Mitomycin resistance in mammalian cells expressing the bacterial mitomycin C resistance protein MCRA.
The mitomycin C-resistance gene, mcrA, of Streptomyces lavendulae produces MCRA, a protein that protects this microorganism from its own antibiotic, the antitumor drug mitomycin C. Expression of the bacterial mcrA gene in mammalian Chinese hamster ovary cells causes profound resistance to mitomycin C and to its structurally related analog porfiromycin under aerobic conditions but produces littl...
متن کاملA diffusible resistance factor(s) in spontaneous mitomycin resistant mammalian cancer cells.
We developed a Mitomycin C (MMC)-resistant mouse breast cancer cell subline, R-FM3A, from FM3A parent cells(W-FM3A) by continuous exposure to a concentration of 0.01 microgram/ml MMC for over two months. R-FM3A cells were resistant to MMC and decreased in response to the combined effects of ionizing irradiation and MMC. The resistance to MMC and ionizing irradiation was mediated by a cell-free ...
متن کاملMolecular basis of mitomycin C resistance in streptomyces: structure and function of the MRD protein.
Mitomycin C (MC) is a potent anticancer agent. Streptomyces lavendulae, which produces MC, protects itself from the lethal effects of the drug by expressing several resistance proteins. One of them (MRD) binds MC and functions as a drug exporter. We report the crystal structure of MRD and its complex with an MC metabolite, 1,2-cis-1-hydroxy-2,7-diaminomitosene, at 1.5 A resolution. The drug is ...
متن کاملCombatting bacterial infections by killing persister cells with mitomycin C.
Persister cells are a multi-drug tolerant subpopulation of bacteria that contribute to chronic and recalcitrant clinical infections such as cystic fibrosis and tuberculosis. Persisters are metabolically dormant, so they are highly tolerant to all traditional antibiotics which are mainly effective against actively growing cells. Here, we show that the FDA-approved anti-cancer drug mitomycin C (M...
متن کاملMitomycin C resistance in a human colon carcinoma cell line associated with cell surface protein alterations.
A human colon carcinoma cell line resistant to mitomycin C (MMC) was obtained by repeated exposure of a previously described sensitive parental line, HCT 116, to MMC in vitro. Xenografts grown from the MMC-resistant phenotype were not inhibited in MMC-treated animals, while MMC treatment produced growth inhibition in parental cell xenografts. The MMC-resistant phenotype exhibited a greater amou...
