure tumor sizes, and to evaluate the therapeutic effects. The uptake of DVDMS by U?118 MG cells was optimal after 4 h. PDT and SDT following DVDMS injection significantly inhibited the proliferation and increased apoptosis of glioma cells in vitro (P<0.05, P<0.01) respectively. In vivo, the fluorescence intensity of DVDMS was lower in the PDT and SDT groups compared with the DVDMS group, while tumor cell proliferation and weight were lower in the PDT and SDT groups than in the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference when laser, ultrasound or DVDMS were applied individually, compared with the control group. Hematoxylin and eosin staining suggested that both PDT and SDT induced significant apoptosis and vascular obstruction in cancer tissues. DVDMS?mediated PDT and SDT inhibited the expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Bcl?xL, increased cleaved ?caspase 3 levels, and decreased the protein phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Changes in the expression of PCNA, and Bcl?xL and in the levels of cleaved?caspase 3 were partly reversed by N?acetyl?L?cysteine, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger. Similar results were obtained with FCM. DVDMS?mediated PDT and SDT inhibited glioma cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in vitro and in vivo, potentially by increasing the generation of ROS and affecting protein expression and phosphorylation levels.

Project description:Limited penetration of chemotherapeutic drugs through the blood brain barrier (BBB), and the increased chemo-resistance of glioma cells due to macroautophagy/autophagy, result in high tumor recurrence and extremely limited survival of glioma patients. Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) is a technique of transient and reversible BBB disruption, which greatly facilitates intracerebral drug delivery. In addition, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) based on ultrasound stimulation and a sonosensitizer, can be a safe and noninvasive strategy for treating glioma. We innovatively designed a smart "all-in-one" nanosensitizer platform by incorporating the sonoactive chlorin e6 (Ce6) and an autophagy inhibitor-hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) into angiopep-2 peptide-modified liposomes (designated as ACHL), which integrates multiple diagnostic and therapeutic functions. ACHL selectively accumulated in the brain tumors during the optimal time-window of transient UTMD-mediated BBB opening. The nanosensitizer then responded to a second ultrasonic stimulation, and simultaneously unloaded HCQ and generated ROS in the glioma cells. The sonotherapy triggered apoptosis as well as MAPK/p38-PINK1-PRKN-dependent mitophagy, in which the antioxidant relieved the sonotoxicity and MAPK/p38 activation, while the inhibition of MAPK/p38 attenuated the progression toward mitophagy by compromising redistribution of PRKN. Moreover, HCQ blocking autophagosome degradation, augmented intracellular ROS production and resulted in an oxidative-damage regenerative loop. ACHL-SDT treatment using this construct significantly inhibited the xenograft-tumor growth and prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing mice, exhibiting an improved therapeutic efficiency. All together, we demonstrated a precision sonotherapy with simultaneous apoptosis induction and mitophagy inhibition, which served as an intelligently strategic sense of working alongside, providing new insights into the theranostics of brain tumors.AbbreviationsACHL: Angiopep-2-modified liposomes loaded with Ce6 and hydroxychloroquine; ACL: Angiopep-2-modified liposomes loaded with Ce6; BBB: blood brain barrier; Ce6: chlorin e6; CHL: liposomes loaded with Ce6 and hydroxychloroquine; CL: liposomes loaded with Ce6; CNS: central nervous system; DDS: drug delivery system; EB: Evans blue; FUS: focused ultrasound; HCQ: hydroxychloroquine; LRP1: low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; MAPK: mitogen-activated protein kinase; MBs: microbubbles; MTG: MitoTracker Green; MTR: MitoTracker Red; MTT: 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PDI: polydispersity index; PINK1: PTEN induced kinase 1; PRKN/parkin: parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; ROS: reactive oxygen species; SDT: sonodynamic therapy; SQSTM1: sequestome 1; TA: terephthalic acid; TEM: transmission electron microscopy; TUNEL: terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick-end labeling; US: ultrasound; UTMD: ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction.
