Enhancement of PDT-cytotoxicity via ROS induced by indomethacin in metastatic breast cancer

    Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancers prevalent in women. Several types of breast cancers can easily metastasize to bone and cause disease complications such as hypercalcemia and pathologic fracture, thus compromising the quality of life of people affected by it. Bisphosphonate drugs are often used for the treatment of bone metastasis to suppress osteoclastic bone resorption. However, bisphosphonate has adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys and also induces osteonecrosis of the jaw. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative cancer treatment approach with minimal invasiveness. It is a combination treatment that uses photosensitizers, which accumulate in tumor cells, followed by laser irradiation. We previously reported that the cellular incorporation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), which was a precursor of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), was regulated by reactive oxygen species derived from mitochondria (mitROS). In this study, we investigated the incorporation of 5-ALA, accumulation of PpIX, and subsequent effects on cell viability after laser irradiation of two different breast cancer cell lines with different metastaticites. The highly metastatic breast cancer cell line 4T1E/M3 showed a significant increase in ROS production after treatment with indomethacin (IND). In addition, IND treatment enhanced the cellular uptake of 5-ALA via PEPT1 upregulation in 4T1E/M3, but not in the non-metastatic cell line. Overall, metastatic breast cancer is likely to be sensitive to ROS and activate signaling pathways associated with 5-ALA transportation, suggesting that ALA-PDT could be an effective treatment with low invasiveness for metastatic breast cancer.
