Abstract

Blue light emitting diode (BLED) were known to inhibit cancer proliferation and induced apoptotic cell death by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and caspase activation. However, not many attempts were made to study the naturally occurring photosensitizer molecule (PS) curcuminoids (CUR) mediated blue light emitting diode induced photodynamic therapy (BLED-PDT). Here, we demonstrated the use of pluronic F127 nanoplatform as a novel BLED-PDT based system for anticancer therapy. Aqueous soluble F127-CUR was proven to significantly mediate BLED-PDT, we anticipate that F127-CUR combined with BLED to induce BLED-PDT could be a promising cancer treatment modality.
