Establishment and characterization of irinotecan-resistant human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells.

چکیده
Irinotecan (CTP-11) is a topoisomerase I inhibitor used in the treatment of colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite an initial response to therapy, resistance to irinotecan reduces its efficacy. We isolated irinotecan-resistant human NSCLC A549 cells, termed A549/CTP-11R cells. A549/CTP-11R cells were resistant to irinotecan, as well as paclitaxel, gemcitabine and carboplatin. Curcumin, a nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inhibitor, increased the sensitivity to irinotecan of A549/CTP-11R cells. The expression level of Bcl-XL and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein, target genes of NF-κB, in A549/CTP-11R cells was higher than that in A549 cells. Our result suggests that the addition of curcumin to irinotecan reverses irinotecan resistance in NSCLC.

Isolation and characterization of gemcitabine-resistant human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells.
Gemcitabine is an effective chemotherapy against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, resistance to gemcitabine reduces its efficacy. We have isolated gemcitabine-resistant human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells, termed A549/GR cells. A549/GR cells were resistant to gemcitabine as well as paclitaxel and docetaxel but not carboplatin and irinotecan. The expression level of multidrug...
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...
متن کاملEvaluation of silica nanoparticles cytotoxicity (20-40 nm) on cancerous epithelial cell (A549) and fibroblasts cells of human normal lung fibroblast (MRC5)
Introduction: Silica nanoparticles have received more attraction in medical and industrial applications due to their unique properties such as small size, the possibility of surface functionalization, ease of production, and low cost. So, it is necessary to study the respiratory toxicity of occupational exposure due to the production and increasing use of silica nanoparticles, especially in the...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Tumor-Binding Peptide for Lung Cancer Through in-vitro Panning
Tumor-targeted therapies are playing growing roles in cancer research. The exploitation of these powerful therapeutic modalities largely depends on the discovery of tumor-targeting ligands. Phage display has proven a promising high throughput screening tool for the identification of novel specific peptides with high binding affinity to cancer cells. In the present study, we describe the use of ...
