Abstract
Cancers, a large and heterogeneous group of malignancies, are becoming an increasingly important cause of premature mortality worldwide. 2% of these are primary CNS tumors, of which 24% are gliomas. These tumors are diverse, but what they have in common is one of the most unfavorable prognoses among all cancers. A patient's future varies depending on the grade of the diagnosed glioma. To date, however, no standard treatment for grade IV has been established. All glioblastomas eventually undergo progression or recurrence. The current standard of treatment, which includes surgical intervention, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, is therefore far from sufficient. Work is constantly underway to discover a new, effective form of glioma therapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be one of them. It involves the local or systemic application of a photosensitive compound - a photosensitizer (PS), which accumulates in the affected tissues. Photosensitizer molecules absorb light of the appropriate wavelength, initiating activation processes leading to the formation of reactive oxygen species and selective destruction of inappropriate cells. Currently, this method has been approved for the treatment of several cancers. Research focusing on the effective use of PDT in glioma therapy is already underway, with promising results. In our work, we present molecular insights into PDT of glioma. Based on the available literature, we analyze and systematize the impact of various molecules, proteins, transporters and transmitters on the efficacy of PDT and the effect of PDT on their expression. In addition, we highlight gaps in current knowledge and point out directions for future research that may contribute to the efficacy of PDT glioma.

1. Introduction

Cancers, a large and heterogeneous group of malignancies, are becoming an increasingly important cause of premature mortality worldwide [1,2]. Although primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) account for only 2% of all primary cancers, they cause 7% of cancer deaths in people under 70 years of age [3,4]. Gliomas account for 24% of all primary brain and CNS tumors [4]. These tumors are diverse in terms of cellular origin, genetic profile and morphology, but together have one of the most dismal prognoses of all cancers [5]. These tumors are diverse in terms of cellular origin, genetic profile and morphology, but together have one of the most dismal prognoses of all cancers [6]. However, there is no standard treatment for stage IV. All glioblastomas eventually progress or recur [7]. The current standard of therapy, which includes surgical intervention, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, is therefore far from sufficient [8]. Work is still underway to discover a new, effective form of glioma therapy [9,10]. One of them may be photodynamic therapy (PDT) [11]. It involves the topical or systemic application of a photosensitive compound, a photosensitizer (PS), which accumulates in the affected tissues. Photosensitizer molecules absorb light of the appropriate wavelength, initiating activation processes leading to the formation of reactive oxygen species and selective destruction of inappropriate cells [12]. Currently, this method has been approved for the treatment of head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, it is widely used in dermatology to combat precancerous and cancerous lesions [13]. Research focusing on the effective use of PDT in glioma therapy is already underway with promising results [14]. In our work, we present molecular insights into PDT of glioma. Based on the available literature, we analyze and systematize the influence of various molecules, proteins, transporters and transmitters on the efficacy of PDT and the effect of PDT on their expression. In addition, we highlight gaps in current knowledge and point out directions for future research that may contribute to the efficacy of PDT glioma.

2. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)-Binding Cassette Efflux Transporter G2

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette efflux transporter G2 plays a central role in the efflux of various molecules from cells, providing protection against the adverse effects of xenobiotics [15]. Observations by Morgan et al. indicate that cells with ABCG2 overexpression are found only in a small group of U87 glioma side population (SP) cells, which also harbor resistant stem cells and may be a source of future tumor growth [16]. The involvement of ABCG2 in the response to PDT is not clear, and there are conflicting findings. Some reports indicate that glioma cells with high ABCG2 expression accumulate less photosensitizer, so ABCG2 may be responsible for the poor response to PDT [17,18]. In this work, the effect of PDT alone, and combined with the ABCG2 inhibitors KO143 and its anaologue fumitremorgin C, at concentrations of 1.5 μM and 5 µM, respectively, were compared. However, Weidner et al. demonstrate that KO143 at concentrations ≥1 μM also affects the transport activity of both ABCB1 and ABCC1, which may have influenced the outcome of these studies [19]. Wang et al. showed that the use of reserpine and verapamil, inhibitors of ABCG2, did not result in increased accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in both SP and non-SP cells. However, this may be due to their affinity for ABCB6 resulting in decreased synthesis of PpIX [20]. On the other hand, Abdel Gaber et al. restored PS Chlorin e6 (Ce6) accumulation using an anti-ABCG2 antibody, which would indicate a key role for this transporter in the removal of PS [21]. The presence of ABCG2 alone does not indicate that glioma cells are resistant to PDT. The work of Hamid et al. achieved PDT efficacy despite 6-fold reduced PS photolon accumulation [22]. Regardless of the exact role of ABCG2, improving the phototoxicity of cells with expression of this transporter is possible through several approaches. Some work indicates that ABCG2 saturation and improved PDT efficacy is provided by increasing light doses and PS [16,17]. Another of the strategies to solve this problem could be to use PSs that are not substrates for ABCG2, as demonstrated by Selbo et al. [23]. Another approach is to use ABCG2 inhibitors. Because of their ability to inhibit this transporter, clinically approved kinase inhibitors have been tested for this purpose. The results achieved vary depending on the inhibitor used. PDT with PS 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) in combination with imatinib was characterized by such high phototoxicity that the number of surviving SP cells was too small to measure [16]. Gefitinib, acting by reducing mRNA and plasma membrane protein ABCG2 expression, increased intracellular PpIX levels in a dose-dependent manner [24]. Lapatinib, also increased ALA-PpIX fluorescence in a dose-dependent manner, but was about 15% less effective than the KO143 inhibitor [25]. A similar effect was obtained using sorafenib, but after its use, Ce6 levels also failed to reach those achieved by KO143 or the anti-ABCG2 5D3 antibody [21]. However, kinase inhibitors do not selectively block ABCG2, so they may also increase the effectiveness of PDT by affecting other targets.

