Abstract

We investigated the extracellular photosensitization effect on myocardial cells using talaporfin sodium at various irradiance measuring cell lethality dependence on talaporfin sodium concentration and immediate response of intracellular Ca2+ as a fundamental study of the application for tachyarrhythmia treatment. The myocardial cell lethality was measured 2 h after the photosensitization reaction by WST assay varying the irradiance from 0.12 to 0.66 W/cm2. The intracellular Ca2+ of myocardial cell was observed during and until 10 min after the extracellular photosensitization reaction using fluo-4 AM and a confocal microscope varying the irradiance. The linear increasing behavior of the myocardial cell lethality with talaporfin sodium concentration was similarly obtained in the case of 0.12 and 0.29 W/cm2 in irradiance. The photocytotoxicity was not obtained in the case of 0.46 and 0.66 W/cm2 in irradiance. The time response of necrosis occurrence after the beginning of the extracellular photosensitization reaction was decreased with the irradiance increasing. We prospect that it may be caused by oxygen depletion in our in vitro system using 96 well plate since the irradiance and talaporfin sodium concentration were higher comparing the in vitro conditions of the general PDT for cancer.
