Abstract

The aim of the present work is to clarify the mechanism(s) that regulates the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in human histiocytic lymphoma cell line U937 incubated with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Biosynthesis and accumulation of PpIX in the cells was determined after incubation with 0.1 ∼ 5 mM ALA using a flow cytometric technique. The synthesized endogenous PpIX was found to localize predominantly in the mitochondrial region of the cells. The ALA-enhanced PpIX synthesis was suppressed by the presence of either β-alanine, a competitive inhibitor of β-transporters on cell membranes, or carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone, an uncoupler of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. In contrast, cellular accumulation of PpIX was enhanced by the presence of either deferoxamine (an iron chelater), MnCl₂ (a ferrochelatase inhibitor), or Sn-mesoporphyrin (heme oxygenase inhibitor). These results suggest that ALA-enhanced accumulation of PpIX in U937 cells was regulated by cellular uptake and conversion of ALA to PpIX and by degradation of Heme.
