“…Therefore, a detailed analysis should be conducted to further clarify the roles of RSKs in ABCB1-mediated PpIX efflux. Hypoxia is a common characteristic of advanced solid tumours, which reduces the efficacy of 5-ALA-PDD and PDT by different mechanisms 32 . One of them is the increased expression of HIF-1α, which in turn reduces PpIX accumulation under hypoxic conditions 17,33 .…”

The efficacy of aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based photodynamic diagnosis (5-ALA-PDD) and photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) is dependent on 5-ALA-induced cancer-specific accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). We previously reported that inhibition of oncogenic Ras/MEK increases PpIX accumulation in cancer cells by reducing PpIX efflux through ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1) and ferrochelatase (FECH)-catalysed PpIX conversion to haem. Here, we sought to identify the downstream pathways of Ras/MEK involved in the regulation of PpIX accumulation via ABCB1 and FECH. First, we demonstrated that Ras/MEK activation reduced PpIX accumulation in RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells and HRAS transgenic mice. Knockdown of p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK) 2, 3, or 4 increased PpIX accumulation in RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells. Further, treatment with an RSK inhibitor reduced ABCB1 expression and increased PpIX accumulation. Moreover, HIF-1α expression was reduced when RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells were treated with a MEK inhibitor, demonstrating that HIF-1α is a downstream element of MEK. HIF-1α inhibition decreased FECH activity and increased PpIX accumulation. Finally, we demonstrated the involvement of RSKs and HIF-1α in the regulation of PpIX accumulation in human cancer cell lines. These results demonstrate that the RSK-ABCB1 and HIF-1α-FECH axes are the downstream pathways of Ras/MEK involved in the regulation of PpIX accumulation.

1The efficacy of aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based photodynamic diagnosis (5-ALA-PDD) and 2 photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) is dependent on the 5-ALA-induced cancer-specific 3 accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). We previously reported that inhibition of oncogenic 4 Ras/MEK increases PpIX accumulation in cancer cells by reducing PpIX efflux through ATP-binding 5 cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1) as well as PpIX conversion to heme by ferrochelatase 6 (FECH). Here, we sought to identify the downstream pathways of Ras/MEK involved in the 7 regulation of PpIX accumulation via ABCB1 and FECH. First, we demonstrated that Ras/MEK 8 activation reduced PpIX accumulation in RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells and HRAS transgenic 9 mice. Knockdown of p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK) 2, 3, or 4 increased PpIX accumulation in the 10 RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells. Further, treatment with an RSK inhibitor reduced ABCB1 11 expression and increased PpIX accumulation. Moreover, HIF-1α expression was reduced when the 12 RasV12-transformed NIH3T3 cells were treated with a MEK inhibitor, demonstrating that HIF-1α is a 13 downstream element of MEK. HIF-1α inhibition decreased the activity of FECH and increased PpIX 14 accumulation. Finally, we demonstrated the involvement of RSKs and HIF-1α in the regulation of 15 PpIX accumulation in human cancer cell lines (DLD-1, SNB-75, Hs 578T, and MDA MB 231). These 16 results demonstrate that the RSK-ABCB1 and HIF-1α-FECH axes are the downstream pathways of 17 Ras/MEK involved in the regulation of PpIX accumulation. 18 19

“…Besides, the Eka-Putra Gusti-Ngurah-Putu team reported that PDT + lipid-platinum-chloride nanoparticles significantly reduced tumor volume by up to ~112% on the OSCC xenograft model [ 18 ]. Yet, single-modal PDT's therapeutic effect was compromised mainly because of the tumor microenvironment-related hypoxia or certain anti-oxidant defense mechanisms [ 19 ]. Therefore, strategies should be considered to overcome the hypoxia-related PDT failure.…”
