Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging treatment for various solid cancers. We recently reported that tumor cell lines and patient specimens from adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) are susceptible to specific cell death by visible light exposure after a short-term culture with 5-aminolevulinic acid, indicating that extracorporeal photopheresis could eradicate hematological tumor cells circulating in peripheral blood. As a bridge from basic research to clinical trial of PDT for hematological malignancies, we here examined the efficacy of ALA-PDT on various lymphoid malignancies with circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood. We also examined the effects of ALA-PDT on tumor cells before and after conventional chemotherapy. With 16 primary blood samples from 13 patients, we demonstrated that PDT efficiently killed tumor cells without influencing normal lymphocytes in aggressive diseases such as acute ATL. Importantly, PDT could eradicate acute ATL cells remaining after standard chemotherapy or anti-CCR4 antibody, suggesting that PDT could work together with other conventional therapies in a complementary manner. The responses of PDT on indolent tumor cells were various but were clearly depending on accumulation of protoporphyrin IX, which indicates the possibility of biomarker-guided application of PDT. These findings provide important information for developing novel therapeutic strategy for hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), an aggressive type of T-cell malignancy, is caused by the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) infections. The outcomes, following therapeutic interventions for ATL, have not been satisfactory. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exerts selective cytotoxic activity against malignant cells, as it is considered a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure. In PDT, photosensitizing agent administration is followed by irradiation at an absorbance wavelength of the sensitizer in the presence of oxygen, with ultimate direct tumor cell death, microvasculature injury, and induced local inflammatory reaction. This review provides an overview of the present status and state-of-the-art ATL treatments. It also focuses on the photodynamic detection (PDD) of hematopoietic malignancies and the recent progress of 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-PDT/PDD, which can efficiently induce ATL leukemic cell-specific death with minor influence on normal lymphocytes. Further consideration of the ALA-PDT/PDD system along with the circulatory system regarding the clinical application in ATL and others will be discussed. ALA-PDT/PDD can be promising as a novel treatment modality that overcomes unmet medical needs with the optimization of PDT parameters to increase the effectiveness of the tumor-killing activity and enhance the innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses by the optimized immunogenic cell death.

Abstract
Aminolevulinate-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) selectively eliminates diseased tissues primarily through the induction of intrinsic apoptotic pathway. ALA-PDT is a first-line therapy for actinic keratosis, however, it is less effective for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). We have previously demonstrated that the resistance of CTCL to apoptosis correlates with decreased expression of death receptors such as FAS, and that methotrexate functions as an epigenetic regulator that reestablishes the susceptibility of CTCL to extrinsic pathway apoptosis. We showed previously that MTX augments the effectiveness of PDT by sensitizing cells to apoptosis by induction of apoptotic factors, a process we call "epigenetically enhanced" PDT (ePDT). Here, in CTCL cell lines, leukemic CTCL cells, and normal blood T cells, we analyzed multiple components of the FAS, TRAIL, and TNF families using multispectral imaging of immunostained cytopreparations, a quantitative technique with five-fold greater sensitivity than standard immunocytology. ePDT induced significantly greater FAS, FASL, TRAIL-R1 & -R2, and TNFα levels than standard PDT. This correlated with significantly greater induction of extrinsic pathway apoptosis and/or overall apoptosis in all CTCL samples. There was no appreciable effect on normal T cells. These data set the stage for clinical trials of ePDT as a novel localized treatment of CTCL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mycosis fungoides is the most common cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Selection of appropriate treatment for mycosis fungoides (MF) is based on prognostic factors and overall clinical stage at diagnosis. In the past decade, clinical success has been reported using photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an alternative target-specific therapy to treat mycosis fungoides. This review aimed to summarize the current advances in management of mycosis fungoides by administration of photodynamic therapy. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Twenty-four articles, published between 1994 and 2017, were reviewed to assess the efficacy of PDT for MF. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Methyl-aminolevulinic acid has increased lipophilic properties; red light at around 630 nm achieves deepest and best tissue penetration. However, the total number of PDT sessions depends on the clinical response. CONCLUSIONS Further multicenter clinical studies are warranted to assess the cost-effectiveness of PDT.

