Melphalan 231-240 colony stimulating factor 3 Homo sapiens 100-137 11417986-13 2001 This may be caused by increased thermal enhancement of melphalan due to the higher tissue temperatures (39--40 degrees C) at which the melphalan in the TNF alpha-ILPs was administered or by an interaction between high-dose TNF alpha and melphalan.

Melphalan 240-249 colony stimulating factor 3 Homo sapiens 44-49 11359799-1 2001 We have previously shown that exposure of P815 tumor cells to melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard; L-PAM) leads to up-regulation of B7-1 surface expression, and this L-PAM-induced up-regulation requires de novo RNA synthesis and is associated with accumulation of B7-1 mRNA. Melphalan 98-103 CD80 antigen Mus musculus 263-267 11359799-2 2001 Here we show that the effect of L-PAM on B7-1 surface expression can be mimicked by exposing P815 tumor cells to oxidative stress but not to heat shock.

Melphalan 129-138 CD80 antigen Mus musculus 207-219 10782862-1 2000 We have previously shown that B7-2 (CD86) and, to a lesser extent, B7-1 (CD80) contribute to the curative effectiveness of low-dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard) for mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor under conditions that lead to the acquisition of potent cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity at the tumor site.

Melphalan 79-85 tumor necrosis factor Mus musculus 49-58 10413303-7 1999 A combination of annexin V labeling and propidium iodide staining revealed that even the higher concentration of L-PAM (420 microM) did not induce apoptosis until 48 hr after treatment, but that induction of cell death was markedly accelerated as a result of GSH depletion: 48 hours after L-PAM (420 microM) treatment, GSH-depleted cells showed a 4-fold increase in DNA fragmentation and a 7-fold increase in the fraction of apoptotic (annexin V-positive) cells as compared to cells with normal GSH levels. Melphalan 113-118 annexin A5 Homo sapiens 17-26 10413303-7 1999 A combination of annexin V labeling and propidium iodide staining revealed that even the higher concentration of L-PAM (420 microM) did not induce apoptosis until 48 hr after treatment, but that induction of cell death was markedly accelerated as a result of GSH depletion: 48 hours after L-PAM (420 microM) treatment, GSH-depleted cells showed a 4-fold increase in DNA fragmentation and a 7-fold increase in the fraction of apoptotic (annexin V-positive) cells as compared to cells with normal GSH levels. Melphalan 113-118 annexin A5 Homo sapiens 436-445 10389992-7 1999 Synergy between TNF and melphalan was lost at a dose of TNF below 10 microg in 5 ml perfusate. Melphalan 24-33 tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus 56-59 10198218-3 1999 In contrast, over-expression of GRP78 under the conditions outlined above is found to be associated with hypersensitivity to several clinically-relevant DNA cross-linking agents, namely, 1,3-bis (2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU), cisplatin, and melphalan. Melphalan 248-257 heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 5 Homo sapiens 32-37 9973225-11 1999 In contrast, melphalan and paclitaxel augmented TRAIL-induced apoptosis in few cell lines, and methotrexate did not augment it in any cell line. Melphalan 13-22 TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens 48-53 10412944-3 1999 We studied the effect of BSO in rats bearing intrahepatically implanted tumors of the CC531 colorectal cancer cell line on the antitumor activity of melphalan (L-PAM). Melphalan 149-158 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Rattus norvegicus 162-165 10037044-4 1999 Lower CD34 values (P = 0.002) were seen in patients treated with potent stem cell toxins (BCNU, melphalan, CCNU and mustine), designated toxicity factor 4 agents (TF4). Melphalan 96-105 CD34 molecule Homo sapiens 6-10 10100597-5 1999 TNF was delivered as a 24-h intravenous infusion, 48 h prior to the combination of L-PAM and WBH; L-PAM was given over 10 min at target temperature at a dose of 17.5 mg/ m2 based on a previous phase I WBH/L-PAM trial. Melphalan 83-88 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 0-3 9923544-4 1999 RESULTS: D-283 Med (4-HCR) was cross-resistant to melphalan and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU), with O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) levels of 466+/-164 fmol/mg protein; AGT levels in the parental line, D-283 Med, were 76+/-96 fmol/mg. Melphalan 50-59 coiled-coil alpha-helical rod protein 1 Homo sapiens 22-25 9850053-5 1998 In addition, we show here that anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody enhanced antitumor cytotoxicity when the anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody was added to stimulation cultures of spleen cells from low-dose melphalan-treated MOPC-315 tumor-bearing mice but not from untreated tumor-bearing mice. Melphalan 200-209 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 Mus musculus 36-42 9892492-1 1998 Exposure of A2780 human ovarian tumor cells to a low concentration of melphalan in vitro for 7 d results in the development of melphalan resistance, which is dependent on elevated cellular levels of glutathione and glutathione S-transferase. Melphalan 70-79 glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens 215-240 9892492-1 1998 Exposure of A2780 human ovarian tumor cells to a low concentration of melphalan in vitro for 7 d results in the development of melphalan resistance, which is dependent on elevated cellular levels of glutathione and glutathione S-transferase. Melphalan 127-136 glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens 215-240 9892492-4 1998 It also prevented the increase in the expression of the glutathione S-transferase gene, suggesting that this may be the mechanism by which it prevents the development of melphalan resistance. Melphalan 170-179 glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens 56-81 9850053-5 1998 In addition, we show here that anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody enhanced antitumor cytotoxicity when the anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody was added to stimulation cultures of spleen cells from low-dose melphalan-treated MOPC-315 tumor-bearing mice but not from untreated tumor-bearing mice. Melphalan 200-209 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 Mus musculus 109-115 9850053-6 1998 These results suggest that the therapeutic benefits of CTLA-4 blockade depend on the ability of drugs such as melphalan to promote an immunogenic environment by altering the cytokine profile of tumor-specific T cells. Melphalan 110-119 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 Mus musculus 55-61 9840918-7 1998 Cisplatin and melphalan, the UV-mimetic agents known to elicit UV-type DNA damage, also induced apoptosis but differed from UV in that both of the former agents engaged the caspase cascade at a level distal to FADD. Melphalan 14-23 Fas associated via death domain Homo sapiens 210-214 9951688-1 1998 Resistance of myeloma cells to melphalan (L-PAM) is a serious problem. Melphalan 31-40 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 44-47 9751079-2 1998 Previous studies showed that L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate (OTZ), a 5-oxo-L-proline analog that is metabolized by 5-OPase, can preferentially decrease the cellular GSH levels in vivo in rat mammary tumors and sensitizes the tumors to the alkylating agent melphalan. Melphalan 259-268 5-oxoprolinase (ATP-hydrolysing) Rattus norvegicus 118-125 9809994-15 1998 The scattered tumor cell necrosis in the latter type may be explained by a TNF-alpha-induced increase in permeability of the tumor vascular bed, which results in higher intratumoral concentrations of melphalan or in a prolongation of its effect. Melphalan 200-209 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 75-84 9827813-6 1998 Previous treatment with melphalan or carmustine was associated with a significantly lower yield of CD34-positive cells (P= 0.0001). Melphalan 24-33 CD34 molecule Homo sapiens 99-103 9751079-7 1998 We also observed that the expression of 5-OPase in the stably transfected MCF7 cells decreased the cellular GSH contents, sensitized the cells to melphalan toxicity, and diminished the sensitizing effect of OTZ. Melphalan 146-155 5-oxoprolinase, ATP-hydrolysing Homo sapiens 40-47 9751079-5 1998 When the cells were treated with OTZ plus melphalan, the cytotoxicity of melphalan was increased as compared with that of melphalan alone, and this effect could be reversed