Selective antitumor effect of novel protease-mediated photodynamic agent.
A new approach to selective photodynamic therapy (PDT) was developed by designing chlorin e6 (Ce6)-containing macromolecules, which are sensitive to tumor-associated proteases. The agents are nontoxic in their native state but become fluorescent and produce singlet oxygen on protease conversion. Coupled with optimized delivery systems, we show that (a) the agents efficiently accumulate in tumor...
متن کاملPhoto-oxidative action in cervix carcinoma cells induced by HPD - mediated photodynamic therapy.
UNLABELLED Photodynamic therapy leads to oxidative stress through the generation of free radicals. Oxidative stress causes damage to cellular macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. AIM To examine the hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD) - mediated photodynamic effect on cervical adenocarcinoma cell line HeLa. METHODS The HpD localization in HeLa cells was analyzed by confoca...
متن کاملPhotodynamic therapy enhancement of antitumor immunity is regulated by neutrophils.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a Food and Drug Administration-approved local cancer treatment that can be curative of early disease and palliative in advanced disease. PDT of murine tumors results in regimen-dependent induction of an acute local inflammatory reaction, characterized in part by rapid neutrophil infiltration into the treated tumor bed. In this study, we show that a PDT regimen that...
متن کاملAntitumor Cytotoxicity Mediated by Ligand-activated Human Va24 NKT Cells
Human Va24 NKT cells bearing an invariant Va24JaQ antigen receptor, the counterpart of the murine Va14 NKT cells, are activated by the specific ligand, a-galactosylceramide (a-GalCer) in a CD1d-dependent manner. Here, we demonstrate that the a-GalCer-activated Va24 NKT cells exert a potent perforin-dependent cytotoxic activity against a wide variety of human tumor cell lines. In addition, we de...
