| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Malignant glioma is a poor prognosis cancer despite of multidisciplinary treatment such as aggressive surgery and chemoradiotherapy. Thus there has been a need for new therapeutic approaches to control deeply migrated tumor cells. For this aim, we investigated the efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) using sonosensitizers including 5-aminolevulinic acid, protoporphyrinⅨ, and talaporfin sodium on glioma cells. These substances have been known to be accumulated in glioma cell and are expected to have cytotoxic effect by sonication. Our in vitro study demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of sonication on glioma cells was enhanced by each sonosensitizers. And induction of apoptosis was suggested to be a major mechanism of cell death. While the efficacy of SDT may be depend on the degree of intracellular accumulation of sonosensitizer. Though further investigations will be necessary, our preliminary result showed a potential of STD with sonosensitizers for glioma treatment.
