Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to clarify whether 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced myelotoxicity is a cause of oxidative stress and to demonstrate machineryinvolved in tissue-specific development of adverse-drug reactions. 5-FU-inducedmyelotoxicity in mice was directly linked to intracellular glutathione and activity of Nrf2,indicating that oxidative stress is involved in the process. In addition, 5-FU induced different responses of p53 in the bone marrow and tumor xenografts, which could be participated in the tissue selectivity of the 5-FU-mediated toxicity.
