Photodynamic therapy (PDT),which is a new method for treating tumors,has been used in the treatment of cancer.In-depth research has shown that PDT cannot completely kill tumor cells,indi-cating that tumor cells are resistant to PDT.Glucose regulatory protein 78 (GRP78),which is a key regulator of endoplasmic reticulum stress,has been confirmed to be related to tumor resistance and recurrence,but there are relatively few studies on the further mechanism of GRP78 in PDT.Our experiment aimed to observe the role of GRP78 in HOS human osteosarcoma cells treated with pyropheophorbide-α methyl ester-mediated photodynamic therapy (MPPα-PDT) and to explore the possible mechanism by which the silencing of GRP78 expression enhances the sensitivity of HOS osteosarcoma cells to MPPα-PDT.HOS osteosarcoma cells were transfected with siRNA-GRP78.Apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by Hoechst staining and flow cytometry,cell viability was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay,GRP78 protein fluorescence intensity was detected by immunofluorescence,and apoptosis-related proteins,cell proliferation-related proteins,and Wnt pathway-related proteins were detected by western blot.The results showed that MPPα-PDT can induce HOS cell apoptosis and increase GRP78 expression.After suc-cessful siRNA-GRP78 transfection,HOS cell proliferation was decreased,and apoptosis-related proteins expressions was increased,Wnt/β-catenin-related proteins expressions was decreased,and ROS levels was increased.In summary,siRNA-GRP78 enhances the sensitivity of HOS cells to MPPα-PDT,the mechanism may be related to inhibiting Wnt pathway activation and increasing ROS levels.
