Application

Pirarubicin is used to study synergistic cytotoxicity and apoptosis of cancer cells. It is used to study how to protect multi-drug resistance cells from anthracycline induced cytotoxicity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pirarubicin, an anthracycline antibiotic that is an analog of doxorubicin, is an antineoplastic drug. Pirarubicin is transported into cells via a sodium-dependent nucleoside transporter.1,2 It is used to intercalate DNA and inhibit the activity of topoisomerase II and induce DNA crosslinking.

High-risk human papillomaviruses (hr-HPVs) cause cervical cancer, the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. A HPV-16 candidate therapeutic vaccine, LALF32-51-E7, was developed by fusing a modified E7 protein to a bacterial cell-penetrating peptide (LALF): this elicited both tumour protection

We used confocal microspectrofluorometry to investigate intracellular distribution of pirarubicin or THP-DOX in parental K562, CEM, and LR73 tumor cells and their corresponding multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. Each spectrum of a recorded image was considered as a combination of cell autofluorescence

Anti-Fas monoclonal antibody (mAb) kills Fas-expressing cells by apoptosis. Several anticancer agents also mediate apoptosis and may share common intracellular pathways leading to apoptosis with Fas. Thus, we reasoned that combination treatment of drug-resistant cells with anti-Fas mAb and drugs
