An investigation was carried out as to whether copper affected the intracellular accumulation of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II); CDDP) and whether changes in the expression of ATP7A and CTR1 were related to acquired resistance using CDDP-sensitive (KB) and -resistant (KBR/0.8, KBR/1.2) cells. Intracellular platinum accumulation and platinum-DNA adducts were significantly lower in t...

Meme kanseri, dünyada kadınlar arasında en sık görülen ikinci ölüm nedeni ve teşhis edilen kanser türüdür. Kemoterapötik bir ajan olan, sisplatin (CDPP), meme kanseri tedavisinde kullanılmakla birlikte ciddi yan etkilere sahiptir. Ayrıca, MCF-7 gibi hücrelerinin cisplatine karşı dirençli olması tedaviyi zorlaştırmaktadır. Çörek otunda bulunan fitokimyasal bileşik olan timokinon (TQ) farklı çalı...

Background: Despite modern developments in its management, still major concerns remain about drug resistance chemotherapy. Natural adjuvants combined with chemotherapy might be the answer. We examined anti-cancer, anti-proliferative and synergistic effects of Sambucus nigra extract cisplatin (CDDP) on MCF-7 MDA-MB-231 human cancer cell lines. Methods: lines were cultured DMEM culture media, con...

The presence of lymph node metastases relevantly and significantly impairs disease-specific survival in patients suffering from squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract. In a VX2 animal tumor model, we present an interstitial translymphatic therapeutic approach using cis-diaminedichloro-platinum(II) (CDDP) conjugated to a poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(lysine) (PEO-b-PLys) bloc...

The aim of the present study was to establish a new cisplatin-resistant human osteosarcoma cell line and investigate its biological characteristics. The human osteosarcoma cell line SOSP-9607 was exposed to cisplatin by stepwisely increasing the concentrations in the medium to select for the drug-resistant subline, SOSP-9607/CDDP cells. The morphological features were observed using inverted mi...

We previously reported that human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cell lines refractory to cis-diaminedichloro-platinum II (cisplatin [CDDP]) had significant upregulation of the phosphodiesterase 3B gene (PDE3B), suggesting that inhibiting PDE3B suppresses CDDP resistance. shRNA-mediated PDE3B depletion in CDDP-resistant cells derived from SCC cells and Hela cells and induced CDDP sensitivity and...

CBP501, a calmodulin-binding peptide, is an anti-cancer drug candidate and functions as an enhancer of platinum uptake into cancer cells. Here we show that CBP501 promotes immunogenic cell death (ICD) in combination with platinum agents. CBP501 enhanced a clinically relevant low dose of cisplatin (CDDP) in vitro as evidenced by upregulation of ICD markers, including cell surface calreticulin ex...

Hepatocyte injury is a common pathological effect of cisplatin (CDDP) in various solid tumor therapies. Thus, strategies for minimizing CDDP toxicity are of great clinical interest. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a known antioxidant, is often used as an antidote for acetaminophen overdose in the clinic due to its ability to increase the levels of glutathione (GSH). In the present study, the aim was to...

PURPOSE Germ cell tumors (GCT) of the testis are highly curable, but those patients who are refractory to cisplatin (CDDP)-based combination chemotherapy have a poor prognosis. Therefore, identifying new alternatives for treatment remains a priority. Several studies support an important role for angiogenesis in GCTs, suggesting that antiangiogenic treatment might be a good alternative. Sunitini...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in drug resistance and modulate the efficiency of chemotherapy. A recent study indicated that miR-340 functions as a tumor suppressor in various types of cancer. However, the role of miR-340 in chemotherapy has not been reported yet. In this study, we found that miR-340 enhanced cisplatin (CDDP)-induced cell death. Induction of miR-340-5p expression dec...
