Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown improvements in cancer treatment and in the induction of a proper anti-tumor immune response. However, current photosensitizers (PS) lack tumor specificity, resulting in reduced efficacy and side effects in patients with intraperitoneal ovarian cancer (OC). In order to target peritoneal metastases of OC, which overexpress folate receptor (FRα) in 80% of cases, we proposed a targeted PDT using a PS coupled with folic acid. Herein, we applied this targeted PDT in an in vivo mouse model of peritoneal ovarian carcinomatosis. The efficacy of the treatment was evaluated in mice without and with human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) reconstitution. When mice were reconstituted, using a fractionized PDT protocol led to a significantly higher decrease in the tumor growth than that obtained in the non-reconstituted mice (p = 0.0469). Simultaneously, an immune response was reflected by an increase in NK cells, and both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were activated. A promotion in cytokines IFNγ and TNFα and an inhibition in cytokines TGFβ, IL-8, and IL-10 was also noticed. Our work showed that a fractionized FRα-targeted PDT protocol is effective for the treatment of OC and goes beyond local induction of tumor cell death, with the promotion of a subsequent anti-tumor response.
