Abstract: Objective: To investigate the efficacy of aloe-emodin (AE)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. Methods: Tca-8113 cells were implanted into nude mice subcutaneously in 4 groups (control group, light group, AE group, and PDT group). After treatment, the tumor volume was measured periodically. After 14 days, three mice were sacrificed and the tumor growth rate was calculated in each group. The survival time was observed and the life extension rate was calculated in the remaining mice. Results: The tumor volume of PDT group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). The tumor inhibition rates of light group, AE group, and PDT group were 4.76%, 20.24%, and 77.40% respectively. The results showed the tumor necrosis and vacuolar degeneration in PDT group which were not obviously detected in the control group and the light group. All treatments could prolong the survival time of the mice, but the PDT group exhibited the longest survival time and the highest rate of extension. Conclusion: AE-PDT can inhibit the growth of tongue squamous cell carcinoma and prolong the survival time of tumor mice.
