Title Effect of combined photodynamic and chemotherapeutic treatment on lymphoma cells in vitro.
Journal Cancer Lett
Abstract We investigated the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of a combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and cisplatin (CDDP) on L5178Y (LY) cells. Treatment with PDT by photofrin((R)) (5 microg/ml) alone or with CDDP (20 microg/ml) alone killed 41.5+/-8.5% or 42.9+/-6.5% of LY cells, respectively, while a combination of these two treatments killed 99.7+/-0.6%. Apoptotic cell death after combination treatment was also revealed to be 49.6+/-7.8% compared to 12.4+/-3.4% after PDT alone, and 18.8+/-2.6% after CDDP. This study demonstrated that combined treatment of PDT and CDDP results in enhanced apoptotic cell death as well as a cytotoxic effect on LY cells.
