Stroma-rich co-culture multicellular tumor spheroids as a tool for photoactive drugs screening

TL;DR: A 3D stroma-rich in vitro model of HNSCC is constructed, using cancer-associated MeWo skin fibroblasts and FaDu pharynx squamous cell carcinoma, and it is demonstrated that the presence of stroma influences the behavior of photoactive drugs in different ways.
Journal ArticleDOI

The alteration of temoporfin distribution in multicellular tumor spheroids by β-cyclodextrins.

TL;DR: To be effective anticancer drugs must penetrate tissue efficiently, reaching all target population of cancer cells in a concentration sufficient to exert a therapeutic effect, varying the type of β-CD can finely tune the possibility of using mTHPC for diagnostic (delimitation of tumor margins) or therapeutic purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parameters Affecting Photodynamic Activity of Foscan® or Meta-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) In Vitro and In Vivo

TL;DR: In vitro photodynamic activity of Foscan or meta-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) was approximately five times lower in the presence of protein in comparison with serum-free medium, while in vivo the activity was elevated by macroscopic measurement of the necrosis depth after tumoral resection using an in vivo staining procedure with Evans blue dye.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin-sensitized photodynamic damage of cultured tumor and normal cells in the presence of high concentrations of α-tocopherol

TL;DR: In this study alpha-tocopherol was successfully incorporated by cultured HT29 adenocarcinoma cells, but not by MRC-5 normal fibroblasts, indicating that lipid peroxidation is of minor importance in mTHPC photoactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted photodynamic therapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: heading into the future

TL;DR: An insight into the future of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is given through the combination of a photosensitizing agent with light and oxygen, leading to selective tumor eradication.
