ErbB3 expression predicts tumor cell radiosensitization induced by Hsp90 inhibition.
The ability to identify tumors that are susceptible to a given molecularly targeted radiosensitizer would be of clinical benefit. Towards this end, we have investigated the effects of a representative Hsp90 inhibitor, 17-(dimethylaminoethylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17DMAG), on the radiosensitivity of a panel of human tumor cell lines. 17DMAG was previously shown to enhance the radiosensi...
متن کاملAutophagy and radiosensitization in cancer
Autophagy is a natural self-degradative process by which cells eliminate misfolded proteins and damaged organelles. Autophagy has been shown to have multiple functions in tumor cells that may be dependent on the tumor type and the treatment conditions. Autophagy can have a cytoprotective role and be thought of as a survival mechanism or be cytotoxic in nature and mediate cell death. Radiation, ...
متن کاملAutophagy inhibition for chemosensitization and radiosensitization in cancer: do the preclinical data support this therapeutic strategy?
Recognition of the cytoprotective functions of autophagy that occur in tumor cells exposed to various forms of chemotherapy or radiation has generated intense interest in the possibility that pharmacological interference with autophagy could provide a clinical strategy for overcoming therapeutic resistance. Multiple clinical trials are currently in progress to evaluate the antimalarial agent ch...
متن کاملRadiosensitization of colorectal carcinoma cell lines by histone deacetylase inhibition
BACKGROUND The tumor response to preoperative radiotherapy of locally advanced rectal cancer varies greatly, warranting the use of experimental models to assay the efficacy of molecular targeting agents in rectal cancer radiosensitization. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, agents that cause hyperacetylation of histone proteins and thereby remodeling of chromatin structure, may override cel...
متن کاملTumor radiosensitization by sustained intratumoral release of bromodeoxyuridine.
We have previously reported that the use of the polymer bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)propane-sebacic acid (20:80) for intratumoral delivery of cis-platinum in a mouse tumor model (RIF-1) potentiated the effects of acute and fractionated radiation. This mode of drug delivery seems particularly applicable to the administration of radiosensitizing drugs because an optimum concentration of radiosensitizer ...