Abstract
Conventional photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinate (ALA-PDT) selectively induces apoptosis in diseased cells and is highly effective for treating actinic keratoses. However, similar results are achieved only in a subset of patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Our previous work shows that the apoptotic resistance of CTCL correlates with low expression of death receptors like Fas cell surface death receptor (FAS), and that methotrexate upregulates FAS by inhibiting the methylation of its promoter, acting as an epigenetic derepressor that restores the susceptibility of FAS-low CTCL to caspase-8-mediated apoptosis. Here, we demonstrate that methotrexate increases the response of CTCL to ALA-PDT, a concept we refer to as epigenetically enhanced PDT (ePDT). Multiple CTCL cell lines were subjected to conventional PDT versus ePDT. Apoptotic biomarkers were analyzed in situ with multispectral imaging analysis of immunostained cells, a method that is quantitative and 5× more sensitive than standard immunohistology for antigen detection. Compared to conventional PDT or methotrexate alone, ePDT led to significantly greater cell death in all CTCL cell lines tested by inducing greater activation of caspase-8-mediated extrinsic apoptosis. Upregulation of FAS and/or tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand pathway components was observed in different CTCL cell lines. These findings provide a rationale for clinical trials of ePDT for CTCL.

Abstract
In vitro research performed on eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell cultures usually represents the initial step for characterization of a novel photosensitizer (PS) intended for application in photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer or photodynamic inactivation (PDI) of microorganisms. Although many experimental steps of PS testing make use of the wide spectrum of methods readily employed in cell biology, special aspects of working with photoactive substances, such as the autofluorescence of the PS molecule or the requirement of light protection, need to be considered when performing in vitro experiments in PDT/PDI. This tutorial represents a comprehensive collection of operative instructions, by which, based on photochemical and photophysical properties of a PS, its uptake into cells, the intracellular localization and photodynamic action in both tumor cells and microorganisms novel photoactive molecules may be characterized for their suitability for PDT/PDI. Furthermore, it shall stimulate the efforts to expand the convincing benefits of photodynamic therapy and photodynamic inactivation within both established and new fields of applications and motivate scientists of all disciplines to get involved in photodynamic research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A major obstacle for permanent cancer eradication is the persistence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood, which often escape radio- or chemotherapy. Currently no efficient strategy to remove CTCs from peripheral blood in order to lower the risk of metastases or tumor recurrence exists. Photodynamic treatment (PDT) using aminolevulinic acid (ALA) induced protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) as photosensitizer offers an innovative approach to overcome this problem. This study aims at providing basic evidence towards fluorescence detection and photodynamic depletion of scattered cancer cells from blood preparations. METHODS The breast cancer cell line T47D, endothelial GP8 cells, red blood cells (RBCs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) have been tested for ALA-induced formation kinetics of PPIX by flow cytometry and microplate fluorescence analysis. The influence of the presence of RBCs on the PPIX-accumulation in cancer cells was evaluated by flow cytometry; the efficacy of PDT on cancer cells and MNCs has been tested by resazurin assay. Mixtures of T47D and GP8 cells and MNCs spiked with cancer cells were tested to determine the limit of fluorescence detection by flow cytometry and antibody co-staining. RESULTS T47D cells accumulated significantly higher PPIX-amounts after ALA-incubation than any other cell type tested. The presence of RBCs had no impact on PPIX-formation in T47D cells. Experiments towards the fluorescence detection of cancer cells in blood revealed that the sensitivity of this method is yet limited. Viability testing after PDT showed that cancer cells where almost completely eradicated after illumination whereas MNCs were almost spared. CONCLUSION We clearly demonstrate in vitro tumor cell selectivity of PPIX-accumulation over endothelial cells, MNCs and RBCs. Breast cancer cells are efficiently killed by PDT with minor depletion of MNCs. Our findings provide a basis for the PDT of blood samples for a future depletion of CTCs.

