Andrographolide pre-treatment enhances the anti-tumor activity of topotecan on acute myeloid leukemia cells in vitro by Rizk, Sandra

“…The pro-apoptotic effect upon combination of topotecan with andrographolide was further observed using annexin V/PI staining; even though andrographolide alone did not alter cell survival, however, when applied to the cells prior to topotecan treatment, the number of apoptotic cells increased from 16% to 57%. Conclusion: Pretreating acute myeloid leukemia cell lines with non-cytotoxic doses of andrographolide promotes the anti-tumor effect of topotecan in vitro.…”

Studies of Glyoxalase 1-Linked Multidrug Resistance Reveal Glycolysis-Derived Reactive Metabolite, Methylglyoxal, Is a Common Contributor in Cancer Chemotherapy Targeting the Splic... by Muhanad Alhujaily (11630107)

“…Spliceosomal gene expression correlated positively with Glo1 in human tumor cell lines and tumors. In clinical chemotherapy of breast cancer, increased expression of Glo1 was associated with decreased patient survival, with hazard ratio (HR) = 1.82 (logrank p < 0.001, n = 683) where upper quartile survival of patients was decreased by 64% with high Glo1 expression.…”
