Enhancement of drug sensitivity and a bystander effect in PC-9 cells transfected with a platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor thymidine phosphorylase cDNA.

5'-Deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR) and 1-(tetrahydro-2-furyl)-5-fluorouracil (tegafur), prodrugs of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), are anticancer agents activated by thymidine phosphorylase (dThdPase). As it is well known that the levels of dThdPase are higher in tumours than in normal tissue, it...
