Abstract
The cisplatin(CDDP)‐resistant cell line GLC4‐CDDP shows a variety of differences from the parent line GLC4. The aim of this study was to determine which of the observed changes correlated with the degree of resistance and was therefore relevant to the phenomenon of CDDP resistance. For these experiments we used cells of the sensitive hSCLC cell line GLC4 and the in vitro‐acquired CDDP‐resistant sublines GLC4‐CDDP3 and GLC4‐CDDP11, with a resistance factor (RF) of 3 and 11 respectively for CDDP and of 1.8 and 7.4 respectively for carboplatin. Carboplatin was used, in addition to CDDP in seeking relevant mechanisms. No consistency was found between the RF and the growth pattern or antigen expression, cellular volume, doubling time, cellular or nuclear platinum (Pt) content or the level of Pt‐non‐histone chromatin protein (NHCP) binding. A correlation was found between the RF and the level of glutathione (GSH), and a trend was found for the level of Pt‐DNA binding, Pt‐GG adduct content and the amount of interstrand cross‐links (ISC). These changes might therefore be relevant for the development of resistance. These findings are compatible with a GSH‐induced reduction of the amount of reactive Pt in the resistant cell, resulting in a lower net platination and toxic Pt‐DNA adduct formation.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
