Radiation Therapy Combined With 5-Aminolevulinic Acid: Effect on Primary Human Meningioma Cells
Aims
Radiation therapy (RT) is a standard treatment for certain meningiomas; however, it does not consistently achieve favorable favourable outcomes. Therefore, discovering new agents that can enhance the radiosensitivity of meningiomas is of considerable interest. Evidence suggests that 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) acts both as a photosensitiszer and a radiosensitiszer. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining 5-ALA with RT on primary meningioma cells, which were obtained from eight patients during surgery.
Methods
Primary meningioma cells were characterized by immunocytochemistry using specific markers. Cell proliferation following treatment with 5-ALA, with or without RT, was evaluated using the WST-1 assay. Accumulation of protoporphyrin IX was evaluated fluorometrically.
Results
Our in vitro investigations indicate that whilste 5-ALA alone reduced cell proliferation, the combination of 5-ALA and RT resulted in more pronounced cell growth inhibition. The cytotoxic doses of 5-ALA markedly varied amongst cells from different meningioma patients. Furthermore, the study revealed that 5-ALA effectively induced the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX, a highly pro-apoptotic and fluorescent photosensitiszer, within the meningioma cells.
Conclusion
Our data suggest that 5-ALA significantly enhances the antitumor antitumour effects of RT, offering a new option for further exploration of 5-ALA combined with RT as a valuable strategy for meningioma treatment.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Oncology is an International cancer journal covering all aspects of the clinical management of cancer patients, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to therapy. Papers, editorials and reviews are published on all types of malignant disease embracing, pathology, diagnosis and treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, combined modality treatment and palliative care. Research and review papers covering epidemiology, radiobiology, radiation physics, tumour biology, and immunology are also published, together with letters to the editor, case reports and book reviews.
