Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) senses DNA breaks and facilitates DNA repair via the polyADP-ribosylation of various DNA binding and repair proteins. We explored the mechanism of potentiation of temozolomide cytotoxicity by the PARP inhibitor ABT-888. We showed that cells treated with temozolomide need to be exposed to ABT-888 for at least 17 to 24 hours to achieve maximal cytotoxicity. The ...
Implementation of chemotherapy with the drug temozolomide increased the overall survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM; WHO grade IV), in particular when the O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter is epigenetically silenced. Nevertheless, the prognosis remains poor, and relapse in GBM occurs regularly. This clinical behavior seems to be due to the existence of ...
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system in children. The insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) is an important growth factor for medulloblastoma. The novel IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) kinase inhibitor NVP-ADW742 has in vitro activity against tumors. Daoy cells were treated with NVP-ADW742 combined with temozolomide, which is commonly used in the che...
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma is associated with a poor prognosis in the elderly. Survival has been shown to increase among patients 70 years of age or younger when temozolomide chemotherapy is added to standard radiotherapy (60 Gy over a period of 6 weeks). In elderly patients, more convenient shorter courses of radiotherapy are commonly used, but the benefit of adding temozolomide to a shorter cour...
PURPOSE Recent studies suggest that temozolomide has activity in neuroendocrine tumors. Low levels of the DNA repair enzyme, O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), are associated with sensitivity to temozolomide in other tumor types. We evaluated the prevalence of MGMT deficiency in neuroendocrine tumors and correlated MGMT deficiency with treatment response to temozolomide-based regi...
Temozolomide is an oral alkylating agent indicated for the treatment of patients with glioblastoma multiforme concomitantly with radiotherapy and subsequently as monotherapy treatment. We report the case of a patient who developed toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) while she was being treated with chemoradiotherapy and several drugs. Cutaneous tests were performed with the drugs involved with neg...
The prognosis of patients suffering from glioblastoma (GBM) is dismal despite multimodal therapy. Although chemotherapy with temozolomide may contain tumor growth for some months, invariable tumor recurrence suggests that cancer stem cells (CSC) maintaining these tumors persist. We have therefore investigated the effect of temozolomide on CD133(+) and CD133(-) GBM CSC lines. Although differenti...
One barrier to successful treatment of malignant glioma is resistance to alkylating agents such as temozolomide. The cytotoxic activity of temozolomide and other alkylating agents is believed to manifest largely by the formation of O(6)-methylguanine DNA adducts. Consequently, the primary mechanism of resistance to temozolomide is a function of the activity of the DNA repair enzyme O(6)-methylg...
www.thelancet.com Published online August 8, 2017 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(17)31477-0 1 The role of chemotherapy for newly diagnosed anaplastic gliomas, particularly when combined with radiotherapy, has long been unresolved. Over the past few decades, despite no conclusive data, study findings have suggested that the addition of nitrosourea-based chemotherapy to radiotherapy could b...
Brain tumours comprise only 2% of all adult cancers, but they are among the most debilitating malignant diseases. Temozolomide, an alkylating agent that can be administered orally, has been approved for the treatment of recurrent malignant glioma on a daily schedule for 5-day cycles. Continuous administration schedules with a higher dose intensity are being explored, but an improvement in effic...
