The specific light-induced, non-enzymatic photolysis of mOGG1 by porphyrin-conjugated or rose bengal-conjugated streptavidin and porphyrin-conjugated or rose bengal-conjugated first specific or secondary anti-IgG antibodies is reported. The porphyrin chlorin e6 and rose bengal were conjugated to either streptavidin, rabbit anti-mOGG1 primary specific antibody fractions or goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody fractions. Under our experimental conditions, visible light of wavelengths greater than 600 nm induced the non-enzymatic degradation of mOGG1 when this DNA repair enzyme either directly formed a complex with chlorin e6-conjugated anti-mOGG1 primary specific antibodies or indirectly formed complexes with either streptavidin-chlorin e6 conjugates and biotinylated first specific anti-mOGG1 antibodies or first specific anti-mOGG1 antibodies and chlorin e6-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibodies. Similar results were obtained when rose bengal was used as photosensitizer instead of chlorin e6. The rate of the photochemical reaction of mOGG1 site-directed by all three chlorin e6 antibody complexes was not affected by the presence of the singlet oxygen scavenger sodium azide. Site-directed photoactivatable probes having the capacity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) while destroying the DNA repair system in malignant cells and tumors may represent a powerful strategy to boost selectivity, penetration and efficacy of current photodynamic (PDT) therapy methodologies.
