The effect of differentiation on photosensitizer uptake by HL60 cells.
    Photochemistry and photobiology, 1993, Volume: 58, Issue:5

    The capability of human promyelocytic leukemia cells HL60 to be induced to differentiate to various stages along the monocytic or myelocytic pathway was exploited for investigation of the uptake of selected photosensitizers by diverse types of cells of the same origin. The results showed that there was no substantial difference in photofrin uptake between noninduced HL60 cells, immature monocytes, immature neutrophils and cells differentiated along the eosinophilic pathway. In contrast, HL60 cells differentiated into macrophages (HL60 phi) exhibited markedly increased photofrin uptake, which was further enhanced by their pretreatment with bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Similar results were obtained with other photosensitizers tested: di- and tetrasulfonated aluminum phthalocyanines (A1PcS2 and A1PcS4), tetrasulfonated zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPcS4), tetraphenylporphine tetrasulfonate (TPPS4) and benzoporphyrin derivative monoacid (BPD). Despite marked differences in the state of self-aggregation and other chemical properties of these compounds, the degree of their preferential uptake by HL60 phi cells showed very little variation. In a typical experiment, the uptake of these photosensitizers by HL60 phi cells was four to five times higher than the uptake by noninduced HL60 cells. In addition to the fluorometric assay employed in most of the experiments, cellular concentration of A1PcS4 was determined by measurement of elementary aluminum using atomic absorption spectroscopy.
