Effects of hematoporphyrin (HPD) and a chemiluminescence system on the growth of transplanted tumors in C3H/HeJ mice.

چکیده
Photoradiation therapy is emerging as a promising technique for combating cancer. Fundamentally, this approach consists of two steps: hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) is used to selectively sensitize cancer cells to visible light; after an appropriate time interval, light is introduced into the tumor via a laser-fiber optic system to trigger the cytotoxic action of HPD. The present investigation was initiated to determine the therapeutic potential of HPD in combination with a chemiluminescent activator in treating mice which had been transplanted with tumors.

Immunological suppression in mice treated with hematoporphyrin derivative photoradiation.
Hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) is a potent photosensitizer which localizes preferentially in malignant tumors. Parenteral administration of this compound followed by irradiation with the appropriate wavelengths of light has been used for the diagnosis and treatment of various epithelial neoplasms. In this study the effects of such treatment on immunological responses were evaluated by examini...
متن کاملTreatment of murine intraperitoneal ovarian ascitic tumor with hematoporphyrin derivative and laser light.
An ascitic murine tumor, ovarian embryonal carcinoma, was used as a model of human ovarian carcinoma restricted to the peritoneum. The tumor was treated with a combination of hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) and i.p. 514-nm laser light. Mice were given injections of 2 X 10(5) tumor cells, and by 9 days, there were 2 to 4 g of ascitic tumor/mouse. On Day 9, mice (68) were treated as follows: (12...
متن کاملDetermination of Vascular Endothelial- and Fibroblast-Growth Factor Receptors in a Mouse Fibrosarcoma Tumor Model Following Photodynamic Therapy
The role of angiogenic molecules, like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) in tumor angiogenesis was well confirmed. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) action is, to very high degree, based on tumor vasculature damage. Therefore, it seemed to be important to evaluate growth factor receptors after PDT. The extent of receptor expression was studied by immuno-histo...
متن کاملMechanism of lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis: requirement for lipopolysaccharide-sensitive lymphoreticular cells.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces rapid necrosis of intradermal fibrosarcomas in mice. The mechanism(s) by which LPS produces tumor necrosis has been investigated using histocompatible LPS-sensitive (C3H/HeN) and LPS-resistant (C3H/HeJ) mouse strains. C3H/HeN- or C3H/HeJ-derived fibrosarcomas were necrotized by LPS when they were grafted onto C3H/HeN mice but were not affected when growing on C3...
متن کاملExperimental study on photodynamic diagnosis of cancer mediated by chemiluminescence probe.
A novel method of photodynamic diagnosis of cancer mediated by chemiluminescence probe is presented. The mechanism for photodynamic therapy involves singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) generated by energy transfer from photosensitizers. (1)O(2) can react with 3,7-dihydro-6-[4-[2-(N'-(5-fluoresceinyl)thioureido)ethoxy]phenyl]-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one sodium salt (FCLA), which is a Cypridina luci...
