Polphylipoprotein-induced autophagy mechanism with high performance in photodynamic therapy.

ABSTRACT: Polphylipoprotein (PLP) is a recently developed nanoparticle with high biocompatibility and tumor selectivity, and which has demonstrated unprecedentedly high performance photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photodynamic diagnosis. On the basis of these discoveries, PLP is anticipated to have a very high potential for PDT. However, the mechanism by which PLP kills cancer cells effectively has not been sufficiently clarified. To comprehensively understand the PLP-induced PDT processes, we conduct multifaceted experiments using both normal cells and cancer cells originating from the same sources, namely, RGM1, a rat gastric epithelial cell line, and RGK1, a rat gastric mucosa-derived cancer-like mutant. We reveal that PLP enables highly effective cancer treatment through PDT by
