Disease relevance of Platinol

 

High impact information on Platinol

  • Exposure of such cells in vitro to soluble human TRAIL in combination with CDDP or etoposide resulted in synergistic cell death that could be blocked by soluble TRAIL-neutralizing DR5-Fc or the caspase inhibitors, Z-Asp-CH2-DCB and CrmA [1].
  • These results demonstrate that enhancement of cytotoxic activity against CDDP-treated cells by caffeine is characterized by an acceleration of DNA degradation in G2 + M phase, namely apoptotic cell death [2].
  • Proteins can be detected by South-western analyses of human tumour-cell extracts binding to double-stranded oligonucleotide DNA treated in vitro with the chemotherapeutic drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP), but not to untreated DNA [4].
  • In contrast, CDDP, VP-16, and the protein synthesis inhibitors, Act-D and CHX sensitized DU145 cells to TNF-alpha killing [5].
  • This study demonstrated that PTX, in combination with TNF-alpha, IFN-alpha or CDDP, overcame the drug resistance to RCC cells and that downregulation of TNF-alpha mRNA by PTX may be related to the cytotoxicity enhanced by the combination [6].
