Four cloned murine neuroblastomas were implanted intramuscularly into the left thigh of adult A/Jax mice. Cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, adriamycin, imidazole carboxamide, and vincristine were administered intraperitoneally, in a dose of one third to one fourth of a median lethal dose, every week after the implantation until all the mice died. The effects of continuous long-term chemotherapy, particularly on clonal differences, were then assessed. Cyclophosphamide was most effective for four murine neuroblastomas, and cisplatin was the next most effective drug. Cisplatin was not effective in the NS-20 cell line, a cholinergic cloned neuroblastoma. The C 1300 cell line (wild type) was tolerant to adriamycin, imidazole carboxamide, and vincristine. The N-18 cell line (an inactive clone) exhibited tolerance of adriamycin and imidazole carboxamide. In the N1E-115 cell line, an adrenergic clone, tumor growth was inhibited by all the drugs given. We conclude from this study that drug sensitivity differs with the clone, and that there are clones resistant to each drug.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008805 Mice, Inbred A An inbred strain of mouse that is widely used in IMMUNOLOGY studies and cancer research. Mouse, Inbred A,Inbred A Mice,Inbred A Mouse
D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.

D001835 Body Weight The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms. Body Weights,Weight, Body,Weights, Body
D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D000620 Aminoimidazole Carboxamide An imidazole derivative which is a metabolite of the antineoplastic agents BIC and DIC. By itself, or as the ribonucleotide, it is used as a condensation agent in the preparation of nucleosides and nucleotides. Compounded with orotic acid, it is used to treat liver diseases. Ba 2756,Carboxamide, Aminoimidazole
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