Abstract
Lymphocytic infiltration of the skin (LIS) is a relatively uncommon skin condition, first described by Jessner and Kanof in 1953. LIS presents mainly on the face, in particular on the cheeks and earlobe, but also on the neck, upper trunk or proximal limbs of middle-aged adults. LIS is often resistant to treatment. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) refers to the process of applying a topical prodrug, such as 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) or methyl 5-aminolaevulinic acid (MAL), followed by irradiation with visible or ultraviolet light. The prodrug is converted by target tissue to photoactive porphyrins, which lead to local tissue destruction when activated by light. We describe a 48-year-old woman with refractory LIS, who was treated with MAL-PDT.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy, mediated by exogenously administered aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT), followed by exposure to a laser or broadband light source, is a promising modality for treatment of many types of cancers; however, it remains inadequate to treat large, deep, solid tumors. In this article, we report that calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3, can be administered before ALA as a nontoxic preconditioning regimen to markedly increase the efficacy of ALA-PDT. Using mouse models of squamous cell skin cancer for preclinical proof of concept, we showed that calcitriol, delivered topically or intraperitoneally, increased tumoral accumulation of the PDT-activated ALA product protoporphyrin-IX (PpIX) up to 10-fold, mainly by altering expression of the porphyrin-synthesis enzymes coproporphyrinogen oxidase (increased) and ferrochelatase (decreased). Calcitriol-pretreated tumors underwent enhanced apoptotic cell death after ALA-based PDT. Mechanistic studies have documented activation of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway, with specific cleavage of caspase-8 and increased production of TNF-α in tumors preconditioned by calcitriol treatment before receiving ALA-PDT. Very low doses of calcitriol (0.1-1 μg/kg body weight) were sufficient to elicit tumor-selective enhancement to ALA-PDT efficacy, rendering toxicity concerns negligible. Our findings define a simple, nontoxic, and highly effective preconditioning regimen to enhance the response of epithelial tumors to ALA-PDT, possibly broadening its clinical applications by selectively enhancing accumulation of photosensitizer PpIX together with TNF-α in tumors.

Abstract
The levels and rates of accumulation of porphyrins in lymphoid cells and bone marrow cells treated with exogenous 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) were studied. The dependence of the quantity of porphyrins accumulated in cell on ALA concentrations in the medium had maximum at 0.7-1.0 mM ALA for all the cell types studied (splenocytes, thymocytes, peripheral blood lymphocytes and bone marrow cells). The rate of accumulation of uro-, copro- and protoporphyrins depended on cell types. The lowest and the highest levels were found in splenocytes and highest in bone marrow cells respectively. It is suggested that photodynamic therapy employing ALA is potentially dangerous for blood cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Outcome in osteochondral allografting is limited by the immunological incompatibility of the grafted tissue. Based on a resistance of chondrocytes to photodynamic therapy in cell culture it is proposed that 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) might be used to inactivate bone while maintaining viability of chondrocytes and thus immunomodulate bone selectively. METHODS Chondrocytes and osteoblasts from porcine humeral heads were either isolated (cell culture) or treated in situ (tissue culture). To quantify cytotoxic effects of 5-ALA-PDT (0-20 J/cm(2), 100 mW/cm(2)) an (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-di-phenyltetrazolium bromide) (MTT)-assay was used in cell culture and in situ hybridization in tissue culture to assess metabolic active cells (functional osteoblasts: col alpha(1)(I) mRNA, functional chondrocytes: col alpha(1)(II) mRNA). RESULTS In cell culture, survival after 5-ALA-PDT was significantly higher for chondrocytes (5 J/cm(2): 87+/-12% compared to untreated cells) than for osteoblasts (5J/cm(2): 12+/-11%). In tissue culture, the percentage of functional chondrocytes in cartilage showed a decrease after 5-ALA-PDT (direct fixation: 92+/-2%, 20 J/cm(2): 35+/-15%; P<0.0001). A significant decrease in the percentage of bone surfaces covered by functional osteoblasts was observed in freshly harvested (31+/-3%) compared to untreated tissues maintained in culture (11+/-4%, P<0.0001), with no further decrease after 5-ALA-PDT. CONCLUSION Chondrocytes were more resistant to 5-ALA-PDT than osteoblasts in cell culture, while in tissue culture a loss of functional chondrocytes was observed after 5-ALA-PDT. Since osteoblasts - but not chondrocytes - were sensitive to the tissue culture conditions, devitalized bone with functional cartilage might already be achieved by applying specific tissue culture conditions even without 5-ALA-PDT.

Abstract
In several randomized, controlled studies, the application of a standard preparation containing methyl-aminolevulinate (MAL; Metvix, Galderma, F), followed by red light irradiation proved effective and well tolerated in the treatment of actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma, and has now been approved for clinical use in European countries. A brand name aminolevulinic acid (ALA) solution (Levulan Kerastick, Dusa Pharmaceuticals Inc., Wilmington, MA) plus blue light exposure has been approved for the treatment of actinic keratosis in the USA. Randomized and controlled studies have shown that MAL as well as ALA are also effective in the treatment of Bowen's disease. In addition, a large and growing number of open studies or case reports have evaluated its use in the treatment of a broad range of other neoplastic, inflammatory and infectious skin diseases. However, efficacy and definite advantages over standard therapies remain to be clarified because the experimental design of these studies was often poor, the number of enrolled patients was generally low, and the follow-up was shorter than 12 months. However, these studies have suggested a few possible clinical applications worthy of further investigation. A growing number of laboratory and clinical findings suggest that several new synthetic sensitizers, besides ALA and MAL, may be helpful in the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers, melanoma metastasis, and selected inflammatory and infective skin diseases. These compounds are deliverable intravenously, have short half-lives both in the blood and skin, and are highly efficient. However, they are as of yet not approved for clinical use.

