Experiments have been carried out to determine whether the growth delay induced in small EMT6 spheroids (approximately 250 micrometers in diameter) by a range of cytotoxic drugs can be increased by pre-incubation of the spheroids under hypoxic conditions with misonidazole (MISO). Hypoxic pre-incubation was for 3 or 5 h in the presence of 5 mM MISO, and caused a growth delay of about 1 day or 2 days respectively. Sensitization to nitrogen mustard (HN2), melphalan, chlorambucil, BCNU and CCNU was seen, but the shapes of the dose-response curves and the ratio of effects for 3 h and 5 h pretreatment varied between the drugs. In contrast to the other agents, hypoxic pre-incubation with MISO reduced the spheroid response to adriamycin.
已经开展了实验,以确定在一系列细胞毒性药物诱导下,小型EMT6球体(直径约250微米)生长延迟是否可以通过在缺氧条件下用米索硝唑(MISO)预孵育球体来增强。在5 mM MISO存在下进行缺氧预孵育3或5小时,分别导致约1天或2天的生长延迟。观察到对氮芥(HN2)、美法仑、苯丁酸氮芥、卡莫司汀和洛莫司汀有增敏作用,但不同药物的剂量反应曲线形状以及3小时和5小时预处理的效应比有所不同。与其他药物相反,用MISO进行缺氧预孵育降低了球体对阿霉素的反应。
