EBV and not HPV sensitizes tobacco-associated head and neck cancer cell line FaDu to radiotherapy

Abstract: Conclusion EBV radiosensitized the p53 mutant tobacco associated head and neck cell line, FaDu. Objectives In the head and neck, HPV is a major risk factor associated with tonsil and base of tongue cancers, while a majority of undifferentiated nasopharyngeal cancers are positive for EBV. Clinically, head and neck tumors positive for HPV or EBV are more radiosensitive than tumors associated with tobacco and alcohol. We aimed to evaluate whether viral infections can sensitize tobacco-associated head and neck s… Show more

“…A well-differentiated NPC cell line (HK1) ( 25 ) and a hypopharyngeal carcinoma cell line (FaDu) ( 26 , 27 ) were routinely maintained in our laboratory. Cells were grown in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) in a humidified incubator at 37°C with 5% CO 2 and 95% air.…”
