Synergistic Cytotoxic Effect of Gold Nanoparticles and 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy against Skin Cancer Cells
Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic modality for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. In this study, the epidermoid carcinoma cell line A431 and the normal fibroblasts were used to investigate whether gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can induce an increase in cell death during PDT using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a photosensitizer.Methods: Human fibroblast an...
متن کاملDerivatives of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid for Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinical treatment that combines the effects of visible light irradiation with subsequent biochemical events that arise from the presence of a photosensitising drug (possessing no dark toxicity) to cause destruction of selected cells. Today, the most common agent used in dermatological PDT is 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). As a result of its hydrophilic character, ...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy for acne vulgaris with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid.
After obtaining informed consent, the patient was treated with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT). Twenty percent ALA (A 7793; Sigma, St Louis, Mo) in an oil-in-water emulsion (Yoshida, Tokyo, Japan) was applied to a 5 3 5-cm area of the right cheek for 4 hours with a light-shielded dressing. On Wood lamp examination, the affected lesion showed numerous dots of vivid r...
متن کاملEffect of Silver Nanoparticles on Improving the Efficacy of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Induced Photodynamic Therapy
Introduction: The most important limitation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the efficacy of the cells in converting 5-ALA to protoporphyrin IX. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the photosensitivity at the surface plasmon resonance wavelength on 5-ALA-mediated PDT. Material and Methods: First of a...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy of human glioma spheroids using 5-aminolevulinic acid.
The response of human glioma spheroids to 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) is investigated. A two-photon fluorescence microscopy technique is used to show that human glioma cells readily convert ALA to protoporphyrin IX throughout the entire spheroid volume. The central finding of this study is that the response of human glioma spheroids to ALA-mediated PDT depend...
