Microtubule-poisoning drugs, such as Paclitaxel (or Taxol, PTX), are powerful and commonly used anti-neoplastic agents for the treatment of several malignancies. PTX triggers cell death, mainly through a mitotic arrest following the activation of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). Cells treated
Paclitaxel loaded thermosensitive magnetoliposomes containing 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-rac-glycerol (PG) were prepared by thin film hydration method. Encapsulation efficiencies of paclitaxel and citric acid coated Fe(3)O(4)
Hyperthermia, the heating of tissue from 41 to 45 °C, has been shown to improve the efficacy of cancer therapy when used in conjunction with irradiation and/or chemotherapy. In this work, hydrogel nanocomposites have been developed that can control the delivery of both heat and a chemotherapeutic
Multimodality therapy is considered of great interest in the treatment of locally advanced solid tumours. In previous experiments, paclitaxel (TX) and epirubicin (EP) were combined with different schedules, obtaining a superadditive effect on the growth of a murine mammary carcinoma. In the present
OBJECTIVE
To study enhancing effects of paclitaxel in the thermochemotherapy of osteosarcoma cell lines and related mechanisms.
METHODS
Paclitaxel and carboplatin were used alone or jointly on OS732 cell lines in the presence of hyperthermia. Inhibition of proliferation was measured by MTT assay and
OBJECTIVE
This paper aimed to evaluate the effects of a combination of paclitaxel and cisplatin on osteosarcoma (OS) cell lines in the presence of hyperthermia and to investigate the related mechanism.
METHODS
Two types of OS cell lines (OS732 and MG63) were treated with paclitaxel and cisplatin in
The importance of p53-function for the sensitivity to paclitaxel with and without hyperthermia (HT) was studied in an isogenic cell line system. The inactivation of p53 decreased sensitivity to paclitaxel (1.1-2.5-fold), which correlated with a lower induction of apoptosis. The magnitude of the G2/M
OBJECTIVE
The aim of our study was to investigate if the efficacy of paclitaxel and paclitaxel-radiation treatments in vivo could be enhanced by hyperthermia.
METHODS
Paclitaxel was administered i.p. in doses from 30 to 60 mg/kg b.w. to (C3D2F1) mice bearing spontaneous mammary carcinoma. Local
We developed a magnetic solid lipid nanoparticles formulation of paclitaxel (PTX-loaded MSLNs) via emulsification-diffusion method. The physicochemical characterization of PTX-loaded MSLNs was performed by AFM, DLS, determination of entrapment efficiency (EE) and drug loading (DL), DSC, VSM, and
We study the influence of ultrasound on paclitaxel-loaded nanocapsules in vitro and in vivo. These nanocapsules possess a shell of poly(dl-lactide-co-glycolide)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) and a liquid core of perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB). In vitro experiments show that mechanical effects such
BACKGROUND
The combination of chemotherapy and hyperthermia (HT) is a promising approach in the treatment of malignant tumors. In the present report we evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a combination of weekly paclitaxel combined with local hyperthermia in breast cancer.
METHODS
7 patients were
Apoptosis is induced by many kinds of therapy-related inducers, such as hyperthermia and chemotherapeutic agents. However, differences in apoptotic pathways between these inducers remain unclear, although knowing the differences is important to map out a therapeutic strategy. Therefore, we focused
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) can be exploited in biomedicine as agents for magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) treatments and as contrast enhancers in magnetic resonance imaging. New, oleate-covered, iron oxide particles have been prepared either by co-precipitation or thermal
BACKGROUND
Breast metastases from extra mammary tumors are extremely rare.
METHODS
Here we report the case of a 50-year-old female with histologically-confirmed gastric cancer metastasis to the breast who was adequately treated with loco-regional hyperthermia plus standard second-line chemotherapy
As a physical adjuvant approach in the treatment of solid tumors, regional hyperthermia plays a synergistic role in enhancing the efficacy of simultaneous chemotherapy. Paclitaxel (PTX) is an anti-mitotic taxane drug that is widely used in chemotherapy for the treatment of various human malignancies
