Methotrexate enhances 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy-induced killing of human SCC4 cells by upregulation of coproporphyrinogen oxidase
Topical 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is effective for treatment of oral precancerous and cancerous lesions. This in vitro study tried to examine whether the SCC4 cell killing by ALA-PDT was enhanced by pretreatment of methotrexate (MTX). Methods: To measure the SCC4...
