Fluorescence-based discrimination of breast cancer cells by direct exposure to 5-aminolevulinic acid.


ABSTRACT: Protoporphyrin IX-fluorescence measurement is a powerful in situ approach for cancer detection after oral/topical administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid. However, this approach has not been clinically established for breast cancer, probably due to insufficient delivery of 5-aminolevulinic acid to the mammary glands. In the present study, we directly exposed breast cancer cells to 5-aminolevulinic acid to assess their discrimination via protoporphyrin IX-fluorescence. Fluorescence intensity (FI) was measured in the human breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 and breast epithelial cell line MCF10A by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. After 5-aminolevulinic acid exposure for 2 hours, protoporphyrin IX-FI in MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells significantly increased with marked cell-to-cell variability, whereas that in MCF10A cells increased moderately. Combined exposure of the cancer cells to 5-aminolevulinic acid and Ko143, a specific inhibitor of ATP-binding cassette transporter G2, further increased protoporphyrin IX-FI and alleviated the cell-to-cell variability in MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, indicating improvement in the reproducibility and accuracy for fluorescence-based cancer detection. The increased FI by combined administration of these two drugs was also demonstrated in cells obtained via fine needle aspiration from mouse xenograft models inoculated with MDA-MB-231 cells. Furthermore, a cutoff value for increased protoporphyrin IX-FI ratio, before and after exposure to these drugs, clearly discriminated between cancer and noncancer cells. Taken together, direct exposure to 5-aminolevulinic acid and Ko143 may be a promising strategy for efficient fluorescence-based detection of breast cancer cells ex vivo using fine needle aspiration.