by the addition of glutamate, which is the product of 5-OPase reaction and a critical substrate in GSH synthesis. Melphalan 42-51 5-oxoprolinase, ATP-hydrolysing Homo sapiens 227-234 9751079-5 1998 When the cells were treated with OTZ plus melphalan, the cytotoxicity of melphalan was increased as compared with that of melphalan alone, and this effect could be reversed by the addition of glutamate, which is the product of 5-OPase reaction and a critical substrate in GSH synthesis. Melphalan 73-82 5-oxoprolinase, ATP-hydrolysing Homo sapiens 227-234 9751079-5 1998 When the cells were treated with OTZ plus melphalan, the cytotoxicity of melphalan was increased as compared with that of melphalan alone, and this effect could be reversed by the addition of glutamate, which is the product of 5-OPase reaction and a critical substrate in GSH synthesis. Melphalan 73-82 5-oxoprolinase, ATP-hydrolysing Homo sapiens 227-234 9704736-1 1998 PURPOSE: In a randomized trial conducted by the National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group (NCIC CTG), interferon alpha-2b (IFN) maintenance therapy (2 mU/m2 subcutaneously three times per week) after successful induction with melphalan and prednisone was found to prolong time to progression in patients with multiple myeloma. Melphalan 242-251 interferon alpha 2 Homo sapiens 118-137 9692813-10 1998 Pretreatment with six or more cycles of melphalan yielded a smaller number of CD34+ cells than pretreatment with fewer than six cycles (2.5 vs 5.3 x 10(6)/kg; p = 0.001). Melphalan 40-49 CD34 molecule Homo sapiens 78-82 9733636-12 1998 CONCLUSION: TBI and the associated reduction in WBC count decreased the tumor response by TNFalpha and melphalan significantly and abrogated the immediate response of skin necrosis at the tumor site, as found in rats treated with TNFalpha and melphalan without TBI. Melphalan 103-112 tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus 230-238 9679558-4 1998 Phase I clinical trials of BSO + melphalan (L-PAM)have been carried out and observed little toxicity with BSO alone and increased myelosuppression with BSO + L-PAM. Melphalan 33-42 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 46-49 9679558-4 1998 Phase I clinical trials of BSO + melphalan (L-PAM)have been carried out and observed little toxicity with BSO alone and increased myelosuppression with BSO + L-PAM. Melphalan 33-42 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 160-163 9602861-7 1998 In line with a genotoxic mechanism and absence of additional cytotoxic effects, the DNA fragments generated by gamma-irradiation as well as by etoposide and melphalan displayed a distribution between 1 and 4 Mbp with a peak around 2 Mbp. Melphalan 157-166 myelin basic protein Homo sapiens 208-211 18020561-5 1998 Our results, using the combination of high dose rTNFalpha, interferon-gamma and melphalan (TIM), produced an overall objective response rate of 100% in 2 successive studies on melanoma, with 90% and 78% complete response, respectively. Melphalan 80-89 Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 5 Homo sapiens 91-94 9621525-2 1998 Several studies have shown that when TNF is used with melphalan in closed circuit perfusion treatment for multiple melanoma metastases confined to a limb, a response rate of 80% can be achieved compared to a best response rate of 40% with melphalan alone. Melphalan 54-63 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 37-40 9621525-2 1998 Several studies have shown that when TNF is used with melphalan in closed circuit perfusion treatment for multiple melanoma metastases confined to a limb, a response rate of 80% can be achieved compared to a best response rate of 40% with melphalan alone. Melphalan 239-248 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 37-40 9548610-6 1998 Because alkylating agents generally have steep dose-response curves, mitomycin C (MMC) and melphalan (L-PAM) entered phase I/II studies on IHP. Melphalan 91-100 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 104-107 9602861-7 1998 In line with a genotoxic mechanism and absence of additional cytotoxic effects, the DNA fragments generated by gamma-irradiation as well as by etoposide and melphalan displayed a distribution between 1 and 4 Mbp with a peak around 2 Mbp. Melphalan 157-166 myelin basic protein Homo sapiens 233-236 9443402-6 1998 BCL-X expression in malignant plasma cells strongly correlated with decreased response rates in patient groups treated with either melphalan and prednisone or vincristine, Adriamycin, and dexamethasone. Melphalan 131-140 BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens 0-5 9446640-9 1998 Measurement of HGF may identify a group of patients with poor response to melphalan-prednisone treatment and short survival. Melphalan 74-83 hepatocyte growth factor Homo sapiens 15-18 9469448-0 1998 Importance of the B7-2 molecule for low dose melphalan-induced acquisition of tumor-eradicating immunity by mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor. Melphalan 45-54 CD86 antigen Mus musculus 18-22 9469448-1 1998 We have previously shown that low dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard; L-PAM) therapy of hitherto immunosuppressed mice bearing a large (20-mm) s.c. MOPC-315 tumor leads to the acquisition of potent CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity which in turn eradicates the large tumor burden not eradicated by the direct antitumor effects of the drug. Melphalan 39-48 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Mus musculus 77-80 9344321-6 1997 In 55 patients treated with the combination of high-dose rTNF alpha + interferon-gamma + melphalan an overall objective response rate of 87% with 36% complete responses was observed; it was 81% and 28%, respectively, in a group treated with TNF alpha and melphalan (n = 85). Melphalan 255-264 interferon gamma Homo sapiens 70-86 9460989-2 1998 The present study details for the first time MRP1-mediated ATP-dependent transport of various glutathione S-conjugates of the bifunctional alkylating agents chlorambucil and melphalan. Melphalan 174-183 ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 1 Homo sapiens 45-49 9488598-5 1998 RESULTS: The present investigations provide data indicating that Pro-Gln-Gly-Ile-Mel-Gly (melphalan hexapeptide, MHP) is a substrate for both bacterial and 72-kDa type IV collagenases and that in this way it can generate Ile-Mel-Gly (melphalan tripeptide, MTP) of higher cytotoxic potency. Melphalan 90-99 metallothionein 1B Homo sapiens 256-259 9488598-7 1998 In a comparison of equimolar concentrations of melphalan and its two peptide derivatives (MHP and MTP), superior antiproliferative action of MTP was seen in HT-29, HT-1080, and HT-168 tumor cell cultures. Melphalan 47-56 metallothionein 1B Homo sapiens 98-101 9488598-7 1998 In a comparison of equimolar concentrations of melphalan and its two peptide derivatives (MHP and MTP), superior antiproliferative action of MTP was seen in HT-29, HT-1080, and HT-168 tumor cell cultures. Melphalan 47-56 metallothionein 1B Homo sapiens 141-144 9384474-2 1997 The efficacy of an intensified regimen, TAM (TBI, high-dose cytosine arabinoside and melphalan), is evaluated by analyzing long-term follow-up of a homogenous group of 42 high-risk ALL patients allografted in first CR. Melphalan 85-94 Myeloproliferative syndrome, transient (transient abnormal myelopoiesis) Homo sapiens 40-43 9670271-2 1998 In this overview we present our experimental and clinical results with mitomycin C (MMC) and melphalan (L-Pam). Melphalan 93-102 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 106-109 9371511-5 1997 Subsequently, these GRP78-overexpressing cells were trypsinized, plated in regular medium without GRP78-inducing agents, and allowed a 5-h attachment time before being treated with melphalan, BCNU, or cisplatin for 1 h to determine clonogenic survivals. Melphalan 181-190 endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP Cricetulus griseus 20-25 9516845-0 1997 Buthionine sulphoximine alone and in combination with melphalan (L-PAM) is highly cytotoxic for human neuroblastoma cell lines. Melphalan 54-63 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 67-70 9516845-1 1997 Buthionine sulphoximine (BSO) selectively inhibits glutathione (GSH) synthesis and may enhance the antineuroblastoma activity of melphalan (L-PAM). Melphalan 129-138 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 142-145 9313875-11 1997 The 112 patients receiving the melphalan autografts fared significantly better than the rest of the patients with OS and PFS (from