  • X-ray (4Gy) irradiation was started 2 hours after administration of the FGFR3 inhibitor.
  • Administration of FGFR3 inhibitor and X-ray (4Gy) irradiation were performed once a day for 5 days.
  • a group in which no treatment was performed, a group in which only FGFR3 inhibitor was administered, and a group in which only X-ray (4Gy) irradiation was performed were used as comparison targets.
  • 4Gy indicates X-ray.
  • the growth of tumor cells can be significantly suppressed.
  • the effect of inhibiting the growth of tumor cells when FGFR3 inhibitor administration and X-ray (4Gy) irradiation are used in combination is the effect of tumor cells when FGFR3 inhibitor administration or X-ray (4Gy) irradiation is performed alone. It was so remarkable that it could not be predicted from the growth inhibitory effect.
  • 25 genes with higher reliability were selected as genes related to X-ray resistance. Quantitative for the 25 genes The mRNA expression was confirmed by real-time RT-PCR, and the FGFR3 gene that was highly expressed in the resistant strain and in which the inhibitor was present was selected.
  • the anticancer effect by radiation therapy can be enhanced. Therefore, by using the radiotherapy effect enhancer according to the present invention, for example, a radiotherapy can be performed with a low dose, and a treatment method that reduces the burden on the patient can be provided. Moreover, by using the radiotherapy effect enhancer according to the present invention, for example, radiotherapy with a low dose becomes possible, and side effects due to radiotherapy can be reduced. Furthermore, an effective therapeutic effect overcoming the radiation therapy resistance can be obtained by increasing the radiation therapy effect on the tumor having radiation resistance.

Abstract

L'invention concerne le renforcement de l'activité anticancéreuse d'une radiothérapie. On réussit à identifier un groupe de gènes impliqué dans la résistance à un rayonnement radioactif. On se concentre sur un gène spécifique parmi le groupe de gènes. Il a été démontré que l'effet thérapeutique de la radiothérapie peut être renforcé et que les effets secondaires de la radiothérapie peuvent être réduits grâce à l'utilisation d'un inhibiteur d'un produit du gène en combinaison avec la radiothérapie. Un agent de renforcement de l'effet thérapeutique de la radiothérapie comprend un inhibiteur de récepteur-3 du facteur de croissance du fibroblaste (FGFR3) comme ingrédient actif.
