Hypocrellin and hypericin-induced phototoxicity of HL-60 cells: apoptosis or necrosis?

Hypericin and hypocrellin are potential antiviral and antineoplastic agents with multiple modes of light-induced biological activity connected with a production of singlet oxygen and/or excited-state proton transfer and consequent pH drop formation in the drugs environment. In present work light-induced cytotoxicity of hypericin and hypocrellin and mechansim of cell death (apoptosis or necrosis) on human leukemic cell line HL-60 was studied. As a mean for apoptosis detection we used poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) as a sensitive marker of early stages of apoptosis. Our results show that exposition of HL-60 cells to hypericin (1 x 10(-5) mol x l(-1)) for 4 hours has no effect on PARP cleavage. However, after 24 and 48 hours of illumination there is evident that hypericin in this concentration cleaved PARP (116 kDa) into two fragments (85 and 25 kDa). Contrary to hypericin, hypocrellin in concentration 1 x 10(-5) mol x l(-1) after 4 hours of illumination cleaved PARP into two fragments typical for apoptosis. In lower concentration (1 x 10(-6) mol x l(-1)) hypocrellin possess also significant cytotoxic activity. Because we detected no fragmentation of PARP in all observed time periods we suggest that cytotoxic effect of hypocrellin in this concentration is due to induction of necrosis. Our results support the hypotesis that the hypericin and hypocrellin has similar mechanism of action and illumination increases cytotoxic effect of both agents.     

Gene cluster conservation identifies melanin and perylenequinone biosynthesis pathways in multiple plant pathogenic fungi

Perylenequinones are a family of structurally related polyketide fungal toxins with nearly universal toxicity. These photosensitizing compounds absorb light energy which enables them to generate reactive oxygen species that damage host cells. This potent mechanism serves as an effective weapon for plant pathogens in disease or niche establishment. The sugar beet pathogen Cercospora beticola secretes the perylenequinone cercosporin during infection. We have shown recently that the cercosporin toxin biosynthesis (CTB) gene cluster is present in several other phytopathogenic fungi, prompting the search for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) of structurally similar perylenequinones in other fungi. Here, we report the identification of the elsinochrome and phleichrome BGCs of Elsinoë fawcettii and Cladosporium phlei, respectively, based on gene cluster conservation with the CTB and hypocrellin BGCs. Furthermore, we show that previously reported BGCs for elsinochrome and phleichrome are involved in melanin production. Phylogenetic analysis of the corresponding melanin polyketide synthases (PKSs) and alignment of melanin BGCs revealed high conservation between the established and newly identified C. beticola, E. fawcettii and C. phlei melanin BGCs. Mutagenesis of the identified perylenequinone and melanin PKSs in C. beticola and E. fawcettii coupled with mass spectrometric metabolite analyses confirmed their roles in toxin and melanin production.     

Potentiation of hypericin and hypocrellin-induced phototoxicity by omeprazole.

Hypericin and hypocrellin are potential antiviral and antineoplastic agents with multiple modes of light-induced biological activity connected with a production of singlet oxygen and/or excited-state proton transfer and consequent pH drop formation in the drugs environment. In present work light-induced cytotoxicity of hypericin (1 x 10(-5) - 10(-9) mol) and hypocrellin (1 x 10(-5) - 10(-9) mol) and potentiating effect of omeprazole on human leukemic cell line HL-60 was studied. Under dark condition cultivation none cytotoxicity was observed. The only one exception was hypocrellin in concentration 1 x 10(-5) mol which displayed full cytotoxic effect. However, illumination increased cytotoxic effect of hypericin and hypocrellin, both. Omeprazole, an inhibitor of H+K+-ATPase, has been used for testing the hypothetical pH decreasing effect of hypericin and hypocrellin in their cytotoxic mechanism of action. The results of our experiments have shown that in HL-60 cell line the effect of hypericin and hypocrellin at 1 x 10(-6) mol (both) was significantly potentiated by omeprazole in concentrations 1 x 10(-6) - 10(-9) mol. Our results support the hypothesis that the excited-state proton transfer and the consequent acidification of hypericin and hypocrellin environment could play a role in the biological activity of both agents.

Synthesis and EPR investigations of new aminated hypocrellin derivatives

Hypocrellins are novel photodynamic agents. A recent advance in the synthesis of hypocrellin congeners results in the production of two amino-substituted hypocrellin B derivatives in high yield via photochemical reaction. Both compounds exhibit similar photodynamic activity as hypocrellin B in terms of type I and type II mechanisms. In anaerobic media, semiquinone anion radicals can be detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) under irradiation; while superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen are photoproduced when oxygen was present. The quantum yields of singlet oxygen by these two new compounds are determined to be 0.72 and 0.64, respectively, similar to that of hypocrellin B. The comparison of the photosensitization chemistry of compounds 1 and 2 in liposomes with that in homogeneous solution has also been made. In liposomes, the type II photoprocess was favored and predominant over the type I photoprocess due to the decreased interactions between dye molecules. Both compounds exhibit much stronger red light absorption than the parent hypocrellin and therefore, merit investigation as photosensitizers.     

Delivering a hydrophobic anticancer drug for photodynamic therapy by amorphous formulation

An amorphous formulation of hypocrellin A for photodynamic therapy is reported which can provide stable aqueous dispersion of such hydrophobic photosensitizers. In vitro studies have demonstrated the active uptake of amorphous formulation of hypocrellin A into the mitochondria of tumor cells. Compared with Tween-80 micelle embedded hypocrellin A, low dark-toxicity but similar light-toxicity of the amorphous one to drug impregnated tumor cells was observed. Thus, the potential of using amorphous formulation of hypocrellin A as drug delivery system for photodynamic therapy has been demonstrated.

Interaction of antiviral and antitumor photoactive drug hypocrellin A with human serum albumin.

Absorption, resonance Raman, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning microcalorimetry were employed to study the interaction of hypocrellin A with human serum albumin. The identification of the binding place for hypocrellin A as well as the model for the albumin-hypocrellin A complex are proposed. In this model hypocrellin A interacts with albumin through more than one binding site placed on the protein surface. This model of non-specific interaction could explain why the absorption spectrum of hypocrellin A does not change in the presence of albumin and why the presence of the drug does not change significantly the thermodynamic parameters of the protein, while the Raman spectra show evident changes concerning both the protein and the drug structure. Even if hypocrellin A does not interact with an interior binding site, it can affect deeply the general albumin structure.     

Hypocrellin derivative with improvements of red absorption and active oxygen species generation

A novel diamino-substituted hypocrellin derived from hypocrellin B (HB) was synthesized by a mild method. The red absorption of the resulting product was significantly enhanced relative to the parent hypocrellins and any other hypocrellin derivatives, and the active oxygen species generating abilities were enhanced distinctly, which will remarkably improve its photodynamic therapy effectiveness.
