Background: The use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with topical aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on large skin surfaces has recently been reported for patients with multiple actinic keratoses. Objective: The current study compared the ability of topical and systemic ALA–PDT as well as topical ALA–PDT with blue light to delay the appearance of UV-induced skin cancer using the hairless mouse as a model. Methods: Groups of hairless mice were exposed daily to UV radiation and weekly to ALA–PDT. Tumor-free survival was compared for mice exposed to UV and treated weekly with ALA–PDT and mice exposed only to UV radiation. Results: Weekly topical or systemic ALA–PDT was able to delay the induction of skin tumors. A significant difference in tumor-free survival was also observed for both actinic keratoses and invasive squamous cell carcinoma in mice treated weekly with topical ALA–PDT performed with blue light. This was observed even when weekly ALA–PDT was started after 8 weeks of UV exposure. Conclusion: Large-surface topical ALA–PDT with blue light can delay the appearance of UV-induced actinic keratoses and squamous cell carcinoma in hairless mice.

Aim. To determine whether 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is effective in combating ultraviolet A- (UVA-) induced oxidative photodamage of hairless mice skin in vivo and human epidermal keratinocytes in vitro. Methods. In in vitro experiments, the human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT cells) was divided into two groups: the experimental group was treated with ALA-PDT and the control group was left untreated. Then, the experimental group and the control group of cells were exposed to 10 J/m2 of UVA radiation. ROS, O2− species, and MMP were determined by fluorescence microscopy; p53, OGG1, and XPC were determined by Western blot analysis; apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry; and 8-oxo-dG was determined by immunofluorescence. Moreover, HaCaT cells were also treated with ALA-PDT. Then, SOD1 and SOD2 were examined by Western blot analysis. In in vivo experiments, the dorsal skin of hairless mice was treated with ALA-PDT or saline-PDT, and then, they were exposed to 20 J/m2 UVA light. The compound 8-oxo-dG was detected by immunofluorescence. Conclusion. In human epidermal keratinocytes and hairless mice skin, UVA-induced oxidative damage can be prevented effectively with ALA-PDT pretreatment.
