Abstract

We have previously reported results of experiments in which EMT6/Ro spheroids were subjected to Photofrin®-PDT consisting of a fixed incident fluence (60 J-cm^-2) delivered at 200, 50, and 25 mW-cm^-2. Surviving fractions from treated spheroids decreased as the incident fluence rate was lowered over this range. We have interpreted these data using a model wherein the cells comprising the surviving fractions are assumed to originate from within a therapy-induced anoxic volume resulting from Type-il photochemistry. In this paper, we demonstrate direct measurements of the phenomenon in individual photosensitized EMT6 spheroids. Steadystate measurements of ³O₂ gradients in and around metabolizing spheroids allow determination of the ³O₂ diffusion constant and the rate of metabolic ³O₂ consumption within a spheroid. Timedependent measurements obtained at a single spatial location during laser irradiation are fit to numerical solutions of a pair of time-dependent diffusion with consumption equations. Fits allow a determination of the rate of PDT-induced ³O₂ consumption. Based on these fits, it is possible to calculate the spatial and temporal distributions of oxygen within a spheroid undergoing PDT.
