To further intensify treatment, substances need to be identified, which increase the effect of radiation on tumor cells without further enhancing toxicity to normal tissue. Hormones have a different toxicity profile than radiation or cytostatic drugs. As NSCLC often express estrogen receptors (ERs), the combination of genistein or estradiol and radiation in vitro was investigated. Material and Methods: A549 NSCLC cells with an inducible expression of a mutated TP53 and fibroblasts of a male donor (DF-18) were examined. ER expression was immunocytologically confirmed in all studied cell lines. Clonogenic survival was measured after incubation of the cells with genistein or estradiol (0.01 mu M and 10 mu M as maximum clinically applicable dose) and irradiation with different doses (0-4 Gy). The differentiation state of fibroblasts after combined therapy was analyzed. Results: A549 cells expressing mutated TP53 were more radioresistant than TP53 wild-type cells. Incubation of nonfunctional TP53 cells with genistein or estradiol increased radiosensitivity in both tested concentrations. By contrast, radiosensitivity of A549 with wild-type TP53 and DF-18 was not altered by hormonal incubation. In DF-18 radiation induced growth arrest that was not increased by additional hormonal incubation. Conclusion: NSCLC cells with nonfunctional TP53 might be sensitized against radiation by genistein or estradiol. As genistein is better tolerable than estradiol in patients, additional studies are warranted to assess potential gains of this combination therapy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00066-007-1561-0"],["dc.identifier.isi","000245452600006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","17406801"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/51725"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Urban & Vogel"],["dc.relation.issn","0179-7158"],["dc.title","Radiosensitization dependent on p53 function in bronchial carcinoma cells by the isoflavone genistein and estradiol in vitro"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Fludarabine does imply nearly the same mechanisms of action as gemcitabine, inhibiting various enzymes involved in DNA replication. This investigation focuses on the combined effect of either fludarabine or gemcitabine and radiation on human squamous carcinoma cell lines in vitro, providing data for future decisions on head and neck chemoradiotherapy regimen. Materials and methods: ZMK-1, A549, BW-225, GR-145, OH-65 and CaSki cell lines were incubated with either drug at defined schedules and irradiated at a single fraction dose of 2 Gy every 24 hours up to 8 Gy. Cytotoxic effects were measured by colony-forming assays, quantitative determination of apoptosis and isobologram analysis. Results: Incubation of fludarabine led to a radiosensitizing effect in the A549, CaSki and ZMK-1 cell lines and an additive effect in the BW-225, GR-145 and OH-65 cell lines. Treatment with gemcitabine only indicated significant radiosensitization in the CaSki cell line in combination with augmented resistance against gemcitabine application alone. Conclusions: Our results reveal a potential radiosensitizing effect of fludarabine and its possible application in chemoradiotherapy of advanced head and neck carcinoma and possibly other tumor entities."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1080/09553000802241754"],["dc.identifier.isi","000258002000003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18661380"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/55460"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Informa Healthcare"],["dc.relation.issn","0955-3002"],["dc.title","The combined effect of fludarabine monophosphate and radiation as well as gemcitabine and radiation on squamous carcinoma tumor cell lines in vitro"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
