Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has been identified as an unfavorable prognostic factor in most solid tumors. However, HIF-1α was suggested to predict improved survival in Western patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) under rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin,
Hypoxia is widespread in solid tumors as a consequence of poorly structured tumor-derived neovasculature. Direct measurement of low oxygen levels in a range of adult tumor types has correlated tumor hypoxia with advanced stage, poor response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and poor prognosis.
The regimen of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone, known as CHOP therapy, has been established as the standard treatment for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Although patients categorized as low (L) and low-intermediate (L-I) risk using the International Prognostic
This report describes a patient with a 15-year history of schwannoma (peripheral nerve sheath sarcoma) who developed extensive pulmonary metastases associated with hypoxemia. Treatment with chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, Adriamycin, and imidazole carboxamide resulted in a
We have recently identified a mechanistic link between disruption of the microtubule cytoskeleton and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis via the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway. Based on this model, we hypothesized that other microtubule-targeting drugs may have a similar effect on
OBJECTIVE
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is hypoxic and highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy. We sought to determine whether K-ras oncogene and/or hypoxia can induce expression of drug resistance-promoting adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in human PC cell
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells change their metabolic program between normoxia and hypoxia, possibly affecting cytotoxic drug potency by altering mitochondria-related cell stress responses (MRCSR) including mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitochondrial proteostasis. We evaluated
BACKGROUND
Environment inside even a small tumor is characterized by total (anoxia) or partial oxygen deprivation, (hypoxia). It has been shown that radiotherapy and some conventional chemotherapies may be less effective in hypoxia, and therefore it is important to investigate how different drugs
We previously demonstrated that hypoxia increased the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1)-dependent MGr1-Ag/37LRP expression, which enhanced adhesion of gastric cancer cells to laminin, inhibited drug-induced apoptosis and caused cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance (CAM-DR). Here, we investigated
Glutathione (GSH) is implicated in drug resistance mechanisms of several cancers and is a key regulator of cell death pathways within cells. We studied Ewing's sarcoma family of tumours (ESFT) cell lines and three mechanistically distinct anticancer agents (fenretinide, doxorubicin, and vincristine)
The cellular response to hypoxia is primarily regulated by the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). HIF-1α is also a major mediator of tumor physiology, and its abundance is correlated with therapeutic resistance in a broad range of cancers. Accumulation of HIF-1α under hypoxia is mainly controlled by
Metformin, a well-known insulin-sensitizer commonly used for type 2 diabetes therapy, has recently emerged as potentially very attractive drug also in oncology. It is cheap, it is relatively safe and many reports have indicated effects in cancer prevention and therapy. These desirable features are
In this report, we investigate several examples of hypoxia-induced drug resistance and compare them with P-glycoprotein associated multidrug resistance (MDR). EMT6/Ro cells exposed to drugs in air immediately after hypoxic treatment developed resistance to adriamycin, 5-fluorouracil, and actinomycin
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) has a adverse impact to the living quality of cancer patients. This side effect of CIPN limit the dose of drug used in many chemotherapies, such as vincristine (VCR). The activation of microglia in the spinal dorsal horn is involved in the occurrence
Vincristine is a chemotherapeutic agent that disrupts microtubules. We noted that paclitaxel (Taxol), which stabilizes microtubules, protected cultured adult mouse cardiac myocytes from oxidative stress induced by H(2)O(2). We hypothesized that vincristine, which disrupts microtubules, should have
