Photodiagnosis and photodynamic therapy 2024 AugChordoma is a rare congenital low-grade malignant tumor characterized by infiltrative growth. It often tends to compress important intracranial nerves and blood vessels, making its surgical treatment extremely difficult. Besides, the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is limited. The photosensitizer hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) can emit red fluorescence under 405 nm excitation and produce reactive oxygen species for tumor therapy under 630 nm excitation. Herein, we investigated the effects of the photosensitizer hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) on different cell lines of chordoma and xenograft tumors under 405 nm and 630 nm excitation. The photosensitizer hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) and Two different chordoma cell lines (U-CH1, JHC7) were used for the test. The in vitro experiments were as follows: (1) the fluorescence intensity emitted by chordoma cells excited by different 405 nm light intensities was observed under a confocal microscope; (2) the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was performed to detect the effects of different photosensitizer concentrations and 630 nm light energy densities on the activity of chordoma cells. In the in vivo experiments, (3) Fluorescence visualization of chordoma xenograft tumors injected with photosensitizer via tail vein under 405 nm excitation; (4) Impact of 630 nm excitation of photosensitizer on the growth of chordoma xenograft tumors. (1) The photosensitizers in chordoma cells and chordoma xenografts of nude mice were excited by 405 nm to emit red fluorescence; (2) 630 nm excitation photosensitizer reduces chordoma cell activity and inhibits chordoma xenograft tumor growth in chordoma nude mice. Photodynamic techniques mediated by the photosensitizer hematoporphyrin derivatives can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of chordoma. Copyright © 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
