description The aim of present study was to investigate an antitumor efficacy of multiple-field interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) in vivo. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 15 white random-bred rats with subcutaneously transplanted cholangiocellular carcinoma RS-1. Chlorine-based photosensitizer (PS) Ce6CPPPS was administered via single injection at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg into the animal’s caudal vein. Photoirradiation (PI) of tumors was carried out 3 h after PS administration using 7 optical fibers SMA-905 with diode laser with 660 ± 5 nm wavelength at exposure doses of 150 and 300 J/cm²with 0.21 W/cm²fluency rate. The total power density was 360 mW and treatment time was 12 and 24 min. Antitumor efficacy of iPDT was assessed by evaluation of necrosis areas and depth of necrosis in experimental tumors. Results: The results have shown that interstitial PI with multi-field low power density enhanced the antitumor effect of PDT in the RS-1 model. Necrosis areas in tumor tissues after PI with exposure doses 150 and 300 J/cm²24 h and 96 h after treatment were 83.78 ± 4.25 and 100% (p = 0.00074); 56.79 ± 3.24 and 95.46 ± 1.64% (p < 0.00001), respectively.

Conclu- sion: An analysis of the literature data and the results obtained in this study evidence on high effectiveness of the method of multiple-field. Key Words: multiple-field interstitial photodynamic therapy, photosensitizer, cholangiocellular carcinoma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a modern and highly effective option in the treatment of malignant tumors of the skin, lung, bladder, brain, pancreas and other localiza- tions [1–3]. PDT is a treatment method based on the significant increase of the cytotoxicity of drugs with photo- irradiation (PI) of the tumor tissue. According to numerous studies, photochemical reactions include a direct interac- tion of excited molecules with the help of PI, photosensi- tizer (PS) on the substrate and forming transient radicals that react with oxygen. Interaction initiates a complex cas- cade of free radicals, such as singlet oxygen (1O2), hydroxyl radical (OH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion radical (O2 –), causing the development of oxidative stress syndrome. As a result, PDT effectively induces tumor-cell apoptosis and necrosis (Necr). The two pos- sible mechanisms might be: a) promoting mitochondria to release cytochrome C and activate caspase-3, then to initiate apoptosis; b) destroying microvessels, inhibition of angiogenesis and the induction of ische mia and anoxia of tumor cells, resulting in ischemic Necr [2, 4, 5]. PDT has rarely been used clinically in the treatment of liver tumors, mainly because of effective accumula- tion of PS in liver tissue [6, 7]. Distribution studies show that PS are accumulated in high amounts in reticulo- endothelial tissue, such as liver, spleen, and kidney, and in particular, liver tissue contains high PS levels after its administration [8, 9]. Therefore, superficial tumor PI causes substantial liver Necr. The limited light penetra- tion during superficial illumination makes it impossible to treat deep-seated or larger solid tumors. In order to prevent possible complications, research teams recommended the use of an interstitial type of PI of liver tumors. The ability of interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) to cause a destruction of liver tumors has been demon- strated in in vitro [10–12] and in vivo [13–15] studies, using hematoporphyrin, photofrin, meta-tetra(hydroxyphenyl) chlorine (mTHPC) and other photosensitizing agents. In the present study, we investigated the effects of Ce6CPPPS-mediated PDT using multi-field intersti- tial PI on subcutaneously transplanted cholangiocel- lular carcinoma RS-1 in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experimental animals. The study was con- ducted on 15 white randomly bred rats of both sexes (220 ± 40 g) obtained from the vivarium of N.N. Ale- xandrov National Cancer Center of Belarus. The animals received a standard diet and had permanent access to water. All manipulations were carried out according to Methodic instructions for carrying out preclinical investigations of the pharmacokinetics of pharmaco- logic substances and drugs presented in the “Good Laboratory Practice TKP 125-2008” (Health Ministry of Republic Belarus, Minsk). Animal experiments were performed according to the Rules of Ethic Commit- tee. Before treatment, animals were anesthetized by intramuscular introduction of a solution of droperidol (5.0 mg/kg) and fentanil (0.05 mg/kg). Experimental tumor model. As experimental tumor model, we used rat cholangiocellular carcinoma RS-1. RS-1 induced in rats with acetylaminefluorene in 1956 was identified as hepatocholangioma and was maintained by subcutaneous transplantation [16]. Be- fore the treatment, the animals were anesthetized and immobilized. For experiments, tumor homogenate was implanted subcutaneously into the left inguinal area by the injection of 0.5 ml of 20% tumor cells suspen- sion in 0.6% Hank’s solution. The experiments were performed 39–40 days after tumor implantation with tumor diameter reaching 40–50 mm.

