Cisplatin selects short forms of the mitochondrial DNA OriB variant (16184–16193 poly-cytosine tract), which confer resistance to cisplatin

چکیده
A number of alternations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been reported in different types of cancers, and the role of mtDNA in cancer has been attracting increasing interest. In order to investigate the relationship between mtDNA alternations and chemosensitivity, we constructed cybrid (trans-mitochondrial hybrid) cell lines carrying a HeLa nucleus and the mtDNA of healthy individuals because of the presence of somatic alternations in the mtDNA of many cancer cells. After a treatment with 1.0 μg/mL cisplatin for 10 days, we isolated 100 cisplatin-resistant clones, 70 of which carried the shorter mtDNA OriB variant (16184-16193 poly-cytosine tract), which was located in the control region of mtDNA. Whole mtDNA sequencing of 10 clones revealed no additional alternations. Re-construction of the HeLa nucleus and mtDNA from cisplatin-resistant cells showed that cisplatin resistance was only acquired by mtDNA alternations in the control region, and not by possible alternation(s) in the nuclear genome.

G enetic factors are important in the aetiology of the two most common neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). 2 Individuals with AD are more likely to have a similarly affected mother than a similarly affected father, raising the possibility of a maternally transmitted susceptibility factor. Patients with AD accumulate cytochrome c oxidase defi...
متن کاملCisplatin cytotoxicity is dependent on mitochondrial respiration in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Objective(s): To understand the role of mitochondrial respiration in cisplatin sensitivity, we have employed wild-type and mitochondrial DNA depleted Rho0 yeast cells. Materials and Methods: Wild type and Rho0 yeast cultured in fermentable and non-fermentable sugar containing media, were studied for their sensitivity against cisplatin by monitoring growth curves, oxygen consumption, pH changes ...
متن کاملInvestigation on metabolism of cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer using a genome scale metabolic model and microarray data
Objective(s): Many cancer cells show significant resistance to drugs that kill drug sensitive cancer cells and non-tumor cells and such resistance might be a consequence of the difference in metabolism. Therefore, studying the metabolism of drug resistant cancer cells and comparison with drug sensitive and normal cell lines is the objective of this research. Material and Methods:Metabolism of c...
متن کاملCross-resistance to cisplatin in cells resistant to photofrin-mediated photodynamic therapy.
This study shows that a Photofrin-induced photodynamic therapy-resistant variant (RIF-8A) of a radiation-induced fibrosarcoma-1 cell line (RIF-1) is cross-resistant to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin). This is the first study to show cross-resistance to cisplatin in photodynamic therapy-resistant variants in vitro. Resistance does not appear to be the result of elevated glutathione ...
