ABSTRACT
We studied the possibility of increasing the efficiency of photodynamic therapy by improving delivery of photosensitizers chlorin e6 into tumor cells. Previous studies showed that incorporation of chlorin e6 onto phospholipid nanoparticles with a diameter <20 nm reduces its cytotoxicity due to accelerated elimination from organs [8]. A heptapeptide R7 synthesized and added to this combination promoted internalization of chlorin e6 into HepG2 cells in comparison with initial nanoparticles without peptide R7. The observed effect of peptide R7 can be explained by activation of endocytosis and/or macropinocytosis (bearing in mind the interaction of arginine with carboxyl groups of e6. The development of this transporting system is a promising trend in photodynamic therapy of cancer diseases.
