Cancer cell proliferations were suppressed after 48-h drug treatment in the zebrafish xenotransplanted with human A549 non-small-cell lung cancer cells, human SGC-7901 stomach cancer cells, human HepG2 liver cancer cells, human JF 305 pancreatic cancer cells, and human MCF-7 breast cancer cells. a1, b1, c1, d1 and e1 were the control xenotransplanted zebrafish without drug treatment. a2–a6 were treated with Bevacizumab, cis-Platinum, Endostar, Paclitaxel and Vinorelbine; b2–b6 were treated with 5-FU, Hydroxyurea, cis-Platinum, Irinotecan and Paclitaxel; c2–c6 were treated with Adriamycin, Gemcitabine, Hydroxyurea, cis-Platinum and 5-FU; and d2–d4 as well as e2–e4 were treated with Furanodiene at concentrations of 1/9 MTC, 1/3 MTC and MTC, respectively. A representative entire body of the xenotransplanted zebrafish body was shown in f.

Synergistic anti-cancer effects of Furanodiene with 5-FU in zebrafish xenotransplanted with human BEL-7402 liver cancer cells (above) or with human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cancer cells (below).

Sensitizing effect of Furanodiene on cis-Platinum-resistant human A549 non-small-cell lung cancer cells (above) and Adriamycin-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells (below) xenotransplanted into zebrafish.

Apoptosis in zebrafish treated with cis-Platinum or Adriamycin alone, and cis-Platinum or Adriamycin in combination with Furanodiene at 1/9 MTC, 1/3 MTC and MTC, respectively (a). Quantitative data of (a) were shown in (b).

DNA single strand breaks (above) and DNA double strand breaks (below) in zebrafish treated with Furanodiene at 1/9 MTC, 1/3 MTC and MTC. H2O2 was used as a positive control.

Pgp efflux transporter regulation in zebrafish treated with Furanodiene. (a) Pgp function inhibition by Furanodiene at 1/9 MTC, 1/3 MTC and MTC, 1 mM Verapamil was used as a positive control; (b) Pgp gene expression analyses by PCR; and (c) Pgp protein assay by Western blot.
