Abstract

A combination of mass spectrometric techniques was used for identification of HL60 leukemia cell proteins affected by 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT). We compared two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) protein maps of ALA-treated non-irradiated and irradiated cells and found extensive changes in the proteome of HL60 cells. The silver-stained 2-DE pattern of HL60 proteins contained more than 1 350 spots. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry and microcapillary liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry have identified twelve proteins differing in their intensity or position following ALA-PDT. Several endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial, ribosomal and cytoplasmic proteins were determined showing the impact of ALA-PDT-mediated cytotoxicity on some cellular pathways.
