Bei der Behandlung des fortgeschrittenen Ovarialkarzinoms stellt die Resistenz gegenüber den üblicherweise eingesetzten Zytostatika das größte therapeutische Problem dar. Die Kombination verschiedener Substanzen erhöht zwar die Ansprechrate sowie die Dauer des rezidivfreien Intervalls. Dennoch kommt es bei der Mehrzahl der Fälle zu einem Rezidiv mit konsekutiver Zytostatikaresistenz. Die Kombination von TRAIL (TNF-Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand) mit verschiedenen Zytostatika bewirkte im Zellkulturmodell bei Zelllinien verschiedener Tumorentitäten synergistische Effekte. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit sollte untersucht werden, ob TRAIL bei Zytostatika-resistenten Ovarialkarzinomzellen zur Proliferationshemmung und/oder Apoptoseinduktion führt und ob bei TRAIL-resistenten Tumorzellen wiederum die Behandlung mit verschiedenen Zytostatika zur Proliferationshemmung und/oder Apoptoseinduktion führt. Von der parentalen Ovarialkarzinomzelllinie HEY wurden mithilfe steigender Zytostatikum-Konzentrationen Zelllinien mit selektiver Resistenz gegen Cisplatin, Etoposid, Docetaxel und Paclitaxel kultiviert. Proliferationshemmung wurde mit dem WST-1-Assay (Roche) und Apoptose mit dem Cell Death Detection ELISA (Roche) quantifiziert. Alle resistenten Zellen zeigten eine TRAIL-bedingte Proliferationshemmung, die -mit Ausnahme bei der gegen Cisplatin resistenten Zelllinie -allerdings sig- AbstractChemotherapy resistance remains a key problem in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. Usage of various drug combinations has been successful to improve therapy response and relapse-free survival. Nonetheless, the majority of ovarian cancers relapse, consecutively developing drug resistance. The combination of TRAIL (TNF-Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand) and various cytostatic drugs such as platin derivates and taxanes has shown synergistic effects in tissue culture models when cancer cell lines of different origins were treated. Our study was performed to evaluate whether TRAIL can cause apoptosis and/or growth inhibition of chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines. To develop ovarian cancer cell lines with selective drug resistance, the parental cell line HEY was treated with increasing drug concentrations of cisplatin, etoposide, docetaxel, and paclitaxel, respectively. Growth inhibition was evaluated with the formazan-based WST-1 assay (Roche); apoptosis induction was evaluated with the Cell Death Detection ELISA (Roche). All resistant cell lines showed growth inhibition and apoptosis when treated with TRAIL. Apart from the cisplatin-resistant cell line, which responded almost similarly compared to the parental cell line, the TRAIL response of all other resistant cell lines was significantly weaker than of the parental cell line. Cisplatin-resistant cells showed the most, docetaxel-resistant cells the least reOriginalarbeit 1064 Institutsangaben
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
