Gefitinib enhances the efficacy of photodynamic therapy using 5-aminolevulinic acid in malignant brain tumor cells
چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryBackgroundSince the ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2 plays a physiologically significant role of porphyrin efflux from living cells, the expression of ABCG2 may influences the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this study, we evaluated the effect of gefitinib, a potent ABCG2 inhibitor, on 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-PDT in brain tumor cell lines in vitro.Materials and methodsFour human glioma cell lines (U87MG, U118MG, A172, and T98G) and a malignant meningioma cell line (IOMM-Lee) were incubated with gefitinib (0.01–1.0 μM) before incubation with 5-ALA (1 mM). The effects gefitinib on intracellular protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), mRNA and protein expression of ABCG2, and PDT were evaluated, in vitro.ResultsAt concentrations of 0.1 μM or higher, gefitinib enhanced intracellular levels of PpIX in a dose-dependent manner in all those cell lines. Gefitinib decreased mRNA and plasma membrane protein expression of ABCG2, and efficiently enhanced the effect of 5-ALA-PDT in malignant brain tumor cells.ConclusionGefitinib can inhibit ABCG2-mediated PpIX efflux from malignant brain tumor cells to increase the intracellular PpIX and thereby enhance the PDT effect.
