Vitamin D3 Increases Cryoablation Efficacy Key Findings VD3 pre-treatment pulse (2 days) followed by freezing (in vitro and in vivo) resulted in Total cell ablation without of re-growth for both androgen-sensitive (AS) and androgen-insensitive (AI) prostate cancers. Increased levels of both necrotic and apoptotic cell death cascades. Increased caspase activity and duration in AI cells more significantly than was observed for AS cells. Elevated caspase-9 activity in the AI cells indicates that vitamin D3 treatment prior to freezing was able to increase mitochondrial mediated apoptotic cascades to levels comparable with freeze-sensitive AS cells. Single Pulse Vitamin D3 exposure offers a promising neo-adjunctive cryosensitization strategy.
