چکیده
It is a frequent clinical, and less frequent labora tory, observation that a tumor subjected to a number of sublethal irradiations will gradually acquire radioresistance (5, 11). The usual manifes tation of acquired radioresistance by a tumor is the diminished amount of regression for the same dose, or the increased dose required for an equal amount of regression or for sterilization, as the radiation treatments continue. Three possible mechanisms to explain the phenomenon are commonly pro posed. Firstly, the initial sublethal irradiation kills off all but the few resistant tumor cells in a hetero geneous population. Secondly, the initial irradia tions induce a mutation toward radioresistance in a tumor cell, which is then selected for by subse quent irradiations. Thirdly, the initial irradiations cause changes of one sort or another in the host ("tumor bed changes") that interact to make the

Disruption of STAT3 by niclosamide reverses radioresistance of human lung cancer.
A major challenge affecting the outcomes of patients with lung cancer is the development of acquired radioresistance. However, the mechanisms underlying the development of resistance to therapy are not fully understood. Here, we discovered that ionizing radiation induces phosphorylation of Janus-associated kinase (JAK)-2 and STAT3 in association with increased levels of Bcl2/Bcl-XL in various h...

متن کاملATM induces radioresistance of non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells by downregulation of MDMX
Background: Tumor radioresistance leads to a reduction in the efficiency of radiation therapy. It is very important to explore the cellular mechanisms leading to radioresistance and to find potential therapeutic targets, which might improve the efficacy of radiation therapy. This study was to investigate the role of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and murine double minute X (MDMX) in radior...
