Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) has been shown to be an inhibitory or a stimulatory agent for cell growth in various types of cells. Here, we studied the effects of extracellular ATP on two pancreatic cancer cell lines, PK-1 and YAPC established by us. In both cell lines, ATP inhibited cell growth in a
The paper evaluates effects of different methods of systemic intraoperative anesthesia on the dynamics of leukocytes following colonic resection in tumor patients. Lymphocytes levels rose on day 2 after operation in patients receiving non-selective purine receptor agonists (sodium adenosine
The aim of this study is to analyze the long-term relapse-free survival and overall survival outcomes of primary ovarian cancer patients using adenosine triphosphate-based chemotherapy response analysis.In total, 162 primary epithelial ovarian cancer OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and the clinical applicability of the adenosine-triphosphate-based chemotherapy response assay (ATP-CRA) as a method of determining in vitro chemosensitivity in patients with gastric cancer.
METHODS
A total of 243 gastric cancer
This study was designed to assess whether histological and biological factors of breast cancer can predict chemoresponse to specific agents. Adenosine triphosphate-based chemotherapy response assay (ATP-CRA) was employed to retrieve chemoresponse to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxetaxel, doxorubicin,
Chemosensitivity testing in vitro of breast cancer has been difficult because of small tumour volume, an even smaller yield of viable cells after disaggregation, and the low evaluability rate and sensitivity of current assays. We have employed an alternative approach that quantitates intracellular
OBJECTIVE
To explore the feasibility of the adenosine triphosphate-tumor chemosensitivity assay (ATP-TCA) in human cervical cancer chemosensitivity testing and to analyze the relationship between the three drug resistance-associated proteins: P-glycoprotein (P-gp); glutathione S-transferase-pi
In the present study, binary and triplex DNA molecular beacons, as signaling probes based on a luminol-H(2)O(2)-horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-fluorescein chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET) system and structure-switching aptamers for highly sensitive detection of small molecules, are
Adenosine triphosphate is the primary energy unit for cells, and levels of this compound offer a potential marker for cell viability and growth. The availability of a bioluminescence assay allows for a rapid, sensitive, and reproducible measurement of ATP. A method is described for the
The effects of hematoporphyrin derivative-induced photosensitization on the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in R3230AC mammary adenocarcinomas were studied. Enzymatically dissociated tumor cells were exposed to various doses of hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) in vitro plus photoradiation. A
OBJECTIVE
Adenosine triphosphate-based chemotherapy response assay (ATP-CRA) is a well-documented and validated technology that can individualize chemotherapy for patients with lung, stomach, or breast cancer. This study explored the feasibility of ATP-CRA as a chemosensitivity test in patients with
We have previously reported that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) enhances the cytotoxic effects of 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4HC) on leukemia cells without affecting the normal hematopoietic stem cells. Increased cell membrane permeability induced by ATP may cause high incorporation of 4HC into
OBJECTIVE
The empirical use of a chemotherapy regimen shows different results in individual breast cancer patient treatment. Recent studies showed the effectiveness of the adenosine triphosphate-based chemotherapy response assay (ATP-CRA). However, little is known about the correlation between
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay for chemosensitity testing of ovarian cancer cell line and to compare its predicting value with that of diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test.
METHODS
By using ATP assay and MTT test the cytotoxic effect of 7 anticancer drugs on
In order to determine the most effective anticancer agents for individual human tumor, succinic dehydrogenase inhibition test (SDI-T) and adenosine triphosphate inhibition assay (ATP-A) as in vitro chemosensitivity tests were performed. Fifty tumors and 57 tumors derived from cancer patients
