Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: The effects of two MAPK inhibitors, Sorafenib and PD0325901, were monitored daily using in vivo EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) oximetry in FSaII and TLT tumor models in order to identify a window of reoxygenation, during which tumor blood flow, oxygen consumption and radiation sensitivity were assessed. RESULTS: Reoxygenation was shown after two days of treatments with Sorafenib or PD0325901 in two tumor models, which was further successfully exploited with Sorafenib for improving the radiation response of FSaII tumors by a factor of 1.5. The increase in tumor oxygenation was shown to be the result of two major factors: (i) an increase in blood flow for Sorafenib, that might be linked to its anti-angiogenic effect (vascular normalization), and (ii) a decrease in oxygen consumption for Sorafenib and PD0325901, due to an alteration of the mitochondrial activity. CONCLUSION:
