Liposarcomas (six of 11), malignant fibrous histiocytomas (six of nine), leiomyosarcomas (four of six), fibrosarcomas (two of three) revealed high or intermediate MDR1 expression at high frequency.
HT1080/DR4 (DR4) is a doxorubicin-resistant human fibrosarcoma line that exhibits 150-fold cross-resistance to etoposide but does not overexpress P-glycoprotein (one mechanism of multiple drug resistance).
The co-expression of MRP and MDR1 was recognized in 15 samples (38%) (5/11 liposarcomas, 5/9 malignant fibrous histiocytomas, 3/6 leiomyosarcomas, 2/3 fibrosarcomas) and significantly correlated with histological grade (P=0.0165).
A variety of drug-resistant human cancer cell lines derived by selection with mitoxantrone markedly overexpressed BCRP mRNA; these cell lines included sublines of human breast carcinoma (MCF-7), colon carcinoma (S1 and HT29), gastric carcinoma (EPG85-257), fibrosarcoma (EPF86-079), and myeloma (8226) origins.
Formulation of DCP-TEPA-based polycation liposomes (TEPA-PCL) complexed with siRNA was examined by performing knockdown experiments using stable EGFP-transfected HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells and siRNA for GFP.
Transcription kinetics of the beta-actin and c-myc genes in serum-stimulated fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cells determined by [3H]uridine incorporation were comparable to that determined by the nuclear run-off method.
We report here that CD97 expression in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells enhanced tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 secretion, leading to reduced membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase and matrix metalloproteinase 2 activities.

Using RAGE- or dominant-negative RAGE-expressing HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells, the present study revealed that papaverine suppressed RAGE-dependent cell proliferation and migration dose-dependently.
Furthermore, cells expressing ORF-1 protein produced fibrosarcomas when injected into nude mice, whereas control cells, expressing either no ORF-1 protein or C-terminal truncated (after residue 172) ORF-1 protein, were not tumorigenic.
Among these, compound <b>6b</b> induced a significant reduction in the expression level of CDK9 (cyclin-dependent kinase 9)/cyclin T1 in CFPAC-1 cells concomitant with attenuation of proliferative signaling mediated by c-Raf (rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma) and p38 MAP (mitogen-activated protein) kinases.

Mouse fibrosarcoma (3T3 cells transfected with different oncogenes), human neuroblastoma, or human prostate carcinoma cells have been genetically-tagged with different histochemical marker genes (E. coli lacZ, placental alkaline phosphatase, or Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase).
Regardless of their similarity, the 2-amino compounds are unable to inhibit AKR1B1 while the 2-acetic acid derivatives are not cytotoxic against fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cells.
In the current study, we found that subpopulations with elevated ALDH1 were present in the human sarcoma cell lines, MG63 (osteosarcoma) and HT1080 (fibrosarcoma), using Aldefluor assay.
Secretion of human soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor type I (sTNFRI) by the mouse fibrosarcoma cell line, L929, previously has been demonstrated to confer resistance to in vitro lysis by TNF and to LAK- and CTL-mediated cytolysis.
The motility stimulation of the fibrosarcoma cells with AMF is associated with the phosphorylation of the AMF receptor, a 78-kDa cell surface glycoprotein (gp78), suggesting protein kinase participation in migratory signal transduction.
In these xenografts tissues, the expression of miR-409-3p displayed an inverse correlation with ANG, which was also detected in human fibrosarcoma samples.
A neutralizing monoclonal antibody (MAb) 26-2F to human angiogenin, a potent inducer of neovascularization, has been shown previously to prevent or delay the appearance of angiogenin-secreting human colon, fibrosarcoma and lung tumor cell xenografts implanted subcutaneously (s.c.) into athymic mice.
Overexpression of miR-409-3p in fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells resulted in decreased steady-state level of ANG transcript and ANG production which were achieved through direct binding of this miRNA to the ANG 3'UTR.
