Synergistic enhancement of 5-fluorouracil cytotoxicity by deoxyuridine analogs in cancer cells
5-Fluorouracil (FU) is a halogenated nucleobase analog that is widely used in chemotherapy. Here we show that 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (hmUdR) synergistically enhances the activity of FU in cell lines derived from solid tumors but not normal tissues. While the cytotoxicity of FU and hmUdR was not directly related to the amount of the modified bases incorporated into cellular DNA, incubat...
متن کاملIn Vitro Synergistic Enhancement of Newcastle Disease Virus to 5-Fluorouracil Cytotoxicity against Tumor Cells
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy is one of the antitumor therapies used worldwide in spite of its serious side effects and unsatisfactory results. Many attempts have been made to increase its activity and reduce its toxicity. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is still a widely-used chemotherapeutic agent, especially in combination with other chemotherapies. Combination therapy seems to be the best option for target...
متن کاملHistone deacetylase inhibitor enhances 5-fluorouracil cytotoxicity by down-regulating thymidylate synthase in human cancer cells.
Thymidylate synthase (TS) overexpression is a key determinant of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance in human cancer cells. TS is also acutely up-regulated with 5-FU treatment, and, thus, novel strategies targeting TS down-regulation seem to be promising in terms of modulating 5-FU resistance. Here, we report that histone deacetylase inhibitors can reverse 5-FU resistance by down-regulating TS. By...
متن کاملEnhancement of 5-fluorouracil sensitivity by an rTS signaling mimic in H630 colon cancer cells.
The rTSbeta protein has been hypothesized to synthesize signaling molecules that can down-regulate thymidylate synthase. These molecules share biological and chemical properties with acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL), suggesting some AHLs might act as rTS signaling mimics and down-regulate thymidylate synthase. We have determined that the AHL, 3-oxododecanoyl homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C12-(L)-HSL)...
متن کاملUsing 5-fluorouracil-encored plga nanoparticles for the treatment of colorectal cancer: the in-vitro characterization and cytotoxicity studies
Objective(s): Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent cancer worldwide. The present study aimed to synthesize and investigate the potential of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) conjugated with polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) incorporating 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Materials and Methods: The NPs were investigated in terms of various characteristics, such as the particle size, ...
