    Abstracts001-Edi 24.07.2005 12:17 Uhr Seite 1 EDITORIAL Dear Participants of the 5th World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences, The abstract book contains 614 abstracts of the plenary lectures of 272 oral presentations and 342 posters to be presented at the 5th World Congress on Alternatives in August 2005 in Berlin, Germany. The programme and the abstract book allow you to make your best selection of presentations among seven themes, which will be discussed in 29 sessions, 15 workshops and in the poster sessions. Usually, the first author of an abstract is slotted to give the oral presentation or to be present during the poster session to discuss your comments and questions. Otherwise, the presenting author is marked with an asterisk (*). We hope that you will find the abstracts particularly helpful to set priorities when two or more sessions are scheduled at the same time. In case you do not manage to attend a session or to meet an author, the contact addresses are given for each contributor. It is obvious from the list of sponsors, the programme and from the number of abstracts submitted that the most important topic of the 5th World Congress will be in vitro testing of cosmetic ingredients, in particular acute local toxicity testing. More abstracts have been submitted to sessions and workshops of Theme 5 “Safety testing, validation and risk assessment” than to any of the other themes. Moreover, more than 60 abstracts have been submitted to session 5.4 “Development and validation of alternatives for dermal toxicity testing”.

ABSTRACT Trifluridine (FTD) is a key component of the novel oral antitumor drug trifluridine/tipiracil, which is approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to standard chemotherapies. A microRNA analysis of three colorectal cell lines was conducted to investigate causes of FTD resistance. Drug resistant sublines of DLD-1, HCT-116, and RKO cells were developed by continuous administration of increasing doses of FTD for 5 months.
