Optical Characterization of an Intra-Arterial Light and Drug Delivery System for Photodynamic Therapy of Atherosclerotic Plaque

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Andreas Pitzschke, Manish Jain, Ying Xiao

Although the versatility of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is well established, the technical aspects of light delivery systems vary significantly depending on the targeted organ. This article describes the optical properties of a light and drug delivery syste ...

Chemo-manipulation of tumor blood vessels by a metal-based anticancer complex enhances antitumor therapy

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Tina Riedel

Human pleural mesothelioma is an incurable and chemoresistant cancer. Using a nude mouse xenograft model of human pleural mesothelioma, we show that RAPTA-T, a compound undergoing preclinical evaluation, enhances tumor vascular function by decreasing blood ...

Photodynamic therapy for the treatment of atherosclerotic plaque: Lost in translation?

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Manish Jain

Acute coronary syndrome is a life-threatening condition of utmost clinical importance, which, despite recent progress in the field, is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. Acute coronary syndrome results from a rupture or erosion of vulnerab ...

Drug Combination for Treatment of Proliferative Diseases

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Angiogenesis inhibitory drug combination obtained according to a specific algorithm, preferably a FSC, in which an initial combination of drugs is iteratively adjusted. The drug combination according to the invention may advantageously comprise a RAPTA-C c ...

Intra-Arterial Drug and Light Delivery for Photodynamic Therapy Using Visudyne (R): Implication for Atherosclerotic Plaque Treatment

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Manish Jain

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which is based on the activation of photosensitizers with light, can be used to reduce plaque burden. We hypothesized that intra-arterial photosensitizer administration and photo-activation will lead to high and rapid accumulati ...

Optimization of drug combinations using Feedback System Control

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

We describe a protocol for the discovery of synergistic drug combinations for the treatment of disease. Synergistic drug combinations lead to the use of drugs at lower doses, which reduces side effects and can potentially lead to reduced drug resistance, w ...

Photobiomodulation Suppresses Alpha-Synuclein-Induced Toxicity in an AAV-Based Rat Genetic Model of Parkinson's Disease

Hubert van den Bergh, Hilal Lashuel, Georges Wagnières, Blaise Lovisa, Abid Oueslati, John Perrin

Converging lines of evidence indicate that near-infrared light treatment, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), may exert beneficial effects and protect against cellular toxicity and degeneration in several animal models of human pathologies, including n ...

Study of the influence of over-the-counter vitamin supplement intake on urine fluorescence to optimize cancer detection by fluorescence cystoscopy

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Carla Martoccia

Fluorescence cystoscopy (FC) efficiently enhances the detection and improves the therapeutic management of early bladder cancer. During an FC, about 150 ml of water is needed to inflate the bladder. The water is quickly diluted by urine which can be fluore ...

Photoactivation of lysosomally sequestered sunitinib after angiostatic treatment causes vascular occlusion and enhances tumor growth inhibition

Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

The angiogenesis inhibitor sunitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that acts mainly on the VEGF and PDGF pathways. We have previously shown that sunitinib is sequestered in the lysosomes of exposed tumor and endothelial cells. This phenomenon is part of t ...

Rapid optimization of drug combinations for the optimal angiostatic treatment of cancer

Paul Joseph Dyson, Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Drug combinations can improve angiostatic cancer treatment efficacy and enable the reduction of side effects and drug resistance. Combining drugs is non-trivial due to the high number of possibilities. We applied a feedback system control (FSC) technique w ...
