Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the PSD-007-mediated photodynamic effect on mouse osteosarcoma cell line LM-8, both in vitro and in vivo. Methods LM-8 cells were incubated with different concentrations of PSD-007 for 4 hours and then followed different laser irradiations. After photodynamic therapy (PDT), cell viability was measured using MTT assay and the optical density in each experiment was measured at 450 nm with a micro plate reader. The inhibition rate of cell growth was calculated. Four-week-old female C3H mice were used for implantation of LM-8 cells. When the diameter of tumor reached up to 7-8 mm, the mice were randomly divided into following groups: 1) control group, including untreated control, saline with laser irradiation, PSD-007 without laser irradiation; 2) PDT group, PSD-007 (5 and 10 mg/kg) was injected intravenously into the mice, and the tumor site was irradiated with laser light 6 hours after injection. Seven days after PDT, the size and weight of the tumors were measured. The inhibition rate of tumor was calculated, and all tumor specimens were taken for pathologic examination. After the diameter of tumor was 10-12 mm, the tumors were performed a marginal resection and subsequently followed 3 different treatments: without PDT (control), PDT with 240 J/cm2 or 360 J/cm2 laser irradiation. After 4 weeks treatment, the tumor recurrence rates were analyzed. Results MTT assay revealed that the cytotoxic effect of PDT on the LM-8 cells was positively correlated with the concentration of PSD-007 and the level of laser irradiation. When the concentration exceeded 4μg/ml, and the energy exceeded 6 J/cm2, the inhibition ratio was over 50%. No anti-tumor effect was observed in the cells treated with only laser irradiation or PSD-007 injection. Compared with the control group, the size and weight of the tumors were obviously decreased after PDT. PDT performed after marginal resection of the tumor reduced the rate of local recurrence. Conclusion PDT with PSD-007 showed cytotoxic effect on the LM-8 cells, and which performed after marginal resection of the tumor reduced the rate of local recurrence.
