Low dose of GRP78-targeting subtilase cytotoxin improves the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in vivo
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exerts direct cytotoxic effects on tumor cells, destroys tumor blood and lymphatic vessels and induces local inflammation. Although PDT triggers the release of immunogenic antigens from tumor cells, the degree of immune stimulation is regimen-dependent. The highest immunogenicity is achieved at sub-lethal doses, which at the same time trigger cytoprotective responses,...
متن کاملEfficacy of Multiple Low-dose Photodynamic Therapy in Nude Mice Implanted with Cervical Cancer
In recent years, although the widespread screening of cervical cancer, especially the systemic use of the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear (Cronje, 2005), cervical cancer remains the second most common cause of death from cancer in women worldwide (Sreejata et al., 2012), China accounts for 29% of the 51,000,000 new cases of cervical cancer each year (Kim et al., 2009). But due to cervical cancer scree...
متن کاملDaylight-mediated photodynamic therapy in Spain: advantages and disadvantages.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an option for the treatment of actinic keratosis, Bowen disease, and certain types of basal cell carcinoma. It is also used to treat various other types of skin condition, including inflammatory and infectious disorders. The main disadvantages of PDT are the time it takes to administer (both for the patient and for health professionals) and the pain associated with...
متن کاملNanoscopic micelle delivery improves the photophysical properties and efficacy of photodynamic therapy of protoporphyrin IX.
Nanodelivery systems have shown considerable promise in increasing the solubility and delivery efficiency of hydrophobic photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications. In this study, we report the preparation and characterization of polymeric micelles that incorporate protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), a potent photosensitizer, using non-covalent encapsulation and covalent conjugation met...
متن کاملDaylight photodynamic therapy for actinic keratosis: an international consensus: International Society for Photodynamic Therapy in Dermatology.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an attractive therapy for non-melanoma skin cancers including actinic keratoses (AKs) because it allows treatment of large areas; it has a high response rate and results in an excellent cosmesis. However, conventional PDT for AKs is associated with inconveniently long clinic visits and discomfort during therapy. In this article, we critically review daylight-mediat...