3. Glutathione

Acting as an antioxidant, glutathione (GSH) promotes tumor progression, and elevated levels correlate with temozolomide resistance and increased glioma metastasis [26,27]. High levels of intracellular GSH are also observed in PDT-resistant cells [28]. To address this issue and improve the efficacy of PDT, the blocker of reduced GSH synthesis, buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), was tested. Overnight treatment with 100 μM BSO followed by 4 hours of coincubation with ALA resulted in a nearly 100% reduction in intracellular GSH of the T98G and U87 lines [29]. However, lowering GSH did not always result in increased PDT efficacy. In the above study, a significant improvement in ALA-PDT efficacy was achieved only in the T98G line, reducing cell survival from 70 to 18% [29]. On the other hand, Jiang et al. report that BSO already at the lowest dose used (0.225 μM) significantly increased Photofrin-PDT (Ph-PDT) activity in U87 and U251n lines in vitro after 24-hour coincubation, and this effect was dose-dependent. BSO also potentiated the effect of Ph-PDT in U87 cells in vivo [30]. Thus, the data are disparate, and the different PS used, BSO dose, incubation time, and the fact that BSO itself exhibits cytotoxic activity make it difficult to interpret these differences and point to the need for further research [31]. However, the presence of GSH in glioma cells can also be used to improve the effect of PDT. Hwang et al. engineered PS ubiquinone-BODIPY, whose reduction by intracellular glutathione results in increased generation of singlet oxygen [32]. GSH also enables PS and chemotherapeutic agent release, which is being taken into account in the design of new nanoparticles [33,34,35].

4. Ferrochelatase

Ferrochelatase (FECH) is an enzyme that converts photochemically active PpIX into photochemically inactive heme by incorporating ferrous iron [36]. High expression and activity of this enzyme has been linked to glioma cell resistance to ALA-PDT [29,37]. Moreover, hypoxia was found to cause increased ferrochelatase gene expression in glioblastoma stem cells, which may further contribute to ALA-PDT resistance [38]. Therefore, iron chelation represents an attractive target that can enhance the efficacy of ALA-PDT. Reburn et al. synthesized an ester between ALA and the hydroxypyridinone iron chelating agent CP94 and observed significant enhanced effects on both PpIX accumulation and PDT cytotoxicity in glioma cells [39]. Also, coincubation of CP94 with ALA, methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) and hexyl aminolevulinate (HAL) increased PpIX accumulation. Blake et al. compared these results with coincubation with dexrazosan, a clinically approved iron chelating prodrug, and found that it had less efficacy than CP94 [40,41]. Another approved compound tested for this purpose is deferoxamine (DFO), but data on its efficacy are conflicting. A paper by Wang et al. showed that it effectively increased PpIX accumulation in glioma lateral population stem cells [20]. On the other hand, Mansi et al. found that the addition of DFO led to only a slight increase in PpIX fluorescence in all glioma cell lines, significantly reducing the viability of only A172 cells [25]. It is difficult to determine the reason for this difference. The incubation time was identical in both studies at 4 hours. A lower concentration of DFO (100 µM) was used in the first study than in the second (1 mM), and yet DFO was found to be effective. Different cell lines were used in both works. This may have played a role in the discrepancy, as Teng et al. showed that ferrochelatase levels were lowest in the U87 line and therefore did not use them to try to silence the enzyme [42]. However, this was the only common line also used by Mansi et al. In their work, the FECH activity measured in U87 cells was lower than in H4 cells, but despite this, no significant differences in fluorescence were observed after DFO treatment [25]. On the other hand, Blake et al. used the U-87 line and, as mentioned above, successfully inhibited FECH, but using compounds other than DFO [40]. The role of DFO in inhibiting glioma cell ferrochelatase is therefore unclear and requires further clarification.

5. Heme Oxygenase 1

Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of the heme group to form biliverdin, it also generates carbon monoxide and ferrous iron as reaction products. HO and its reaction products have protective effects against oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory and signaling effects [43]. Observations by Wang et al. indicate that cells of the lateral population of glioma show significantly higher expression of HO-1. Moreover, the expression of this enzyme is much higher in WHO grade IV GBM. Higher levels of HO-1 expression may accelerate the PpIX/hem metabolic pathway, leading to poor ALA-mediated PpIX accumulation and a low response to ALA-PDT [20]. The expression of heme oxygenase 1 increases significantly after both ALA administration alone and subsequent irradiation [20,29]. The reduction of HO-1 activity may therefore contribute to the efficacy of glioma therapy. Mastrangelopoulou et al. observed, however, that the synergistic effect of ALA PDT and the HO-1 inhibitor OB24 was observed only in T98G cells preincubated overnight. They did not find it in other cell lines, nor during hourly preincubation [29]. Since HO-1 inducibility can also occur in response to activation of growth factor receptor signal transduction pathways, including extracellular signal-regulated kinases ERK1 and ERK2, c-jun-NH2 kinase, and p38 kinase, in order to further reduce the negative effects of HO-1 on the efficacy of ALA-PDT glioma, it seems attractive to test molecules that affect these pathways [44,45,46].

6. Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 α

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 α (HIF-1α) is a transcription factor that activates multiple glioma survival signaling pathways [47,48]. Its level is increased by an oxygen concentration of about 2.5% to 10%, found in most glioblastoma multiforme [49]. It has been observed that HIF-1 α expression increases after PDT in many cancers [50,51,52]. In the case of glioma, it increases with time since PDT application [53]. Moreover, sublethal PDT induces an increase in HIF-1α expression in healthy brain tissue as well, stimulating expression of the ADAM17-EGFR-PI3K-Akt pathway and increasing the invasion of subsequently implanted glioma cells [54,55]. HIF-1α may be responsible for PDT resistance in several types of cancer [56,57]. Thus, it can be speculated that there is a mechanism whereby glioma cells attenuate the PDT response through increased HIF-1α levels, and PDT further exacerbates this effect through additional induction of this factor induced by oxygen consumption, possibly ultimately leading to tumor proliferation, metastasis and invasion. Work on solving this problem is still ongoing [58]. There is a report indicating that selecting the optimal therapeutic regimen may not negatively affect HIF-1α expression. Li et al. showed that PDT with PS hematoprophyrin monomethyl ether (HMME-PDT) incubated 2 h in the dark with glioma cells and irradiated for 60 s with a 0.75 J/cm2 laser led to a decrease in the level of HIF-1α [59]. Another solution, is to use a molecule that does not induce an increase in HIF-1α levels. This was achieved by Xu et al. but the active photodynamic phthalocyanine-based molecular beacon they developed increased VEGF expression [60]. A third approach may be the association of PDT with agents that reduce HIF-1α expression. A liposome composed of the HIF-1α inhibitor vitexin and PS indocyanine green (IG) showed potent inhibition of tumor cells and suppression of their migration in a dose-dependent manner [61]. Association of Acriflavin, an inhibitor of HIF-1α/HIF-1β dimerization, with ALA-PDT reduced the expression of HIF-1α, GLUT-1, GLUT-3, and HK2, improved the efficacy of treatment of refractory GBM, and reduced tumor cell invasion and migration [62]. Molecules that do not directly target this transcription factor can also lead to HIF-1α downregulation. Association of PDT with endostar, a recombinant human endostatin, led to prolonged survival of U251 glioma mice, significantly reducing the expression of both VEGF-A and HIF-1α [53]. Since HIF-1α is induced by hypoxia, an entirely different strategy is to develop nanoparticles that reduce the problem of hypoxia, which advanced work on with favorable results is still underway [63,64,65,66].

7. Histone Deacetylases

Histone deacetylases (HDACs), are a group of enzymes that catalyze the acetylation of histones. They are involved in many processes, such as cancer cell growth and proliferation [67]. There are several different classes of HDACs, the expression of which, depending on the class, is increased or decreased in the glioma [68]. PDT affects the expression and activity of HDACs. Single reports show an increase in HDACs activity in A375 melanoma cells and healthy brain tissue [69,70]. Work is already underway to develop optimal inhibitors of HDACs; however, clinical trials have shown that they are currently ineffective in the treatment of GBM [71]. One of the inhibitors being tested is sodium butyrate (NaB). It has been shown that it can induce apoptosis, inhibit VEGF expression and stimulate medulloblastoma differentiation [72,73,74]. Association of sodium butyrte with ALA-PDT increased U373-MG and D54-MG astrocytoma cell deaths by 67.8% and 53.95%, respectively, relative to ALA-PDT alone [75]. Modified chromatin and NaB-induced genes are responsible for this effect [76]. A different approach was used by Wei et al. using HDAC6 to selectively activate their engineered molecule and enhance the effect of PDT [77]. In conclusion, the lack of knowledge about HDACs and PDT in the glioma is considerable, but available work points to the potential use of these molecules and their inhibitors to improve the efficacy of PDT of the glioma.

8. Protein Kinase C

Histone Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine/threonine-specific protein kinases [78]. PKC activity was found to be increased in gliomas compared to astrocytes [79,80]. PKCs play a diverse role in glioma development, as the contribution of each PKC isoform depends on the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues, the presence of oncogenic mutations, the type of stimuli and the cellular environment [78]. Previous work has shown that PDT affects the PKC activity of glioma cells, both through the action of PS alone and subsequent irradiation. Huntusova et al. report that hypericin interacts directly with PKCα and increases PKCδ autophosphorylation in the glomus [81]. This issue needs clarification, as there are reports indicating that hypericin can inhibit PKC in other cells [82]. Data on the effects of PDT on PKC in the glioma are limited. Uzdensky et al. demonstrate, that sublethal ALA-PDT induces an increase in PKCγ and PKCβ [83]. The effect of PDT on PKC is confirmed by the work of Dzurov et al. who showed that Hypericin-PDT (Hyp-PDT) caused activation of PKCα [84]. On the other hand, Pevna et al. achieved a decrease in PKCα levels by Hyp-PDT [85]. Since both Dzurova et al. and Pevna et al. used U87, Hyp cells at a concentration of 500 nM, but different light doses (4 J/cm2 and 2 J/cm2, respectively), the light dose may be crucial for PKCα regulation in glioma. Given the involvement of PKCα and PKCβ in the survival, proliferation and migration of glioma cells, the potential possibility of their regulation by an appropriately selected light dose seems particularly attractive [78]. An approach being tested to improve the efficacy of glioma PDT is association with PKC inhibitors. Tamoxifen at a dose of 500 μg/ml and higher was shown to significantly increase the toxicity of the Ph-PDT response [86]. Work on using tamoxifen for this purpose is particularly promising, as it has shown potential in treating glioma [87,88]. Pretreatment of glioma cells with rottlerin before Hyp-PDT led to a significant increase in apoptosis [89]. However, recent work has challenged previous findings, the main function of rottlerin as a PKCδ inhibitor [90,91,92]. A completely different approach is the association of photobiomodulation with PDT. It was shown that photobiomodulation performed before Hyp-PDT with 500 nM Hyp led to a greater decrease in PKCα than Hyp-PDT alone [85]. In conclusion, PKC targeting may be an attractive form of improving the effectiveness of PDT, but there is still much to be clarified.

9. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a trans-membrane glycoprotein and belongs to the tyrosine kinase receptor superfamily [93]. High EGFR levels contribute to glioma development, progression and resistance in both kinase-dependent and -independent ways [94,95]. The exact effect of EGFR on the efficacy of glioma PDT has not yet been thoroughly investigated, however, available work suggests that EGFR may contribute to PDT resistance. It has been shown that Ph-PDT can induce the ADAM17-EGFR-PI3K-Akt pathway in healthy brain tissue, leading to an increase in EGFR in both healthy cells and subsequently implanted glioma cells, significantly increasing U87 cell invasion in nude mice [55]. The effect of EGF, an EGFR ligand, is also unexplained. Fanuel Barret et al. showed that it had no effect on PS haematoporphyrin derivative (HPD)-induced and laser-induced toxicity when added to cells before PDT, but added after it attenuated the cellular response to PDT [96]. Data on the direct effect of PDT on EGFR expression by glioma cells are inconclusive and disparate. Fanuel Barret et al. showed that incubation with PS HPD and subsequent laser irradiation had no effect on the increase of EGFR in T98G and U87 cells, but resulted in its increase in the C6 line [96]. On the other hand, in the work of Yang et al. incubation of T98G cells with PS Photofrin led to a decrease in EGFR levels [97]. It seems to be an interesting direction for future work to test the effect of ALA-PDT on EGFR expression by glioma cells, as testing other cancer cells has shown that it can lead to a reduction in EGFR levels [98]. Given the important involvement of EGFR in cancer pathogenesis, attempts to combine PDT with EGFR-targeting molecules are currently attracting considerable interest [99]. For glioma, the focus was on combining PDT with clinically accepted EGFR inhibitors. Erlotinib improved the selectivity of PpIX accumulation, as it increased PpIX synthesis in glioma cell lines, while not affecting PpIX synthesis in neuronal and astrocytic lines [100]. The association of lapatinib with ALA-PDT led to a significant increase in PpIX accumulation in glioma cells and induced stronger responses of two human glioma tumors in vivo, leading to increased survival in rats compared with lapatinib alone and PDT alone [101]. However, it should be emphasized that none of the EGFR-targeted therapies have shown promising results in clinical trials in patients with glioma, so these positive results of the work on the combination of PDT with EGFR inhibitors should be treated with caution and need to be confirmed clinically [102]. EGFR and EGF have also been successfully used as targets to improve PS delivery to glioma cells [103,104].

10. Fibroblast Growth Factors

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are mitogens that regulate a wide range of cellular functions, including migration, proliferation, differentiation and survival [105]. Their receptors (FGFR) are overexpressed and mutated in many types of cancer [106]. High levels of FGF1 and FGF2 o in glioma tissue contribute to angiogenesis, growth, invasion and resistance to treatment of this cancer [106,107]. High levels of FGF1 and FGF2 o in glioma tissue contribute to angiogenesis, growth, invasion and resistance to treatment of this cancer [108,109]. There are isolated papers describing the relationship between glioma, FGF and PDT efficacy. Vilchez et al. showed that glioma cells resistant to PDT with methyl-5-aminolevulinic acid PS expressed higher mRNA levels of the fibroblastic growth factor receptor (FGFR), but this was not the only receptor up-regulated [110]. However, it does not appear that FGF2 alone is crucial to the efficacy of ALA-PDT, as FGF2 added to U-105MG glioma cells did not have a stimulating or inhibitory effect on final treatment outcomes [111]. However, this was an in vitro study, and since FGF2 induces angiogenesis by activating endothelial cell proliferation and migration, the exact effect would need to be studied in vivo [106]. A new strategy leading to, among other things, downregulation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor and increased apoptosis was developed by Chakrabarti et al. by associating Ph-PDT with transfection of miR-99a [112]. Some of the selective FGF/FGFR inhibitors have already been approved for therapy, and testing them in combination with PDT could be an interesting direction to potentially increase the efficacy of PDT and help further clarify the relationship between PDT, FGF/FGFR and glioma [113].

11. Hepatocyte Growth Factor

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), also called scatter factor, along with its receptor tyrosine kinase c-Met, are key determinants of brain tumor growth and angiogenesis [114]. HGF can affect tumor progression through various mechanisms, including modulating cell growth, migration and chemo-resistance to drugs [115]. There is one paper describing the effect of PDT on HGF. The study by Vogel et al. showed that ALA-PDT induced HGF expression in glioblastoma spheroids and thus stimulated migration of mesenchymal stem cells into the tumor. Moreover, they conclude that both the increase in HGF expression and MSC migration after PDT can have positive and negative effects on the ultimate efficacy of therapy [116]. Development and effective use of HGF inhibitor already underway [117].

12. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most important mediator of angiogenesis in glioma [118]. The formation of abnormal tumor vascularization is one of the main factors responsible for the resistance of these tumors to treatment, and VEGF levels in glioma patients are higher than in healthy individuals [119,120]. Therefore, an increase in VEGF is particularly undesirable [120]. The effect of PDT on VEGF levels is adverse. The ability of PDT to induce VEGF expression in both tumor and healthy brain tissue in a dose-dependent manner of the light used is well documented in the literature [60,121,122,123,124,125,126]. A key approach to improving the efficacy of glioma PDT may therefore be to inhibit VEGF expression or block the adverse effects of its receptor. Combined treatment with Ce6-PDT and the humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody bevacizumab prolonged the mean survival time of mice relative to PDT alone [127]. The association of Ph-PDT with anti-VEGFR-1 and anti-VEGFR-2 monoclonal antibodies reduced tumorigenesis more and prolonged mouse survival relative to PDT alone. Moreover, it also led to a significant reduction in the expression of both VEGF and von Willebrand Factor [128]. The association of PDT with endostatin, an endogenous VGFR-inhibiting angiogenesis inhibitor, seems to be an interesting approach. It was previously observed that PDT with PS Hypocrellin-A and -B induces VEGF and endostatin release in glioma cells, while reducing endostatin release in endothelial cells, and it has been shown that the predominance of VEGF over endostatin observed early after PDT, may contribute to enhanced angiogenesis [121,129]. This approach was tested by Zhan et al.. By associating endostatin with HMME-PDT, they enhanced the effects of PDT, leading to greater tumor shrinkage, prolonged mouse survival, and decreased expression of HIF-1α and VEGF-A [53]. However, the status of endostatin as an effective inhibitor of angiogenesis is debatable [130]. Important to the efficacy of VEGF-blocking treatment and PDT is the timing of administration of the inhibitor, as it has been shown that, when administered before PDT, it can reduce PS levels and blunt the effects of PDT [131]. However, it should be noted that the results of clinical trials of antiangiogenic drugs in patients with malignant gliomas have been generally disappointing [132]. Thus, a combination therapy with bevacizumab appears to be a particularly promising direction for future research, as its use has previously been shown to benefit patients with recurrent glioblastoma [132].

13. Neuropilin-1

Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) is a transmembrane protein involved in glioma proliferation, invasion and migration, as well as tumor angiogenesis [133]. This molecule is overexpressed in the glioma [134,135]. NRP1 expression has been shown to be correlated with poor prognosis, glioma grade and associated with mesenchymal tumor subtype [136]. Previous work has shown that the association of PS with NRP-1-targeting molecules promotes the vascular effect of PDT, ultimately resulting in reduced tumor blood flow and delayed tumor growth [137,138,139,140,141,142]. This coupling has a higher efficiency than the PS itself [143]. Neuropilin-1 has also been successfully used as a target to improve PS delivery to glioma cells [144].

14. Vascular Cell Adhesion Protein 1

Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1, CD106) is a glycoprotein involved in angiogenesis and cancer metastasis [145]. VCAM-1 is highly expressed in both gliomas and surrounding normal brain tissue [146,147]. It has been shown that PDT can induce an increase in VCAM-1 levels in the glioma [148]. However, the available data on the effects of PDT on VCAM-1 expression in tumors are conflicting, so this issue requires additional clarification [149,150]. Due to its functions and the high expression of VCAM-1 in the glioma, targeting this molecule may be a strategy to increase the effectiveness of therapy. Zhan et al. showed that the combination of HMME-PDT with a monoclonal antibody against VCAM-1 induced apoptosis and prolonged mouse survival more than PDT alone [148].

15. Integrins

Integrins (INTs) are a large family of molecules and receptors on the cell surface, consisting of 18 α subunits and 8 β subunits, enabling the formation of 24 unique INTs [151]. They are important surface adhesion receptors that mediate interactions between the extracellular matrix and cells and are essential for cell migration and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Abnormal activation of integrins promotes the initial formation, growth and metastasis of tumors [152]. INTs are among the major contributors to the invasive glioma phenotype, particularly abnormal expression of β1 subunit, α3β1 integrin, αvβ3, αvβ5 integrin [153]. The beneficial effects of PDT on integrin levels in tumors have already been fairly well studied [154]. A similar effect of PDT was demonstrated in the glioma. The administration of PS alone could reduce the level of integrin α3β1 in the glioma, and subsequent irradiation exacerbated this effect depending on the light dose, the PS applied, and the glioma cell line [155]. These observations are consistent with those of other cancers [154,156]. Integrins can also be used as useful targets to improve PS delivery and hit nanoparticles (NP) [144,157].

16. Matrix Metalloproteinases

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the remodeling of the extracellular matrix [158]. They play a key role in the mechanisms of glioma invasion, and increased expression of some of them has been linked to poor prognosis and glioma recurrence [159,160]. PDT leads to decreased expression of MMPs (-2, -7, -8, -9) glioma and cell migration, which is well documented in the literature and consistent with observations from other cancers [155,161,162,163,164,165,166]. It has been shown that the association of MMP inhibitors with PDT can potentially enhance the clinical effect of PDT, so an interesting direction for future work seems to be the association of PDT with MMP inhibitors tested in glioma [167,168].

17. Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), is an intermediate filament protein occurring in several isoforms, characteristic of astrocytes and neural stem cells and their malignant analogs in glioma [169,170]. The role of GFAP in development in glioma aggressiveness is complex. Cells with a high GFAPδ/α ratio can be highly malignant and more invasive [171]. Moreover, deprivation of any of these isoforms has also been shown to increase the migratory capacity of glioma cells [172]. The effect of PDT on GFAP expression has not yet been precisely established. Namatame et al., reported that PDT with PS talaporfin sodium decreased GFAP expression leading to disappearance of GFAP expression [173]. However, it is difficult to assess the effect of GFAP knockdown on the efficacy of PDT. On the one hand, this effect in the long term may be unfavorable, as GFAP-negative cells have been shown to have a higher average number of nucleolar organizer regions (Ag-NOR), an increase of which has been linked in a couple of papers to a worse prognosis in several cancers, including gliomas [174,175,176,177]. On the other hand, however, there are no reports on the effect of PDT on Ag-NOR, so it is difficult to infer whether a decrease in GFAP by PDT can lead to an increase in Ag-NOR. For obvious reasons, this inference also does not take into account the percentage of GFAP-negative cell death after PDT. Namatame et al. also did not determine the dynamics of changes between GFAP isoforms, which may be crucial in determining the benefit of PDT in this regard [171].

