Radiation Resistant

Artemisinin and its derivatives, including artesunate (ART) and artemether (ARM), exert anticancer effects in the micromolar range in drug and radiation-resistant cell lines. Artemisinin has been reported to sensitize cervical cancer cells to radiotherapy. In the present study, we determined whether ART and ARM could enhance the cytotoxicity of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) against the mammary tumor cells of mice. The corrected PpIX fluorescence intensities in the control, 5-ALA, 5-ALA + ART, and 5-ALA + ARM groups were 3.385 ± 3.730, 165.7 ± 33.45, 139.0 ± 52.77, and 165.4 ± 51.10 a.u., respectively. At light doses of 3 and 5 J/cm2, the viability of 5-ALA-PDT-treated cells significantly decreased with ART (p < 0.01 and p < 0.01) and ARM treatment (p < 0.01 and p < 0.01). Besides, the number of annexin V-FITC and ethidium homodimer III-positive cells was greater in the 5-ALA-PDT with ARM group than that in the other groups. N-acetylcysteine could not significantly inhibit the percentages of apoptotic cells or inviable cells induced by 5-ALA-PDT with ARM. These reactive oxygen species-independent mechanisms might enhance cytotoxicity in 5-ALA-PDT with ARM-treated tumor cells, suggesting that the use of 5-ALA-PDT with ARM could be a new strategy to enhance PDT cytotoxicity against tumor cells. However, as these results are only based on in vitro studies, further in vivo investigations are required.

Unlabeled Antibody

Our studies of mammary tumor virus have included the application of the unlabeled antibody enzyme method of Sternberger to mammary tumor derived mouse cells in culture and observation with an electron microscope. The method avoids the extravagance of covalent binding of indicator molecules (horseradish peroxidase) with precious antibody locator molecules by relying instead upon specific antibody-antigen linkages. Our reagents included: Primary Antibody, rabbit anti-murine mammary tumor virus (MuMTV) which was antiserum 113 AV-2; Secondary Antibody, goat anti-rabbit IgG gamma chain (Cappel Laboratories); andthe Indicator, rabbit anti-horseradish peroxidase - horseradish peroxidase complex (PAP) (Cappel Labs.). Dilutions and washes were made in 0.05 M Tris 0.15 M saline buffered to pH 7.4. Cell monolayers, after light fixation in glutaraldehyde, were incubated in place by a protocol adapted from Sternberger and Graham and Karnovsky, then embedded by our usual method for monolayers. Reagents were confined to specific areas by neoprene 0-rings (Parker Seal Co.) reducing the amount of reagent needed to 50 microliters, 1/6th of that required to wet a 35 mm petri dish.
