研究目的
To introduce a pre-screening platform for two-photon photosensitizers (TPE-PS) using a 3D osteosarcoma model to evaluate their efficacy and localization in photodynamic therapy.
研究成果
The developed in vitro screening platform effectively profiles TPE-PS, demonstrating that high σ2PA and cellular internalization are crucial for PDT efficacy. TPP and P2CK showed significant phototoxicity and localized damage in 3D models, highlighting the potential of TPE-PDT for precise cancer treatment with minimal collateral damage. This approach enables high-throughput analysis of PS efficacy.
研究不足
The study was limited by the low two-photon absorption of Eosin Y and insufficient laser output at longer wavelengths (e.g., 960 nm), which restricted its evaluation. The setup's noise range affected reliable σ2PA extraction for some compounds. The 3D model may not fully replicate in vivo conditions, and the screening platform's applicability to other cell types or PS needs further validation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved characterizing two-photon absorption cross-sections (σ2PA) using an automated z-scan setup, assessing cellular uptake via confocal laser scanning microscopy (LSM), and quantifying phototoxicity using the PrestoBlue metabolic assay in a 3D hydrogel-based osteosarcoma cell culture. The design included testing three TPE-PS (P2CK, Eosin Y, TPP) at optimal wavelengths determined by z-scan.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
MG63 osteosarcoma cells and adipose-derived stem cells (ASC/TERT) were used. Cells were encapsulated in gelatin-norbornene (GelNB) hydrogels. Photosensitizers were dissolved in PBS or DMSO at specified concentrations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a PerkinElmer Lambda 750 spectrometer for UV-VIS spectra, a home-built z-scan setup with a MaiTai DeepSee femtosecond laser, LSM 700 confocal microscope, BioTek Synergy H1 plate reader, and various objectives (e.g., ZEISS 10×/0.3 NA, 2.5×/0.085 NA). Materials included GelNB hydrogel, dithiothreitol (DTT), lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (Li-TPO), and photosensitizers (P2CK, Eosin Y, TPP).
4:3 NA, 5×/085 NA). Materials included GelNB hydrogel, dithiothreitol (DTT), lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (Li-TPO), and photosensitizers (P2CK, Eosin Y, TPP). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Z-scan measurements were performed at multiple wavelengths and powers. Cells were encapsulated in hydrogels, incubated with PS, irradiated with two-photon laser at specific wavelengths and intensities, and assessed for viability using PrestoBlue assay. Cellular uptake was imaged with LSM after PS incubation. Co-culture experiments involved irradiating spheroids and monitoring damage localization.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
σ2PA was calculated from z-scan data. Cell viability was quantified using PrestoBlue fluorescence. Statistical analysis used one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-test.
