Molecular determinants of terminal growth arrest induced in tumor cells by a chemotherapeutic agent.
Treatment with chemotherapy or radiation is not invariably cytotoxic to all tumor cells. Some of the cells that survive treatment recover and resume proliferation, whereas others undergo permanent growth arrest. To understand the nature of treatment-induced terminal growth arrest, colon carcinoma cells were exposed to doxorubicin, and surviving cells were separated into proliferating and growth...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis by evodiamine involves both activation of mitotic arrest and mitotic slippage.
Evodiamine (Evo) is an indole quinazoline alkaloid isolated from the fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa Bentham. Previous studies have shown that Evo exhibits anti-proliferative anti-tumor activities in several cancer types, but its target(s) and underlying mechanism(s) of action remain unclear. In the present study, we sought to establish a cell synchron...
متن کاملMitotic arrest deficient 2 expression induces chemosensitization to a DNA-damaging agent, cisplatin, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.
Recently, mitotic arrest deficient 2 (MAD2)-mediated spindle checkpoint is shown to induce mitotic arrest in response to DNA damage, indicating overlapping roles of the spindle checkpoint and DNA damage checkpoint. In this study, we investigated if MAD2 played a part in cellular sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, especially cisplatin, and whether it was regulated through mitotic checkpoint. Us...
متن کاملMicrotubule dynamics, mitotic arrest, and apoptosis: drug-induced differential effects of betaIII-tubulin.
Overexpression of betaIII-tubulin is associated with resistance to tubulin-binding agents (TBA) in a range of tumor types. We previously showed that small interfering RNA silencing of betaIII-tubulin expression hypersensitized non-small cell lung cancer cells to TBAs. To determine whether betaIII-tubulin mediates its effect on drug-induced mitotic arrest and cell death by differentially regulat...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human tumor cell lines by platelets
Introduction: It has been reported that platelets can eradicate tumor cells in vitro, although the mechanism of this effect has not been determined. The effect of platelets on the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells is largely unknown. Materials and methods: To investigate this effect, two human hematologic cell lines, K562 and Daudi, were independently faced with unstimulated and thromb...
