Paclitaxel and radiotherapy: sequence-dependent efficacy--a preclinical model.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The optimal sequence of a paclitaxel-radiation combination was investigated in vitro in two human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, HT29 and LoVo. Three schedules of combined treatment were tested by clonogenic and flow cytometric assays. Paclitaxel was given 24 h prior to a single radiation shot (first schedule) or 24 h (second schedule) or 48 h (third schedule) before 3 days of concomitant radiation. Dose-response data were fit to a linear quadratic model, and mean inactivation dose and sensitizer enhanced ratio were calculated. In HT29 cells, the first and second schedule resulted in an additive effect, whereas a supraadditive interaction was observed with the third combination schedule. This effect was obtained with amounts of paclitaxel lower than IC50, which did not result in cell cycle perturbation, and with low radiation dose (2 Gy) that may be given in a clinical setting. LoVo cells were less sensitive to combined treatment than HT29 cells, switching from infraadditive (first and second schedule) to additive interaction (third schedule). Posttreatment recovery studies of third schedule showed a loss of cell survival in HT29 cells but not in LoVo cells. In contrast to LoVo cells, the third schedule in HT29 cells was able to induce perturbation of cell cycle kinetics, an effective impairment of DNA repair, and apoptotic cell death. HT29 and LoVo cells showed constitutional different characteristics: HT29 cells were more sensitive to paclitaxel exposure, less radiosensitive, and had a different cell cycle redistribution after radiation exposure than LoVo cells; moreover, HT29 cells showed a major propensity to undergo apoptosis. These results suggest that the radiosensitizing effect of paclitaxel was strictly schedule dependent, and the inhibition of DNA repair, cell cycle redistribution, and apoptosis could be the mechanisms for the induction of radiosensitization by paclitaxel.

130-nm albumin-bound paclitaxel enhances tumor radiocurability and therapeutic gain.
PURPOSE 130-nm albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is a novel solvent-free albumin-bound paclitaxel, designed to avoid solvent-related toxicity. Nab-paclitaxel has been successfully introduced into the clinic but its radiation-enhancing potential has not yet been evaluated. We conducted a preclinical evaluation of the radiation-modulating effects of nab-paclitaxel in tumor and normal tiss...

Brain (central nervous system; CNS) metastases pose a life-threatening problem for women with advanced metastatic breast cancer. It has recently been shown that the vasculature within preclinical brain metastasis model markedly restricts paclitaxel delivery in approximately 90% of CNS lesions. Therefore to improve efficacy, we have developed an ultra-small hyaluronic acid (HA) paclitaxel nanoco...

Methamphetamine (MA) is a highly addictive psychostimulant drug with crucial impacts on individuals on various levels. Exposure to methamphetamine-associated cues in laboratory can elicit measureable craving and autonomic reactivity in most individuals with methamphetamine dependence and the cue reactivity can model how craving would result in continued drug seeking behaviors and relapse in rea...

This paper presents a new mixed-integer goal programming (MIGP) model for a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates. Two objectives are considered in the model to minimize the total weighted flow time and the total weighted tardiness simultaneously. Due to the com-plexity of the above model and uncertainty involved in real-world scheduling probl...
