In vitro study of cell death with 5-aminolevulinic acid based photodynamic therapy to improve the efficiency of cancer treatment

Abstract: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a kind of photochemo therapeutic treatment that exerts its effect mainly through the induction of cell death. Distinct types of cell death may be elicited by different PDT regimes. In this study, efforts are underway to optimize PDT protocols for improved efficacy and combination of all three PDT mechanisms involved in the different human carcinomas cell narcosis. Our in vitro cell cul ture experiments with 5 aminolevulanic acid (ALA) a clinically approved photiosensitizer (PS) an… Show more

“…The use of PS is necessary to reduce cell viability. The increase in percentage viability might be accounted for enhanced cell division resulting from the accelerated mitochondrial activity on light irradiation (Firdous, Nawaz et al 2012).…”

“…A cytotoxic study of 5-ALA-mediated PDT on cancer cells was performed as a proof of concept of CELL-LEF. As a positive control for this experiment, we used a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) known to be highly sensitive to 5-ALA-mediated PDT [73][74][75][76]. We also used a human glioblastoma cell line (U87), for which studies are inconclusive, due to the unknown optimal parameters for high-efficacy PDT [77].…”
