Abstract

Various microscopic techniques were used to study the dependency of photodynamically induced subcellular reactions on the metabolic state of cell cultures. TPPS₄ and AlS_2-3Pc were incubated in RR 1022 epithelial cells with varying cell density. To attain almost isolated cells (low cell density) or confluent growing cells (high cell density) 25 cells/mm² or 500 cells/mm² were seeded, respectively. Low cell density irradiation with blue light led to a change in the initial cytoplasmatic fluorescence pattern. For both sensitizers, TPPS₄ as well as AlS_2-3, a fluorescence relocalization and fluorescence intensity increase could be detected, moreover in the case of TPPS₄ a fluorescence formation in the nucleus and nucleoli were detected. In contrast, for confluent growing cells no redistribution was observed.
