Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is considered to be a key enzyme affecting the prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer. We investigated whether a correlation exists between the expression of DPD and survival in patients with colorectal cancer. The present study was designed to quantify the DPD level using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in tumors and normal tissue specimens obt...
5-FU is the drug most frequently used to treat biliary tract cancer, while dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is known to be a principal factor in 5-FU drug resistance. However, whether DPD activity and mRNA levels correlate with response to 5-FU is unknown for biliary tract cancers. The precise mechanism of DPD regulation also remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we quantitativel...
Background: Statins have been effective medications in lowering serum total cholesterol (TC) concentrations across populations over time. The aim of this study was to estimate national and provincial trends in atorvastatin sales in Iran, to systematically quantify its relationship with socio-economic indicators, and changes in TC level. Methods : In this retrospective ecological study, cond...
BACKGROUND Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is an enzyme that catabolizes 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which is widely used for chemotherapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the clinical importance of tumor dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) expression in patients with CRC treated with 5-FU remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated DPD activities in n...
Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of 5-fluorouracil (FUra), one of the most widely used anticancer drugs. Previous studies from our laboratory demon strated the clinical importance of DPD in cancer patients (G. D. Heggie, J-P. Sommadossi, D. S. Cross, W. J. Muster, and R. B. Diasio. Cancer Res., 47: 2203-2206, 1987; B. E. Harris, R. ...
Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is the rate-limiting enzyme of 5-fluorouracil (FU) catabolism, which occurs mainly in the liver. Several cases of severe FU-related toxicity have been reported in patients exhibiting a marked DPD deficiency measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In addition, it has been shown that PBMC-DPD activity correlates to systemic FU clearance. The p...
Thymidine phosphorylase (TP) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) are the major catabolic enzymes of 5-FU. In this study, we analyzed the concentration of TP and DPD in non-small cell lung cancer tissue by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We measured the TP and DPD levels in 25 adenocarcinoma tissues and 25 squamous cell carcinoma tissues. The mean TP concentration in non-small cell lung...
Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) is responsible for degradation of the pyrimidines uracil and thymine and the inactivation of the chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil. DPD activity is highly variable in cancer populations, and this variation may influence the antitumor efficacy of 5-fluorouracil. However, little is known about the regulation of DPD mRNA expression in any tissues. Using a ...
Numerical integration schemes based upon the Shardlow-splitting algorithm (SSA) are presented for dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) approaches at various fixed conditions, including a constant-enthalpy (DPD-H) method that is developed by combining the equations-of-motion for a barostat with the equations-of-motion for the constant-energy (DPD-E) method. The DPD-H variant is developed for both...
BACKGROUND Although 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used in chemotherapeutic treatment for gallbladder cancer, there is little evidence of its effectiveness. Thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) are the major determinants of individual sensitivity to 5-FU, and the impact of TS and DPD expression on prognosis and 5-FU efficacy has been studied in gastrointestinal c...
