Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent for Kaposi sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and multicentric Castleman disease (MCD). Like other herpesviruses, it has latent and lytic repertoires. However, there is evidence that some lytic genes can be directly
Based upon the radiation sensitization properties of the halogenated pyrimidines, 5-iododeoxyuridine (IdUrd) and 5-bromodeoxyuridine, long term i.v. infusions of halogenated pyrimidines in conjunction with fractionated radiation therapy have been evaluated in the treatment of a variety of human
Cultured normal and Rous sarcoma virus-infected chicken fibroblasts do not differ in the concentrations of thymidine or of hypoxanthine that they require to proliferate in the presence of a methotrexate block. For maximal proliferation, thymidine is required at 10(-6) M, while hypoxanthine is
The combined effect of methotrexate (MTX) with dipyridamole, an inhibitor of nucleoside transport, was studied in ascitic Sarcoma 180 cells. It was determined that 10 microM MTX inhibits by greater than 90% deoxy[3H]uridine incorporation into DNA and that this MTX concentration inhibits DNA
CSF cells in a case of primary reticulum cell sarcoma of the brain with diffuse subarachnoid spreading were examined by 3H-thymidine autoradiography. Immediately after lumbar puncture, the CSF withdrawn was incubated at 37 degrees C for 1 hr with an admixture of 3H-thymidine at a rate of 1 muCi/ml
Thymidine transport was found to be increased two-fold at a permissive temperature in the cells of a normal rat kidney (NRK) line which was infected with a temperature-sensitive Rous sarcoma virus. This increase in thymidine transport was independent of cell density and coincided with the changes in
OBJECTIVE
To examine the immunohistochemical distribution of thymidine phosphorylase (TP) in all clinicopathological subtypes of Kaposi sarcoma.
METHODS
Thirty two biopsy specimens of Kaposi sarcoma (29 patients) were studied. Six of these patients represented classic, six endemic, eight HIV
The modification of 3H-thymidine incorporation method of Tanigawa was used to the estimation of anchorage-independent growth of virally and chemically transformed rat cells. The relationship between colony forming assay and 3H-TdR incorporation test was determined, depends on the composition of
An in vitro double-labeling technique for determination of kinetic growth parameters was tested; 13 renal sarcomas of rats were incubated after excision under standardized conditions with 14C- and 3H-thymidine successively. Another ten tumors were evaluated after in vivo double injection of 14C and
Expression of thymidylate synthase (TS), thymidine phosphorylase (TP) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) can predict for clinical outcome of fluoropyrimidine-based therapy and there is every likelihood that relevant tumors will respond. High TP expression was observed in 35 (42%) patients
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of (18)F-3'-fluoro-3'-deoxy-L-thymidine positron emission tomography (FLT-PET) for the detection and grading of soft tissue sarcoma (STS).
METHODS
Nineteen patients with 20 STSs of the extremities were scanned, using attenuation
The aim of this study was to determine whether the expression of thymidine phosphorylase (TP) by uterine sarcoma and leiomyoma cells is associated with the density of microvessels within the tumor, and with Doppler ultrasound-derived peak systolic velocity (PSV) of blood flow. Sections of tissue
The cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter is considered one of the strongest positive regulators leading to expression of higher levels of the thymidine kinase (TK) enzyme than the Rous Sarcoma virus (RSV) promoter in vitro and in vivo. Cell killing efficacy of adenovirus-mediated CMV promoter-driven
We constructed lambda recombinants containing the Harvey murine sarcoma virus genome and the thymidine kinase (tk) gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 linked to each other. The tk gene was located in a position downstream from both the long terminal repeat and the src gene of Harvey murine sarcoma
BACKGROUND
This study sought to determine whether [(18)F]fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging allows assessment of tumor viability and proliferation in patients with soft tissue sarcomas who are treated with neoadjuvant therapy.
METHODS
Twenty
