Amplification and expression of the mdr1 gene encoding P-glycoprotein have been studied in H69/LX4 a multidrug resistant variant (MDR) of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line NCI-H69. Recently a second independently derived MDR variant of this cell line designated H69/AR was found by others not to show amplification, rearrangement or over-expression of the mdr1 gene. The present study reports that in marked contrast to H69/AR, H69/LX4 shows amplification and expression of the P-glycoprotein gene and raises the possibility that P-glycoprotein hyperexpression may be a clinically relevant component of MDR in some SCLC tumours.

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. Resistance, Drug
D005784 Gene Amplification A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication.

D020168 ATP Binding Cassette Transporter, Subfamily B, Member 1 A 170-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein from the superfamily of ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS. It serves as an ATP-dependent efflux pump for a variety of chemicals, including many ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS. Overexpression of this glycoprotein is associated with multidrug resistance (see DRUG RESISTANCE, MULTIPLE).
