Water-soluble porphyrins are considered promising drug candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT). This study investigated the PDT activity of a new water-soluble, anionic porphyrin (1-Zn), which possesses four negative charges. The photodynamic anticancer activity of1-Znwas investigated by the MTT assay, with mTHPC as a positive control. The cellular distribution was determined by fluorescence microscopy. Holographic and phase contrast images were recorded after1-Zntreatment with a HoloMonitor™ M3 instrument. The inhibition of A549 cell growth achieved by inducing apoptosis was investigated by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. DNA damage was investigated by the comet assay. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was also measured by western blot assays.1-Znhad better phototoxicity against A549 cells than HeLa and HepG2 cancer cells. Interestingly,1-Znwas clearly located almost entirely in the cell cytoplasmic region/organelles. The late apoptotic population was less than 1.0% at baseline in the untreated and only light-treated cells and increased to 40.5% after1-Zntreatment and irradiation (P < 0.05).1-Zntriggered significant ROS generation after irradiation, causing ΔΨm disruption (P < 0.01) and DNA damage.1-Zninduced A549 cell apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. In addition,1-Znbound in the groove of DNA via an outside binding mode by pi-pi stacking and hydrogen bonding.1-Znexhibits good photonuclease activity and might serve as a potential photosensitizer (PS) for lung cancer cells.
