The cytotoxic effect of PPIX on isolated sarcoma 180 cells induced by ultrasound was investigated. Tumor cells suspended in air-saturated PBS (pH 7.2) were exposed to ultrasound at 2.2 MHz for up to 60s in the presence and absence of protoporphyrin IX disodium salt (PPIX). The viability of cells was
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to investigate the differences in pharmacokinetics, sub-cellular localizations and sonodynamic efficacy between endogenous and exogenous protoporphyrin IX (endo-PpIX and exo-PpIX) in sarcoma 180 (S180) cells.
METHODS
The 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-derived
This study was to investigate whether the apoptosis in isolate sarcoma 180 (S180) cells could be enhanced by ultrasound in the presence of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) and also to evaluate the underlying biologic mechanism. S180 cells were exposed to ultrasound for 30 seconds' duration, at the frequency
OBJECTIVE
The comparison between sonodynamic antitumor effect with protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) and hematoporphyrin (Hp) at a concentration of 5 mg/kg on Sarcoma 180 (S180) cells was studied in vivo, and the potential cell damage mechanism was also investigated.
METHODS
The sonodynamically induced
BACKGROUND
Porphyrin derivatives have been widely used in photodynamic therapy as effective sensitizers. Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), a well-known hematoporphyrin derivative component, shows great potential to enhance light induced tumor cell damage. However, PpIX alone could also exert anti-tumor
Fluorescence monitoring during photodynamic therapy (PDT) with the use of topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was carried out in patients bearing superficial and nodular basal cell carcinomas (BCC), squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and Kaposi's sarcomas. A new diagnostic-therapeutic system based on an
The major cytotoxic component of hemin was identified as metal free protoporphyrin IX in an epithelioid sarcoma cell line (VA-ES-BJ) and a glioblastoma cell line (U-373 MG) by exposing the cell lines to the iron chelator deferoxamine, tin-protoporphyrin IX, and protoporphyrin IX. The contribution of
The role of multi-drug resistance (MDR1) and its product, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) on 5-aminolevulinic acid hexyl ester (Hexyl-ALA) mediated phototoxicity was determined with human uterine sarcoma cells, MES-SA control and MDR1 expressing MES-SA-Dx5. MDR1 expression reduced intracellular levels of the
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), an inducible enzyme that catalyzes oxidative degradation of heme to form biliverdin, carbon monoxide and free iron, may protect tumor cells against oxidative stress, thus contributing to rapid tumor growth in vivo. Here, we discuss whether pegylated zinc protoporphyrin
BACKGROUND
The sonodynamically induced antitumor effect of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) disodium salt was studied in mice bearing sarcoma 180 solid tumors.
METHODS
In order to determine the optimum timing of ultrasound exposure after administration of PPIX, the PPIX concentrations in plasma, skin,
The present study was initiated to investigate the potential biological mechanism of cell killing effect on isolate sarcoma 180 (S180) cells induced by ultrasound activating protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). S180 cells were exposed to ultrasound for 30s duration, at a frequency of 2.2 MHz and an acoustic
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), an inducible enzyme that metabolizes the heme group, is highly expressed in human Kaposi sarcoma lesions. Its expression is up-regulated by the G protein-coupled receptor from the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (vGPCR). Although recent evidence shows that HO-1
High expression of the inducible isoform of heme oxygenase (HO-1) is now well known in solid tumors in humans and experimental animal models. We reported previously that HO-1 may be involved in tumor growth (Tanaka et al., Br. J. Cancer, 88: 902-909, 2003), in that inhibition of HO activity in
We synthesized N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide polymer conjugated with zinc protoporphyrin (HPMA-ZnPP) and evaluated its application for tumor detection by imaging and treatment by light exposure using in mouse sarcoma model. To characterize HPMA-ZnPP micelle, we measured its micellar size,
