Antiapoptotic activity of NF-Kappa B (NF-kappaB) in tumors contributes to acquisition of resistance to chemotherapy. The effect of millimeter waves (MMWs) on NF-kappaB activation induced by cyclophosphamide (CPA) was studied in the spleen of mice. CPA, an anticancer drug, caused a marked increase (58.9-fold) in NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity as compared to the control group. No significant enhancement in NF-kappaB activity (0.51-fold) was observed when the CPA group was also irradiated with MMWs. These results suggest that treatment with MMWs can inhibit activation of NF-kappaB induced by chemotherapeutic drugs.
核因子-κB(NF-κB)在肿瘤中的抗凋亡活性有助于肿瘤获得化疗耐药性。本研究在小鼠脾脏中探讨了毫米波(MMW)对环磷酰胺(CPA)诱导的NF-κB激活的影响。抗癌药物CPA可使NF-κB DNA结合活性相较于对照组显著增加(58.9倍)。当CPA组同时接受MMW照射时,未观察到NF-κB活性有明显增强(0.51倍)。这些结果表明,MMW治疗可抑制化疗药物诱导的NF-κB激活。
