Targeting mitochondria in cancer therapy : Insight into photodynamic and photothermal therapies

Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Mitochondria are critical multifunctional organelles in cells that generate power, produce reactive oxygen species, and regulate cell survival. Mitochondria that are dysfunctional are eliminated via mitophagy as a way to protect cells under moderate stress and physiological conditions. However, mitophagy is a double-edged sword and can trigger cell death under severe stresses. By targeting mitochondria, photodynamic (PD) and photothermal (PT) therapies may play a role in treating cancer. These therapeutic modalities alter mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby affecting respiratory chain function and generation of reactive oxygen species promotes signaling pathways for cell death. In this regard, PDT, PTT, various mitochondrion-targeting agents and therapeutic methods could have exploited the vital role of mitochondria as the doorway to regulated cell death. Targeted mitochondrial therapies would provide an excellent opportunity for effective mitochondrial injury and accurate tumor erosion. Herein, we summarize the recent progress on the roles of PD and PT treatments in regulating cancerous cell death in relation to mitochondrial targeting and the signaling pathways involved.
