adriamycin/hypoxia

Glucose and anoxia accelerate the photocount due to luminescence of Ehrlich Ascites cells. Adriamycin also has this effect if glucose is present. Comparison with a chemical standard combined with estimates of cellular and population transmittance yield a photon generation rate of at least 10 . s-1 .

Despite improvement in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) treatments, most patients had a poor prognosis and suffered from chemo-resistance and disease relapse. Therefore, there is an urgent need for elucidation of mechanism(s) underlying drug resistance in AML. In the present study, we found AML cells

Ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) are sources of tumor chemoresistance and recurrence. A hypoxic microenvironment contributes to the chemoresistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs), but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood yet. Here, we show that increased HIF-2α expression is associated

Purpose: Discovering new antimyocardial ischemia drug candidates that are highly efficient, have low toxicity, and originate from natural products is a popular trend for new cardiovascular drug development at present. The ethanol extract of Livistona chinensis leaves showed a favorable

The activation of autophagy has been demonstrated to exert protective roles during hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced brain injuries. This study aimed to investigate whether and how preconditioning with a proteasome inhibitor (MG-132), a proteasome promoter (Adriamycin, ADM), an autophagy inhibitor

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

BACKGROUND Hypoxia-tolerant human glioma cells reduce oxygen consumption rate in response to oxygen deficit, a defense mechanism that contributes to survival under moderately hypoxic conditions. In contrast, hypoxia-sensitive cells lack this ability. As it has been previously shown that

OBJECTIVE To study the reversal effect of the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α inhibitor, YC-1, on multidrug resistance of K562/A02 cells and its mechanism. METHODS Pre- and post- incubation with adriamycin (ADM) alone or in combination with YC-1 for 48 h, the proliferation capacity of K562/A02 and

Tumour hypoxia plays a role in chemoresistance in several human tumours. However, how hyperbaric oxygen leads to chemotherapeutic gain is unclear. This study investigates the relation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation with anti-tumoural effect of adriamycin (ADR) on CCRF-CEM cells under

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of digoxin on the chemoresistance of human breast cancer cell line MCF-7/adriamycin (ADR) and its underlying mechanism. MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells were designated as control and ADR groups, respectively. MCF-7/ADR cells in ADR + digoxin group

Cellular hypoxia has been proposed as a major factor in the pathogenesis of chronic renal injury, yet to date there has been no direct evidence to support its importance. Therefore, we examined cortical hypoxia in an animal model of chronic renal injury (murine adriamycin nephrosis; AN) by assessing

A case of acute pulmonary complication following intra-arterial infusion of Lipiodol-Adriamycin emulsion for hepatocellular carcinoma was reported. Intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy was performed on a 75-year-old male with Lipiodol-Adriamycin emulsion (Lipiodol 8 ml + Adriamycin 40 mg). Severe
