Evaluation of chemosensitivity testing with highly purified tumor cells in 435 patients with gastric carcinoma using an MTT assay.
BACKGROUND We evaluated the results of chemosensitivity testing for gastric cancer using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay in terms of the correlation of chemosensitivity and clinicopathological findings. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed 435 consecutive patients with gastric cancer treated between January 1991 and January 2002. Highly purified fresh h...
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 کاملCancer Chemosensitivity Testing: Review
Since chemotherapy started in 1940s, chemosensitivity testing has been both a very attractive field and one fraught with potential pitfalls. Many methods were developed and brought initial promises, yet later ending in disappointment and were eliminated. For example, in the 1970s clonogenic assay was generally believed to be the best testing method for predicting clinical outcome. However, tech...
متن کاملMTT colorimetric assay for testing macrophage cytotoxic activity in vitro.
The MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) cleavage assay, originally described by Mosmann (1983, J. Immunol. Methods 65, 55) for measuring cell survival/proliferation, has been used successfully to quantitate macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity. Peritoneal macrophages, from control or pyran copolymer MVE2-treated mice and from TU5 and L929 murine cell lines, were used ...
متن کاملsCLU regulates cisplatin chemosensitivity of lung cancer cells in vivo
BACKGROUND In a previous analysis using a lung cancer cell line model, we have found that therapies directed against secreted clusterin (sCLU) and its downstream signaling targets pAkt and pERK1/2 may have the potential to enhance the efficacy of cisplatin (DDP)-based chemotherapy in vitro. Here, we investigated the therapies directed against sCLU on the DDP-based chemotherapy in vivo and explo...