Abstract
Aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been successfully employed in the treatment of certain tumours. Porphyrins endogenously generated from ALA induce tumour regression after illumination with light of an appropriate wavelength. The aim of this work was to compare porphyrin production from ALA and sensitivity to photodynamic treatment in a tumour/normal cell line pair. We employed the HB4a cell line from normal mammary luminal epithelium and its counterpart transfected with the oncogen H-Ras (VAL/12 Ras). After 3 h of exposure to ALA, HB4a-Ras cells produce a maximum of 150 ng porphyrins per 10(5) cells whereas HB4a produce 95 ng porphyrins per 10(5) cells. In addition, HB4a-Ras cells show a plateau of porphyrin synthesis at 1 mM whereas HB4a porphyrins peak at the same concentration, and then decrease quickly. This higher porphyrin synthesis in the tumorigenic cell line does not lead to a higher response to the photodynamic treatment upon illumination. Lethal doses 50, LD(50), determined by MTT assay were 0.015 J cm(-2) and 0.039 J cm(-2) for HB4a and HB4a-Ras respectively after 3 h exposure to 1 mM ALA. The conclusion of this work is that a tumour cell line obtained by transfection of the Ras oncogene, although producing higher porphyrin synthesis from ALA, is more resistant to ALA-PDT than the parental non-tumour line, however the mechanism is not related to photosensitiser accumulation, but very likely to cell survival responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Unilesional MF is characterized by a limited involvement of the skin and a chronical, though indolent course. If lesions are refractory to topical steroids, therapies such as localized chemotherapy, photochemotherapy and radiotherapy are available. However, they have several acute and chronic side-effects and toxicity may accumulate if repeated and protracted treatment cycles are delivered to refractory or relapsing lesions. The present study aims to assess the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with topical methylaminolevulinate (MAL) in the treatment of unilesional MF. METHODS Five patients were enrolled who had unilesional MF that did not respond to treatment with topical steroids, localized psoralen and UVA therapy or UVA1 phototherapies. A 20% MAL (Metvix cream) cream was applied under occlusive dressing for 3 h. Soon afterwards, skin was irradiated with 37.5 J/cm(2) of red light (635+/-18 nm) delivered by an Aktilite CL128 lamp (PhotoCure ASA) with an irradiance of 86 W/cm(2) at skin level. PDT was repeated once weekly until complete clearing of the lesions was obtained, or, in the case of partial clearing, the therapy was interupted when three successive treatments provided no further improvement. All patients underwent a skin biopsy before and after PDT. RESULTS A complete remission was observed in four patients and a partial improvement in one. The median number of treatments was six (range 1-9). In no cases was recurrence seen at follow-up (ranging from 12 to 34 months). Treatments were well tolerated and local anesthesia was never requested. CONCLUSION In conclusion, here, PDT was seen to be an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for unilesional MF.

Abstract
K562 is the chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)-derived cell line that expresses high levels of chimeric oncoprotein Bcr-Abl. The deregulated (permanent) kinase activity of Bcr-Abl leads to continuous proliferation of K562 cells and their resistance to the apoptosis promotion by conventional drugs. The photodynamic treatment (PDT) based on the application of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and irradiation with blue light (ALA-PDT) resulted in the suppression of K562 cells proliferation. It was followed by a necrosis-like cell death [K. Kuzelová, D. Grebenová, M. Pluskalová, I. Marinov, Z. Hrkal, J. Photochem. Photobiol. B 73 (2004) 67-78]. ALA-PDT led to the perturbation of the Hsp90/p23 multichaperone complex of which the Bcr-Abl is the client protein. Bcr-Abl protein was suppressed whereas the bcr-abl mRNA level was not affected. Further on, we observed several changes in the cytoskeleton organization. We detected ALA-PDT-mediated disruption of filamental actin structure using FITC-Phalloidin staining. In connection with this we uncovered certain cytoskeleton organizing proteins involved in the cell response to the treatment. Among these proteins, Septin2, which plays a role in maintaining actin bundles, was suppressed. Another one, PDZ-LIM domain protein 1 (CLP36) was altered. This protein acts as an adaptor molecule for LIM-kinase which phosphorylates and thus inactivates cofilin. Cofilin was indeed dephosphorylated and could thus be activated and operate as an actin-depolymerizing factor. We propose the scheme of molecular response of K562 cells to ALA-PDT.

