In vivo drug sensitivity assay of clonogenic human melanoma cells and correlation with treatment outcome.
In vitro tests of tumor cell drug sensitivity have been suggested as a means of selecting more appropriate clinical strategies against human cancer and improving preclinical drug development. The lack of biotransformation in these in vitro assays precludes the meaningful assessment of several major chemotherapeutic agents, including dacarbazine and cyclophosphamide. In vivo drug exposure of tum...
متن کاملSensitivity of Human Leukemic Cells to Carvedilol
Background and Objective: Carvedilol, a non-specific β-blocker, has been used for treatment of hypertension, stroke and congestive heart failure. The therapeutic effects of β blockers in cancer patients have been shown. Carvedilol has considerable anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic properties. In this study, the effects of carvedilol on proliferation of human U937 and Molt-4 leuk...
متن کاملEffect of oxygen concentration on the growth and drug sensitivity of human melanoma cells in soft-agar clonogenic assay.
Tumor cells from a human melanoma xenograft show better colony growth and plating efficiency in soft agar when incubated in a 5% O2 atmosphere that at a higher concentration of 20% O2. Exposure to low drug concentrations under a 20% (but not 5%) O2 atmosphere stimulated plating efficiency. Enhanced sensitivity (4- to 20-fold) to a variety of chemotherapeutic agents was seen in cells incubated u...
متن کاملHypoxia Preconditioning Promotes Survival And Clonogenic Capacity Of Human Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Background: In recent decade, human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) provide enormous potential for appropriate cell therapy, but they have limited growth potential and cease to proliferate due to cellular senescence, so providing a strategy for increasing the stem cell survival is necessary. Methods: In this investigation, MSCs characterized by flow cytome...
متن کاملNormalization of in vitro sensitivity testing of human tumor clonogenic cells.
The use of normal bone marrow (granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units) as a point of reference to normalize the in vitro activities of anticancer agents has been investigated. The cytotoxic effects of four substituted anthraquinone derivatives, and of vinblastine on myeloid progenitors of different donors were reproducible up to a cell kill of approximately 60%. Equitoxic in vitro concentr...
