Radiosensitization of breast cancer cells using AS1411 aptamer-conjugated gold nanoparticles
Introduction: A main choice for cancer treatment is radiotherapy. But, the radiotherapy disadvantage is damages caused by radiation given to normal tissues/organs surrounding cancer. One way to avoid this is via increasing radiosensitization of cancer cells. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have shown sensitizing effect on cancer cells by enhancing their absorbed dose. Unlike earlier ...
متن کاملRadiosensitization effect of ZnO nanoparticles in lung cancer cells at clinically relevant megavoltage energy
Introduction: Radiation therapy is one of the major modalities that have long been used in cancer treatment. Radiotherapy is often accompanied by early and late toxicity and side effects and narrow therapeutic window. Similarity in radiation absorption properties of tumors and neighboring healthy tissues is often the reason for low specificity of radiation therapy. Development ...
متن کاملTargeting progastrin enhances radiosensitization of colorectal cancer cells
A high percentage of advanced rectal cancers are resistant to radiation. Therefore, increasing the efficacy of radiotherapy by targeting factors involved in radioresistance seems to be an attractive strategy. Here we demonstrated that the pro-hormone progastrin (PG), known to be over-expressed in CRC, and recognized as a pro-oncogenic factor, is a radioresistance factor that can be targeted to ...
متن کاملInhibition of SENP1 induces radiosensitization in lung cancer cells
Lung cancer is one of the most common and lethal types of malignancy. To date, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been used as the two major treatment methods. However, radioresistance of lung cancer remains a therapeutic hindrance. The aim of this study was to identify whether small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-specific protease 1 (SENP1) is a marker of radioresistance that may serve as a...
متن کاملChk1 knockdown confers radiosensitization in prostate cancer stem cells.
Radioresistance is responsible for treatment failure after radiotherapy in localized prostate cancer, while prostate cancer stem cells promote radioresistance by preferential activation of the DNA damage response. Chk1 inhibition has been shown to sensitize many tumor cells to radiation. However, whether Chk1 inhibition can potentiate the cytotoxi...
