Dihydroartemisinin increases radiosensitivity of A549 lung cancer cells
Background: Radiotherapy is the gold standard in the treatment of lung cancer. However, the radiosensitization of cancerous cells requires further improvement. Here, we investigated the effect of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on the radiosensitization of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Methods: Cell proliferation and cell cycle assays were carried out using A549 cells exposed to DHA. The e...
متن کاملThe anti-malarial atovaquone increases radiosensitivity by alleviating tumour hypoxia
Tumour hypoxia renders cancer cells resistant to cancer therapy, resulting in markedly worse clinical outcomes. To find clinical candidate compounds that reduce hypoxia in tumours, we conduct a high-throughput screen for oxygen consumption rate (OCR) reduction and identify a number of drugs with this property. For this study we focus on the anti-malarial, atovaquone. Atovaquone rapidly decrease...
متن کاملRadiosensitivity enhancement by combined treatment of celecoxib and gefitinib on human lung cancer cells.
PURPOSE To characterize the radiation-enhancing effects and underlying mechanisms of combined treatment with celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor, and gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in human lung cancer cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Clonogenic cytotoxicity assays and clonogenic radiation survival assays after treatments with celecoxi...
متن کاملGuidelines on Penile Cancer
Introduction and epidemiology The incidence of penile cancer increases with age, with an age peak during the sixth decade of life. However, the disease does occur in younger men. There are significant geographical variations within Europe as well as worldwide. Penile cancer is common in regions with a high prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV), which may account for the global incidence var...
متن کاملInherent radiosensitivity and its impact on breast cancer chemo-radiotherapy
About 10% of apparently normal individuals are sensitive to clastogenic effects of physico-chemical agents. More than 45% of breast cancer patients’ exhibit elevated radiosensitivity. Although the nature of inherent radiosensitivity is not fully understood, but insufficiency and impaired DNA repair mechanism might be prime cause of radiosensitivity. This is evident from genetically affect...
