| pubmed-article:12446180 | pubmed:abstractText | Photodynamic therapy (PDT), as a novel treatment modality, is based on the use of a photosensitizing agent with an excitation light source for the treatment of various malignancies. Its effect is mediated through reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide (NO), which are shown to be present in apoptosis. Individual differences among patients and even in different areas of the same tumor in one patient may cause a major problem with PDT: dose calculation during application of the light. An electrochemical sensor is proposed for online monitoring of NO generation as a solution of this problem. 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was administered as the photosensitizer in rat cerebellum. An amperometric sensor, selective to NO, was designed and tested both in vitro and in vivo during PDT. ALA-mediated PDT resulted in rapid generation of NO, starting as early as the application of light on the tissue. Simultaneous amperometric recordings have been carried out for 5 min during PDT. The progressive increase in NO concentration peaked at 1.10 min and then the response current began to decrease until it reached a plateau at around 70% of its peak value. This study, for the first time, electrochemically demonstrates the generation of NO during PDT. Rapid and stable responses obtained by the experimental setup confirmed that this method could be used as an online monitoring system for PDT-mediated apoptosis. | lld:pubmed |
