title: Inhibitory effect of retinoid (E5166) on cell growth and suppressive effect on Epstein-Barr virus early-antigen induction by n-butyrate in nasopharyngeal hybrid cells.
abstract: The in vitro proliferation and colony-forming activity (plating efficiency) of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen-positive nasopharyngeal hybrid cells were inhibited by one of the retinoid, polyprenoic acid; E5166. It was dependent on retinoid concentration. Furthermore, an induction of EBV early antigen after treatment with 4 mM n-butyrate was markedly suppressed by E5166 and this was similar to the previously reported effects of retinoid acid on iododeoxyuridine (IUDR) and 12-O-tetra-decanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induction. These results support to lead a clinical application of E5166 for combination chemotherapy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
