摘要: Our previous studies on selenite cytotoxicity led us to hypothesize that drug resistant tumor cells with high intracellular glutathione will exhibit a degree of sensitivity selenite. To examine this we studied the effects human ovarian (NIH:OVCAR-3) in three assays cytotoxicity: proliferation; cell viability (trypan blue exclusion); and attachment solid matrix. The were sensitive low levels selenite: concentrations as 5 microM inhibited proliferation attachment; was decreased by 20 microM. In each these NIH:OVCAR-3 more than (A2780) cells. These results suggest potential for utilization treatment some tumors.