high-dose treatment) of 6.6 years and 27 months, respectively (P < 0.005), and the 57 patients also receiving IFN have a OS yet to reach a median at 8 years and a PFS of 44 months, significantly better than non IFN high-dose patients (P < 0.0036). Melphalan 31-40 interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens 244-247 9313875-11 1997 The 112 patients receiving the melphalan autografts fared significantly better than the rest of the patients with OS and PFS (from high-dose treatment) of 6.6 years and 27 months, respectively (P < 0.005), and the 57 patients also receiving IFN have a OS yet to reach a median at 8 years and a PFS of 44 months, significantly better than non IFN high-dose patients (P < 0.0036). Melphalan 31-40 interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens 345-348 9266941-4 1997 IL4 sensitized alkylator-resistant B-CLL cells to the cytotoxic effects of melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard) but had no influence on melphalan-induced cytotoxicity against normal B lymphocytes. Melphalan 75-84 interleukin 4 Homo sapiens 0-3 9339752-7 1997 Multivariate analysis revealed that cyclophosphamide and G-CSF priming before collection of hematopoietic precursors (P < 0.001) was a positive predictor of rapid engraftment and prior exposure to melphalan given orally (P = 0.02) was a negative predictor of subsequent platelet engraftment. Melphalan 200-209 colony stimulating factor 3 Homo sapiens 57-62 9329556-1 1997 Dramatic clinical results have been obtained in malignant melanoma and sarcoma using hyperthermic limb perfusion in combination with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and melphalan (L-PAM). Melphalan 165-174 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 178-181 21528210-5 1997 Lisofylline alone or along with G-CSF was effective in protecting animals from the weight loss caused by high dose melphalan but not from weight loss caused by other cytotoxic therapies. Melphalan 115-124 peripheral blood stem cell response to granulocyte colony stimulating factor 1 Mus musculus 32-37 9225006-5 1997 Finally, TNF and GM-CSF may cooperate in enhancing the in vivo generation of CTL activity in MOPC-315 tumor bearers because low-dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard) therapy, which was previously shown to lead to the rapid up-regulation of TNF production at the tumor site and the subsequent TNF-dependent in vivo acquisition of potent CTL activity, is shown here to lead to the rapid up-regulation of GM-CSF production at the tumor site. Melphalan 133-142 tumor necrosis factor Mus musculus 9-12 9225006-5 1997 Finally, TNF and GM-CSF may cooperate in enhancing the in vivo generation of CTL activity in MOPC-315 tumor bearers because low-dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard) therapy, which was previously shown to lead to the rapid up-regulation of TNF production at the tumor site and the subsequent TNF-dependent in vivo acquisition of potent CTL activity, is shown here to lead to the rapid up-regulation of GM-CSF production at the tumor site. Melphalan 133-142 colony stimulating factor 2 (granulocyte-macrophage) Mus musculus 17-23 9074631-3 1997 Preincubation of HL-60 cells with the hydrogen peroxide-scavenging enzyme catalase (500 U/ml) inhibited apoptosis due to UV irradiation or low concentrations of camptothecin, etoposide or melphalan, but did not protect against higher concentrations. Melphalan 188-197 catalase Homo sapiens 74-82 9092631-1 1997 Previous work showed that melphalan-induced mutations in the aprt gene of CHO cells are primarily transversions and occur preferentially at G-G-C sequences, which are potential sites for various bifunctional alkylations involving guanine N-7. Melphalan 26-35 adenine phosphoribosyltransferase Cricetulus griseus 61-65 9092631-2 1997 To identify the DNA lesion(s) which may be responsible for these mutations, an end-labeled DNA duplex containing a frequent site of melphalan-induced mutation in the aprt gene was treated with melphalan, mechlorethamine or phosphoramide mustard. Melphalan 132-141 adenine phosphoribosyltransferase Cricetulus griseus 166-170 9092631-2 1997 To identify the DNA lesion(s) which may be responsible for these mutations, an end-labeled DNA duplex containing a frequent site of melphalan-induced mutation in the aprt gene was treated with melphalan, mechlorethamine or phosphoramide mustard. Melphalan 193-202 adenine phosphoribosyltransferase Cricetulus griseus 166-170 9171882-3 1997 A PBR ligand-melphalan conjugate (PBR-MEL) was synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity and affinity for PBRs. Melphalan 13-22 translocator protein Rattus norvegicus 2-5 9171882-3 1997 A PBR ligand-melphalan conjugate (PBR-MEL) was synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity and affinity for PBRs. Melphalan 13-22 translocator protein Rattus norvegicus 34-37 9135501-3 1997 The present study investigated the in vivo antitumour activity of a combination of tallimustine and melphalan (L-PAM). Melphalan 100-109 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Mus musculus 113-116 9053491-0 1997 Prospective randomized placebo-controlled study of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor without stem-cell transplantation after high-dose melphalan in patients with multiple myeloma. Melphalan 150-159 colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens 51-99 9778589-15 1997 This fact makes melphalan an adequate choice for TNF perfusion in advanced limb malignancies. Melphalan 16-25 tumor necrosis factor-like Rattus norvegicus 49-52 9166943-0 1997 Liver and tumour tissue concentrations of TNF-alpha in cancer patients treated with TNF-alpha and melphalan by isolated liver perfusion. Melphalan 98-107 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 42-51 9166943-1 1997 In this study we determined the level of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in liver and tumour tissue samples obtained from patients with colorectal metastases confined to the liver, who were treated with isolated liver perfusion with TNF-alpha and melphalan. Melphalan 256-265 tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens 71-80 8996517-5 1997 This antiserum was used in vivo to inactivate LOX after it had depleted the large neutral amino acids, thereby preventing LOX-mediated catabolism of melphalan. Melphalan 149-158 interleukin 4 induced 1B Mus musculus 46-49 8996517-5 1997 This antiserum was used in vivo to inactivate LOX after it had depleted the large neutral amino acids, thereby preventing LOX-mediated catabolism of melphalan. Melphalan 149-158 interleukin 4 induced 1B Mus musculus 122-125 8996517-7 1997 In three separate studies using groups of eight to ten mice bearing intracranial human glioma xenografts, pretreatment with LOX followed by anti-LOX serum increased the antitumor activity of melphalan as compared with treatments with melphalan plus LOX, melphalan plus anti-LOX serum, or melphalan alone. Melphalan 191-200 lysyl oxidase Homo sapiens 124-127 8996517-7 1997 In three separate studies using groups of eight to ten mice bearing intracranial human glioma xenografts, pretreatment with LOX followed by anti-LOX serum increased the antitumor activity of melphalan as compared with treatments with melphalan plus LOX, melphalan plus anti-LOX serum, or melphalan alone. Melphalan 191-200 lysyl oxidase Homo sapiens 145-148 8996517-7 1997 In three separate studies using groups of eight to ten mice bearing intracranial human glioma xenografts, pretreatment with LOX followed by anti-LOX serum increased the antitumor activity of melphalan as compared with treatments with melphalan plus LOX, melphalan plus anti-LOX serum, or melphalan alone. Melphalan 191-200 lysyl oxidase Homo sapiens 145-148 8996517-7 1997 In three separate studies using groups of eight to ten mice bearing intracranial human glioma xenografts, pretreatment with LOX followed by anti-LOX serum increased the antitumor activity of melphalan as compared with treatments with melphalan plus LOX, melphalan plus anti-LOX serum, or melphalan alone. Melphalan 191-200 lysyl oxidase Homo sapiens 145-148 8980389-15 1996 In conclusion, our findings suggest that the enhanced anti-tumour effect after the combination of TNF-alpha with melphalan results from potentiation of the TNF-alpha-induced vascular changes accompanied by increased vascular permeability and platelet aggregation. Melphalan 113-122 tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus 156-165 8980391-0 1996 Effect of melphalan and hyperthermia on p34cdc2 kinase activity in human melanoma cells.