Abstract
We compare the effects of Imatinib mesylate (Glivec) on chronic myeloid leukemia derived cell lines K562 and JURL-MK1. In both cell lines, the cell cycle arrests in G(1)/G(0) phase within 24 h after the addition of 1 microM Imatinib. This is followed by a decrease of Ki-67 expression and the induction of apoptosis. In JURL-MK1 cells, the apoptosis is faster in comparison with K562 cells: the caspase-3 activity reaches the peak value (20 to 30 fold of the control) after about 40 h and the apoptosis proceeds to its culmination point, the DNA fragmentation, within 48 h following 1 microM Imatinib addition. Unlike K562 cells, JURL-MK1 cells possess a probably functional p53 protein inducible by TPA (tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate) or UV-B irradiation. However, no increase in p53 expression was observed in Imatinib-treated JURL-MK1 cells indicating that the difference in the apoptosis rate between the two cell lines is not due to the lack of p53 in K562 cells. Imatinib also triggers erythroid differentiation both in JURL-MK1 and K562 cells. Glycophorin A expression occurred simultaneously with the apoptosis, even at the single cell level. In K562 cells, but not in JURL-MK1 cells, the differentiation process involved increased hemoglobin synthesis. However, during spontaneous evolution of JURL-MK1 cells in culture, the effects produced by Imatinib progressively changed from the fast apoptosis to the more complete erythroid differentiation. We suggest that the apoptosis and the erythroid differentiation are parallel effects of Imatinib and their relative contributions, kinetics and completeness are related to the differentiation stage of the treated cells.

Abstract
5-Aminolaevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is used to eliminate cancerous cells through photoactivation of endogenously formed protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) following the administration of PPIX precursor, 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA). We report on the kinetics of PPIX accumulation and the mechanism of cytotoxic effects of ALA-PDT studied in the chronic myelogenous leukaemia derived cell line K562. The PPIX distribution and, consequently, cytotoxic effects were found to be heterogenous. A subpopulation of K562 cells accumulating PPIX to a lesser extent exhibits only transient cell cycle arrest. A fraction of cells, probably those with higher PPIX accumulation, are irreversibly damaged by ALA-PDT. We detected several signs of an early apoptosis: lowering of Bcl-xL expression, decrease of the mitochondrial and plasma membrane potential, the cytochrome c release into the cytoplasm, and the unmasking of the mitochondrial antigen 7A6. However, late apoptotic events were lacking: neither caspase-3 activation nor DNA fragmentation occurred. Instead, rapidly progressing cell necrosis resulting from plasma membrane damage was observed. We suggest that the high level of the antiapoptotic heat-shock proteins HSP70 and HSP27 found by us in the K562 cells is responsible for the inhibition of the apoptotic process upstream of caspases activation.

Abstract
A study to explore the optimal experimental parameters and the photosensitization of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) in promyelocytic leukemia cell HL60 has been conducted, in which HL60 cells and their control groups, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), first are incubated with different concentrations of ALA in dark for different periods of time and then followed by irradiating with different wavebands for different fluences. Fluorescence microscope and spectrofluorometer have been used to detect the fluorescence of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) endogenously produced by ALA. The response of the cells to ALA-PDT was evaluated by the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2-5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay (interval between irradiation and the MTT assay is 24 h) and by flow cytometry (the length of time between irradiation and the flow assay is 30 min). MTT results will reflect the relative number of metabolically active mitochondria in the population. Propidium iodide uptake in flow cytometry will test for membrane damage. The results of parameter experiments were obtained: 1 x 10(5)/mL HL60 cell was first incubated with 1 mmol/L ALA in dark for 4 h and the maximum fluorescence of PpIX level appeared; then irradiated with 410 nm (4 mW/cm2) for 14.4 J/cm2 and maximum photodamage to membrane and mitochondrial function of HL60 cell resulted. With the normal granulocytes, such response was not detected. Therefore a hypothetical idea can be brought forward that ALA-based PDT can be used for inactivation of leukemia cell HL60 and these optimal parameters may be useful for clinical application.

