Resistance to chemotherapy is common in non-small cell lung cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of in vitro established drug resistance markers on the response to chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Samples of 38 patients were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining, for topoisomerase IIalpha and IIbeta, Ki-67, MRP and LRP. In addition, mutation analysis of the topoisomerase IIalpha gene, the B/DNBS and the Tyr804 region, was performed. Lung tumor biopsies were taken prior for treatment with one of the following regimens; cisplatin/paclitaxel, cisplatin/VM26 or VP16, or carboplatin/VP16/ifosfamide. Seventeen patients obtained a partial response, 12 had stable disease and nine patients had progressive disease. None of the investigated markers was related with overall response rate. In one sample a point mutation in the B/DNBS region of the topo IIalpha gene was detected which substitutes IIe(510) with Val. This tumor had a partial response to four courses of cisplatin/VP16 treatment. The survival analysis showed that the patients with high topo IIalpha expressing tumors had a significantly worse survival compared with the patients with low or intermediate topo IIalpha expressing tumors. In conclusion, no relation was observed between expression of topoisomerase IIalpha, IIbeta, Ki-67, MRP or LRP and response rate. Furthermore, worse survival was seen in patients with high topoisomerase IIalpha expressing tumors. In one tumor sample, a newly described mutation in the B/DNBS region of the topo IIalpha gene was detected, which does not appear to be related to drug resistance.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