Melphalan 93-102 cyclin dependent kinase 1 Homo sapiens 113-120 8980391-5 1996 A similar inhibitory effect on p34cdc2 kinase was obtained when the lowest melphalan concentration (2.5 micrograms ml-1) was used under hyperthermic conditions. Melphalan 75-84 cyclin dependent kinase 1 Homo sapiens 31-38 8706243-3 1996 Sublines that were resistant to melphalan, pyrazafurin, mitoxantrone, etoposide and PALA all retained expression of wild-type p53.

Melphalan 93-102 interferon gamma Mus musculus 41-50 8635194-8 1995 Taken together, our studies illustrate that low-dose melphalan therapy of MOPC-315 tumor bearers is associated with the rapid elevation in the expression of mRNA for IFN gamma and TNF, two cytokines which are important for the curative effectiveness of low-dose melphalan, and which mediate their antitumor effect, in part, through distinct mechanisms. Melphalan 53-62 interferon gamma Mus musculus 166-175 8635194-8 1995 Taken together, our studies illustrate that low-dose melphalan therapy of MOPC-315 tumor bearers is associated with the rapid elevation in the expression of mRNA for IFN gamma and TNF, two cytokines which are important for the curative effectiveness of low-dose melphalan, and which mediate their antitumor effect, in part, through distinct mechanisms. Melphalan 53-62 tumor necrosis factor Mus musculus 180-183 8635194-8 1995 Taken together, our studies illustrate that low-dose melphalan therapy of MOPC-315 tumor bearers is associated with the rapid elevation in the expression of mRNA for IFN gamma and TNF, two cytokines which are important for the curative effectiveness of low-dose melphalan, and which mediate their antitumor effect, in part, through distinct mechanisms.

