Abstract:
:Lymphocytes treated with delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) can accumulate the photoactive, fluorescent heme precursor, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). With visible light illumination, PpIX can be used in photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) to kill or functionally alter cells. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of ALA and ALA-PDT on resting and activated human peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Accumulation of PpIX depends inversely on the rate of its iron-dependent conversion into heme. Activated replicating lymphocytes have low intracellular iron levels, with corresponding increases in the transferrin receptor (CD71). Thus, we expected activated lymphocytes would preferentially accumulate PpIX. Using four-color flow cytometry, we examined ALA-induced PpIX levels in T-cell subsets of resting and activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the relationship between CD71 and PpIX. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) were simultaneously phenotyped for PpIX, CD71 and the T-cell markers CD3 and CD4 or CD8. In activated cells treated with 0-6 mM ALA for 4 h, PpIX fluorescence was maximal at 1 mM ALA. On a single cell basis, there was a strong correlation between PpIX accumulation and CD71 expression. The ALA-treated, PHA-stimulated, CD71+ lymphocytes had an eight-fold greater mean PpIX fluorescence than nonactivated, CD71- cells. Approximately 87% of the CD4+ and 85% of the CD8+ T cells accumulated PpIX. The PpIX levels of CD8+ cells were about 5% greater than CD4+ cells. In addition, mixed lymphocyte reaction-stimulated cells treated with ALA accumulated more PpIX than controls. Thus, activated cells preferentially accumulate endogenous PpIX when exogenous ALA is administered. Cytotoxicity studies showed that the majority of the activated cells following ALA-PDT were killed but resting cells were spared. Also, in examining activation markers by flow cytometry the number of cells that were positive for activation markers CD38 or CD71 dramatically decreased after ALA and light treatment in activated populations. The data suggest a role for ALA-PDT as an immunomodulator or photocytotoxic agent targeting activated lymphocytes.
