Fever was continuously recorded and 24 h after induction acute phase reactant (APR) response was measured as indicated by the rise of alpha-macrofetoprotein (alpha M FP, alpha 2 macroglobulin of the rat).Controls received 0.9% saline i.c.v.
In vitro studies demonstrated that HA/anti-miR-21/PPAuNCs could enhance intracellular DOX accumulation in DOX-resistant HCC cells (HepG2/ADR cells) and increase the sensitivity to DOX of HepG2/ADR cells through upregulating PTEN protein expression mediated by anti-miR-21 and downregulating P-gp protein expression mediated by the hyperthermia of HA/PPAuNCs upon mild near-infrared irradiation.
Alterations in intracellular topotecan accumulation, the efflux of fluorescent probe substrates, expression and ATPase activity of ABCB1/ABCG2 and tumoursphere formation capacity of side population (SP) cells sorted after hyperthermia were examined to elucidate the mechanism of pelitinib-induced chemosensitization.
Both the in vitro and in vivo experiments show that hyperthermia activates the mdr1 promoter in a temperature- and time-dependent manner, leading to an up to 4-fold increase in mdr1 promoter-driven TNF-alpha expression at mRNA and an up to 3-fold increase at protein level.
Thus, hyperthermia combined with RCT (RCTT) in comparison with RCT alone does not lead to an increase in mdr1 gene expression in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer within the preoperative treatment schedule.
We found that patients carrying the CYP3A5*1/*3 genotype demonstrated more side effects of fever, pleural effusion, and febrile neutropenia than those with the CYP3A5*3/*3 genotype (p = 0.075, 0.077, and 0.030, respectively); moreover, patients with the ABCB1 2677G/G genotype also showed more side effects of fever and febrile neutropenia than those with other genotypes (p = 0.024 and 0.027), In regard to ABCB1 3435C>T, patients with ABCB1 3435C/C tended to suffer leucopenia (p = 0.057).
Cas-Ca was effectively used to encapsulate PRP, and the PRP and PRP-microcapsule were stored for six days under the condition of high temperature, lighting, and food additives to observe the PRP retention rate.
Here, we show that the combination of different effectors like hyperthermia, iron oxide nanoparticles, and chemotherapeutics influences expression of MRP 1 and 3 in an adenocarcinoma cell line.
Expression of multidrug resistance genes MVP, MDR1, and MRP1 determined sequentially before, during, and after hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion of soft tissue sarcoma and melanoma patients.
Moreover, the increase of ROS production in cancer cells after hyperthermia upregulated HCP-1 expression and downregulated ABCG2 expression.These regulation were inhibited by NAC.
While pelitinib did not modulate ABCB1/ABCG2 expressions, the combination of pelitinib with transporter substrate anticancer drugs induced more marked apoptosis, specifically in cells exposed to hyperthermia.
When we examined ACE genotype frequencies according to the clinical characteristics, we found a statistically significant association between DD+ID genotype and fever (p=0.04).
The cadmium (Cd) bioaccumulation factor (BF), activity of the neurotoxicity biomarker acetylcholinesterase (AChE), dopamine content, expression and amount of Hsp70 in the brain and locomotor activity were evaluated in the 4th instar of Lymantria dispar L. caterpillars fed a Cd supplemented diet and reared in an optimal temperature regime (23 °C) and/or exposed to high temperature (28 °C).
Results indicated that ACTIN and 18S were optimal for developmental stage and low temperature, TUB and 18S showed the most stable expression for sex, and GAPDH and ACTIN were the best reference genes for monitoring gene expression at high temperature.
Most of the 38 Ad14-infected patients who had medical records available for review presented with fever and cough; 29 (76%) required hospitalization, 23 (61%) required supplemental oxygen, 18 (47%) required critical care, 9 (24%) required vasopressors, and 7 (18%) died.
