چکیده

The development of drug resistance by tumor cells is a major obstacle to the cure of human malignancy. Cyclosporin A (CsA) completely reverses primary resistance to vincristine and cross resistance to daunorubicin in a pleiotropic drug-resistant subline of human T cell acute lymphatic leukemia. This subline is over 50-fold resistant to vincristine and fivefold resistant to daunorubicin. CsA has little effect on vincristine or daunorubicin activity in drug-sensitive parental leukemia and corrects daunorubicin resistance without altering cellular daunorubicin accumulation.

Tumor Cells Daunorubicin-resistant and -sensitive Human and Murine Daunorubicin-produced Nucleolar Protein B23 Translocation in Cyclosporin A and Verapamil Enhancement of Updated Version

It has recently been shown that anthracycline antibiotic-resistant tumor cells are less responsive to daunorubicin-stimulated B23 nucleolar phosphoprotein translocation than drug-sensitive cells. Since cyclosporin A and verapamil reverse primary acquired and secondary cross-resistance to daunorubicin, we investigated the effect of these agents on nucleolar B23 translocation in sensitive and res...

Comparison of prognostic value of in vitro drug resistance and bone marrow residual disease on day 15 of therapy in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

AIM The analysis of the prognostic impact of residual disease at day 15 of induction therapy, individual tumor response testing (ITRT) at diagnosis, initial factors and initial therapy response to the risk of relapse in children with precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 87 children were tested at diagnosis for ITRT and for persistence of blasts ...

Resistance to different classes of drugs is associated with impaired apoptosis in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Resistance of leukemic cells to chemotherapeutic agents is associated with an unfavorable outcome in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To investigate the underlying mechanisms of cellular drug resistance, the activation of various apoptotic parameters in leukemic cells from 50 children with ALL was studied after in vitro exposure with 4 important drugs in ALL therapy (prednisolone, ...

In vitro drug resistance profiles of adult versus childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

The difference in the current cure rates between adult and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) may be caused by differences in drug resistance. Earlier studies showed that in vitro cellular drug resistance is a strong independent adverse risk factor in childhood ALL. Knowledge about cellular drug resistance in adult ALL is still limited. The present study compared the in vitro drug re...
