Immunostaining demonstrating β1-integrin and FAK expression in HEp-2 cells 12 h following PDT. The expression of β1-integrin in (A) the control group, cells with labeled in border (arrow); (B) the AlPcS4/PDT group, cells with diffuse labeling in the cytoplasm (arrow); (C) the ZnPc/PDT group, cells with some diffuse labeling in cytoplasm (arrow). FAC expression in (D) the control group, with numerous focal adhesion points (arrow); (E and F) the AlPcS4/PDT and ZnPc/PDT groups, where focal adhesion was not observed. PDT, photodynamic therapy; AlPcS4, aluminum phthalocyanine tetrasulfonated; ZnPc, zinc phthalocyanine; FAK, focal adhesion kinase.