Melphalan 143-152 colony stimulating factor 3 Homo sapiens 0-5 7880833-1 1995 Rabbit liver metallothionein-2 is shown to form covalent bonds with the anticancer agent melphalan, in support of the hypothesis that covalent sequestration by metallothionein constitutes one mechanism for the cross-resistance acquired by cancer patients to therapeutic alkylating agents. Melphalan 89-98 metallothionein 2A Homo sapiens 13-30 7882302-6 1995 Conversely, non-cytotoxic doses of L-PAM had super-additive interactions with TNF followed by hyperthermia. Melphalan 35-40 tumor necrosis factor Mus musculus 78-81 7634379-5 1995 Conditions were found under which LOX-mediated degradation of melphalan was minimized and LNAA depletion was maximized, resulting in a potentiation of the antitumor effect of melphalan on human glioma xenografts in nude mice. Melphalan 62-71 lysyl oxidase Homo sapiens 34-37 7530507-4 1995 We have analyzed the prognostic significance of serum immunoreactive IL-6, as measured by a sensitive immunosorbent assay, in 210 patients with newly diagnosed MM subsequently treated with intermittent melphalan and prednisone. Melphalan 202-211 interleukin 6 Homo sapiens 69-73 7634379-5 1995 Conditions were found under which LOX-mediated degradation of melphalan was minimized and LNAA depletion was maximized, resulting in a potentiation of the antitumor effect of melphalan on human glioma xenografts in nude mice. Melphalan 175-184 lysyl oxidase Homo sapiens 34-37 8089490-1 1994 We have previously shown that depletion of TCR-V beta 8+ T cells by treatment with mAb reduces the curative effectiveness of low dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard; L-PAM) for mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor and extensive metastases. Melphalan 134-143 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Mus musculus 172-175 7954458-7 1994 These TGF-beta-resistant cells also exhibited progressively increasing levels of expression of the c-fos and and myc mRNA, and increased resistance to the cytotoxicity of Adriamycin and melphalan. Melphalan 186-195 transforming growth factor, beta 1 Rattus norvegicus 6-14 7923130-1 1994 Cells with a temperature-sensitive mutant of the v-abl oncoprotein (IC.DP) were treated with the anticancer drugs melphalan or hydroxyurea. Melphalan 114-123 ABL proto-oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase Homo sapiens 49-54 7812943-6 1994 When MCF-7 cells or human SW2 small cell lung cancer cells were exposed to a concentration of melphalan or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) that killed 1-2 logs of cells followed by exposure to a concentration range of the same drug for 24 h or 7 days later resistance to the second drug exposure was evident in both cell lines. Melphalan 94-103 WD repeat domain 82 pseudogene 1 Homo sapiens 26-29 7969079-3 1994 Using melphalan-resistant DU 145/M4.5 human prostate carcinoma cells, which express elevated GSH levels, GCS enzyme activity, and GCS mRNA levels, we sought to determine the mechanism(s) responsible for the increased GCS mRNA expression.

Melphalan 6-15 glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit Homo sapiens 130-133 7969079-3 1994 Using melphalan-resistant DU 145/M4.5 human prostate carcinoma cells, which express elevated GSH levels, GCS enzyme activity, and GCS mRNA levels, we sought to determine the mechanism(s) responsible for the increased GCS mRNA expression. Melphalan 6-15 glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit Homo sapiens 130-133 8044831-5 1994 In addition, by day 2 after low-dose L-PAM therapy a drastic decrease in the amount of IL-10 secreted by the s.c. tumor nodules was noted, which preceded the accumulation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes capable of secreting IFN gamma. Melphalan 37-42 interleukin 10 Mus musculus 87-92 8044831-0 1994 Low-dose melphalan-induced shift in the production of a Th2-type cytokine to a Th1-type cytokine in mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor. Melphalan 9-18 heart and neural crest derivatives expressed 2 Mus musculus 56-59 8083225-6 1994 The resistance conferred by ALDH to mafosfamide is OAP-specific since the 3A1-31A line is also resistant to 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (2.9-fold) and 4-hydroperoxyifosfamide (3.2-fold) but not to the non-oxazaphosphorine drugs phosphoramide mustard and melphalan, which cannot be detoxified by aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes. Melphalan 256-265 aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family, member A1 Rattus norvegicus 28-32 8044831-5 1994 In addition, by day 2 after low-dose L-PAM therapy a drastic decrease in the amount of IL-10 secreted by the s.c. tumor nodules was noted, which preceded the accumulation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes capable of secreting IFN gamma. Melphalan 37-42 interferon gamma Mus musculus 226-235 8044831-0 1994 Low-dose melphalan-induced shift in the production of a Th2-type cytokine to a Th1-type cytokine in mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor. Melphalan 9-18 negative elongation factor complex member C/D, Th1l Mus musculus 79-82 8044831-6 1994 Thus, low-dose L-PAM therapy of mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor leads to a shift in cytokine production from a Th2-type cytokine to a Th1-type cytokine, and it is conceivable that this shift in cytokine production plays an important role in the low-dose L-PAM-induced acquisition of antitumor immunity by hitherto immunosuppressed mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor. Melphalan 15-20 heart and neural crest derivatives expressed 2 Mus musculus 115-118 8044831-3 1994 In contrast, addition of monoclonal anti-IL-10 antibody to the in vitro stimulation cultures of splenic cells from mice that are in the final stages of immune-mediated tumor eradication as a consequence of low-dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard; L-PAM) therapy (and whose spleens no longer contain metastatic tumor cells) did not lead to enhancement in the in vitro generation of antitumor cytotoxicity. Melphalan 215-224 interleukin 10 Mus musculus 41-46 8044831-4 1994 The cessation of IL-10 secretion as a consequence of low-dose L-PAM therapy of MOPC-315 tumor bearers was found to be accompanied by the acquisition of the ability to secrete interferon gamma (IFN gamma) by the splenic cells. Melphalan 62-67 interleukin 10 Mus musculus 17-22 8044831-6 1994 Thus, low-dose L-PAM therapy of mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor leads to a shift in cytokine production from a Th2-type cytokine to a Th1-type cytokine, and it is conceivable that this shift in cytokine production plays an important role in the low-dose L-PAM-induced acquisition of antitumor immunity by hitherto immunosuppressed mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor. Melphalan 15-20 negative elongation factor complex member C/D, Th1l Mus musculus 138-141 8044831-4 1994 The cessation of IL-10 secretion as a consequence of low-dose L-PAM therapy of MOPC-315 tumor bearers was found to be accompanied by the acquisition of the ability to secrete interferon gamma (IFN gamma) by the splenic cells. Melphalan 62-67 interferon gamma Mus musculus 193-202 8144932-1 1994 We have recently demonstrated the importance of V beta 8+/CD8+ cells for the curative effectiveness of a suboptimal low dose (0.75 mg/kg) of melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard; L-PAM) for mice bearing a large s.c. MOPC-315 tumor and extensive metastases. Melphalan 141-150 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Mus musculus 179-182 8168116-4 1994 Moreover, even spleen cells from MOPC-315 tumor-bearing mice, which had received L-PAM therapy 7 days earlier and had acquired CTL activity in vivo, were sensitive to the inhibitory activity of TGF-beta upon culture for as little as 1 day, with or without stimulator tumor cells. Melphalan 81-86 transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus 194-202 8168116-6 1994 Thus, the curative effectiveness of low-dose L-PAM therapy for MOPC-315 tumor-bearing mice may be due, at least in part, to a reduction in TGF-beta production that enables the development of tumor-eradicating immunity. Melphalan 45-50 transforming growth factor, beta 1 Mus musculus 139-147 7910660-12 1994 LYC5 cells were slightly more sensitive to Melphalan and doxorubicin (2.8- and 2.3-fold, respectively) but not to cisplatin or dideazatetrahydrofolic acid. Melphalan 43-52 sperm acrosome associated 5 Homo sapiens 0-4 8004757-4 1994 The addition of each of the modulator combinations for 1 h or 24 h to treatment with melphalan (L-PAM) or carmustine (BCNU) resulted in greater-than-additive cytotoxicity with each of four regimens. Melphalan 85-94 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 98-101 8011697-7 1994 Renewed interest has developed in hyperthermic limb perfusion for the treatment of transit and locally advanced recurrent disease because of the availability of melphalan and the recent reports of higher response rates with the addition of tumor necrosis factor and interferon gamma to melphalan. Melphalan 286-295 interferon gamma Homo sapiens 266-282 8038591-11 1994 We conclude that high-dose rTNF-alpha associated with melphalan in isolation perfusion is the therapy of choice for in-transit melanoma metastases. Melphalan 54-63 tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus 27-37 7513621-1 1994 Levels of intracellular glutathione (GSH) and the GSH-related enzymes gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (gamma-GT) were measured in the melphalan-resistant human multiple myeloma cell line 8226/LR-5 and were compared to those measured in the drug-sensitive 8226/S and doxorubicin-resistant 8226/Dox40 cell lines.

