Hypoxic mammalian cell radiosensitization by nitric oxide.

چکیده
The bioregulatory molecule, nitric oxide (NO), was evaluated as a hypoxic cell radiosensitizer. Authentic NO gas was nearly as effective as oxygen in radiosensitizing hypoxic Chinese hamster V79 lung cells as evaluated using clonogenic assays. When NO was delivered to hypoxic Chinese hamster V79 cells using the NO-releasing agent (C2H5)2N[N(O)-NO]- Na+, radiosensitization was also observed with a sensitizer enhancement ratio of 2.4 (1 mM (C2H5)2N[N(O)NO]-Na+). Aerobic radiosensitivity was not affected at this concentration. The hypoxic cell radiosensitization properties of (C2H5)2N[N(O)NO]-Na+, coupled with the vasodilatory effects of NO on tumor vasculature, suggest that such agents open a new avenue of research in radiation oncology.

EMT-6 cells treated for 16 h with 1-10 units/ml IFN-gamma showed a gradual activation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in Western and Northern blots, a simultaneous raise in NO output, and an increase in hypoxic cell radiosensitivity almost to the level of aerobic cells. Both the NO signal and radiosensitization were counteracted by the NO scavenger oxyhemoglobin, by the specific iNOS ...

متن کاملHypoxic tumor cell radiosensitization: role of the iNOS/NO pathway.
Hypoxia is a common feature of the tumor microenvironment and a major cause of clinical radioresistance. During the last decades, several strategies to improve tumor oxygenation were developed such as breathing high oxygen content gas under hyperbaric conditions (3 atmosphere) and improving tumor perfusion by nicotinamide, in combination with carbogen breathing and accelerated radiotherapy to c...
