Abstract

To obtain therapeutic condition precisely by in vitro experiment, we studied the irradiance dependence of the electrical conduction blockage caused by a photodynamic reaction using a high extracellular concentration of talaporfin sodium on a novel in vitro cardiomyocyte electrical conduction wire. The cardiomyocyte wires were constructed on patterned cultivation cover glass, which had cultivation areas 60μm in width, and a maximum length of 10mm. The talaporfin sodium concentration was set to 20μg/mL. The photodynamic reaction with a high extracellular photosensitizer concentration was performed with a short time interval (approximately 15min) between photosensitizer exposure and irradiation. A 663-nm laser was applied to the cardiomyocyte wire, and the irradiance was varied between 3 and 120mW/cm2. The cardiomyocyte electrical conduction was evaluated using the cross-correlation function of intracellular Ca2+ probe fluorescence brightness from an upper and lower section outside the laser irradiation area of a wire every 10s, which lasted up to 600s. The onset of electrical conduction blockage was defined by an 85% decrease in the cross-correlation function, compared with its initial value. The time for the electrical conductio...Continue Reading