Melphalan 65-74 proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens 34-43 7923563-8 1994 Administration of CAI on days 4-18 did not alter the growth of the Lewis lung carcinoma but did result in an increase in the tumor-growth delay produced by treatment with CDDP, cyclophosphamide, melphalan, BCNU, and fractionated radiation.

Melphalan 143-152 interleukin 2 Mus musculus 34-47 8298434-8 1993 After melphalan treatment down regulation of c-myc and of the H2A histone was seen at high doses, while no significant alteration of their expression was seen with the other drugs. Melphalan 6-15 MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor Homo sapiens 45-50 8409442-1 1993 We have previously shown that the curative efficacy of low dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard; L-PAM) for mice bearing a large s.c. MOPC-315 tumor requires the participation of CD8+ (but not CD4+) T cell-dependent antitumor immunity. Melphalan 64-73 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Mus musculus 102-105 8402679-7 1993 The clones expressing recombinant GST Yc were more resistant to melphalan (6- to 12-fold), mechlorethamine (10- to 16-fold), and chlorambucil (7- to 30-fold). Melphalan 64-73 hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase Rattus norvegicus 34-37 8324733-1 1993 Previous studies of ERCC-1 gene expression levels in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and ovarian carcinoma tumor specimens indicated that increased gene expression may correlate with a lack of response to the alkylating agents, melphalan, and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II). Melphalan 225-234 DNA excision repair protein ERCC-1 Cricetulus griseus 20-26 7513621-2 1994 Both GSH and gamma-GCS activity, the rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of GSH, were elevated by a factor of approximately 2 in the melphalan-resistant 8226/LR-5 cells relative to the other two lines.

Melphalan 52-61 chromobox 8 Homo sapiens 65-69 8422666-2 1993 Here we characterize the rIL-2 requirements for the generation of enhanced antitumor cytotoxicity by L-PAM TuB thymocytes relative to normal thymocytes upon in vitro stimulation with MOPC-315 tumor cells. Melphalan 101-106 interleukin 2 Rattus norvegicus 25-30 8422666-2 1993 Here we characterize the rIL-2 requirements for the generation of enhanced antitumor cytotoxicity by L-PAM TuB thymocytes relative to normal thymocytes upon in vitro stimulation with MOPC-315 tumor cells. Melphalan 101-106 tubby bipartite transcription factor Mus musculus 107-110 8422666-4 1993 However, even when rIL-2 was added on day 2 after culture initiation, thymocytes from L-PAM TuB mice generated a more potent antitumor cytotoxicity than did thymocytes from normal mice. Melphalan 86-91 interleukin 2 Rattus norvegicus 19-24 8422666-4 1993 However, even when rIL-2 was added on day 2 after culture initiation, thymocytes from L-PAM TuB mice generated a more potent antitumor cytotoxicity than did thymocytes from normal mice. Melphalan 86-91 tubby bipartite transcription factor Mus musculus 92-95 8422666-5 1993 In addition, when rIL-2 was added at the time of culture initiation, replacement of the conditioned medium with fresh medium lacking rIL-2 on day 3 of the 5-day in vitro stimulation culture period eliminated the ability of normal thymocytes, and reduced (but did not eliminate) the ability of L-PAM TuB thymocytes, to generate a significant level of antitumor cytotoxicity. Melphalan 293-298 interleukin 2 Rattus norvegicus 18-23 8422666-6 1993 A low concentration of fresh rIL-2 was sufficient to restore completely the generation of antitumor cytotoxicity by normal or L-PAM TuB thymocytes when added to the stimulation cultures immediately after the removal of the rIL-2-containing conditioned medium. Melphalan 126-131 interleukin 2 Rattus norvegicus 29-34 8422666-7 1993 The same low concentration of rIL-2 was also sufficient for restoring the generation of antitumor cytotoxicity by cultures of L-PAM TuB thymocytes, but not normal thymocytes, from which the rIL-2-containing medium was removed 1 day earlier. Melphalan 126-131 interleukin 2 Rattus norvegicus 30-35 8422666-7 1993 The same low concentration of rIL-2 was also sufficient for restoring the generation of antitumor cytotoxicity by cultures of L-PAM TuB thymocytes, but not normal thymocytes, from which the rIL-2-containing medium was removed 1 day earlier. Melphalan 126-131 tubby bipartite transcription factor Mus musculus 132-135 8422666-8 1993 At the same time, conditioned medium from stimulation cultures of L-PAM TuB thymocytes was not superior to conditioned medium from stimulation cultures of normal thymocytes in supporting the generation of antitumor cytotoxicity by either normal or L-PAM TuB thymocytes. Melphalan 66-71 tubby bipartite transcription factor Mus musculus 72-75 1372807-1 1992 The alkylating agent melphalan is actively transported in mammalian cells by two amino acid transport carriers: the sodium-dependent carrier with substrate preference for alanine-serine-cysteine (system ASC), and a sodium-independent carrier with preference for leucine (system L). Melphalan 21-30 PYD and CARD domain containing Homo sapiens 203-206 1733553-10 1992 The most marked reduction in [3H]-thymidine incorporation into SCC-25 cells occurred following treatment with the combination of beta-carotene and melphalan. Melphalan 147-156 serpin family B member 3 Homo sapiens 63-66 1545395-6 1992 We conclude that although liver cytosol contains enzymes that significantly enhance the rate of glutathione conjugation with melphalan, in the case of the tumor cells studied, cellular glutathione S-transferase-catalyzed activity appears to be, at best, a very minor determinant of the overall rate of melphalan-glutathione conjugate formation. Melphalan 302-311 glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 Homo sapiens 185-210 1561804-6 1992 rIFN-gamma was given subcutaneously on days -2 and -1 and in the perfusate, with rTNF alpha, at the dose of 0.2 mg.

