چکیده

DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) has been identified as a principal target of a plant alkaloid camptothecin (CPT) and its derivative (CPT-11). The latter compound is expected to be a clinically useful antitumor agent. Three human tumor cell lines resistant to CPT (A549/CPT, HT-29/CPT, St-4/CPT) were isolated in vitro, and a murine tumor cell line resistant to CPT-11 (P388/CPT) was isolated in vivo by continuous exposure of the drugs. A549/CPT, HT-29/CPT, and St-4/CPT showed 1.8-, 6.9-, and 8.8-fold more resistance to CPT, and P388/CPT showed 45-fold more resistance to CPT than did the parental line. To examine the possible involvement of topo I in drug-resistant mechanisms, a monoclonal anti body was developed by using purified human topo I as antigen. The antibody T14C (immunoglobulin Cl) recognized both human and murine topo I, as shown by Western blot analysis. By using this monoclonal antibody, cellular contents of topo I were examined in CPT-resistant tumor lines. Respective contents of topo I in HT-29/CPT, St-4/CPT, and P388/CPT were approximately 8-, 4-, and 3-fold less than those in their parental cell lines. A549/CPT, a weak CPT-resistant line, possessed amounts of topo I similar to those of the parental line. HT-29/CPT showed lower topo I activity than did the parental HT-29 in the nuclear extracts and in the hydroxylapatite column-eluted fractions. Purified topo I from HT-29 and HT-29/CPT showed similar catalytic activity when the same amounts of protein were used. These results indicate that the quantitative reduction of topo I content seems to be the most frequently occurring event in the development of resistance to camptothecin.

Elevated expression of DNA topoisomerase II in camptothecin-resistant human tumor cell lines.

In a previous study, we established camptothecin (CPT)-resistant cell lines, A549/CPT and HT-29/CPT, from human lung cancer A549 and human colon cancer HT-29. A549/CPT was shown to express similar amounts of DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) as the parental line, and HT-29/CPT was shown to express lower amounts of topo I than its parental line. DNA topoisomerases I and II are known to be functionall...

Increased expression of DNA topoisomerase I gene and collateral sensitivity to camptothecin in human cisplatin-resistant bladder cancer cells.

We established three cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin)-resistant cell lines, T24/DDP5, T24/DDP7, and T24/DDP10, by the stepwise exposure of T24 human bladder cancer cells to increasing concentrations of cisplatin. The resistance to cisplatin of T24/DDP5, T24/DDP7, and T24/DDP10 cells was 2.2-, 5.2-, and 8.4-fold that of the parental T24 cells, respectively. The cisplatin-resistant ce...

Characterization and Mechanism of Resistance Cell Line of Human Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Establishment of a Camptothecin Analogue (CPT-11)-resistant

Camptothecin-l 1 (CPT-11) is a new derivative of camptothecin, a plant alkaloid antitumor agent, and a good candidate for clinical trials because of higher antitumor activity, less toxicity, and high aqueous solubility. CPT-11 is known to be altered into an active form, SN-38, by esterase in in vivo. CPT-11-resistant cells (PC-7/CPT) established from a human nonsmall cell lung cancer cell (PC-7...

Induction of alkylator (melphalan) resistance in HL60 cells is accompanied by increased levels of topoisomerase II expression and function.

Human leukemic HL60 cells were selected for resistance to alkylating agents by stepwise exposure to increasing concentrations of L-phenylalanine mustard (melphalan). The resulting resistant cell line (R-HL60) was 4-fold resistant (melphalan IC50 value, 27.84 +/- 4.2 microM) to melphalan compared with parental HL60 cells (melphalan IC50 value, 6.9 +/- 1.78 microM). Nuclear extracts from R-HL60 c...