Abstract
5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has shown promising in photodynamic detection and therapy of brain tumor. However, the knowledge on selective accumulation of ALA-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in brain tumor tissue is still fragment. In the present study, the rat C6 glioma cells, human SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells, and rat normal cerebellar granule cells (RCG) were used to investigate the PpIX production and photocytotoxicity in vitro. The C6 cells and SK-N-SH cells showed a similar kinetics of PpIX accumulation after exposure to ALA or ALA hexyl ester (ALA-H), with an initial increase up to 6-8 h and then saturated. In the case of RCG cells, the PpIX accumulation slowly increased until 12 h studied. However the cellular PpIX content was more than 10 times higher in the C6 and SK-N-SH cells than that in the normal RCG cells. The intracellular localization of PpIX measured by cofocal laser scanning microscopy was in same pattern in the C6 glioma cells and RCG normal cells with a diffuse cytoplasm distribution. The sensitivity of the C6 cells and SK-N-SH cells to ALA or ALA-H PDT was similar. It appears that ALA-H could achieve similar or slightly better results than ALA with respect to PpIX production and photoinactivation of cells, although a 10 times lower concentration of ALA-H was used.

Abstract
We studied the mechanism of the cytotoxic effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT; induction with 1 mM ALA for 4 h followed by a blue light dose of 18 J/cm(2)) on the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 using biochemical and electron microscopy methods. The disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential, deltapsi(m), was paralleled by a decrease in ATP level, unmasking of the mitochondrial antigen 7A6, release of cytochrome c into the cytoplasm, activation of caspases 9 and 3 and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). This was followed by DNA fragmentation. These data suggest that ALA-PDT activates the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. The level of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-binding chaperones ERp57 and ERp72 and of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) was decreased whereas that of Ca(2+)-binding protein calmodulin and the stress protein HSP60 was elevated following ALA-PDT. Inhibition of the initiator caspase 9, execution caspase 3 and Ca(2+)-dependent protease m-calpain, did not prevent DNA fragmentation. We conclude that, in our in vitro model, ALA-based photodynamic treatment initiates several signaling processes in HL60 cells that lead to rapidly progressing apoptosis, which is followed by slow necrosis. Two apoptotic processes proceed in parallel, one representing the mitochondrial pathway, the other involving disruption of calcium homeostasis and activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated pathway.

Abstract
To provide more information on the 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA)-induced photodynamic effect on nucleoli, morphologically expressed nucleolar asynchrony (the presence of 'active' large nucleoli with an uniform distribution of RNA and 'resting' ring-shaped nucleoli in one and the same nucleus) was studied in cultured HL-60 leukemic granulocytic precursors using a simple cytochemical procedure for the demonstration of RNA. Nucleolar asynchrony was mainly expressed in cells which were apparently resistant to ALA-based photodynamic treatment (PDT) since most of them (about 75%) exhibited this phenomenon.

Abstract
Topical 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used increasingly for superficial non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and dysplasia. However, the relative accumulation of the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in diseased tissue is not specific for neoplastic disease, and has been shown after the application of ALA to benign proliferative skin conditions such as viral warts and psoriasis. This review appraises the quality of evidence available for the use of topical ALA-PDT in the treatment of skin conditions other than NMSC. The diseases that have been studied in most detail are recalcitrant viral warts, acne, psoriasis and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Publications relating to the treatment of other diseases by topical PDT are restricted to small case series or case reports. The relevant literature will be discussed and the potential for topical PDT in the treatment of several skin diseases is highlighted, although more detailed studies are required to clarify the role of PDT beyond the treatment of NMSC.

Abstract
Direct measurements of the radical reaction products following the electrochemical and photochemical oxidation and reduction of a metallophthalocyanine pi-ring are reported. Electrospray mass spectrometry was used to detect the presence of the anion zinc(II) (1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octafluoro, 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octaperfluoroisopropylphthalocyanine chloride, [ZnperF(64)Pc(-2) (Cl)](-), and its pi ring anion radical species, [ZnperF(64)Pc(-3)(Cl)](2-). This paper describes the use of ESI-MS techniques to determine the products of an on-line, photochemical radical oxidation, using CBr(4) as a sacrificial photoinduced oxidizing agent, which oxidized the radical, [ZnperF(64)Pc(-3)(Cl)](2-) species to [ZnperF(64)Pc(-2)(Cl)](-), where the complete reaction was detected directly by the mass spectrometer. This study makes use of electrospray mass spectrometry to detect the presence of an anion radical as the key component in the ring-reduced species and to monitor the immediate products of the important class of photochemical reduction and oxidation reactions in which radicals of the Zn Pc are formed in situ.

