In a sensitive, human, small cell lung carcinoma cell line (GLC4) and a cisplatin (CP)-resistant subline (GLC4-CP), the effect of co-culturing with docosahexaenoic acid (DCHA) on CP cytotoxicity was studied. Cells were cultured for 4 days, with 32 microM of DCHA added on days 1 and 3. Incorporation of DCHA into the cellular phospholipids was demonstrated by fatty acid analysis. Supplementation with DCHA led to almost a threefold decrease of resistance in GLC4-CP and had no influence on CP cytotoxicity in GLC4. After culturing with DCHA, cellular platinum (Pt); total Pt bound to DNA; and Pt-GG, Pt-AG, G-Pt-G, and Pt-GMP adduct contents increased in both lines, whereas interstrand cross-link formation was elevated only in GLC4-CP. These experiments demonstrate that DCHA reduces CP resistance. Although an effect on cellular membranes resulting in an increased CP uptake apparently was present, this mechanism does not seem to be responsible for resistance modulation. Rather, an effect on nuclear, probably DNA-related, structures is likely and leads to an increased formation of interstrand cross-links in GLC4-CP.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D010984 Platinum A heavy, soft, whitish metal, resembling tin, with atomic number 78, atomic weight 195.084, symbol Pt. It is used in manufacturing equipment for laboratory and industrial use. It occurs as a black powder (platinum black) and as a spongy substance (spongy platinum) and may have been known in Pliny's time as "alutiae". Platinum Black

D002470 Cell Survival The span of viability of a cell characterized by the capacity to perform certain functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, some form of responsiveness, and adaptability. Cell Viability,Cell Viabilities,Survival, Cell,Viabilities, Cell,Viability, Cell
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.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004351 Drug Resistance Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration.
