Tumors in Nude Mice A Calcitriol Analogue, EB1089, Inhibits the Growth of LNCaP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Limited options for the treatment of prostate cancer have spurred the search for new therapies. One innovative approach is the use of 1a,25dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) analogues to inhibit cancer growth. We demonstrate here that the calcitriol analogue, EB1089, extensively inhibits the growth of LNCaP prostate cancer cells in culture and causes the cells to both accumulate in G0-G1 and undergo apoptosis. Importantly, we found that EB1089 inhibits the growth of LNCaP tumor xenografts in nude mice. Because of these antiproliferative properties in vivo, EB1089 is a potential new therapeutic agent for the treatment of prostate cancer.

متن کاملGrowth suppression of ovarian cancer xenografts in nude mice by vitamin D analogue EB1089.
PURPOSE The poor response of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer to current treatments necessitates the development of alternative therapeutic strategies. Inhibition of cancer growth by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] compounds represents an innovative approach for cancer therapy. The current study evaluated the therapeutic potential of a synthetic 1,25(OH)2D3 analogue EB1089 in the treat...
متن کاملReversal of hypercalcemia with the vitamin D analogue EB1089 in a human model of squamous cancer.
EB1089, an analogue of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D with low calcemic activity is a potent inhibitor of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHRP) production in vitro. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether EB1089 could reverse established hypercalcemia in BALB C nude mice implanted s.c. with a human epithelial cancer previously shown to produce high levels of PTHRP in vitro. Tot...
متن کاملEffects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] and its analogues (EB1089 and analog V) on canine adenocarcinoma (CAC-8) in nude mice.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 and its analogues on tumor growth and body weight, changes in plasma ionized calcium, parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) production, bone resorption, and the distribution of the 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor (VDR) on tumors in nude mice-bearing the canine adenocarcinoma (CAC-8). Thirty-seven nude mice were implanted subcutaneously...
متن کاملInhibition of prostate cancer metastasis in vivo: a comparison of 1,23-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol) and EB1089.
The steroid hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D, also known as calcitriol] is known to inhibit the proliferation and to promote the differentiation of human prostate cancer cells. Additionally, we showed that 1,25(OH)2D markedly inhibits the invasiveness of human prostate cancer cells in vitro (G. G. Schwartz et al., Cancer Epidemiol. Biomark. Prev., 6: 727-732, 1997). These properties ...
