Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment utilizing the generation of singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species (ROS), which selectively accumulated in target cells. Genistein, soy-derived phytoestrogen, is one of the anticancer agents found in soybean. In the current study, we investigated the effect of photofrin-induced PDT and genistein on apoptotic cell death in head and neck cell line (AMC-HN3) to confirm the photodynamic therapy of genistein. It was determined by MTT assay that the combination group had more cytotoxicity effect than PDT group alone. Combination of photofrin PDT and genistein induced apoptosis more when comparing with PDT alone. Our data also showed that ROS was increased in combination therapy, indicating apoptosis by mitochondrial damage. These results indicated that the combination of photofrin PDT and genistein showed more cytotoxic effect and induced apoptosis in head and neck cancer cell line.
