Low Dose PDT - Human Cells

ABSTRACT: Human tumour cell lines PC3, DU145, U87 and U373 (prostate carcinoma and glioblastoma) were treated with photosensitizers 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ALA) or photofrin. Then, the cells were irradiated sublethally with 635 nm laser light.
After photodynamic therapy, the cells were grown at 37°C for 4 or 24 hours in the dark until extraction of total RNA and expression profiling.
