Abstract

Previously we showed apoptotic induction in A375 human melanoma cells using two complexes of the mesotetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinate (TPPS),(Bu2Sn)2TPPS and (Bu3Sn)4TPPS. To understand how these compounds activate apoptosis in melanoma cells we studied MAPKs and the (Bu2Sn)TPPS and (Bu3Sn)4TPPS cellular uptake. Western blotting experiments showed activated protein kinases ERK 1/2, JNK and p38 in 10 μM (Bu2Sn)2TPPS- and 1 μM (Bu3Sn)4TPPS-treated melanoma cells, which suggests that the three MAP kinases are involved in the apoptotic death of A375-treated cells. By taking advantage of the porphyrin fluorescence, we found a fast concentration of (Bu2Sn)2TPPS and (Bu3Sn)4TPPS in the nucleus and in the nucleoli compared to TPPS. A significantly reduced growth of A375 human melanoma cells was also observed after only 48 h treatment by using 500 nM of (Bu2Sn)2TPPS or 80 nM of (Bu3Sn)4TPPS. A strong slowdown of cell growth and loss of cell-cell interactions were visible by in vitro wound repair assay.
