Abstract
Photodynamic induced cytotoxicity by Victoria blue BO (VB-BO), merocyanine 540 (MC540), Nile blue A (NB) and 4-tetrasulfonatophenyl-porphyrin (4-TSPP) has been studied on two human leukemic cell lines: K-562 and TF-1. Cells were incubated with dyes and irradiated with different doses of white light. Cell survival was assessed by propidium iodide (PI) staining using flow cytometry analysis. Concentrations of 5 x 10(-8) M VB-BO were found to kill 75% of cells, and a concentration of 1 x 10(-7) M induced more than 99% of cell killing. To obtain the same cytotoxic level, the presence of 2.6 x 10(-5) M of MC540 during irradiation was needed. Under the conditions used, NB was ineffective as a photosensitizer, although uptake studies showed that this dye was taken by the cells in much greater amounts than any other studied dye. Cell cycle distribution of TF-1 cells, surviving MC540 or VB-BO photosensitization has been studied by flow cytometry analysis after staining with Hoechst 33342 and PI. It was found that cells in G1 phase were slightly more resistant toward MC540- and VB-BO-mediated photosensitization than cells in other phases of the cell cycle.
