Abstract: | Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), danger signal molecules expressed after injury or infection, have become recognized
as prerequisite for orchestrating effective anti-tumor host response. The expression of two prototypical DAMPs, calreticulin
and high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) protein, was examined following Photofrin™-photodynamic therapy (PDT) of Lewis lung
carcinoma (LLC) cells in vitro and LLC tumors growing in syngeneic mice. Cell surface expression of calreticulin was found
to be highly increased at 1 h after PDT treatment both in vitro and in vivo. Increased exposure of calreticulin was also detected
on the surface of macrophages from PDT-treated LLC tumors. At the same time interval, a rise in serum HMGB1 was detected in
host mice. Intracellular staining of macrophages co-incubated for 16 h with PDT-treated LLC cells revealed elevated levels
of HMGB1 in these cells. The knowledge of the involvement of these DAMPs uncovers important mechanistic insights into the
development of host response induced by PDT. |
