Aim of the study was to determine the immune effect of PDT with hypericin (HY-PDT) used in sublethal doses on the secretion of Interleukin 8 and 10 by experimental models of residual colon cancer cells in vitro.
Results HY-PDT amplified the secretion of IL-8 by SW620 cell line, but the decrease of IL-8 secreted by the SW480 cell line. The increase in secretion of IL-10 was noticed in the SW480 cell line, but the changes of secretion IL-10 by SW 620 was not noted. SW480 cell line without PDT secreted higher levels of IL-8 and IL-10 than SW620 cells.
Based on these research findings it could be told, that PDT both eliminates and control primary tumors using cytotoxic effect while HY-PDT at lower doses can modulate function of tumor microenvironment by releasing interleukins depended on metastatic activity of tumor cells.