Melphalan 116-125 interferon gamma Rattus norvegicus 0-10 1564957-5 1992 Moreover, melphalan was equally effective in inhibiting CFU-L growth in both PE1 and PE2 assays, with D10 values of 1.53 +/- 0.17 micrograms/ml and 1.59 +/- 0.21 micrograms/ml for PE1 and PE2, respectively (p = 0.48). Melphalan 10-19 ETS variant transcription factor 3 Homo sapiens 77-80 1564957-5 1992 Moreover, melphalan was equally effective in inhibiting CFU-L growth in both PE1 and PE2 assays, with D10 values of 1.53 +/- 0.17 micrograms/ml and 1.59 +/- 0.21 micrograms/ml for PE1 and PE2, respectively (p = 0.48). Melphalan 10-19 ETS2 repressor factor Homo sapiens 85-88 1764367-3 1991 The compound maintains activity on melphalan (L-PAM)-resistant cells, whereas cross-resistance is observed on doxorubicin-(DX)-resistant cells. Melphalan 35-44 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Mus musculus 48-51 1730428-3 1992 Therefore, a phase I study of intravenous melphalan utilizing GM-CSF (recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) support was initiated. Melphalan 42-51 colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens 82-130 1730428-8 1992 Utilizing 20 micrograms/kg/day GM-CSF, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of melphalan is 30 mg/m2 and, with 10 mg/kg/day GM-CSF, the maximum tolerated melphalan dose is only 20 mg/m2. Melphalan 75-84 colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens 31-37 1730428-2 1992 It was postulated that GM-CSF would permit the use of higher dose melphalan with only moderate myelosuppression easily manageable in an outpatient setting. Melphalan 66-75 colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens 23-29 1730428-3 1992 Therefore, a phase I study of intravenous melphalan utilizing GM-CSF (recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) support was initiated. Melphalan 42-51 colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens 62-68 1681052-2 1991 The cytotoxic drug combination of methotrexate and melphalan, or nifedipine alone (0.2-25 micrograms mL-1), caused a concentration-related reduction of NC cell growth in culture.

Melphalan 195-200 hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase Mus musculus 30-33 1668532-0 1991 Human melanoma targeting with alpha-MSH-melphalan conjugate. Melphalan 40-49 proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens 30-39 1668532-6 1991 alpha-MSH receptor recognition properties also remained unchanged with a better apparent affinity of the conjugate probably due to the alkylating activity of melphalan itself. Melphalan 158-167 proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens 0-9 1668532-7 1991 Using human melanoma dendritic cells expressing more than 10,000 alpha-MSH binding sites per cell as an in vitro model, we were able to demonstrate higher cytotoxicities as compared to melphalan-treated cells. Melphalan 185-194 proopiomelanocortin Homo sapiens 65-74 2015603-5 1991 Only isozymes of the alpha GST class catalyze the conjugation of L-PAM with glutathione. Melphalan 65-70 hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase Mus musculus 27-30 1901031-7 1991 The apparent specificity of the lytic activity exerted by the PMA-stimulated L-PAM TuB spleen cells was illustrated not only by the inability of the spleen cells to lyse an allogeneic, antigenically unrelated thymoma (EL4), but also by their relatively weak lytic activity for two antigenically related syngeneic plasmacytomas. Melphalan 77-82 epilepsy 4 Mus musculus 218-221 1760820-3 1991 In addition, the ability of melphalan TuB thymocytes to generate an enhanced level of anti-MOPC-315 cytotoxicity correlated with their ability to proliferate more readily than thymocytes from untreated tumor-bearing mice and thymocytes from untreated or melphalan-treated normal mice in response to stimulation with MOPC-315 tumor cells plus a low concentration of rIL-2. Melphalan 28-37 tubby bipartite transcription factor Mus musculus 38-41 1760820-3 1991 In addition, the ability of melphalan TuB thymocytes to generate an enhanced level of anti-MOPC-315 cytotoxicity correlated with their ability to proliferate more readily than thymocytes from untreated tumor-bearing mice and thymocytes from untreated or melphalan-treated normal mice in response to stimulation with MOPC-315 tumor cells plus a low concentration of rIL-2. Melphalan 28-37 interleukin 2 Rattus norvegicus 365-370 1901031-8 1991 In addition, when EL4 target cells were admixed with MOPC-315 tumor cells, the lytic activity triggered in the L-PAM TuB spleen cells by the MOPC-315 tumor cells plus PMA was not effective in lysing the antigenically unrelated target cells. Melphalan 111-116 epilepsy 4 Mus musculus 18-21 2123740-4 1990 Treatment of MOPC-315 tumor bearers with low-dose L-PAM in conjunction with monoclonal anti-Thy-1.2 or anti-Lyt-2.2 antibody, in contrast to treatment with monoclonal anti-L3T4 antibody, prevented the appearance of the massive CD8+ T-cell infiltrate in the s.c. tumor nodules. Melphalan 50-55 thymus cell antigen 1, theta Mus musculus 92-99 27463358-3 1991 Six years later, an increased serum M-protein became evident (IgG$LD, 3 gr/dl) associated with 35% plasma cells in the bone marrow, which necessitated melphalan/prednisone therapy.

Melphalan 111-120 peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase Homo sapiens 124-127 2200536-2 1990 In an attempt to stimulate earlier granulocyte recovery, recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was administered subcutaneously to 23 patients with refractory myeloma who had been treated with melphalan at a high dose of 100 mg/m2. Melphalan 230-239 colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens 75-123 2200536-8 1990 These results support the usefulness of low-dose GM-CSF (0.25 mg/m2) in stimulating marrow recovery in selected patients with adequate marrow reserve treated with high-dose melphalan for refractory multiple myeloma. Melphalan 173-182 colony stimulating factor 2 Homo sapiens 49-55 2201402-0 1990 Colony stimulating activity in the serum of patients with multiple myeloma is enhanced by interleukin 3: a possible role for interleukin 3 after high dose melphalan and autologous bone marrow transplantation for multiple myeloma.

