Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the synergistic anti-tumor effects of cytarabine hyaluronic acid-tyramine (Ara-HA-Tyr) hydrogel conjugates and radiotherapy (RT) in the Lewis lung cancer (LLC) xenograft model, and the mechanisms involved. The radiotherapy sensitization ratio (SER) of 0.5 μg cytarabine (Ara-C) was 1.619 in the LLC cells. Ara-HA-Tyr was prepared by encapsulating Ara-C into hyaluronic acid-tyramine (HA-Tyr) conjugates. The hydrogels were formed through the oxidative coupling of tyramines by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Mice engrafted with the LLC cells were given intra-tumoral injections of saline, Ara-C or Ara-HA-Tyr, with or without RT. The combination of Ara-HA-Tyr and RT increased survival compared to free Ara-C and RT (p < 0.05), and prolonged tumor growth delay (TGD). Furthermore, the RT + Ara-HA-Tyr combination therapy significantly reduced 18F-FDG uptake, induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M-phase, increased apoptosis and histone H2AX phosphorylation (γ-H2AX), and decreased the proliferation index (Ki67) in tumor cells compared to either monotherapy. Taken together, Ara-C encapsulated with HA-Tyr effectively sensitized tumor xenografts to RT and showed significantly less syst...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
