The canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is the most common malignity in dogs. Because there are reports that this tumor is resistant to vincristine sulfate, the chemotherapeutic options are scarce, and the development of new therapeutic approaches is necessary. In this study, we evaluated the cytotoxic activity of vincristine, doxorubicin, temozolomide, panobinostat, toceranib, gemcitabine, cisplatin, fluorouracil, cyclophosphamide, and methotrexate on a CTVT cell line, determining that all drugs decreased the viability in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, they inhibit cellular migration in a time- and drug-dependent manner, as evaluated by the wound healing assay. On the other hand, vincristine, panobinostat, gemcitabine, toceranib, cyclophosphamide, and methotrexate increased the percentage of cells in the subG1 phase, and doxorubicin, temozolomide, gemcitabine, toceranib, and methotrexate decreased the percentage of cells in the synthesis phase. To efficientize the use of vincristine, only toceranib increased the cytotoxic effect of vincristine in a synergistic manner. Our results confirm the use of vincristine as the gold standard for CTVT treatment as monotherapy and suggest the use of a combinatorial and sequential treatment with toceranib.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
