摘要
The curative effect of sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is limited and sorafenib resistance remains a major obstacle for HCC. To overcome this obstacle, a new photoactive sorafenib-Ru(II) complex Ru-Sora has been designed. Upon irradiation (λ = 465 nm), Ru-Sora rapidly releases sorafenib and generates reactive oxygen species, which can oxidize intracellular substances such as GSH. Cellular experiments show that irradiated Ru-Sora is highly cytotoxic toward Hep-G2 cells, including sorafenib-resistant Hep-G2-SR cells. Compared to sorafenib, Ru-Sora has a significant photoactivated chemotherapeutic effect against Hep-G2-SR cancer cells and 3D Hep-G2 multicellular tumor spheroids. Furthermore, Ru-Sora inducing apoptosis and ferroptosis is proved by GSH depletion, GPX4 downregulation, and lipid peroxide accumulation. Metabolomics results suggest that Ru-Sora exerts photocytotoxicity by disrupting the purine metabolism, which is expected to inhibit tumor development. This study provides a promising strategy for enhancing chemotherapy and combating drug-resistant HCC disease.
