In vitro studies have shown that paclitaxel is a potent radiation sensitizer. Survival curves using grade 3 human astrocytoma cell lines showed a sensitizer enhancement ratio of 1.8 (57). In a series of experiments using a human leukemic cell line (HL-60), a sensitizing enhancement ratio of 1.48 was noted (58). Other studies have shown that G2/M block is not the only mechanism of paclitaxel-induced radiosensitization (59).

Activation of p42/p44 MAPK can be linked to expression of immediate early genes, as has been demonstrated for krox-24 expression induced by CBi receptors in U373MG human astrocytoma cells (Bouaboula et al. 1995a). Administration of A -THC to mice led to the p42/p44 MAPK-dependent expression of c-fos and zif268 in the hippocampus (Derkinderen et al. 2003). These transcription factors modulate the gene expression pattern for proteins involved in cellular functions associated with synaptic plasticity, cell survival, and differentiation.
