Descripción : | Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) with methyl-aminolevulinate (MAL-PDT) is beingused for the treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), although resistant cells may appear.Normal differentiatedcells depend primarily on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)to generate energy, but cancer cells switch this metabolism to aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect),influencing the response to therapies. We have analyzed the expression of metabolic markers(β-F1-ATPase/GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) ratio, pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2), oxygen consume ratio, and lactate extracellular production) in the resistance to PDT ofmouse BCC cell lines (named ASZ and CSZ, heterozygous forptch1). We have also evaluated theability of metformin (Metf), an antidiabetic type II compound that acts through inhibition of theAMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway to sensitizeresistant cells to PDT. The results obtained indicated that resistant cells showed an aerobic glycolysismetabolism. The treatment with Metf induced arrest in the G0/G1 phase and a reduction in the lactateextracellular production in all cell lines. The addition of Metf to MAL-PDT improved the cytotoxiceffect on parental and resistant cells, which was not dependent on the PS protoporphyrin IX (PpIX)production. After Metf+MAL-PDT treatment, activation of pAMPK was detected, suppressing themTOR pathway in most of the cells. Enhanced PDT-response with Metf was also observed in ASZtumors. In conclusion, Metf increased the response to MAL-PDT in murine BCC cells resistant toPDT with aerobic glycolysis. |
