Vitamin B6 improves the immunogenicity of cisplatin-induced cell death

Oncoimmunology. 2014 Dec 13;3(9):e955685. doi: 10.4161/21624011.2014.955685. eCollection 2014 Oct.

Abstract

We have recently demonstrated that pyridoxine, a precursor of vitamin B6, increases the immunogenicity of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells succumbing to cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), CDDP). Accordingly, pyridoxine promoted the antineoplastic activity of CDDP in NSCLC-bearing mice only in the presence of an intact immune system. These findings may have implications for the development of novel strategies to circumvent CDDP resistance.
