PG - 102737 LID - S1572-1000(22)00026-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.102737 [doi] AB - PLGA (Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles are a new trend for drug delivery due to their good biodegradability properties. In this study, we have synthesized PLGA nanoparticles by solvent evaporation method and loaded decarbazine (DTIC, 5-3,3-(dimethyl-ltriazeno)imidazole-4-carboxamide) and photosense (AlPc4) drug alone as well as combined with two different concentrations i-e 25 nM and 250 nM. No cytotoxicity (viability approximately 100%) was observed for different treatment arms either alone or in co-delivery of nano-formulation for Rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell culture which showed the biocompatibility of carrier. On comparison, the Photodynamic therapy (PDT) alone showed more significant cell death then the combinational therapy (PDT + chemotherapy) at 2 joule /cm(2) and 5 joule /cm(2). Lower doses co-delivery showed light dose dependent toxicity to culture i.e., 0% death @ 2 joule /cm(2), approximately 40% death @ 5 joule /cm(2). Gene expressions of four apoptosis related genes (CASP3, CASP9, PARP1 and P53) were quantified by RT-PCR which shows down regulation for all the treatment arms indicating the absence of apoptosis for the cell death during PDT and combinational therapy. It was concluded that apoptosis related genes were down-regulated and morphological changes i.e., swelling and disruption suggest that the mode of cell death was necrosis. CI - Copyright (c) 2022.
