Abstract | Background: Port wine stains (PWS) are vascular malformations, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising treatment. Emerging drug delivery method employs nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance drug permeability and retention in diseased blood vessels and improving drug bioavailability. (-) -epigallocatechin-3-gallate glycine (EGCG) has anti-angiogenetic effects and boosts photodynamic therapy. Chlorin e6 (Ce6) is capable of efficiently producing singlet oxygen, rendering it a very promising photosensitizer for utilization in nanomedicine. Material and methods: EGCG-Ce6-NPs were synthesized and characterized using various techniques. The photodynamic effects of EGCG-Ce6-NPs on endothelial cells were evaluated. The compatibility and toxicity of the nanoparticle was tested using the CCK-8 assay. The intracellular uptake of the nanoparticle was observed using an inverted fluorescence microscope, and the intracellular fluorescence intensity was detected using flow cytometry. The ROS generation and apoptosis induced by EGCG-Ce6-NPs was observed using confocal laser scanning microscope and flow cytometry respectively. Results: EGCG-Ce6-NPs exhibited stability, spherical shape of uniform size while reducing the particle diameter, low polydisperse profile and retaining the ability to effectively generate singlet oxygen. These characteristics suggest promising potential for enhancing drug permeability and retention. Additionally, EGCG-Ce6-NPs demonstrated good compatibility with endothelial cells and enhanced intracellular uptake of Chlorin e6. Furthermore, EGCG-Ce6-NPs increased activation efficiency, induced significant toxicity, more reactive oxygen species, and higher rate of late apoptosis after laser irradiation. Conclusion: This in vitro study showed the potentials EGCG-Ce6-NPs for the destruction of endothelial cells in vasculature. |
