Abstract
After treatment of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with very low concentrations of thiopyronine (TP; 1 μg/ml) and visible light, a delay in growth of cell cultures (prolongation of the lag phase)) was observed. The lengthened lag phase, however, was followed by normal growth of the cells. The length of the lag period is dependent on the irradiation dose applied. A similar effect on DNA and RNA synthesis could be seen after photodynamic treatment with TP in CHO cells: the maxima of RNA and DNA synthesis occur later but are not significantly reduced after treatment with low concentrations of TP and irradiation with visible light. This result is further evidence that the photodynamic effect with TP does not involve attack on nuclear DNA in eukaryotic cells.
