چکیده

BACKGROUND The H69-EPR, H69-CP, H69-VP and H69/R38 resistant sublines of the classic small cell lung cancer (SCLC) line have proven useful in studies of resistance and its circumvention with paclitaxel. MATERIALS AND METHODS The suppressor/oncogene profile of these sublines determined by Western and Northern blot was compared to the variant H82 SCLC cell profile. Two-dimensional electrophoresis/mass spectrometry was used to determine the effect of paclitaxel on protein expression. RESULTS The H69-EPR and H69-CP resistant sublines were similar to the variant H82 cells for bcl-2, p21waf1, p53, N-myc and c-myc expression while the H69-VP subline retained the classic H69 pattern. A 1-h treatment with 10 ng/ml paclitaxel substantially reversed the resistance except for the H69/R38 subline and tended to reverse the resistance-associated changes in protein expression in the H69-EPR subline. CONCLUSION Although some resistant sublines express a variant pattern of suppressor/oncogenes with low bcl-2, resistance is substantially reversed by paclitaxel treatment.

Atorvastatin Sensitizes Breast and Lung Cancer Cells to Ionizing Radiation

Tumour cells may be resistant to radiotherapy that results in unsuccessful cancer treatment in patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitizing effect of atorvastatin (ATV) on breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and non-small cell lung cancer (A-549) cells following exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). These cells were treated with ATV and exposed to X-ray at dose 4 Gy. The radiosensitizi...

Investigation 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...

ATM induces radioresistance of non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells by downregulation of MDMX

Background: Tumor radioresistance leads to a reduction in the efficiency of radiation therapy. It is very important to explore the cellular mechanisms leading to radioresistance and to find potential therapeutic targets, which might improve the efficacy of radiation therapy. This study was to investigate the role of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and murine double minute X (MDMX) in radior...

Differential Attachment of Pulmonary Cells on PDMS Substrate with Varied Features

Cancer is now a global concern, and control of the function of cancer cells is recognized as an important challenge. Although many aggressive chemical and radiation methods are in practice to eliminate cancer cells, most imply severe adverse toxic effects on patients. Taking advantage of natural physical differences between cancer and normal cells might benefit the patient with more specific cy...
