Journal ArticleDOI

Cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, apoptosis and the autophagic effects of silver nanoparticles in mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

TL;DR: Interestingly, AgNPs induced morphological and biochemical markers of autophagy in NIH 3T3 cells and induced autophagosome formation, as evidenced by transmission electron microscopic analysis, the formation of microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain-3 (LC3) puncta and the expression of LC3-II protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combination treatment with arsenic trioxide and irradiation enhances autophagic effects in U118-MG cells through increased mitotic arrest and regulation of PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 signaling pathways.

TL;DR: The enhanced cytotoxic effect of IR combined with ATO was through induction of more autophagy in U118-MG cells, which were characterized by the presence of acidic vascular organelle formation, determined by electron microscopic observation and immunoblotting of LC3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combination treatment with arsenic trioxide and irradiation enhances cell-killing effects in human fibrosarcoma cells in vitro and in vivo through induction of both autophagy and apoptosis.

TL;DR: Investigation of the anticancer effects of ionizing radiation (IR) combined with arsenic trioxide (ATO) in human fibrosarcoma cells in vitro and in xenograft tumors in SCID mice in vivo suggests that a combination of IR and ATO could be a new potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of fibrosARcoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid, an Inhibitor of Histone Deacetylase, Enhances Radiosensitivity and Suppresses Lung Metastasis in Breast Cancer In Vitro and In Vivo

TL;DR: It is found that IR combined with SAHA showed increased therapeutic efficacy when compared with either treatment alone in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cells and SAHA not only enhances radiosensitivity but also suppresses lung metastasis in breast cancer.
