“It is found that both drugs were able to inhibit cell proliferation in a dose-dependent way and the combined treatment with ADM and Se NPs was more effective in inhibiting cell growth than each of the two drugs alone.”
“By combining doxorubicin with selenium , we were successful in producing a brisk enhancement of apoptosis.”
“ Selenium reduced the abundance of phospho-GSK3β induced by doxorubicin , whereas chemical inhibition of GSK3β activity muted the apoptotic response to the selenium/doxorubicin combination.”
“Several lines of evidence converged to support the notion that this effect is important in mediating the synergy between selenium and doxorubicin.”
“ Selenium treatment of the doxorubicin-resistant cell line , U-1285dox, derived from human small cell carcinoma of the lung, resulted in massive apoptosis.”
“Addition of chemotherapeutic agents either Taxol or Doxorubicin with Selenium caused further inhibition of MCF-7, SKBR-3, RH2, HCF8, and HepG2 cells.”
“However, addition of Adriamycin or Taxol in combination with Selenium caused small but significant inhibition of prostate cancer cells LNCap and PC-3.”
“Supplementation of Selenium enhanced chemotherapeutic effect of Taxol and Doxorubicin in these cells beyond that seen with the chemotherapeutic drugs used alone.”

“Some individual doses of Se or TA induced a significant toxicity in SCs, however, when combined with DOX , there was a decrease in cell death, LDH extracellular activity, number of apoptotic cells and caspase-3 activity.”
