Analysis of dihydrofolate reductase and reduced folate carrier gene status in relation to methotrexate resistance in osteosarcoma cells.
BACKGROUND To evaluate the impact of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and reduced folate carrier (RFC) genes on methotrexate (MTX) resistance in osteosarcoma cells in relation to retinoblastoma (RB1) gene status. MATERIALS AND METHODS A series of human osteosarcoma cell lines-either sensitive or resistant to MTX-and 16 osteosarcoma tumour samples were used in this study. RESULTS In U-2OS MTX-...
متن کاملInfluence of reduced folate carrier and dihydrofolate reductase genes on methotrexate-induced cytotoxicity.
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of genetic variations and the expression of the reduced folate carrier (RFC) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) on the drug sensitivity to methotrexate (MTX) in different cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined the six human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, AGS, A549, NCI-H23, HCT-116 and Saos-2). The cytotoxicity of MTX was mea...
متن کاملEffect of arsenic on neural tube in mouse embryo and relation to reduced folate carrier (RFC-1)
Arsenic is an important environmental toxicant which is usually found in drinking water in inorganic form. The hypothesis tested in this investigation is; arsenic exposure causes neural tube defects (NTDs) andthese defects of the central nervous system are more likely related to folate deficiency during fetal life. In this study, sodium arsenate was administered via intraperitoneal route at a r...

ویژگی های زمین شیمیایی، کانی شناسی، و میکرومورفولوژیکی خاک ها و سنگ مادر مربوطه در منطقه بین بخش های جنوبی زاگرس و خلیج فارس تا دریای عمان(استان هرمزگان، ایران) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. هدف های این مطالعه شناسایی تغییرات در خصوصیات فیزیکی، شیمیایی، و ترکیب کانی شناسی خاک، مطالعه میکرومورفولوژی و تکامل خاک، و بررسی توزیع عنصر خاک بر اساس هوازدگی، پروسه های خاک و زمین شناسی جهت توصیف اثرات مواد مادر...
15 صفحه اولEffects of 5-fluorouracil on dihydrofolate reductase and dihydrofolate reductase mRNA from methotrexate-resistant KB cells.
Growth of methotrexate-resistant dihydrofolate reductase gene-amplified KB cells in the presence of 5-fluorouracil results in an increase in dihydrofolate reductase mRNA. This increase can be solely attributed to a species of RNA of approximately 3.5 kilobase pairs in size. Although dihydrofolate reductase enzyme activity increases per cell with increasing 5-fluorouracil, there is a decrease of...
