Nanomaterials-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been used to treat malignant cells. However, the intrinsic impact of nanomaterials-based PDT on mechanical properties of intractable tumor cells is not well understood. Herein, we demonstrated that the mechanical forces of Taxol-resistant tumor cells were decreased by nanopurpurin-based PDT destructing extracellular matrix (ECM), increasing therapy sensitivity and repressing tumor metastasis. Combining FIRMS and general confocal microscope, we observed that the disruption of ECM by photodynamic reaction of P18-nanoconfined liposome (P18⊂L) induced a decrease of adhesion force and biomechanical properties of Taxol-resistant cells through the attenuation of actomyosin-based contractility thereby inhibiting cell migration and metastasis in vivo. Moreover, the destroyed ECM by P18⊂L PDT increased the therapy sensitivity. A clearer understanding of the effect of nanopurpurin-based PDT on mechanical properties and behaviors of intractable tumor cells will provide new and important basis for developing new therapeutic strategies.
