The cancer cells residing in the hypoxic layer are resistant to radiation and these are ones responsible for cancer recurrence after radiation therapy. One of the reasons why hypoxic cancer cells acquire radioresistance may be attributable to changes in the gene expression profile by the activation of hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs). However, the details underlying this process remain unknown. In...
Since polyacrylic acid capped platinum nano-particles (nano-Pts) are known to have a unique ability to quench superoxide (O2−) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the anti-oxidant activity of nano-Pts against apoptosis induced by x-irradiation in human lymphoma U937 cells was investigated. DNA fragmentation assay, Annexin V-FITC/PI by flow cytometry and Giemsa staining revealed a significant decrease in...
Sanazole has been tested clinically as a hypoxic cell radiosensitizer. In this study, we determined whether sanazole enhances the radiation-induced apoptosis of human lymphoma U937 cells. Our results revealed that, compared with 10 mM sanazole or radiation alone, the combination of both resulted in a significant enhancement of apoptosis after 6 h, which was evaluated on the basis of DNA fragmentation,...
