Gemcitabine uptake in glioblastoma multiforme: potential as a radiosensitizer.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most frequent malignant brain tumor, has a poor prognosis, but is relatively sensitive to radiation. Both gemcitabine and its metabolite difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU) are potent radiosensitizers. The aim of this phase 0 study was to investigate whether gemcitabine passes the blood-tumor barrier, and is phosphorylated in the tumor by deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) to...
متن کاملCabazitaxel antiproliferative mechanism of action in U87MG human glioblastoma cells: a promising cell-cycle phase-specific radiosensitizer
Introduction: One mechanism of cell cycle manipulation and mitotic catastrophe is arrest at G2/M phase of cell cycle. Cabazitaxel, a mitotic inhibitor agent, is a second-generation semisynthetic taxane. An expected anti-neoplastic effect of Cabazitaxel is cell cycle perturbation and alteration of microtubule dynamics. In contrast to other taxane compounds, Cabazitaxel is a poo...
متن کاملEffects of a novel DNA methyltransferase inhibitor Zebularine on human lens epithelial cells
PURPOSE Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is a common long-term complication of modern cataract surgery. We have shown that Zebularine, an inhibitor of DNA methylation, suppresses transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ)-induced lens epithelial cells (LECs)-myofibroblasts transdifferentiation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role that Zebularine plays in the inhibition of PCO patho...
متن کاملNovel Inhibitor of E. coli DNA Adenine Methyltransferase (Ecodam)
EcoDam is an adenine-N6 DNA methyltransferase that methylates the GATC sites in the Escherichia coli genome. DNA-adenine methylation is not present in higher eukaryotes including humans. These observations raise the possibility that dam inhibitors may be used as anti-microbial agents. Polyphosphate (Poly(P)) is an important metabolite and signaling molecule in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Here, ...
متن کاملO6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase is a novel negative effector of invasion in glioblastoma multiforme.
The dismal prognosis of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is mostly due to the high propensity of GBM tumor cells to invade. We reported an inverse relationship between GBM angiogenicity and expression of the DNA repair protein O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), which has been extensively characterized for its role in resistance to alkylating agents used in GBM treatment. In the prese...
