Apoptosis-related gene expression can predict the response of ovarian cancer cell lines to treatment with recombinant human TRAIL alone or combined with cisplatin

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to determine the sensitivity of ovarian cancer (OC) cell lines (TOV-21G and SKOV-3) to cisplatin and to the recombinant human TRAIL (rhTRAIL), and to evaluate the expression profile of TNFRSF10B, TNFRSF10C, TP53TG5, MDM2, BAX, BCL-2 and CASPASE-8 genes and th...

MicroRNA-4290 suppresses PDK1-mediated glycolysis to enhance the sensitivity of gastric cancer cell to cisplatin

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (5), 2020
The development of chemotherapy resistance significantly impairs the efficiency of chemotherapy, but the underlying mechanisms of chemotherapy resistance in gastric cancer (GC) are complicated and still need to be further explored. Here, we aimed to reveal the effects of miR-4290/PDK1 (pyruvate dehydroge...

Functional and genomic characterization of three novel cell lines derived from a metastatic gallbladder cancer tumor

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common tumor of the biliary tract. The incidence of GBC shows a large geographic variability, being particularly frequent in Native American populations. In Chile, GBC represents the second cause of cancer-related death among women. We describe here the es...

Resposta imunoinflamatória na periodontite experimental induzida em ratos submetidos à quimioterapia e a dose oncológica de zoledronato

O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar os efeitos da quimioterapia com Cisplatina (CIS) combinado ao uso de Zoledronato (ZOL) sobre os tecidos periodontais saudáveis e na progressão da periodontite experimental induzida em ratos. Foram utilizados 160 ratos machos, distribuídos em dois grupos sem per...

The Effects of Riluzole on Cisplatin-induced Ototoxicity

Abstract Introduction Riluzole (2-amino-6-trifluoromethoxy benzothiazole) is known as a neuroprotective, antioxidant, antiapoptotic agent. It may have beneficial effects on neuronal cell death due to cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Objective To evaluate the effect of riluzole on cisplatin-induced otot...

Pericyte loss and detachment in experimental cisplatin-induced neuropathy

Int. j. morphol; 37 (2), 2019
Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent with neuropathy as one of its major side effect. However, effective treatment is lacking. Increasing evidence suggests that cisplatin might damage nerve capillaries leading to impaired functions of blood-nerve barrier (BNB) and neuropathy. This study was aimed to exam...

Ototoxicidad inducida por quimio-radioterapia basada en platinos: una revisión

RESUMEN Los análogos del platino, como el cisplatino, y la radioterapia son usados de forma individual y en conjunto para el tratamiento de diversas neoplasias en población adulta y pediátrica. Sin embargo, el uso de estos tratamientos puede generar ototoxicidad, especialmente cuando son usados de for...

First - line, non - cryopreserved autologous stem cell transplant for poor - risk germ - cell tumors: Experience in a developing country

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (1), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: The current first - line treatment for non - seminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT) consists of four cycles of cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin (BEP), which results in 5 - year overall survival < 60% in patients with poor - risk features. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transpla...

Eficacia y seguridad de pembrolizumab asociado a quimioterapia en doblete basada en platino en el tratamiento de primera línea de pacientes adultos con adenocarcinoma de pulmón metastásico, con las mutaciones EGFR y ALK negativos

INTRODUCCIÓN: El cáncer de pulmón (CP) es uno de los tumores más frecuentes en el mundo. Se clasifica en dos grupos, siendo el subgrupo de CP de células no pequeñas (CPCNP) el más frecuente (80 %). A su vez, el CPCNP se subdivide en el subtipo escamoso y el no escamoso. El adenocarcinoma de pulmó...

Enhancing Antitumor Efficacy of Cisplatin Low Dose by EDTA in Ehrlich Ascetic Carcinoma Bearing Mice

Abstract In a recent study, the treatment of different human cancer cell lines in vitro with ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) showed a promising anticancer activity which could be a novel promising approach for cancer treatment. The aim of this study is to address the ability of EDTA to enhance ...