Melphalan 142-151 proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 Homo sapiens 0-4 2381059-8 1990 Plasma exchange was done four times and melphalan was given orally for two weeks, but the level of serum IgA increased further. Melphalan 40-49 CD79a molecule Homo sapiens 105-108 2337902-0 1990 Eradication of a large MOPC-315 tumor in athymic nude mice by chemoimmunotherapy with Lyt2+ splenic T cells from melphalan-treated BALB/c mice bearing a large MOPC-315 tumor. Melphalan 113-122 CD8 antigen, alpha chain Mus musculus 86-90 2289208-1 1990 We have previously shown that, as a consequence of low-dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard) treatment, thymocytes from mice bearing a large, day-10 MOPC-315 tumor, but not thymocytes from normal mice, acquire the ability to generate an enhanced level of antitumor cytotoxicity upon in vitro stimulation with MOPC-315 tumor cells plus low concentrations (9.0-90 IU/ml) of exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2). Melphalan 60-69 interleukin 2 Mus musculus 385-398 2289208-1 1990 We have previously shown that, as a consequence of low-dose melphalan (L-phenylalanine mustard) treatment, thymocytes from mice bearing a large, day-10 MOPC-315 tumor, but not thymocytes from normal mice, acquire the ability to generate an enhanced level of antitumor cytotoxicity upon in vitro stimulation with MOPC-315 tumor cells plus low concentrations (9.0-90 IU/ml) of exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2). Melphalan 60-69 interleukin 2 Mus musculus 400-404 33972235-1 2022 BACKGROUND: Current melphalan-based intravitreal regimens for retinoblastoma (RB) vitreous seeds cause retinal toxicity. Melphalan 20-29 RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens 62-76 2289208-8 1990 Thus, the enhanced level of antitumor cytotoxicity generated by thymocytes from mice that are treated with low-dose melphalan when they have a large, late-stage MOPC-315 tumor is due, at least in part, to the presence of an enlarged pool of CTLp specific for MOPC-315-associated antigens, which mature into CD8+/CD4- effector cells upon stimulation with MOPC-315 tumor cells plus low concentrations of rIL-2. Melphalan 116-125 interleukin 2 Rattus norvegicus 402-407 34676048-0 2021 TAK1-inhibitors are cytotoxic for multiple myeloma cells alone and in combination with melphalan.

Melphalan 95-104 EWS RNA binding protein 1 Homo sapiens 282-285 34530900-10 2021 Finally, we showed that SETD8 inhibition is strongly synergistic with melphalan and may overcome resistance to this alkylating agent widely used in MM treatment. Melphalan 70-79 lysine methyltransferase 5A Homo sapiens 24-29 34530900-12 2021 Moreover, we provide evidences that myeloma cells are dependent on SETD8 activity and its pharmacological inhibition synergizes with melphalan, which could be beneficial to improve MM treatment in high-risk patients whatever their status for p53.

Melphalan 195-204 arginyl aminopeptidase Homo sapiens 31-47 35464103-9 2022 In the analysis using a mouse model of DRONJ-like lesion, it was revealed that anti-mouse RANKL monoclonal antibody and melphalan suppress autoimmune regulator (AIRE) expression in the thymus and imbalanced T cell populations.

Melphalan 204-213 solute carrier family 22 member 3 Homo sapiens 46-53 34969749-2 2022 Herein we investigated the association of select single nucleotide polymorphisms in SLC22A3 (gene encoding OCT3) with clinical outcomes in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with hematopoietic autologous stem cell transplants followed by high-dose melphalan therapy. Melphalan 244-253 solute carrier family 22 member 3 Homo sapiens 84-91 34969749-6 2022 CONCLUSION: OCT3 might be involved in melphalan transport in MM patients. Melphalan 38-47 solute carrier family 22 member 3 Homo sapiens 12-16 35435039-11 2022 We conclude that curcumin mitigates toxicities of high-dose melphalan, possibly through IL-8 modulation. Melphalan 60-69 C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 Homo sapiens 88-92 2788494-7 1989 The magnitude of lysis of EL4 and WEHI 22.1 tumor cells by MOPC-315 in vitro-immunized (IVI) spleen cells from L-PAM-cured MOPC-315 tumor bearers can be substantially enhanced upon reexposure of the spleen cells to MOPC-315-associated antigens during the 12-h 51Cr release assay. Melphalan 111-116 epilepsy 4 Mus musculus 26-29 2479474-2 1989 C/CDP-2 was cross-resistant to carboplatin, L-phenylalanine mustard (melphalan), and CdSO4, but not to other anticancer agents. Melphalan 69-78 cut like homeobox 2 Homo sapiens 2-7 2789274-1 1989 In patients who have not received extensive prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy, it has been previously demonstrated that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) abrogated the leukopenia following administration of melphalan (25 mg/m2). Melphalan 220-229 colony stimulating factor 3 Homo sapiens 121-158 2789274-1 1989 In patients who have not received extensive prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy, it has been previously demonstrated that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) abrogated the leukopenia following administration of melphalan (25 mg/m2).

Melphalan 115-124 colony stimulating factor 3 Homo sapiens 0-5 2789274-12 1989 We conclude that after melphalan chemotherapy, G-CSF may need to be given for only a short period to prevent chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and that G-CSF induces a rapid rise in neutrophil levels even when started 8 days after melphalan administration. Melphalan 231-240 colony stimulating factor 3 Homo sapiens 152-157 2788494-11 1989 Thus, Lyt 2+ T-cells independent of effector macrophages are responsible for lysis of innocent bystander tumor cells by MOPC-315-IVI spleen cells from L-PAM-cured MOPC-315 tumor bearers.

Melphalan 125-134 colony stimulating factor 2 (granulocyte-macrophage) Mus musculus 9-15 2680579-5 1989 In comparison, GM-CSF further reduced the total CFU-GM population in melphalan-treated mice including the levels in the bone marrow and in the spleen. Melphalan 69-78 colony stimulating factor 2 (granulocyte-macrophage) Mus musculus 15-21 2680579-8 1989 The results suggest that GM-CSF could be used to shorten the neutropenic period and reduce mortality caused by a high dose of melphalan.
