Antitumor activity of arsenic trioxide on retinoblastoma: cell differentiation and apoptosis depending on arsenic trioxide concentration.
PURPOSE Arsenic trioxide (ATO) targets multiple pathways in malignant cells, resulting in the promotion of differentiation or in the induction of apoptosis. The antitumor activity of ATO on retinoblastoma was investigated. METHODS Human retinoblastoma cells were incubated with various ATO concentrations. The antiproliferative effect of ATO was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-dip...
متن کاملThe synergistic antitumor effect of arsenic trioxide combined with cytotoxic T cells in pulmonary metastasis model of colon cancer
Adoptive T cell therapy, including cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), represents a promising non-toxic anticancer strategy. The effects of this therapy can be impaired by tumor-infiltrated regulatory T cells (Tregs). Autologous murine CTLs acquired using cryopreservation exhibited a cytotoxic effect equivalent to that of conventional CTLs. The killing activity of CTLs was enhanced significantly us...
متن کاملSynergistic antitumor activity of oridonin and arsenic trioxide on hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
Although arsenic trioxide (As2O3) has been successfully employed in treatment of patients with APL (acute promyelocytic leukemia), the sensitivity of solid tumor cells to this treatment was much lower than APL cells. The single agent of As2O3 was inefficient for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in phase II trial demonstrating that new m...
متن کاملEnhanced Bcr-Abl-specific antileukemic activity of arsenic trioxide through glutathione-depletion in imatinib-resistant cells
In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), mechanisms of resistance to imatinib mesylate (Glivec), a selective Bcr-Abl kinase inhibitor, have been traced to Bcr-Abl reactivation, most frequently by mutations in the kinase domain of Bcr-Abl, or to BCRABL amplification. Bcr-Abl overexpression not only directly modulates sensitivity to imatinib, it may also indirectly influence treatment response by influ...
متن کاملArsenic Trioxide-induced Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity in Colon Cancer Cells
Arsenic trioxide is a well-known environmental toxicant and carcinogen. However, arsenic trioxide has also been used clinically to treat some forms of human cancer (e.g. leukemia). Although its therapeutic effects have been studied extensively, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of its action on cancer cells are not fully elucidated. Hence, the aim of the present research was to evaluate cyt...
