Efficacy of ribavirin against malignant glioma cell lines
Ribavirin (1-β-D-ribofuranosy-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide) has been widely administered as an antiviral agent against RNA and DNA viruses. Ribavirin, in combination with interferon, has predominantly been applied in the treatment of the hepatitis C virus infection and its potential antitumor efficacy has recently become a point of interest. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effe...
متن کاملGlioma Stem Cell-Targeted Dendritic Cells as a Tumor Vaccine Against Malignant Glioma
PURPOSE Cancer stem cells have recently been thought to be closely related to tumor development and reoccurrence. It may be a promising way to cure malignant glioma by using glioma stem cell-targeted dendritic cells as a tumor vaccine. In this study, we explored whether pulsing dendritic cells with antigens of glioma stem cells was a potent way to induce specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes and ant...
متن کاملImproving outcome in newly diagnosed malignant glioma
In 2013, two discoveries—that alkylating agent chemotherapy prolongs survival when added to radiotherapy for patients with anaplastic oligodendroglial tumours with 1p19q codeletion, and that bevacizumab prolongs progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma—have dominated debate in neuro-oncology. These findings could help to define new standards of care in malignant g...
متن کاملA Systemic Review of Clinical Trials on Dendritic-Cells Based Vaccine Against Malignant Glioma
The prognosis of patients with high grade gliomas (HGG) is quite poor, in spite of the standard combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Recently, many clinical researchers have been focusing their efforts on the safety, feasibility and efficiency of dendritic cells (DCs) based vaccine against HGG. According to the literature search, 23 phase I/II clinic studies were picked and sy...
متن کاملEfficacy of ribavirin against malignant glioma cell lines: Follow-up study
Ribavirin, a nucleic acid analog, has been employed as an antiviral agent against RNA and DNA viruses and has become the standard agent used for chronic hepatitis C in combination with interferon-α2a. Furthermore, the potential antitumor efficacy of ribavirin has attracted increasing interest. Recently, we demonstrated a dose-dependent antitumor effect of ribavirin for seven types of malignant ...
