Attenuated topoisomerase II content directly correlates with a low level of drug resistance in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line.

چکیده
A new multiple drug-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cell line, CHO-SMR5, has been isolated which demonstrates a direct correlation between reduced cellular topoisomerase II activity (5-fold reduction) and a low level of resistance (3- to 7-fold) to topoisomerase II inhibitors. This cell line, initially selected for resistance to 9-(4,6-O-ethylidene-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-4'-demethylepipodophylloto xin, exhibits cross-resistance to other topoisomerase II inhibitors including 4'-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide, doxorubicin, and mitoxantrone. The resistant cells show a 4.5-fold decrease in topoisomerase II by immunoblotting when compared to wild-type cells. Drug uptake studies reveal equivalent equilibrium intracellular concentrations of [3H]9-(4,6-O-ethylidene-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-4'-demethyepipodophyll otoxin in the resistant and parental cells. The catalytic activity of topoisomerase II (decatenation of kinetoplast DNA) is 5-fold less in the drug-resistant cell line relative to wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cells. Drug-induced DNA damage, measured as either formation of DNA double-strand breaks or covalent DNA-enzyme complexes, is 4-fold less in the resistant cell line. Finally, Northern blot analysis demonstrates a 5-fold reduction in topoisomerase II mRNA isolated from log phase CHO-SMR5 cells. These findings suggest that a reduced level of topoisomerase II is likely to be the sole mechanism of drug resistance in this novel cell line.

متن کاملPropranolol induced chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cell line
Propranolol (PL), a non-selective beta-blocker, is a cardiovascular drug widely used to treat hypertension. The present study was concerned with assessing the cytogenetic effects of this drug on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line. MTT assay was then carried out to determine the cytotoxicity index (IC50) of the drug. The IC50 value of PL was 0.43±0.02 mM. To investigate the clastogenic effect...
متن کاملProliferation-dependent topoisomerase II content as a determinant of antineoplastic drug action in human, mouse, and Chinese hamster ovary cells.
We have shown previously that quiescent Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are less sensitive than log phase CHO cells to the cytotoxic and DNA cleavage effects of etoposide, a drug which appears to act via DNA topoisomerase II. This loss of sensitivity was associated with a decrease in topoisomerase enzyme activity in nuclear extracts of the quiescent cells. We have now extended our observation...

We have isolated two Chinese hamster ovary cell lines, designated ADR-4 and ADR-5, which exhibit hypersensitivity to intercalating agents and epipodophyllotoxins. These drugs are thought to exert their cytotoxicity via an interaction with the enzyme topoisomerase II. However, there is no apparent change in the level or catalytic activity of topoisomerase II in the mutant cells. Drug sensitivity...
