چکیده

The interaction of hyperthermia and mitomycin C (MMC) was studied in wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cells and in Chinese hamster ovary cells selected for resistance to MMC. Hyperthermic potentiation of MMC activity was maximal if heating was done simultaneously, or up to 3 h following MMC exposure. Heat enhanced the effect of MMC in both drug-sensitive and -resistant cells. Dose enhancement ratios increased from 1.3-2.0 at 42 degrees C to 2.6-3.8 at 43.5 degrees C and were similar for all cell lines. Cellular uptake of MMC was determined by high pressure liquid chromatography. MMC uptake was similar in the drug-sensitive and -resistant cell lines at 37 degrees C. Hyperthermia (43.5 degrees C) increased cellular uptake of MMC by 78 and 27% in MMC-sensitive and -resistant cell lines. MMC-resistant cells were more sensitive to heat alone at 42, 43, and 44 degrees C. The results suggest that tumor cells that have developed resistance to MMC might be treated effectively with MMC combined with heat to augment the response to MMC. Resistance to MMC may also render tumor cells more sensitive to hyperthermia.

In vitro thermochemotherapy of human colon cancer cells with cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) and mitomycin C.

The thermosensitivity of human colon adenocarcinoma (LoVo) cells was investigated as a function of temperature and duration of heating in exponentially growing cultures. At 39-43 degrees, time-dependent survival followed a simple exponential function. Do values decreased progressively with a rise in temperature, from Do at 40 degrees = 38 hr to Do at 42 degrees = 17 hr to Do at 43 degrees = 1.5...

Isolation of Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants deficient in excision repair and mitomycin C bioactivation.

Mitomycin C (MMC), a bifunctional alkylating agent, requires metabolic reduction to become biologically active. We have identified a series of genetically related Chinese hamster ovary cell lines which span approximately three orders of magnitude in the concentration of MMC required for cell killing. Many mechanisms, including drug transport, drug activation, drug detoxification, and the elimin...

Propranolol 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...

Chinese hamster ovary cell lines resistant to mitomycin C under aerobic but not hypoxic conditions are deficient in DT-diaphorase.

We have previously reported the isolation of CHO cell lines resistant to mitomycin C under aerobic conditions of drug exposure. Here it is reported that these cell lines have the same response to mitomycin C under hypoxic conditions as do controls. The cells are shown to have lower levels of DT-diaphorase activity than controls, but similar levels of activity of NADPH:cytochrome c reductase, an...

Activation of mitomycin C by NADPH:cytochrome P-450 reductase.

Mitomycin C is an alkylating agent used in cancer chemotherapy that shows some specificity towards hypoxic cells. The therapeutic effects of this compound are thought to result from its metabolic activation by enzymes such as NADPH:cytochrome P-450 reductase. In a previous report we described a Chinese hamster ovary cell line resistant to mitomycin C, which had a decreased NADPH:cytochrome P-45...