18. Na+ /H+ Exchanger Isoform 1

Na/H exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a membrane Na+/H+ exchanger that maintains the alkaline intracellular pH of glioma cells and the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) [178,179]. NHE-1 is highly expressed in both glioma cells and tumor-associated microglia cells and macrophages [179,180]. Its activity increases proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cells and contributes to TME immunosuppression and treatment resistance [179,180,181]. The relationship between PDT, NHE1, and glioma has been little studied to date. It has been established that NHE1 can attenuate the PDT effect of glioma through increased extrusion of H+ [182]. It has been shown that ALA-PDT and HMME-PDT can reduce NHE-1 levels, and this effect is enhanced by associating them with dihydroartemisinin and temozolomide, respectively [182,183]. However, it should be noted that HIF-1α-dependent NHE1 expression is induced by hypoxia, so this issue needs further clarification [184]. An interesting, as yet unexplored approach appears to be the association of PDT with the NHE1 inhibitor 5-benzylglycinyl-amiloride, which has shown anti-tumor activity in glioma [185].

19. Nuclear Factor kB

Nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) comprises a family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of a wide variety of biological responses. NF-kB plays a well-known function in the regulation of the immune response and inflammation, as well as regulating the expression of genes involved in many key processes of oncogenesis [186]. One of the cancers whose NF-kB hyperactivation can promote development, progression and resistance to therapy is glioma [187,188]. NF-kB may have both positive and negative effects on the efficacy of PDT of glioma, however, this issue is not completely clarified. NF-kB has been shown to have pro-apoptotic and anti-necrotic effects after PDT [189]. However, earlier work on other cancers suggested both anti-apoptotic and anti-necrotic effects of NF-kB [190]. Thus, this issue requires further clarification. Moreover, PDT-induced NF-kB can also increase the migration of glioma cells [191]. On the other hand, NF-kB activation is important for the activation of the anti-tumor immune response by PDT [190]. PDT is not indifferent to NF-kB expression, either directly in the glioma or in other tissues. It has been shown that ALA-PDT can lead to both down-regulation of NF-kB and enhanced its activation in glioma cells [189,192,193]. Moreover, low-dose PDT with PS Porfimer sodium induces NF-kB of TNF-a/NF-kB pathway in cerebral vascular endothelial cells, and impairment of their function [194]. This effect may be important for the effectiveness of delivering other therapeutics to the tumor after PDT. Arguably, then, the goal of PDT in terms of its effect on NF-kB should be to modify therapy in such a way as to achieve an optimal, not overly high or low level of NF-kB expression. To achieve this, it is possible to test strategies based on both the selection of an appropriate PDT therapeutic regimen and the association of PDT with NF-kB inhibitors. Coupienne et al. showed that the association of ALA-PDT with an NF-kB inhibitor improves glioma cell death [189]. Work on the development and use of an effective NF-kB inhibitor in the glioma is still ongoing, creating the potential to test new combinations [195,196].

20. Transporter Associated with Antigen Processing 1

Transporter associated with antigen processing 1 (TAP1) is a molecule involved in the processing and presentation of antigens restricted to the major class I tissue compatibility complex, including tumor-associated antigens [197]. TAP1 is involved in tumor immunity and is abnormally expressed in many types of cancer, including glioma, which may be less immunogenic due to low levels of TAP1 expression [198,199,200]. Since it has been shown that high TAP1 expression resulted in better patient response to anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapy in several cancers, increasing TAP1 expression presumably could be an attractive form of improving the hitherto unsatisfactory results of immune checkpoint blockade in glioma therapy [197,201]. The work of Zhang et al. showed that PDT may have this ability. They showed that HMME-PDT enables glioma cells to recover both the expression of functional TAP1 and the presentation of MHC class I surface antigens [202]. However, this is the only report in the field so far, so it needs to be confirmed in other works.

21. PD-L1/PD-1

The axis of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) plays an important role in inhibiting the host immune response against cancer cells [203]. Studies have shown that the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway plays a key role in glioma progression and the effectiveness of immunotherapy [204]. There is a dearth of work to date describing the effects of PDT on PD-1/PD-L1 expression in tumors, and the available results indicating that PDT can both block and enhance PD-1/PD-L1 axis activity are contradictory [205,206,207]. However, none of the papers cited used glioma cells for the study. Recently, the ability of PDT to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), activate a tumor-specific immune response, and induce a long-lasting and effective anti-tumor response has been of great interest [208,209,210]. Turubanova in et al. showed that repetitive PDT with PS photosens and photoditazine can achieve this goal [211]. Shibata et al. also induced ICD of glioma cells via liposomally formulated IG conjugated to phospholipids [212]. ICD is also desirable for glioma therapy and can improve the results of immune checkpoint blocker therapy [213,214]. The utility of the potential use of PDT for this purpose is confirmed by the work of Xu et al. They showed that the association of PS Ce6 with αPD-L1 resulted in greater infiltration of immune effector cells, and prolonged life of mice with orthotopic GL261 glioma than PDT or αPD-L1 alone [215]. PDT-induced ICD and downregulation of PD-1 and PD-L1 by deprivation of extracellular cholesterol in glioma TME also induced NP designed by Yin et al. [216]. The combination of PD-1/PD-L1 axis blocking method, PDT and dendritic cell (DC) therapy seems to be an interesting approach. The presence of PD-1 may adversely affect the efficacy of dendritic cells, which dysfunctionally limit antigen-specific T-cell responses in glioma [217,218]. Several works have shown that PDT of glioma with different PS can improve DC functionality [219,220,221,222]. Since anti-PD-1 treatment during DC maturation resulted in increased DC survival, the approach of combining PDT and a method that blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 axis could therefore be an attractive improvement on the hitherto suboptimal results of glioma dendritic cell therapy [217,223].

