Abstrakt: The effect of sodium butyrate was examined on the growth and phenotypic expression of a cell line derived from the ascitic fluid of an untreated patient with ovarian carcinoma. The chemical inducer of differentiation, sodium butyrate, markedly enhances the activity of the membrane-bound glycoprotein enzymes, alkaline phosphatase and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase. The alkaline phosphatase corresponds to placental Regan type. Sodium butyrate (1 mM) alone has only a small inhibitory effect on cell growth. However, it was shown to potentiate the anti-proliferative effect of Adriamycin®and to render the cells sensitive to cis-platinum.
