2. Experimental Methods
Synthesis of TPCTP: The intermediate (2Z,2'Z)-2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(3-(4-(bis (4-
(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)amino)phenyl)acrylonitrile) (TPC) was synthesized following a
literature procedure.[1] In a 25 mL round-bottom flask, a mixture of cisplatin (10.20
mg, 0.034 mmol) and silver nitrate (5.78 mg, 0.034 mmol) in N,N-
dimethylformamide (DMF) (10 mL) was stirred and heated to 60 °C for 24 h under a
nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was
separated by centrifugation. The supernatant was added with TPC (3.32 mg, 0.0034
mmol) and stirred at 60 °C for 24 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling to
room temperature, the mixture was poured into diethyl ether. The precipitate was then
washed with diethyl ether three times and dried under reduced pressure to afford the
product as an orange powder (6.16 mg, yield: 89%).
The value of water solubility: Frist, the standard curve of TPC and TPCTP in
dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been determined. Then, TPC and TPCTP (0.5 mg)
were dissolved in pure water (8 mL), respectively. The aqueous solution was gently
swung for 24 h (37 °C) after sonication. Then, 6.8 mL of supernatant was lyophilized
after centrifugation. Lyophilized TPC and TPCTP were re-dissolved in DMSO to
measure the absorption value. Finally, the values of water solubility were calculated
according to the standard curve of TPC and TPCTP, respectively.
Measurement of 1O2 generation: The 1O2 generation of TPC and TPCTP in water
S-3
upon white light irradiation (350-800 nm, 1 mW cm-2) was determined using 9,10-
anthracenediyl-bis(methylene) dimalonic acid (ABDA) as an indicator and Rose
Bengal (RB) as the standard reference. [2] The concentration of ABDA was 100 µM
and the concentration of the individual solution of cisplatin, TPC, TPCTP, and RB
was 5 µM. The absorbance decrease of ABDA at 379 nm was recorded upon different
irradiation time. The 1O2 quantum yield was calculated using the following equation
Ф𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒=Ф𝑅𝐵 ×𝐾𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 ∗ 𝐴𝑅𝐵𝐴𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 ∗ 𝐾𝑅𝐵
where K is the slope of the absorbance versus irradiation time. A represents the
integral area of absorption by TPC, cisplatin, RB and TPCTP on white irradiation.
ΦRB is the 1O2 quantum yield of reference Rose Bengal, which is 0.75 in water.
KTPCTP, KTPC and KRB were calculated to be 0.00283, 0.00052 and 0.00135,
respectively (Fig. 12D), and ATPCTP, ATPC and ARB during 350-800 nm were
determined to be 24.602, 26.231 and 11.772, respectively (Fig. S8).
Cellular Imaging: All cisplatin-resistant and nonresistant cells were cultured in
chamber (LAB-TEK, Chambered Cover Glass System) with standard medium
containing 10% FBS and 1% antibiotics (37 °C, 5 % CO2). After 24 h, the medium
was replaced with TPCTP in DMEM (5 μM) and incubated for 24 h. Then, the cells
were then treated with Lysotraker Red (100 × 10 −9 M) and incubated for 30 min.
After being washed by phosphate-buffer saline (PBS), the living cells were observed
by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM, Perkin Elmer & Olympus,
UltraVIEW VoX & IX81). The excitation wavelength was 488 nm and signal
collection wavelength region was 500-570 nm for TPCTP. The excitation wavelength
S-4
was 594 nm and signal collection wavelength region was 610-710 nm for Lysotracker
Red.
Flow Cytometry Analysis: All cisplatin-resistant and nonresistant cancer cells were
seeded at a density of 2×105 cells/mL of the DMEM medium with 10% FBS on 12-
well plates to the final volume of 1 mL. The plates were incubated for 24 h and then
treated with TPCTP for different time. After incubation under the condition (5% CO2,
37 °C), cells were collected and washed with PBS for twice. The cell uptake was then
quantified by a flow cytometer (CytoFLEX S), immediately.
ICP-OES: HeLa and A549 cells were seeded in 100 mm diameter Petri dish in
triplicate with 3.0 million cells and were incubated in standard medium for 24 h (37
ºC, 5% CO2). Then, the cells were incubated with TPCTP (4 µM) or standard medium
in the dark for 24 h. The cells were treated with trypsin and washed with PBS, and
their nuclei were isolated using the Nuclear Extraction Kit. The samples were then
lyophilized and weighted. Platinum concentrations in all of the fractions were
determined by ICP-OES.
Dark toxicity of TPCTP in Vitro: To evaluate the dark toxicity of TPCTP, the cell
viability of TPCTP to various cisplatin-resistant and nonresistant cells were
investigated. Cells were seeded in 96-well plates and cultured in standard medium for
24 h (37 ºC, 5% CO2). The cells were treated with various concentrations of
individual drug for 48 h in the dark. After been washed by PBS, 100 µL of freshly
prepared MTT solution was added into each well. The MTT solution was carefully
removed after 4 h of incubation, and DMSO (130 µL) was added into each well to
S-5
dissolve all the formazan formed. The absorbance of MTT at 570 nm was measured
by the microplate reader. Cell viability was expressed by the ratio of the cells
incubated with different drugs to those incubated with culture normal medium. Each
experiment was repeated at least three times.
Phototoxicity of TPCTP in Vitro: The cytotoxicity of different drugs in the presence
of white light irradiation was assessed by MTT assays. All cisplatin-resistant and
nonresistant cancer cells were seeded in 96-well plates and cultured in standard media
for 24 h. The cells were then incubated with drug solutions of various concentrations
in the dark for 24 h. The mixtures were exposed to white light irradiation (350-800
nm, 4 mW cm-2) for 30 min. The cells were further cultured for 24 h after irradiation.
After being washed by PBS, 100 µL of freshly prepared MTT solution was added into
each well. The MTT solution was carefully removed after 4 h of incubation, and
DMSO (130 µL) was added into each well to dissolve all the formazan formed. The
absorbance of MTT at 570 nm was measured by the microplate reader.
The Value of Combination Index (CI): To verify whether TPCTP has a synergistic
effect on PDT and chemotherapy, the CI value of TPCTP was calculated by Calcusyn
software. The phototoxicity of TPCTP was caused by the synergy between PDT (TPC
+ Light group) and chemotherapy (cisplatin group). The calculated CI values are
obtained with fraction affected by the dose (Fa) at 0.5.
