Abstract: The present disclosure involves the use of metal-containing texaphyrins and zinc (II) reagents for the treatment of tumors, atheromas and other neoplastic tissue. The present application demonstrates increased oxidative stress, alterations in zinc homeostasis, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis of cancer cells in the presence of texaphyrins and/or zinc. One aspect is to monitor oxidative stress and/or alterations in zinc homeostasis in target cells prior to and/or after treatment with metal-containing texaphyrins and/or zinc (II) reagents as a predictor for treatment efficacy. The present disclosure provides molecular basis for the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis on cancer cells in the presence of texaphyrins and zinc. Another aspect is to monitor different genes involved in response to treatment with texaphyrins and zinc prior to and/or after treatment as predictors for treatment efficacy.