Interstitial photodynamic therapy. PI of tumors was carried out 3 h after PS administration using diode laser with 660 ± 5 nm wavelength (“PDT Diode laser”, Minsk, Republic Belarus) at exposure doses of 150 and 300 J/cm² with 0.21 W/cm² fluency rate. The total power density was 360 mW and treatment time was 12 and 24 min. 7 optical fibers SMA-905 (“Fotonika Plus”, Ukraine) for PI were introduced into the tumor at a distance of 1 cm from each other at a depth of 1–1.5 cm (Fig. 1).

The animals were sac- rificed by chloroform; the tumors were removed, fixed in 10% formalin solution and frozen. Transverse tumor sections 2–3 mm thick were made. NecrA due to di- rect effect on tumor cells or structural and functional disorders in microcirculation remained unstained. The percentage of tumor necrotic unstained parts was evaluated using “ImageJ” (NIH, Bethesda, USA). Statistical processing of the results. The values obtained were processed using standard statistical methods of Origin Stat 7.0 software. Statistical signifi- cance of differences was relevant at p < 0.05. RESULTS Early post-treatment changes. In the study, the sensitivity of subcutaneously implanted RS-1 to iPDT was investigated. According to our findings, all animals subjected to iPDT at an exposure dose 300 J/cm2 pre- sented the necrotic changes of maximal size (100%). In the control group, this index showing the emergence of spontaneous central Necr was insignificant (14.88 ± 4.33%). Post-treatment necrotic changes after iPDT were assessed using the vital staining technique with Evans blue. Fig. 3 shows the data on NecrA in histotopographic sections of RS-1 in untreated control and 24 h after iPDT at the exposure doses of 150 and 300 J/cm2. Fig. 4 shows the data on NecrA in histotopographic sections of RS-1 in untreated control and 96 h after iPDT at the exposure doses of 150 and 300 J/cm2. Percentage of Necr in groups of animals treated with iPDT at the exposure doses of 150 and 300 J/cm2 24 and 96 h after treatment is shown in Table 2. Depth of tumor Necr in groups of animals treated with iPDT at exposure doses of 150 and 300 J/cm2 24 and 96 h after treatment is shown in Table 3. Fig. 2.

The results obtained suggest that iPDT with multi-field low power density PI enhances the effect on the RS-1 rats tumor model. The use of exposure dose of 300 J/cm2 sig- nificantly increases NecrA in tumor tissues compared with 150 J/cm2 24 h (p = 0.00074) and 96 h (p < 0.00001). DISCUSSION Malignant primary and metastatic liver tumors are a serious problem for modern oncology. The main treatment for this type of tumors is surgical removal and chemotherapy. In spite of obvious achievements of the medical science of the last decades, the results of treat- ment of patients with liver tumors remain disappointing. With poor prognosis, development of new therapeutic modalities is desirable, especially for patients with non- resectable, non-transplantable, or recurrent liver tumors. Local tumor ablation therapies such as radiofrequency ablation, ethanol injection, cryotherapy, and PDT are potentially useful palliative approaches. iPDT is an effec- tive and promising method of treatment of liver tumors. At the moment, we found only a few articles, confirm- ing the effectiveness of iPDT in the treatment of primary and metastatic liver tumors in laboratory animals [13, 14]. Experimental studies, using hematoporphyrin derivative and photofrin, have shown iPDT to be capable of inducing tumor destruction within the liver, despite limitations like non-selective uptake and limited light penetration [13]. van Hillegersberg et al. [13] reported about high antitumor efficacy of iPDT (λ = 625 nm; 200 mW/cm2; 100–1600 J) with intravenously administered photofrin at a dose of 5 mg/kg in the treatment of colon carcinoma CC531, implanted in liver of Wag/Rij rats. The NecrA in the tumor and surrounding normal liver tissues depended on the absorbed dose of PI and increased with its increase (p < 0.001). The authors noted that application of an ex- posure dose of 800 J allows to achieve complete regres- sion of tumors in 66.7% of animals. The authors have proved the fact that the use of iPDT allows achieving a good therapeutic results with a minimal risk of damage to normal liver tissues. Rovers et al. [14] performed iPDT (λ = 652 nm, 0.1 W, 15 J) with intravenously administered of mTHPC at a dose 0.3 mg/kg of body weight on Wag/Rij rats with metastatic liver orthotopic model CC531 colon adenocarcinoma. Authors reported that iPDT resulted in complete tumor remission in 87% of animals [14]. van Duijnhoven et al. [17] investigated effects of iPDT (λ = 652 nm, 200 mW, 16 J/сm2) with mTHPC (0.3 mg/kg) on liver metastases of orthotopic model of CC531 colon adenocarcinoma. Authors reported that iPDT was effec- tive in causing photodynamically-induced photochemical Necr of tumors, but it did not affect the growth rate of no- nilluminated tumors in the liver.

