Electroporation assisted delivery of Roussin salt porphyrin-based conjugated carbon nanoparticles for sono–X-ray–photodynamic prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo treatment by Samir Ali Abd El-Kaream, Abed Elrahman Ahmad Mohamad, Sohier Mahmoud El-Kholey, Samia Abd El-Moniem Ebied

“…Results Indicated that CNP is a useful RRBP delivery mechanism that targets PCa cells directly. Furthermore, EP@RRBP-CNP is a promising SXPS that, when used in conjunction with SXPDT, can be very effective in in vitro treating PCa-DU-145 (in a dose-dependent manner cell viability declined, an increase in the cells population during the G0/G1-phase indicates that the cell cycle was arrested, and an increase in cell population in the Pre-G, autophagic cell death, as well as necrosis and early and late apoptosis, indicate that cell death was induced) and MNU/testosterone-PCa-induced mice in vivo (induced antiproliferative genes, p53, Bax, TNFalpha, caspase 3,9, repressed antiangiogenic and antiapoptotic genes, VEGF and Bcl2, respectively), successfully slowing the growth of tumors and even killing cancer cells, as well as lowering oxidative stress (MDA), improving the functions of the kidneys (urea, creatinine), liver (ALT, AST), and antioxidants (GPx, GPx, GST, CAT, GSH, TAC). …”
