제목 Biocompatible Redox-Responsive Photosensitizer-Nanogel Complexes to Elucidate Intracellular Mechanisms of Photodynamic Therapy
초록 Photodynamic therapy(PDT) have attracted to be a non-invasive cancer therapy in that generation of toxic reactive oxygen species(ROS) is spatiotemporally controllable. However, using conventional photosensitizers have limitations due to their high light-dose requirement and inherent cytotoxicity even in dark condition. Herein, we present a photosensitizer-nanogel complexes, which induces apoptosis of cancer cells by responding to the highly reductive cancer environment and ROS-mediated oxidative stress with low light intensities. Redox-responsive nanogels were synthesized from hyperbranched polyether containing disulfide bonds, and the nanogels encapsulating iridium photosensitizers(IrNG) show enhancement in photo-sensitive cytotoxicity, which can reduce the side effects like uncontrolled cell death in dark condition. To explain this result, we will discuss the ROS-mediated crosslinked proteins and redox-sensitive protein expression levels which can lead cancer cells to apoptosis.
