Effect of incadronate on proliferation of mesenchymal tumor cells with or without activated Ras mutation.

Abstract excerpt

The present investigation examined the effect of bisphosphonates on six mesenchymal tumor cell lines and the mechanisms of inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. HT-1080, a fibrosarcoma cell line that exhibits increased Ras activity due to a mutation of the Ras gene, demonstrated significantly reduced tumor cell proliferation upon treatment with incadronate. The other cell lines, however, which lack mutation of...
