Mitochondrial alterations in photodynamic therapy-resistant cells.

Abstract

The characterization of radiation-induced fibrosarcoma cells (RIF-8A) which have been selected for resistance to Photofrin-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) is detailed in this report. Morphological and functional assessment of mitochondria in both the resistant RIF-8A and parental RIF-1 cells show distinct differences. Electron micrographs show that the mitochondria in the RIF-8A cells are relatively smaller; stain more densely, and display …
