The authors report the results of separate determination of the concentration of free adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP) in tumors, intact animals liver, and tumor-bearing animals liver. In Zajdela ascites hepatoma, ascites tumor NKly and solid lymphosarcoma, solid hepatomas 46 and 22 A the amount of ATP and ADP was found to be markedly reduced compared with their content in the liver. The ratio ATP/ADP is increased in ascites cells of tumor NKly, Zaidela hepatoma and lymphosarcoma and is decreased in solid hepatoma 46 and 22 A. Cell energy potential, calculated on the basis of ATP ratio to a sum of adenine-nucleotides, is also increased in ascites cells of tumor NKly, Zaidela hepatoma and is diminished or remains unchanged in hepatoma 46 or 22A. Cell energy charge is increased in tumor NKly, Zajdela hepatoma, lymphosarcoma and is decreased in solid hepatoma 46 and 22A.

This study reports a dose-dependent pro-apoptotic action of synthetic cannabimimetic -stearoylethanolamine (NSE) on diverse cancer cell lines, including multidrug-resistant models. No antioxidant or cytoprotective effects of NSE were found when it was applied together with doxorubicin. A complex of NSE with the polymeric carrier poly(5-(tert-butylperoxy)-5-methyl-1-hexen-3-yn-co-glycidyl methacrylate)-graft-PEG was synthesized.

The folding and export of proteins and hydrolysis of unfolded proteins are disbalanced in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of cancer cells, leading to so-called ER stress. Agents further augmenting this effect are used as anticancer drugs including clinically approved proteasome inhibitors bortezomib and carfilzomib. However, these drugs can affect normal cells, which also rely strongly on ER functions, leading, for example, to accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Inoculation of murine lymphoma cells into the peritoneal cavity of immunized mice provides generation of ascitic fluid containing a significant amount of antibody with desired antigen specificity. Here we demonstrated that the intraperitoneal administration of murine lymphoma NK/Ly cells in mice immunized with 48 kDa isoform of human blood serum unconventional myosin 1c leads to generation of ascitic fluid that contained specific IgG-antibodies.

Cancer cells produce elevated levels of reactive oxygen species, which has been used to design cancer specific prodrugs. Their activation relies on at least a bimolecular process, in which a prodrug reacts with ROS. However, at low micromolar concentrations of the prodrugs and ROS, the activation is usually inefficient.

Unlabelled: The goal of the study was to estimate the effect of a selective V-type H -ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1 and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) on energetic processes in NK/Ly cell by directly measuring the respiration of isolated mitochondria and ATPase activities. NAADP (7 μM) increased the activity of Na /K -ATPase in the postmitochondrial fraction of NK/Ly cells, but lower concentration of NAADP decreased it (0.1 and 1 μM).
