Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an important strategy for cancer therapy. Conventional vascular-targeted PDT has been achieved by passive photosensitizer (PS) delivery, which involves a high risk of adverse effects. Active PS delivery is urgently required for vascular-targeted PDT. Although endothelial cells and pericytes are major cellular components of tumor blood vessels, little attention has been paid to pericyte-targeted PDT for cancer therapy. PDGFR beta is abundantly expressed in the pericytes of various tumors. In this experiment, a dimeric Z(PDGFR beta) affibody with a 0.9 nM affinity for PDGFR beta was produced. The Z(PDGFR beta) affibody showed PDGFR beta-dependent pericyte binding. Intravenously injected Z(PDGFR beta) affibody was predominantly distributed on pericytes and thus accumulated in LS174T tumor grafts. The conjugate of the Z(PDGFR beta) affibody and IR700 dye, i.e. Z(IR700), bound to PDGFR beta(+) pericytes but not to PDGFR beta(-) LS174T tumor cells. Accordingly, Z(IR700)-mediated PDT in vitro induced the death of pericytes but not of LS174T tumor cells. In mice bearing LS174T tumor grafts, Z(IR700)-mediated PDT damaged tumor blood vessels, thus inducing tumor destruction by intensifying tissue hypoxia. The average mass of tumor grafts administered with Z(IR700)-mediated PDT was approximately 20-30% of that of the control, indicating that pericyte-targeted PDT is efficient for cancer therapy. In addition, Z(IR700)-mediated PDT increased the tumor uptake of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) injected post-illumination. Consequently, combination therapy of Z(IR700)-mediated PDT and TRAIL showed greater tumor suppression than Z(IR700)-mediated PDT- or TRAIL-based monotherapy. These results demonstrated that active vascular-targeted PDT could be achieved by using Z(PDGFR beta) affibody-directed delivery of PS.
