The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by the cationic porphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetra-(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphine (TMPyP), on an ovarian carcinoma cell line and the underlying mechanisms by which TMPyP-PDT exerts its actions. The analysis of cell viability, hematoxylin and eosin staining and flow cytometric apoptosis assays revealed that TMPyP-PDT potently suppressed the growth of the A2780 cells in a laser energy- and dose-dependent manner. Mechanically, it was observed that TMPyP-PDT suppressed the proliferation and motility of the A2780 cells. In addition, the expression levels of minichromosome maintenance protein-2 (MCM2) and carbonic anhydrase IX (CA-IX) were detected by western blot analysis. The results indicated that the TMPyP-PDT-induced apoptosis and antimetastatic activity in the A2780 cells was accompanied by the inhibition of the expression of MCM2 and CA-IX. Therefore, TMPyP-PDT may represent a potential therapeutic method for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma.
本研究的目的是探讨由阳离子卟啉5,10,15,20-四(N-甲基-4-吡啶基)卟啉(TMPyP)介导的光动力疗法(PDT)对卵巢癌细胞系的潜在影响以及TMPyP-PDT发挥作用的潜在机制。细胞活力分析、苏木精和伊红染色以及流式细胞术凋亡检测显示,TMPyP-PDT以激光能量和剂量依赖性方式有效抑制A2780细胞的生长。从机制上讲,观察到TMPyP-PDT抑制A2780细胞的增殖和运动。此外,通过蛋白质印迹分析检测微小染色体维持蛋白2(MCM2)和碳酸酐酶IX(CA-IX)的表达水平。结果表明,TMPyP-PDT诱导的A2780细胞凋亡和抗转移活性伴随着MCM2和CA-IX表达的抑制。因此,TMPyP-PDT可能是一种治疗卵巢癌的潜在治疗方法。
