Objective: To study the effect of new photosensitizer Chlorophyl-derivative (CPD4) combined with Adriamycin on cell cycle and cell proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and to investigate the mechanism of combination therapy. Methods: A new type of photosensitizer and traditional chemotherapy drug Adriamycin (ADM) were used to treat breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Flow cytometry was employed to detect apoptosis rate and cell cycle distribution in ADM group, group with photodynamic effect and the combined group. The influence of ADM on the mean fluorescence intensity and the changes in the mean fluorescence intensity after CPO4 (1.5μg/mL) treatment were analyzed. Results: The apoptosis rate of the combination group was higher than that in the other two groups, with statistical significance (P＜0.01). Photodynamic effect caused G_0/G_1 phase arrest in MCF-7 cells. Low concentration of ADM increased the number of G_2/M phase cells. The percentage of G_2/M phase cells was increased in the combination group. No significant difference was found in the mean fluorescence intensity between ADM pretreated MCF-7 cells for 24 hours and 48 hours and the control group (P＞0.05). Pretreatment of MCF-7 cells with ADM increased the volume of photosensitizer CPD4 into the cells. The mean fluorescence intensity at 2 hours after CPD4 incubation was the highest. Conclusion: ADM can increase the amount of CPD4 into the MCF-7 cells. Photodynamic therapy com-bined with Adriamycin has a synergistic effect on MCF-7 cells.
