Abstract
Glioma coined as 'butterfly tumor' exhibits intense heterogeneity at the molecular and cellular levels. Although, Temozolomide exerted a long-ranging and prevailing therapeutic effect against glioma, albeit it has provided modest survival outcome. Fucoidan, (marine brown algal derivative) has demonstrated potent anti-tumor effects including glioma. Nevertheless, there is paucity of studies conducted on Fucoidan to enhance the anti-glioma efficacy of Temozolomide. The present study aimed to explore the plausible synergistic anti-glioma efficacy of Fucoidan in combination with Temozolomide in an in vivo experimental model. The dual-drug combination significantly inhibited tumor growth in in vivo and prolonged the survival rate when compared with the other treatment and tumor-control groups, via down-regulation of inflammatory cascade- IL-6/T LR4 and JAK/STAT3 as per the immunohistochemistry findings. Furthermore, the ultrastructural analysis indicated that the combinatorial treatment had restored the normal neuronal architecture of glioma-induced rats. Overall, the dual-drug cocktail might enhance the therapeutic outcome in glioma patients.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemotherapy is an international multidisciplinary journal committed to the rapid publication of high quality, peer-reviewed, original research on all aspects of antimicrobial and antitumor chemotherapy.
The Journal publishes original experimental and clinical research articles, state-of-the-art reviews, brief communications and letters on all aspects of chemotherapy, providing coverage of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, as well as the use of anticancer and immunomodulating drugs.
Specific areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
· Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiprotozoal agents;
· Anticancer classical and targeted chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, hormonal drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, cell therapy and gene therapy;
· Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of antimicrobial and anticancer agents;
· The efficacy, safety and toxicology profiles of antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Drug interactions in single or combined applications;
· Drug resistance to antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Research and development of novel antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, including preclinical, translational and clinical research;
· Biomarkers of sensitivity and/or resistance for antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics;
· Precision medicine in infectious disease therapy and in cancer therapy;
· Pharmacoeconomics of antimicrobial and anticancer therapies and the implications to patients, health services, and the pharmaceutical industry.
