Glutathione S-transferase and drug resistance.
GST isozymes are an important part of the normal cellular defense against toxic xenobiotics and carcinogens. These multifunctional proteins can interact with a broad range of substrates in a variety of ways. In particular, GSTs have been implicated in the detoxication of many antineoplastic agents. Elevated levels of certain GST isozymes have been associated with malignant transformation and wi...
متن کاملCross-resistance and glutathione-S-transferase-pi levels among four human melanoma cell lines selected for alkylating agent resistance.
A panel of four cell sublines, each selected for resistance to a different antineoplastic agent, has been developed from a human malignant melanoma cell line G3361. Following repeated exposure to escalating doses of the drug of interest, cloned sublines were developed that are 9-fold resistant to cisplatin (G3361/CP), 11-fold resistant to 4-hydroxyperoxy-cyclophosphamide (4-HC) (G3361/HC), 4-fo...
متن کاملInduction of glutathione s-transferase-pi in Barrett's metaplasia and Barrett's adenocarcinoma cell lines.
Barrett's metaplasia consists of columnar epithelium that replaces the normal esophageal mucosa in patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux. Because intestinal-type Barrett's metaplasia is the major risk factor for adenocarcinoma development, understanding the mechanisms that predispose the esophageal mucosa to malignant degeneration is clinically important. Glutathione s-transferase (GST)...
متن کاملGlutathione-S-transferase-pi (GST-pi) expression in renal cell carcinoma
Multidrug resistance correlates with unfavourable treatment outcomes in numerous cancers including renal cell carcinoma. The expression and clinical relevance of Glutathione-S-transferase-pi (GST-pi), a multidrug resistance factor, in kidney tumors remain controversial. We analyzed the expression of GST-pi in 60 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded renal cell carcinoma samples by immunohistochemis...
متن کاملHepsulfam sensitivity in human breast cancer cell lines: the role of glutathione and glutathione S-transferase in resistance.
Hepsulfam (NSC 329680, 1,7-heptanediol disulfamate) is an alkylating agent that showed excellent activity against mouse and human mammary carcinoma in preclinical studies. We therefore studied the cytotoxicity of this drug in six human breast cancer cell lines (AdrRMCF7, WTMCF7, Hs578T, MDA-MB-231, T47D, and MDA-MB-468). Clonogenic assays of these cell lines showed a range of sensitivity with t...
