Radiosensitivity of Human Melanoma Cell Lines
Cutaneous melanoma is a skin cancer resulting from the malign transformation of skinpigmented cells, the melanocytes. The radiotherapy, alone or in combination with other treatments, is an important therapy for this disease. The objective of this paper was to determine in vitro the radiosensitivity of two human melanoma cell lines with different metastatic capability: WM35 and M1/15, and to stu...
متن کاملPhotosensitivity and Radiosensitivity of Indocyanine Green on Human Cell Lines MCF7 and DFW
Background & Aims: In this study with the aim of benefiting from non-laser sources in photodynamic therapy, photo and radio sensitivity of indocyanine green as a sensitizer in photodynamic and radiation therapies were investigated. Methods: Based on the broad absorption peak of indocyanine green and using non-coherent light, the experiments were performed on human cells derived from breast canc...
متن کاملInvestigating micronucleus assay applicability for prediction of normal tissue intrinsic radiosensitivity in gynecological cancer patients.
BACKGROUND Pelvic organs morbidity after irradiation of cancer patients remains a major problem although new technologies have been developed and implemented. A relatively simple and suitable method for routine clinical practice is needed for preliminary assessment of normal tissue intrinsic radiosensitivity. The micronucleus test (MNT) determines the frequency of the radiation induced micronuc...
متن کاملGuggulsterone-Mediated Enhancement of Radiosensitivity in Human Tumor Cell Lines
PURPOSE To observe the effect of guggulsterone (GS) on the radiation response in human cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS The radiation response of cancer cells treated with GS was observed by cell survival studies, cell growth assay, NF-κB activity assay, western blotting of some key growth promoting receptors, the DNA repair protein γH2AX, and flow cytometry for DNA analyses. RESULT...
متن کاملInvestigation of Radiosensitivity Gene Signatures in Cancer Cell Lines
Intrinsic radiosensitivity is an important factor underlying radiotherapy response, but there is no method for its routine assessment in human tumours. Gene signatures are currently being derived and some were previously generated by expression profiling the NCI-60 cell line panel. It was hypothesised that focusing on more homogeneous tumour types would be a better approach. Two cell line cohor...