Abstract
Tetra(hydroxyphenyl)porphyrins started to attract interest as potential photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy in the early eighties. Subsequently, a number of derivatives of these compounds have been studied. In 1997 we reported the synthesis of the fluorinated derivatives 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (8), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,4-difluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (9), and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (10). We have measured their biological activity, using the MTT test, against cancer cell cultures in-vitro. The test showed that these compounds were as potent as 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (5), one of the leading photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy. The highest photoactivity was shown by the meta-hydroxy compounds 8 and 9. The para-compound showed high toxicity in the dark. Distribution of these compounds between normal and cancer tissue was studied using 19F NMR spectroscopy. The highest cancer tissue localization was also shown by the meta-hydroxy compounds 8 and 9. The para compound showed poor localization in tumour tissue. This study has shown that 19F NMR spectroscopy can be used to estimate the tissue distribution of fluorinated tetrahydroxyphenylporphyrins in-vivo.

Abstract
To verify if photodynamic therapy (PDT) could overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) when it it applied to eradicate minimal residual disease in patients with leukemia, we investigated the fluorescence kinetics of 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and the effect of subsequent photodynamic therapy on MDR leukemia cells, which express P-glycoprotein (P-gp), as well as on their parent cells. Evaluation of PpIX accumulation by flow cytometry showed that PpIX accumulated at higher levels in mdr-1 gene-transduced MDR cells (NB4/MDR) and at lower levels in doxorubicin-induced MDR cells (NOMO-1/ADR) than in their parent cells. A P-gp inhibitor could not increase PpIX accumulation. Measurement of extracellular PpIX concentration by fluorescence spectrometry showed that P-gp did not mediate the fluorescence kinetics of ALA-induced PpIX production. Assessment of ferrochelatase activity using high-performance liquid chromatography indicated that PpIX accumulation in drug-induced MDR cells was probably regulated by this enzyme. Assessment of phototoxicity of PDT using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay showed that PDT was effective in NB4, NB4/MDR, NOMO-1 and NOMO-1/ADR cells, which accumulated high levels of PpIX, but not effective in K562 and K562/ADR cell lines, which accumulated relatively low levels of PpIX. These findings demonstrate that P-gp does not mediate the ALA-fluorescence kinetics, and multidrug resistant leukemia cells do not have cross-resistance to ALA-PDT.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy combined with autologous transplantation using bone marrow or peripheral blood-derived stem cells (PBSC) is now widely used in the treatment of hematologic malignancies as well as some solid tumors like breast cancer (BC). However, some controversial results were recently obtained in the latter case. The presence of malignant cells in the autograft has been associated with the recurrence of the disease, and purging procedures are needed to eliminate this risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the photosensitizer 4,5-dibromorhodamine methyl ester (TH9402), a dibrominated rhodamine derivative, to eradicate multiple myeloma (MM) and BC cell lines, while sparing more than 50% of normal pluripotential blood stem cells from healthy volunteers. The human BC MCF-7 and T-47D and MM RPMI 8226 and NCI-H929 cell lines were used to optimize the photodynamic purging process. Cell concentration and the cell suspension thickness as well as the dye and light doses were varied in order to eventually treat 1-2 L of apheresis. The light source consisted of two fluorescent scanning tubes emitting green light centered about 515 nm. The cellular uptake of TH9402 was measured during the incubation and washout periods and after photodynamic treatment (PDT) using spectrofluorometric analysis. The limiting dilution assay showed that an eradication rate of more than 5 logs is obtained when using a 40 min incubation with 5-10 microM dye followed by a 90 min washout period and a light dose of 5-10 J/cm2 (2.8 mW/cm2) in all cell lines. Agitating the 2 cm thick cell suspension containing 20 x 10(6) cells/mL during PDT was essential for maximal photoinactivation. Experiments on mobilized PBSC obtained from healthy volunteers showed that even more drastic purging conditions than those found optimal for maximal eradication of the malignant cell lines were compatible with a good recovery of hematopoietic progenitors cells. The absence of significant toxicity towards normal hematopoietic stem cells, combined with the 5 logs eradication of cancer cell lines induced by this procedure suggests that TH9402 offers an excellent potential as an ex vivo photodynamic purging agent for autologous transplantation in MM and BC treatment.

