Nephrotoxicity remains a problem for patients who receive cisplatin chemotherapy. We retrospectively evaluated potential risk factors cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity as well the impact of intravenous magnesium supplementation on such toxicity.We reviewed clinical data 401 underwent chemotherapy including high dose (≥60 mg/m2) in first-line setting. was defined an increase serum creatinine concentration at least grade 2 during first course chemotherapy, assessed basis National Cancer...

Abstract The molecular mechanism by which epidermal growth factor receptor–tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) induce apoptosis in non–small cell-lung cancer (NSCLC) cells that are positive for activating mutations of the EGFR remains unclear. In this study, we report effects EGFR-TKI gefitinib on expression antiapoptotic protein survivin have functional consequences mutation–positive NSCLC cells. Immunoblot analysis revealed downregulated expression, likely through inhibition PI3K-AKT...

Loss of PTEN was recently shown to contribute resistance epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through activation the protein AKT. We previously showed that downregulation expression antiapoptotic survivin by EGFR-TKIs contributes EGFR-TKI-induced apoptosis NSCLC cells. have now investigated role EGFR-TKI induced loss. The erlotinib did not affect or induce cells with Downregulation either...

We previously showed that tumor-derived heregulin, a ligand for HER3, is associated with both de novo and acquired resistance to cetuximab. have now examined whether patritumab, novel neutralizing monoclonal antibody able overcome such resistance. Human colorectal cancer (DiFi) cells are highly sensitive cetuximab were engineered stably express heregulin by retroviral infection, the effects of patritumab on resulting DiFi-HRG examined. released substantial amounts Cetuximab alone inhibited...

Therapeutic strategies that target c-Src hold promise for a wide variety of cancers. We have now investigated both the effects dasatinib, which inhibits activity and several other kinases, on cell growth as well mechanism dasatinib resistance in human gastric cancer lines. Immunoblot analysis revealed activation at various levels most lines examined. Dasatinib inhibited phosphorylation extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) induced G(1) arrest, by flow cytometry, subset responsive In...

Amatuximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that targets mesothelin, which expressed in virtually all mesotheliomas and pancreatic adenocarcinomas. The objective of this study was to determine the dose-limiting toxicity maximum tolerated dose. Patients with mesothelioma, adenocarcinoma or other mesothelin-positive solid tumors were eligible for study. administered weekly as an intravenous infusion 4-week cycles at progressively increasing doses ranging from 50 200 mg/m(2).
