dc.description.abstractTriple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the subtypes of breast cancer characterized by a heterogeneous and aggressive nature. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has drawn significant attention in cancer treatment. However, solubility of photosensitizer, penetration problems into a target tissue and insufficient oxygen concentration limit the effectiveness of PDT. To overcome these limitations and to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, combination treatment modalities play an essential role in cancer treatment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the combination efficacy of cisplatin-based chemotherapy and 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)/PDT in TNBC cells and healthy breast cells in vitro. To determine the effect of the combination effects of cisplatin and 5-ALA/PDT on TNBC cells, two treatment protocols (simultaneous and sequential combination therapy) were evaluated compared with cisplatin and 5-ALA/PDT monotherapy and WST-1, Annexin V assay, acridine orange (AO) and mitochondrial staining were performed. Our findings showed that MDA-MB-231 TNBC cell viability was significantly decreased following simultaneous combination treatment compared to cisplatin and 5-ALA/PDT monotherapy. Additionally, simultaneous combination treatment was more effective than sequential combination treatment. The simultaneous combination treatment of 2.5 mu M cisplatin and 5-ALA/PDT at 6 J/cm2 and 9 J/cm2 induced 46.78% and 53.6% total apoptotic death, respectively in TNBC cells compared with monotherapies (cisplatin (37.88%) and 5-ALA/PDT (6 J/cm2: 31.48% and 9 J/cm2: 37.78%). Additionally, cisplatin and 5-ALA/PDT combination treatment resulted in nuclear fragmentation and mitochondrial damage due to apoptosis. Our results suggest that cisplatin and 5-ALA/PDT simultaneous combination therapy could be a promising new alternative strategy for treating TNBC. However, further studies are required to assess the underlying molecular mechanisms of cisplatin and 5-ALA/PDT combination treatment at the molecular level.
