The effects of heat on intracellular accumulation of anthracyclines were investigated by laser flow cytometry analysis. Sarcoma-180 cells were exposed to Adriamycin (ADM), epirubicin (EPIR), daunomycin (DM), THP-Adriamycin (THP), ME-2303 (ME) and KRN-8602 (KRN) at 37 degrees C and at higher temperatures. There was a dose-dependent increase in the fluorescence intensity of all drugs at 37 degrees C, but heat varied the fluorescence intensity of each drug. At 43 degrees C the cellular fluorescence of ADM and EPIR increased by approximately 200%, but for DM the increase was 110-130%. The cellular fluorescence of THP and ME was little affected by heat, and heat reduced that of KRN to 80-90%. Each drug showed was unique in the relationship between drug exposure time and the fluorescence intensity at 37 degrees C and 43 degrees C. Cytotoxicity determined by the MTT assay was enhanced with heat in the cases of ADM and EPIR, but not with DM, THP, ME, or KRN. Thus, ADM and EPIR are expected to show enhanced antitumor activities when given in combination with hyperthermia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006979 Hyperthermia, Induced Abnormally high temperature intentionally induced in living things regionally or whole body. It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs. Fever Therapy,Hyperthermia, Local,Hyperthermia, Therapeutic,Thermotherapy,Induced Hyperthermia,Therapeutic Hyperthermia,Therapy, Fever,Local Hyperthermia
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D008815 Mice, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations, or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. All animals within an inbred strain trace back to a common ancestor in the twentieth generation.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D005453 Fluorescence The property of emitting radiation while being irradiated. The radiation emitted is usually of longer wavelength than that incident or absorbed, e.g., a substance can be irradiated with invisible radiation and emit visible light. X-ray fluorescence is used in diagnosis.
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.
