Liposomal encapsulation of deguelin: evidence for enhanced antitumor activity in tobacco carcinogen-induced and oncogenic K-ras-induced lung tumorigenesis.
Deguelin has shown promising chemopreventive and therapeutic activities in diverse types of cancers. However, the potential side effect of deguelin over a certain dose could be the substantial hurdle in the practical application of the drug. One of the successful strategies for the use of deguelin in clinical trials could be lung-specific delivery of the drug. The present study evaluates the ef...
متن کاملUltrasound enhanced antitumor activity of liposomal doxorubicin in mice.
Liposomal encapsulation of doxorubicin (DXR) improves tumor accumulation and reduces adverse effects. One possible strategy for further optimization of this delivery technology would be to design the liposome carrier to release its content within the tumor tissue in response to specific stimuli such as ultrasound (US). In this study, the tumor uptake properties and therapeutic efficacy of 1,2 d...
متن کاملChemopreventive effects of deguelin, a novel Akt inhibitor, on tobacco-induced lung tumorigenesis.
Tobacco carcinogens induce Akt activation and lung carcinogenesis. We previously demonstrated that deguelin, a natural plant product, specifically inhibits the proliferation of premalignant and malignant human bronchial epithelial cells by blocking Akt activation. To evaluate the ability of deguelin to block tobacco carcinogen-induced lung tumorigenesis, we evaluated the in vivo effects of degu...
متن کاملPten inactivation accelerates oncogenic K-ras-initiated tumorigenesis in a mouse model of lung cancer.
Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted from chromosome 10 (Pten) is expressed aberrantly in non-small cell lung cancer cells, but the role of Pten in lung neoplasia has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we used a genetic approach to inactivate Pten in the bronchial epithelium of mice. Although, by itself, Pten inactivation had no discernible effect on bronchial epithelial histology, i...
متن کاملEnhanced antitumor efficacy of clinical-grade vasculature-targeted liposomal doxorubicin.
PURPOSE In vivo evaluation of good manufacturing practice-grade targeted liposomal doxorubicin (TVT-DOX), bound to a CD13 isoform expressed on the vasculature of solid tumors, in human tumor xenografts of neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, and lung cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Mice were implanted with lung, ovarian, or neuroblastoma tumor cells via the pulmonary, peritoneal, or orthotopic (adrenal...
