Ba. Baibakov et al., ANTITUMOR EFFECT OF K+ H+-ANTIPORTER NIGERICIN ON HUMAN LUNG-CARCINOMA GROWN IN IN-VIVO-LIKE HISTOCULTURES/, International journal of oncology, 3(6), 1993, pp. 1127-1129
Small shifts of intracellular pH (pH(i)) play a crucial role in many c
ellular functions, in particular progression through the cell cycle. W
e present results demonstrating that in the majority of cases, nigeric
in shows cytostatic effect on tumor cells in the in vivo-like 3-dimens
ional histocultures of human lung tissues while the normal tissue rema
ins morphologically intact.
