Cunzhi Lin, Yuanyuan Zhang, Jiemei Liao, Shichao Cui, Zhe Gao, Weizhong Han

TL;DR
This study shows that photodynamic therapy using hematoporphyrin derivatives can reduce the growth of lung cancer and bronchial cells by inducing apoptosis.
Contribution
The novel contribution is demonstrating the effectiveness of HPD-PDT in inhibiting cancer and bronchial cell proliferation through specific apoptotic pathways.
Findings
HPD-PDT significantly reduced cell viability in H446 and BEAS-2B cells at 15 μg/mL HPD and 50 mW/cm2 laser.
HPD-PDT increased apoptosis, as shown by increased apoptotic rates and morphological changes.
HPD-PDT upregulated Bax and Caspase-9 mRNA while downregulating Bcl-2 mRNA, suggesting apoptotic pathway activation.
Abstract
To investigate the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by hematoporphyrin derivatives (HPD) on the proliferation of small cell lung cancer H446 cells and bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells. H446 cells and BEAS-2B cells were cultured in vitro with different concentrations of HPD(0, 5, 10, 12, 15, 20 μg/mL) for 4 h, and then irradiated with 630 nm laser with different energy densities (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 mW/cm2). Cell viability of H446 cells and BEAS-2B cells were detected by CCK8 assay. The cell apoptosis was observed with Annexin V-FTTC/PI double staining and Hoechst 33258. The RT-PCR examination was applied to detect the transcriptional changes of the mRNA of Bax、Bcl-2, and Caspase-9. The results of CCK8 showed that when the HPD was 15 μg/mL and the laser power density reached 50 mW/cm2, the cell viability was significantly decreased compared with the black control group.…
