In Vivo Model
6-8 week old male balb/cnude micewere purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China). Nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cells were collected during logarithmic growth and rinsed with PBS twice and resuspended to a density of 1 x 107 cells/ml using fresh and cooled DMEM/F12 medium (free of FBS and antibiotics). Each mouse was inoculated subcutaneously with a 0.1 ml cell suspension on the right-side flank. Tumor-bearing mice were used for in vivo anticancer studies 8 days after inoculation when the average tumor volume reached ~200 mm3.

Response regulation Cephalosporin antibiotics showed highly specific and selective anticancer activity on nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cells both in vitro and vivo with minimal toxicity. Pathway analyses indicate apoptotic and the ErbB-MAPK-p53 signaling pathways are significantly enriched. HMOX1 represents the top one ranked upregulated gene by COS and overlaps with 16 of 42 enriched apoptotic signaling pathways. Inhibition of HMOX1 significantly reduced the anticancer efficacy of cefotaxime in CNE2 cells.
