Variants of Friend leukemia cells (FLC) selected for resistance to either adriamycin (ADM), daunorubicin (DNR) or aclacinomycin A (ACM) by step-wise exposure to each drug, were found to be cross-resistant to ADM and DNR but not to ACM. In addition, an epithelial cell line isolated from normal monkey kidney (CV-1) was found to be intrinsically resistant to ADM and DNR but not to ACM. In contrast, a human breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7) was found to be sensitive to all three compounds. In these latter cell lines as well as in the FLC variants, lowered intracellular amounts of ADM and DNR correlated with resistance, but ACM levels were the same in sensitive and resistant cells. When cells with either acquired or intrinsic resistance were treated with ACM in combination with ADM or DNR, significant increases in the intracellular amounts of these latter compounds were found. Increased drug accumulation in resistant cells treated this way was accompanied by increased cytotoxicity. When resistant cells were exposed to ACM in combination with other anthracyclines, similar results were obtained. In comparison, these phenomena were not observed when either one of the sensitive cell types (parental FLC and MCF-7) were treated similarly. Since ADM and DNR resistant cells are sensitive to ACM and their resistance circumvented by ACM, this drug may have important clinical applications when used in combination with other anthracyclines.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.
