As a control, cells without pretreatment were also irradiated. The cell survival rate was determined using a conventional clonogenic survival assay. The enhanced effects of radiation-induced cell killing, depending upon the concentration of SN-38, were presented with a decrease of shoulder part or extrapolation number (n) of survival curve, corrected for the cytotoxicity of SN-38 alone. The value of D0 was unchanged after SN-38 pretreatment. These results suggested that the pretreatment with SN-38 inhibited potentially lethal damage repair in the cell line, leading to the potentiation of irradiation effects., 弘前医学. 51(1), 1999, p.10-14}, pages = {10--14}, title = {Combined Treatment Effects of Irradiation and SN-38, an Active Metabolite of Camptothecin Derivative Irinotecan, on the Human Tumor Cell Line PECA 4197}, volume = {51}, year = {1999} }
