Measuring Cancer Drug Sensitivity and Resistance in Cultured Cells.
Measuring the potencies of small-molecule drugs in cell lines is a critical aspect of preclinical pharmacology. Such experiments are also prototypical of high-throughput experiments in multi-well plates. The procedure is simple in principle, but many unrecognized factors can affect the results, potentially making data unreliable. The procedures for measuring drug response described here were de...
متن کاملRole of the lung resistance-related protein (LRP) in the drug sensitivity of cultured tumor cells.
Drug resistance, one of the major obstacle in the successful anticancer therapy, can be observed at the outset of therapy (intrinsic resistance) or after exposure to the antitumor agent (acquired resistance). To gain a better insight into the mechanisms of intrinsic resistance we have analyzed two human cell types derived from untreated tumors: MCF-7 breast cancer and A549 non small cell lung c...
متن کاملGene amplification and drug resistance in cultured murine cells.
Resistance of mouse cells to the folate analog, methotrexate, results from selection of increasingly resistant cells on progressive increases of methotrexate in the culture medium. High-level resistance is associated with high rates of synthesis of dihydrofolate reductase and correspondingly high numbers of reductase genes. In some variants high resistance and gene copy number are stable in the...
متن کاملPredicting drug sensitivity and resistance: profiling ABC transporter genes in cancer cells.
For analysis of multidrug resistance, a major barrier to effective cancer chemotherapy, we profiled mRNA expression of the 48 known human ABC transporters in 60 diverse cancer cell lines (the NCI-60) used by the National Cancer Institute to screen for anticancer activity. The use of real-time RT-PCR avoided artifacts commonly encountered with microarray technologies. By correlating the results ...
