PHOTODYNAMIC EFFECT OF HEMATOPORPHYRIN DERIVATIVE (HPD) ON MITOCHONDRIA AND SUCCINATE DEHYDROGENASE OF HUMAN GASTRIC CANCER CELLS IN DIFFERENT PHASES OF CELL CYCEL / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

Synchronous cells in different phase (G_1, S, G_2, M) of cell cycle were obtained from human gastric low-differentiated mucous adenocarcinoma cells (MGC 80-3), which werec ultured with nitrous oxide under high pressure and blocked with overdosage of TdR. Dynamic changes of the mitochondria stained with Rhodamine-123 and succinate dehydrogenase demonstrated by cytochemical method were observed in various phase of the cells at 0, 24, 36, 60 hours after treatment with HPD plus red light. The results showed that mitochonodria of all four phases are of impairment immediately after photoradiation, SDH reactivity is decreased slightly at 24 hours, the activities of SDH is the weakest. As time goes on, we observed that mitochondria gradually recovered to its original structure and then SDH returned to its normal level. The recovery rate of mitochondria and SDH was in the following order, i. e. S, G_1, G_2, andM. The relationship between these changes and cell killing is briefly discussed.
