Abstract
Glioma is the most common tumor in the central nervous system, which is often accompanied by poor prognosis. Brain extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in regulating the growth and migration of glioma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been an effective method for the treatment of solid tumors by oxidative modifications in recent years, and ECM may have an impact on the cytotoxicity of photodynamic therapy. In this work, we prepared decellularized brain ECM by chemical method to investigate the influence of the photodynamic effect of glioma C6 cells. Compared with decellularized liver ECM, brain ECM reduces PDT cytotoxicity. By observing the content of reactive oxygen species produced by near-infrared light active indocyanine green in cells, it was found that ECM did not affect the production of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, it is speculated that brain ECM may enhance the oxidative stress adaptability of glioma cells through potential signal regulation, or protect photodynamic targeting biomolecules (such as proteins and other cellular components) from oxidation in PDT mediated by indocyanine green and 808 nm laser in glioma cells.
