Sensitivity of different cell lines to phototoxic effect of disulfonated chloroaluminium phthalocyanine.

چکیده
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment for cancer involving three key components: sensitizer, light and tissue oxygen. A sensitizer is a chemical compound that can be excited by light of a specific wavelength. Phthalocyanine ClAlPcS(2), belonging among the promising second generation of sensitizers, was evaluated as an inducer of photodamage on NIH3T3 (mouse fibroblasts), B16 (mouse melanoma), MCF7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) and G361 (human melanoma) cell lines. A semiconductor laser was used as a source for evocation of the photodynamic effect. We report the influence of various concentrations of the sensitizer in combination with laser irradiation on the photodamage of cells. Viability of cells was determined by means of molecular probes (Calcein AM and ethidium homodimer) for fluorescence microscopy. The quantitative changes of cell viability in relation to sensitizer concentrations and laser irradiation were proved by fluorometric measurement. We detected phototoxicity evoked by laser irradiated sensitizer in all studied cell lines. In addition, the viability studies showed that G361 melanoma cells and MCF7 breast adenocarcinoma cells were more sensitive than NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts and B16 mouse melanoma to photodynamic damage induced by ClAlPcS(2).

Sulfonated phthalimidomethyl aluminum phthalocyanine: the effect of hydrophobic substituents on the in vitro phototoxicity of phthalocyanines.
The photocytotoxicity of sulfonated phthalimidomethyl aluminum phthalocyanine, a more hydrophobic photosensitizer as compared to phthalocyanine substituted with sulfonate groups only, was investigated. Inclusion of 1-2 phthalimidomethyl groups into disulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine, resulted in increased partition coefficients between n-octanol and water, and a six-fold increase in both cell...

متن کاملFluorescence imaging during photodynamic therapy of experimental tumors in mice sensitized with disulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine.
A fluorescence imaging system was used to monitor the emission of disulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine (AlS2Pc) during the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of murine tumors. Cells of the MS-2 fibrosarcoma were injected in mice in two compartments in order to cause the development of tumors in different host tissues. Two drug doses and two uptake times were considered. Moreover, the fluorescence of th...

Levels of disulfonated and tetrasulfonated aluminum phthalocyanines (AlPcS2,4) were measured in cells derived from FsaR tumors (murine fibrosarcoma) using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). The tumors were excised from animals injected with the sensitizer 24 h earlier and enzymatically dissociated. Before flow cytometry, the cells were stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugate...
متن کاملIn vitro photodynamic therapy on melanoma cell lines with phthalocyanine.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment modality of tumours. The photochemical interactions of sensitizer, light, and molecular oxygen produce singlet oxygen and other forms of active oxygen, such as peroxide, hydroxyl radical and superoxid anion. Phthalocyanine ClAlPcS(2), belonging among the promising second generation of sensitizers, was tested as an inducer of photodamage. We report t...
