Systemic therapy of myeloma xenografts by an attenuated measles virus.
Conditionally replicating viruses are promising agents for the treatment of malignancy. Here it is shown that the live attenuated Edmonston-B vaccine strain of measles virus (MV-Edm) replicates selectively in human myeloma cells and has potent antitumor activity. In vitro, replication of MV-Edm was restricted in phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) but proceed...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of human melanoma tumor xenografts in athymic nude mice by swainsonine.
Swainsonine, an inhibitor of alpha-mannosidases, has been shown to block experimental metastasis of B16F10 melanoma and MDAY-D2 lymphoid tumor cells in syngeneic mice. In this report we demonstrate that swainsonine also reduces the growth rate of human melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Graded doses of swainsonine were administered either orally or via implanted Alzet miniosmotic pumps to ath...
متن کاملGrowth Inhibition of Human Melanoma Tumor Xenografts in Athymic Nude Mice by Swainsonine1
Swainsonine, an inhibitor of a-mannosidases, has been shown to block experimental metastasis of H161 10 melanoma and MDAY-D2 lymphoid tumor cells in syngeneic mice. In this report we demonstrate that swainsonine also reduces the growth rate of human melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo. Graded doses of Swainsonine were administered either orally or via implanted Alzet miniosmotic pumps to athymi...
متن کاملThe systemic administration of lethal toxin achieves a growth delay of human melanoma and neuroblastoma xenografts: assessment of receptor contribution.
Two of the three components of anthrax toxin, protective antigen (PA) and lethal factor (LF), together known as lethal toxin (LeTx), reportedly show anti-tumor activity in melanoma in vitro and in vivo. The growth inhibitory activity of LeTx in culture was determined in nine human cancer cell lines, including melanoma, neuroblastoma and adenocarcinoma cells, as well as in human umbilical vein e...
