Hyperthermic potentiation of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) cytotoxicity in Chinese hamster ovary cells resistant to the drug. 1986

K E Wallner, and M W DeGregorio, and G C Li

The cytotoxic and pharmacological properties of hyperthermia and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (DDP) were studied in DDP-sensitive and DDP-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro. Cytotoxicity was measured by cell survival using colony formation assay and cellular platinum levels were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Hyperthermia potentiated DDP cytotoxicity in both DDP-sensitive and DDP-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells. Dose enhancement ratios increased from 1.4 to 6.5 over the temperature range of 39-43 degrees C. Cellular accumulation of platinum at 37 degrees C in the sensitive cells was 2.3- to 3.3-fold greater than that in the drug-resistant cells. Cellular accumulation of DDP was increased by factors of 1.5 and 2.2 at elevated temperature. DDP resistance did not confer cross-resistance to heat alone. The results suggest that hyperthermia could be used to circumvent DDP resistance.

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
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured 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.

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.
