Abstract

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive and non-surgical method for lung cancer treatment. Photosensitizers selectively accumulate in tumor tissue and lead to tumor cell death in the presence of oxygen and the proper wavelength of light. This video describes the in vivo anti-tumor efficacy analysis using photosensitizer containing nanoparticles in a tumor-bearing mouse, to determine the phototoxic potential of the photosensitizer.

Protocol

All procedures involving animals have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid-Ceramide (HACE) Solubilize 12.21 mmol of hyaluronic acid (HA) oligomer and 9.77 mmol of tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide (TBA) in 60 ml of double-distilled water (DDW). Stir for 30 min. To synthesize the DS-Y30 linker, dissolve 8.59 mmol of DS-Y30 ceramide and 9.45 mmol of triethylamine in 25 ml …
