Abstrakt: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for deep-seated tumors is still challenging due to the limited penetration of visible light through tissues. To resolve this limitation, systems based on bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), that do not require an external light source are proposed. Herein, for BRET-activated PDT we developed proteinaceous BRET-pair consisting of luciferase NanoLuc, which acts as energy donor upon addition of luciferase specific substrate furimazine, and phototoxic protein SOPP3 as a photosensitizer. We have shown that hybrid protein NanoLuc-SOPP3 is an excellent BRET pair with BRET ratio of 1.12. Targeted delivery of NanoLuc-SOPP3 BRET pair via tumor-specific small liposomes (∼100 nm) to tumors overexpressing the HER2-receptor (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) was demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The proposed BRET-activated system has been shown to significantly suppress tumor growth in a model of subcutaneous and, more importantly, deep-seated tumor model. Taking into account the in vivo efficiency of proposed BRET-activated system, we believe that it has great potential for depth-independent PDT and can significantly broaden the application of PDT in the clinic.
