Light-controlled oxygen production and collection for sustainable photodynamic therapy in tumor hypoxia
Abstract
Hypoxia exists in most malignant tumors and often contributes to therapy resistance, especially for aerobic treatments such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy. Here, we developed a novel light-controlled sustainable PDT in which light was used to help photosynthetic microorganisms (Chlorella) produce oxygen, and perfluorocarbon was used to enrich oxygen around the photosensitizer for sustained oxygen supply. After light stops, Chlorella further acts as an adjuvant to promote dendritic cell (DC) activation, promoting the antitumor immune response. We showed that sustainable PDT could continuously provide oxygen for photosensitizers and avoid PDT-induced local hypoxia. More importantly, sustainable PDT also promoted the activation of DCs and amplified the antitumor immune effects. Therefore, this novel strategy provides an effective but simple method for improving PDT in both tumor hypoxia and normoxia, and enhancing the antitumor immunity may be a new anti-resistance strategy for treating patients with advanced-stage cancer.

“Wang et al. [131] reported a way that O2 was supplied for PDT: O2 was photosynthetically produced by a Chlorella sp. strain (reaching 500 µM in a short time) and the excess was collected by perfluorocarbon (PFC) and used to the greatest extent, enhancing the therapeutic effect of PDT.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
