Received 29th October 2012, Accepted 5th December 2012 Summary Our previous research have demonstrated that 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), the precursor in the porphyrin synthesis pathway leads to heme, promotes aerobic energy metabolism via up-regulation of protein levels of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase, COX) in mouse. On the other hand, tumor cells exhibit the characterized metabolic phenotype, the Warburg effect, which is a shift of ATP generation from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. Moreover, tumor cells have a limited capacity of heme synthesis. Therefore ALA induces the accumulation of porphyrin in tumor cells. Hence, in the present study, we focus on energy and porphyrin metabolism in tumor cells. We examined aerobic respiration activities and porphyrin accumulation levels of human gastric cancer cell lines. COX enzyme activity and oxygen consumption rate in the cell culture medium were measured. The porphyrin accumulation level in tumor cells incubated with ALA was quantitatively determined by fluorescence measurement. COX activities in tumor cells were lower than that in normal cells. These results indicates that a reduction of COX activity is critical factor in the Warburg effect. Furthermore, differences in COX activities, oxygen consumption rates and porphyrin accumulation levels were observed among the cell lines. The cell line which showed high oxygen consumption rate exhibited the low porphyrin accumulation. On the other hand, the cell line which showd low oxygen consumption rate exhibited the high porphyrin accumulation. In the result, these data suggest that there is an inverse correlation between aerobic respiration ability and porphyrin accumulation level.
