  3. Protoporphyrin IX

Protoporphyrin IX is a final intermediate in the heme biosynthetic pathway, which acts as a radiation sensitizer enhancing ROS generation even in a hypoxic state and inducing DNA damage. Protoporphyrin IX also acts as a photo sensitizer undergoing photobleaching that occurs through direct degradation by light irradiation. Protoporphyrin IX is formed and accumulated following 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) (HY-W000450) administration in the tumor cells of rats. Protoporphyrin IX causes selective improvement of basal cell carcinoma when activated red fluorescence of a peak wavelength at 405 nm. Protoporphyrin IX is promising for research of sonodynamic and photodynamic agents for a wide range of cancers, such as bladder cancer and nodular basal cell carcinoma.

    In Vitro

    Aminolevulinic acid (HY-W000450) (40 mg/kg, p.o., a single dose) produces full-thickness Protoporphyrin IX fluorescence in the five superficial, nodular and morpheaform basal cell carcinoma[3].
    Protoporphyrin IX (3.6 nmol/g tissue) tissue can cause necrosis in normal rat colonic mucosa on exposure to light[4].
    Protoporphyrin IX (6.6 nmol/g tumor) delays tumor growth after irradiation of a tumor in rats[4].
    Protoporphyrin IX (0-25 μM, 2 h) rapidly results in increased nuclear G4 levels in Hela cells[5].

    Immunofluorescence[3]

    Cell Line: Basal cell carcinoma
    Concentration:
    Incubation Time: 4-6 h
    Result: Protoporphyrin IX fluorescence was greater at the periphery of large tumor lobules than in the center and smaller lobules fluoresced uniformly in nodular tumors.
    In Vivo

    The highest level of Protoporphyrin IX (approximately 6.3 nmol/g tissue) is found in rat liver and intestine, followed by aorta (4.3 nmol/g tissue) and oesophagus (2.1 nmol/g tissue), 3 h after Aminolevulinic acid (300 mg/kg, i.v., a single dose) administration[4].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
