“…4TI breast cancer cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA), which were radiation and paraplatin sensitive [19,20], and EMT-6 tumors (ATCC, Manassas, VA), which were radiation and paraplatin resistant [21,22], were used in this study. 4TI cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco N.Y. USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).…”

“…High-quality trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy protocols as well as to provide guidance for treating high-risk mammary gland tumours (Sorenmo 2003, Sorenmo and others 2013). Previous studies evaluating thalidomide in the 4T1 mice mammary tumour model have demonstrated a clear benefit in controlling primary tumour development, as well as metastatic progression (De Souza and others 2012, De Souza and others 2014, Dos Reis and others 2014). Two pilot studies involving thalidomide were performed in veterinary medicine: thalidomide induced prolonged responses as a single drug in canine haemangiosarcomas (Woods and others 2004), and a multimodal approach including bleomycin, piroxican, thalidomide, radiotherapy and surgery was considered to have encouraging results in feline unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (Marconato and others 2013).…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of adverse events (AEs) in female dogs diagnosed with advanced clinical stage mammary gland neoplasms following treatment with thalidomide. A prospective analysis of 29 female dogs treated with a high dose (HD) of 20 mg/kg/day of thalidomide for three months followed by a low dose (LD) of 10 mg/kg/day of thalidomide for three months was performed. All patients underwent physical examination, complete blood count, serum biochemistry profile, thoracic radiographs, and abdominal ultrasound analysis before the treatment and after the HD and LD. Clinical AEs were absent in 16/29 (55.17 per cent) patients following HD. An initial 3-5 day period of somnolence was described in 4/29 (13.79 per cent), prolonged somnolence in 5/29 (17.24 per cent), a short period of somnolence lasting only a few hours in 3/29 (10.34 per cent), and difficulty to rouse was described in 5/29 (17.24 per cent) cases. Two patients (6.89 per cent) presented with prolonged somnolence that interfered with activities of daily living, resulting in anticipation of the dose reduction to the proposed LD after 15 days of the HD treatment. Following dose reduction, AE improvement was observed in all patients. Albeit remaining within the reference ranges, erythrocytes, haematocrit, total leucocyte count, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase showed significant alteration associated to thalidomide treatment.

“…Subsequently, it was revealed in 1999 that THD can be used in the treatment of multiple myeloma (7). In the following years, a large number of studies revealed that THD exerted an antitumor effect in several types of cancer, including prostate, colorectal, non-small-cell lung and breast cancer, and renal cell carcinoma (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). The invasion and metastasis of tumors depends on the process of angiogenesis, and THD may be able to inhibit the growth of tumor tissue by preventing the development of the necessary blood vessels.…”

Abstract. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most frequently occurring malignancies worldwide and it is the fourth most common cause of cancer-associated mortality in Western countries. Thalidomide (THD) plays an important role in tumor therapy, as it is able to promote early stage apoptosis and inhibit the process of angiogenesis. The present study evaluated the ability of the combination of THD and gemcitabine (GEM) to inhibit the growth of the pancreatic cancer SW-1990 cell line in vitro and in vivo. Early apoptosis in the SW-1990 cells was detected by the Annexin V/propidium iodide double staining method, the level of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot analysis. In addition, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in transplanted tumor tissue was measured by RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. Cluster of differentiation 34 positivity was considered to indicate the microvessel density. Subsequent to treatment with THD and GEM alone or in combination, it was found that the expression of Bax was upregulated, while the expression of Bcl-2 was downregulated, and the growth of SW-1990 cells and transplanted tumors in nude mice was evidently inhibited. The administration of THD in combination with GEM may demonstrate a potent antitumor effect that increases with increasing dose. The mechanism behind the antitumor effect may be associated with the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and induction of the apoptosis pathway.