Abstract
To provide more information on the 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA)-based photodynamic effect (PDE) on nuclei and nucleoli of individual leukemic cells, these structures were studied in cultured HL-60 cells which originated from leukemic highly immature and less differentiated precursors of granulocytes. The nuclear morphology was visualized by panoptic May-Grünwald/Giemsa staining and cytochemical method for DNA, nucleoli were visualized by cytochemical methods for the demonstration of RNA and silver stainable proteins including those of interphase silver stained nucleolus organizer regions (AgNORs). In most cells ALA-based photodynamic treatment (PDT) produced marked alterations such as formation of apoptotic bodies, and large condensation of nuclear chromatin structure but without nuclear segmentation. Such changes are in harmony with the apoptotic process induced in these cells but without previous terminal differentiation. In nucleoli ALA-based PDT produced the reduction and disappearance of nucleolar silver stainable particles (SSPs) representing AgNORs which apparently reflected the alteration of the nucleolar biosynthetic activity and cell proliferation. The latter is also reflected by the disappearance of mitotic divisions. On the other hand, a small subpopulation of cells was less sensitive or resistant to the ALA-based PDE since they did not show mentioned nuclear and nucleolar alterations.

Abstract
The fascinating structures of naturally occurring porphyrins and metalloporphyrins have been perfected by nature to give functional dyes par excellence. The important roles these tetrapyrrolic macrocycles play in vital biological processes, in particular photosynthesis (chlorophyll), oxygen transport (hemoglobin), oxygen activation (cytochrome), have led to their characterization as 'pigments of life'. Because porphyrins possess extended π-electron systems and exhibit stability, they are finding use, to an increasing extent, in advanced materials, as components in organic metals, molecular wires, and other devices. In medicine, porphyrins are experiencing a renaissance due to the advent of photodynamic therapy of great promise in the treatment of cancer and dermatological diseases. The interdisciplinary interest porphyrins thus generate has provided the impetus to develop Novel-porphyrin like molecules anticipated to exhibit special properties, by structural variation of the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle, while maintaining a (4n+2)π main conjugation pathway.In addition to their esoteric application in science, porphyrins have been shown to have profound implications for therapeutic purposes. Their photosensitizing properties have led to their utilization in photodynamic therapy. Certain metalloporphyrins such as SnPP are being tested as drugs for the treatment of neonatal jaundice. Metalloporphyrins are serving as SOD mimetics to combat oxidative stress and a range of metalloporphyrin complexes have been proposed as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract
We investigated the amounts of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) accumulated in noninduced cells and following 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-induction. Following ALA administration PpIX increased in all leukemic cell lines under investigation (HEL 26-fold, HL60 6-fold, Jurkat 3-fold, ML2 2-fold) but not in lymphocytes. Compared to other cell lines studied, HEL cells showed the lowest basal level of PpIX and the largest relative increase in PpIX. Despite a high increase following ALA treatment, the PpIX level in HEL cells is almost as low as in lymphocytes. It is in agreement with their relatively low sensitivities of ALA-induced photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) shown previously [(Grebenová, D., Cajthamlová, H., Bartosová, J., Marinov, J., Klamová, H., Fuchs, O., Hrkal, Z., 1998. Selective destruction of leukemic cells by photo-activation of 5-aminolevulinic acid induced protoporphyrin IX. J. Photochem. Photobiol. B: Biol. 47, 74-81)]. The ferrochelatase activities in the individual cell lines are in good inverse correlation with PpIX amounts accumulated in the ALA-induced cells, but not with the relative increase (ratio) of PpIX levels from basal to ALA-induced ones. This is most apparent in HEL cells and lymphocytes. There is probably different regulation of heme biosynthesis in erythroid cells, which are therefore not suitable for the studies of ALA-PDT mechanism. PpIX was accumulated more extensively in absence of fetal calf serum than in its presence. The amounts of PpIX accumulated in cells decreased exponentially with increasing fetal calf serum concentration.

Abstract
Using two-dimensional electrophoresis we investigated the effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT; induction with 1 mM ALA for 4 h followed by blue light dose of 18 J/cm2) on the protein expression in HL60 leukemia cells. ALA-PDT resulted in extensive qualitative and quantitative changes in the protein pattern of HL60 cell lysates. Of more than 1350 protein spots recognized on the protein maps of ALA-induced cells, seven proteins were enhanced and 17 suppressed following irradiation. Three of these, calreticulin precursor, p58 microsomal protein (ERp57) and protein disulfide isomerase (p55) have been identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization-mass spectrometry and the pI/molecular weight parameters of the affected proteins were estimated by computer analysis. The findings suggest participation of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-binding chaperones and/or Ca2+ signaling in ALA-PDT mediated cytotoxicity.
