Chemosensitivity testing of human colorectal carcinoma cell lines using a tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay.
The in vitro chemosensitivity of 11 human colorectal cell lines to seven chemotherapeutic agents was determined using a semiautomated tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT assay). Four of the cell lines were from primary tumors and seven from metastases. Eight lines were from patients with no prior chemotherapy. From assay results, we predict 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) to be the sole active agen...
متن کاملLimitations of the fast green assay for chemosensitivity testing in human lung cancer.
Selection of patients with lung cancer who are most likely to benefit from chemotherapeutic treatment would be a substantial step forward. Therefore, a prospective study in predictive chemosensitivity testing in vitro using the fast green assay (FGA) as developed by Weisenthal et al was carried out. Sixty-six pretreatment tumor specimens were obtained, the majority by means of bronchoscopy (n =...
متن کاملComparison of MTT, trypan blue, and clonogenic assay, to determine the viability in human anaplastic thyroid cancer cell line
Background: Evaluation of cell viability is momentous in pharmacologic and oncological research. Cell viability evaluation determines cell sensitivity and consequently treatment outcome. Various methods are available to determine cell survival. Each of these methods evaluates different endpoints. Accordingly, determining the correlation between these methods is important. In this study, in orde...
متن کاملp73 expression is associated with cellular chemosensitivity in human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines
p73 is a member of the p53 tumor suppressor protein family and induces apoptosis in tumor cells that lack functional p53. It has been demonstrated that methylation of CpG islands in the promoter and exon 1 region may result in silencing of the p73 gene. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between p73 gene expression and chemosensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)...
متن کاملStudies of Cytotoxic Potential of Aqueous Fruit Extract of Cucumis melo.Linn in Prostate Cancer Cell lines PC-3 Using MTT and Neutral Red Assay
The objective of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of Cucumis melo fruit on human prostate cancer cell line (PC-3) using MTT and neutral red assays. The crude aqueous extract of C. melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered, concentrated and tested on PC-3 cell line. Dose-dependent cytotoxic activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma PC...
