flucytosine and Liver Neoplasms

flucytosine has been researched along with Liver Neoplasms in 29 studies

Flucytosine: A fluorinated cytosine analog that is used as an antifungal agent.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To investigate the antitumor effects of cytosine deaminase (CD) gene in combination with prodrug flucytosine (Flu, 5-fluorocytosine) on human hepatocellular carcinoma."7.70Gene therapy for human hepatocellular carcinoma with cytosine deaminase gene and prodrug flucytosine. ( Gao, HZ; Gu, B; Liang, YQ; Lü, HZ; Wan, YL; Wang, JX; Wu, DZ, 1999)
" Although it has been shown in several in vitro studies that the bacterial cytosine deaminase (CD) gene/5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) system is superior to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) gene/ganciclovir (GCV) system, we examined here which suicide gene system was more promising in vivo for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)."3.70Comparison of gene therapy with the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene and the bacterial cytosine deaminase gene for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. ( Akahane, T; Fukui, H; Kojima, H; Kuriyama, S; Mitoro, A; Nakatani, T; Okamoto, S; Toyokawa, Y; Tsujinoue, H; Yamazaki, M, 1999)
"To investigate the antitumor effects of cytosine deaminase (CD) gene in combination with prodrug flucytosine (Flu, 5-fluorocytosine) on human hepatocellular carcinoma."3.70Gene therapy for human hepatocellular carcinoma with cytosine deaminase gene and prodrug flucytosine. ( Gao, HZ; Gu, B; Liang, YQ; Lü, HZ; Wan, YL; Wang, JX; Wu, DZ, 1999)
"Treatment of Hep3B, human liver cancer cells, with the prodrug 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) in the presence of HB1."1.38Synergistic effects of genetically engineered stem cells expressing cytosine deaminase and interferon-β via their tumor tropism to selectively target human hepatocarcinoma cells. ( Choi, KC; Hwang, KA; Jeung, EB; Kang, NH; Kim, HC; Kim, SU; Yi, BR, 2012)
"Orthotopic colon cancer models were developed."1.32Improvement of carcinoembryonic antigen-specific prodrug gene therapy for experimental colon cancer. ( Iwahashi, M; Matsuura, I; Nakamori, M; Nakamura, M; Ojima, T; Ueda, K; Yamaue, H, 2003)
"In mice bearing liver cancer, (60)Co-irradiated MM45T."1.31[Combined gene therapy for murine liver cancer with interleukin-18 and cytosine deaminase genes]. ( Chen, S; Sun, W; Tang, Y; Tang, Z; Wei, D, 2001)
"In a hepatic metastasis model, mice treated with an intravenous administration of both AdCD (2 x 10(8) pfu) and an intermediate dose of AdmIL-2 (1 x 10(6) pfu) demonstrated the most significant reduction of metastatic foci and the longest survival following a 5-FC administration."1.31Dose of adenoviral vectors expressing interleukin-2 plays an important role in combined gene therapy with cytosine deaminase/5-fluorocytosine: preclinical consideration. ( Hamada, H; Iwahashi, M; Nakamori, M; Terasawa, H; Tsunoda, T; Ueda, K; Yamaue, H, 2002)
"These results suggest that (1) intrahepatic cancer responds to 5FC when cells express yCD; (2) the luciferin-luciferase system permits non-invasive real time imaging of viable intrahepatic cancer; and (3) this system can be used to carry out gene therapy experiments using yCD adenovirus."1.31The potential of 5-fluorocytosine/cytosine deaminase enzyme prodrug gene therapy in an intrahepatic colon cancer model. ( Dornfeld, KJ; Kievit, E; Lawrence, TS; Nyati, MK; Rehemtulla, A; Ross, BD; Rynkiewicz, SD; Symon, Z, 2002)
"After transfecting three human hepatoma cell lines and one non-hepatoma cell line with LX2."1.30[Experimental studies in vitro on the alpha-fetoprotein-specific promoter mediated target gene therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma]. ( Fang, F; Liu, D; Lu, C; Pan, G; Quan, S, 1999)
"The growth of the human colon cancer cells was quantified by dot blot analysis of genomic DNA extracted from tumor-bearing liver, hybridized with a human-specific Alu probe."1.29Regional delivery of an adenovirus vector containing the Escherichia coli cytosine deaminase gene to provide local activation of 5-fluorocytosine to suppress the growth of colon carcinoma metastatic to liver.