Otake et al. [15] published the results of their study on the efficacy of iPDT (λ = 630 nm, 160 mW, 47–90 J/cm2) with 5-ALA at a dose of 500 mg/kg ad- ministered intravenously 3 h before PI in the treatment of chemically induced hepatocellular carcinoma in rats. The authors concluded that in all treated tumors, Necr was evident at 24 h after 5ALA-iPDT [15]. Several teams of scientists made successful attempts for the clinical testing of iPDT for patients with unresectable primary and metastatic malignant liver tumors [6, 7]. Vogl et al. [7] presented the results of several phase I clinical trials based on the use of iPDT in the treatment of the liver metastases. In the first study authors reported about 5 patients with liver metastasis of colorectal cancer treated with PS SQN 400 (mTHPBC) at a dose of 6 mg/kg and PI (λ = 740 nm; 60 J/cm2) 120 h after SQN 400 admi nistration. Depending on the location and size of lesions, the authors have used from 4 to 7 special fibers installed in the tumor site under the center CT control. After 3 months in all cases CT study recorded photodynamically-induced Necr with no evi- dence of damage to the normal liver parenchyma, and after 6 months in 50% of the metastases continued growth was not revealed [7]. In the second study, the authors have included 4 patients with liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (n = 3) and melanoma (n = 1). PS LS 11 (Talaporfin sodium) was injected intravenously at a standard dose of 40.0 mg/m2. At 4 h post-injection, a tumor was pho- toirradiated with a “PDT laser” with 25 mm optical fibers (λ = 630 nm; 400 mW/cm2; 100 J/cm2). The average size of Necr, confirmed the results of CT studies, was 14 mm. At the control observation after 6 weeks in 2 cases com- plete regression of tumor was recorded [7]. However, a moderate number of studies in this field points on the need for further research to determine antitumor efficacy of iPDT in the treatment of this pathol- ogy. In further experimental studies, we plan to study the antitumor efficacy of iPDT in the treatment of other tumor strains. If positive results will be obtained, we will be able to recommend the developed method for approbation in clinical oncology. REFERENCES 1. Photodynamic therapy. Methods and protocols. Gomer CJ, ed.

The aim of present study was to investigate an antitumor efficacy of multiple-field interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) in vivo. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 15 white random-bred rats with subcutaneously transplanted cholangiocellular carcinoma RS-1. Chlorine-based photosensitizer (PS) Ce6CPPPS was administered via single injection at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg into the animal’s caudal vein. Photoirradiation (PI) of tumors was carried out 3 h after PS administration using 7 optical fibers SMA-905 with diode laser with 660 ± 5 nm wavelength at exposure doses of 150 and 300 J/cm²with 0.21 W/cm²fluency rate. The total power density was 360 mW and treatment time was 12 and 24 min. Antitumor efficacy of iPDT was assessed by evaluation of necrosis areas and depth of necrosis in experimental tumors. Results: The results have shown that interstitial PI with multi-field low power density enhanced the antitumor effect of PDT in the RS-1 model. Necrosis areas in tumor tissues after PI with exposure doses 150 and 300 J/cm²24 h and 96 h after treatment were 83.78 ± 4.25 and 100% (p = 0.00074); 56.79 ± 3.24 and 95.46 ± 1.64% (p < 0.00001), respectively. Conclusion: An analysis of the literature data and the results obtained in this study evidence on high effectiveness of the method of multiple-field.
