Multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS) have the characteristics of chronically hypoxic cells in the center. We studied the effects of physiological oxygen environment on MTS growth and the cell lethality produced by doxorubicin (DXR) and cisplatin (DDP). MTS were made from 2 human lung cancer cell lines; PC-6 small cell and PC-10 squamous cell carcinoma, and grown for 2, 3 or 4 weeks; either in 5% CO2/air or 5% 02/5% CO2/90% N2. They were exposed to graded concentrations of DXR for 1 hr and cell lethality was determined by clonogenic assay. In the physiological oxygen environment MTS growth was retarded for both cell lines. PC-6 MTS grown in physiological oxygen environment were more sensitive to DXR than those developed in air. The differential sensitivity was most pronounced with the 2 week old MTS and gradually narrowed with increasing MTS size. In contrast, PC-10 MTS developed in the physiological oxygen environment were more resistant to DXR than those in air; the differences were again most pronounced in 2 week old MTS. There were little differences in cell kill effects of DDP, irrespective of cells being in monolayer or in MTS and growing in air or in physiological oxygen environment. These observations are consistent with the interpretation that cells in PC-6 MTS are scarcely affected by the physiological oxygen environment but easily affected by DXR, whereas cells in PC-10 MTS responded vice versa.</p>","PeriodicalId":21792,"journal":{"name":"Selective cancer therapeutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/sct.1989.5.13","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13896300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These polymers can release molecules of any size in a predictable fashion. Their degradation products are non-cytotoxic and biocompatible. The biocompatibility of a biodegradable polyanhydride, the copolymer of poly[bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)propane] anhydride and sebacic acid (PCPP-SA) in a 50:50 formulation, was studied in the rabbit brain. Twenty adult New Zealand White male rabbits underwent implantation of PCPP-SA in a frontal lobe and absorbable gelatin sponge (Gelfoam) in the other frontal lobe. The animals were evaluated daily until the time of sacrifice. Groups of four animals were sacrificed sequentially on post-operative days 1, 3, 7, 21, and 60, and the brains processed for histological evaluation. None of the animals showed behavioral changes or neurological deficits suggestive of toxicity and all that received implants survived to their date of sacrifice. The histological examination showed no significant differences between the tissue reaction from PCPP-SA compared to Gelfoam. The polymers were also tested in the rabbit cornea bioassay and did not induce an inflammatory response. We conclude that PCPP-SA (50:50), a new biodegradable polymeric matrix that can be surgically implanted for the interstitial delivery of drugs in the brain, is biocompatible in the rabbit brain.</p>","PeriodicalId":21792,"journal":{"name":"Selective cancer therapeutics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/sct.1989.5.55","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13911513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
