Abstract

Keloids display many cancerous properties, including uncontrolled and invasive growth, high rates of recurrence as well as similar bioenergetics. 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) is an effective treatment that performs cytotoxic effects by producing Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which is linked to lipid peroxidation and Ferroptosis. Herein, we explored underlying mechanisms of 5-ALA-PDT against keloids. We identified that 5-ALA-PDT led to elevated levels of ROS and lipid peroxidation in keloid fibroblasts, accompanied by downregulation of xCT and GPX4, which are associated with anti-oxidation effects and Ferroptosis inhibition. These results may indicate that 5-ALA-PDT treatment increases ROS while inhibiting xCT and GPX4, thus promoting lipid peroxidation to induce Ferroptosis in keloid fibroblasts.
