摘要: Salinomycin (Sal) is potentially useful for the treatment of cancer. The present study examined a novel mechanism Sal sensitization in cancer cells. sensitized radiation-treated cells by inducing G2 arrest and causing DNA damage. also reduced p21 levels Considering that sensitizes doxorubicin (DOX)- or etoposide (ETO)-treated damage reducing expression, results from our suggest underlying conserved both chemo- We tested ability to inhibit p-glycoprotein (P-gp), which plays role efflux anti-cancer drugs reduce cellular In particular, we compared verapamil (Ver), well-known P-gp inhibitor. inhibits with different substrate distinct Ver. addition, Ver-resistant cells, indicating this compound more effective sensitizing than Taken together, may contribute development Sal-based therapy patients treated P-gp-inhibiting radiation therapy.