22. Nitric Oxide Synthase

Nitric oxide (NO), a free gas with numerous biological properties, at concentrations of 50-100 nM can promote glioma growth, neovascularization, immunosuppressive properties of TME and resistance to therapies [224,225]. NO is mainly produced by the oxidation of L-arginine by three isoforms of NO synthase: inducible (iNOS), neuronal (nNOS), and endothelial (eNOS) [226,227,228]. While nNOS is the main synthase in the central nervous system, iNOS is most often associated with cancers, including glioma [226,228,229]. This synthase has been shown to function as a critical regulator of glioma development and is essential for brain tumor stem cell proliferation and tumorigenesis, and its increased expression has been described as a hallmark of chemoresistance in gliomas [229,230]. iNOS also has a negative impact on the efficacy of glioma PDT, increasing resistance, survival and migration of surviving cells [191,231,232,233]. This effect is particularly important because it has been proven that in an NF-kB-dependent manner, PDT can increase iNOS levels in glioma cells by up to fourfold within 24 hours of therapy [231,232,233]. However, the effect of PDT on nNOS levels has not been demonstrated [231]. An investigated proposal to solve this problem is the association of PDT with iNOS inhibitors. It was shown that inhibition of iNOS activity closely matched the inhibition of glioma cell growth and invasion after PDT, and this effect was synergistic when the BET inhibitor (JQ1) was also used [232]. This approach is particularly attractive because in numerous papers, iNOS inhibitors have shown significant potential as treatment options for oncologic lesions and have had a safe toxicity profile in humans for other pathological conditions [234]. On the other hand, higher NO concentrations of >300 nM have been shown to induce a cytotoxic effect on cancer cells, so a potential solution to the adverse effects of PDT on NO synthesis could be the development of a PDT therapeutic regimen characterized by significantly increased NO production [224]. There is still a lack of data on the relationship between glioma PDT and eNOS, and given the importance of vascular effects in PDT efficacy, this issue needs clarification.

23. Glutamate

Glutamate (GLU) is an excitatory neurotransmitter (NS) that plays a central role in glioma malignancy [235,236]. It is produced and released from cells as a by-product of glutathione synthesis [235]. PDT can increase GLU levels. HpD-PDT has been shown to induce a sharp threefold increase in gluatminate levels that persisted for at least 16 hours [237]. GLU induces glioma malignancy through multiple mechanisms, including excitotoxicity to surrounding healthy neurons and paracrine and autocrine effects on glutamine receptors [235,236,238]. It was shown that HpD-PDT increased GluR1 and GluR2 AMPAR subunit expression, Ca2+ influx and apoptosis of C6 glioma cells [237,239]. This effect may be exacerbated by PDT-induced release of glutamate [237]. However, it should be emphasized that the aforementioned work was conducted in vitro, and therefore could not verify the adverse effects of PDT-increased glutamate concentrations on healthy brain tissue surrounding the tumor. This issue requires necessary clarification. Data on the effects of PDT on NMDA receptors are also lacking. GLU inhibitors tested in glioma could presumably be useful in regulating the effects of PDT on glutamate receptors [235].

24. Peripheral-Type Benzodiazepine Receptors

The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is a mitochondrial protein that is expressed at high levels in steroid-synthesizing tissues, including brain glial cells [240]. Basal PBR expression is up-regulated in gliomas [241,242]. It has been suggested that the relatively high binding density of peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptors is associated with increased tumorigenicity and rate of cell proliferation [243,244]. It is known that PDT is not indifferent to PBR expression in the glioma. Bisland et al. showed that ALA-PDT with low light levels increases PBR expression in a CNS-1 glioma model [245]. Regulation of PBR expression by PDT has implications for the efficacy of therapy, but there are few reports in this area. A study on mouse leukemia cells showed that the affinity of PpIX-configured PS for PBR can affect the efficacy of PDT [246]. ALA-PDT-induced increase in PBR facilitated increased production of PpIX and enhanced phototoxic effects against glioma cells [245]. The potential beneficial effect of the presence of PBR on the efficacy of glioma PDT was exploited by Sarissky et al. They tested the association of Hy-PDT with diazepam, a non-selective PBR ligand with established activity to inhibit glioma cell proliferation [247,248]. They showed that the combination enhanced cell apoptosis, but only of the U-87 line, with increased PBR expression relative to the U373MG line, which was resistant to the combination. However, they did not describe the effect of Hy-PDT on PBR expression levels [247]. Significantly, the association of diazepam with chemotherapeutics tested to date has resulted in both improved efficacy and reduced efficacy, and glioma cells with high nuclear PBR proliferate in response to PBR ligands [244,249,250]. Thus, further work is needed to precisely describe the relationships between PDT, the PS used and the light dose applied, PBR expression and the ultimate impact on the effectiveness of glioma therapy.

25. Neuropeptide Y Receptors

Neuropeptide Y receptors (NPYRs) are a group of several receptors (Y1R, Y2R and Y5R) that mediate the action of the multifunctional neurotransmitter neuropeptide Y. They are characterized by proliferative effects, but their role has not been completely elucidated [251]. NPYR expression in the glioma varies according to the type of this tumor. WHO grade IV gliomas are characterized by extremely high Y2R expression of the NPY receptor in both frequency and density; WHO grade I to III astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas also show high Y2R frequency but low density, and medulloblastomas show Y1R and Y2R expression in moderate frequency and density [252]. The presence of NPYR on glioma cells can be effectively used to target gliomas, as demonstrated in several papers [253,254]. This advantage can also be used to improve PS delivery and PDT effects, as demonstrated by Hu et al. by equipping their designed NP with the Y1R ligand [255]. However, there is a lack of work on targeting Y2R, which could be particularly attractive in the treatment of WHO stage IV gliomas [252]. Since NPYRs are characterized by proliferative effects, it is also worth checking the effect of PDT on their expression levels and the relationship between expression and PDT efficacy.

26. Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine Kinases

Receptor-interacting protein kinases 1 (RIP1) and 3 (RIP3) are regulators of programmed necrosis [256]. The exact function of the RIP1/RIP3 pathway in cancer development has not been elucidated, and both stimulation and inhibition of this pathway have been proposed for anti-cancer therapy [257]. Several of the compounds tested in glioma therapy have been shown to induce the RIP1/RIP3 pathway to induce necroptosis of its cells [258,259,260]. RIP1/RIP3 complex regulates programmed glioma necrosis even after high dose of radiation [261]. The effect of PDT on RIP1/RIP3 is not established. Coupienne et al. showed that ALA-PDT of glioblastoma cells activates the RIP3-dependent necrotic pathway, and the resulting necrosome is composed of RIP1, RIP3, and other unrecognized stubs [262]. Fettweis et al. characterized the RIP3/TSC2 complex, suggesting that RIP3 promotes glioma cell death by targeting the TSC2-dependent survival pathway after ALA-PDT [263]. Since work on drugs affecting the RIP1/RIP3 pathway is already underway, a thorough elucidation of its role in glioma PDT is essential for their successful association [257].

27. Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor

Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) is highly expressed in blood brain barrier and glioma cells, while normal brain tissues and neurons have relatively low levels of it [264,265]. Previous work has shown that targeting LDLRs may be a promising strategy for improving drug delivery in glioma therapy [266]. This approach was also tested in PDT, associating LDL with hydrophobic PS [267,268,269,270]. PDT-induced phototoxicity of glioma cells with berberine and hypericin PSs was correspondingly higher when combined with LDL than when used alone [269,270]. However, the above results were described in vitro under conditions that do not test the ability to cross the BBB, so they would need to be confirmed in vivo. Since the efficacy of PS-LDL association has been demonstrated in vivo in subcutaneously implanted HepG2 cells in nude mice, and targeting LDLR is a promising strategy for overcoming BBB limitations, this line of future research seems particularly warranted [266,271].

28. GLUT Glucose Transporters

Two transporters are involved in glucose transport into cells. The first, GLUT mediates facilitated passive transport, while the second, SGLT, mediates active transport. The expression of GLUT and SGLT is tissue-dependent and depends on its role in carbohydrate metabolism [272,273]. The complex role of GLUTs in the glioma has not yet been completely elucidated. Specific functions are known to vary for different types of GLUTs, but it has been established that GLUTs may be responsible for proliferation, invasion of the tumor [274,275,276]. Liu et al. found that GLUT-3 expression in glioma was significantly correlated with the pathological grade of the tumor [274]. The effect of PDT on GLUT levels in the glioma is unclear, and available data are conflicting. Li et al. report that HMME-PDT inhibits the expression of GLUT-1 [59]. On the other hand, Ma et al. show that the expression of GLUT-1 and GLUT-3 was significantly increased after ALA-PDT [62]. This effect is presumably dependent on HIF-1a. In the first study, PDT led to a decrease in it, while in the second, an increase was observed. This is consistent with previous findings on the effect of HIF-1a on GLUT-1 expression [275]. In view of this, regulation of HIF-1a expression may be an attractive way to reduce GLUT expression. Because of their effect on GLUT tumor growth, they can be used to improve the effects of PDT. Zhang et al. achieved this by synthesizing a novel PS that effectively targeted the GLUT/hexokinase pathway [277]. Moreover, by modifying drugs with glucose, GLUTs can also be used to achieve improved crossing of biological barriers and targeted delivery of therapeutics [278]. This property has also been successfully exploited in association with PS, but not in glioma therapy, where the association of PS with other sugars has been tested [279,280]. Targeting GLUT, however, must be done with caution. Indeed, it has been shown that inhibition of GLUT-1 can lead to reduced intracellular glucose uptake, which would be particularly detrimental in the highly metabolically active malignant glioma [275].

29. Other Molecules and Pathways

In this section, we present the remaining isolated reports on PDT and molecular approaches in the glioma. Several papers point to potential molecules that improve PS delivery. Akcker et al. showed that the association of PS with an antibody targeting the additional A domain of fibronectin leads to microvascular dysfunction and reduced glioma growth within the first 48 hours after treatment with complete recovery 5 days after treatment [281]. De Groof indicate that improved PS selectivity can be achieved by coupling PS with NPs targeting a US28 protein [282]. This function can also be performed by nucleolin and the receptor for transferrin [283]. Akhlynina et al. showed that nuclear targeting of photosensitizing conjugates by incorporating a large-tumor antigen nuclear localization signal results in enhanced photodynamic activity than with free Ce6 [284]. Other work presents further molecules that affect PDT efficacy. Wu et al. report that the presence of intercellular communication through Connexin Cx43 improves the phototoxicity of PDT gliomas [285]. An et al. demonstrated that PDT with PS Sinoporphyrin sodium reduces protein phosphorylation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway [286]. Lee et al. indicate that a tumor protein (TP53) is involved in mediating Ph-PDT resistance by binding to the ALKBH2 promoter [287]. Park et al. suggest that the key molecule responsible for glioma PDT resistance is C5α [288]. Higher APE1 endonuclease activity and increased expression and activation of the DNA damage kinase ATM may also serve these functions [289]. The effect of PDT on the immune response is highlighted by Li et al. demonstrating that glioma PDT also induces the release of inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IFN-γ [290].
