Benefits of nanoencapsulation for the hypericin-mediated photodetection and photodynamic therapy of ovarian micrometastases
Ovarian cancer is the fourth most frequent cause of cancer-related death in women in the United States. The currently recommended treatment is a combination of surgery followed by chemotherapy. However, ovarian cancer is characterized by the development of peritoneal micrometastases. These latter, hardly detectable by conventional method, are therefore suboptimally treated by standard surgery. ...
متن کاملHypericin in the Dark: Foe or Ally in Photodynamic Therapy?
Photosensitizers (PSs) in photodynamic therapy (PDT) are, in most cases, administered systemically with preferential accumulation in malignant tissues; however, exposure of non-malignant tissues to PS may also be clinically relevant, when PS molecules affect the pro-apoptotic cascade without illumination. Hypericin (Hyp) as PS and its derivatives have long been studied, regarding their photodyn...
متن کاملHypericin-photodynamic therapy induces human umbilical vein endothelial cell apoptosis.
The conventional photosensitizers used in photodynamic therapy (PDT), such as haematoporphyrin (HP), have not yet reached satisfactory therapeutic effects on port-wine stains (PWSs), due largely to the long-term dark toxicity. Previously we have showed that hypericin exhibited potent photocytotoxic effects on Roman chicken cockscomb model of PWSs. However, the molecular mechanism of hypericin-m...
متن کاملPhotodynamic Therapy with Hypericin Improved by Targeting HSP90 Associated Proteins
In this study we have focused on the response of SKBR-3 cells to both single 17-DMAG treatment as well as its combination with photodynamic therapy with hypericin. Low concentrations of 17-DMAG without any effect on survival of SKBR-3 cells significantly reduced metabolic activity, viability and cell number when combined with photodynamic therapy with hypericin. Moreover, IC10 concentation of 1...
متن کاملThe diverse roles of glutathione-associated cell resistance against hypericin photodynamic therapy
The diverse responses of different cancers to treatments such as photodynamic therapy of cancer (PDT) have fueled a growing need for reliable predictive markers for treatment outcome. In the present work we have studied the differential response of two phenotypically and genotypically different breast adenocarcinoma cell lines, MCF7 and MDA-MB-231, to hypericin PDT (HYP-PDT). MDA-MB-231 cells w...
