5'-Nucleotidase activity and arachidonate metabolism in doxorubicin sensitive and resistant P388 cells. 1984

A Ramu, and D Glaubiger, and P Soprey, and G H Reaman, and N Feuerstein

5'-nucleotidase activity, arachidonate metabolism and adenosine uptake were measured in P388 murine leukaemia cells and in a subline resistant to doxorubicin. These membranes related activities were found to be increased in the doxorubicin resistant cell line, compared to the drug sensitive cells. It is suggested that these differences do not play a role in the mechanism of resistance to doxorubicin. Rather they reflect alterations in plasma membrane composition and structure between these cell lines. This study also suggests that the use of decreased 5'-nucleotidase activity as a marker of certain leukaemias should be reviewed with caution. An increase in cell enzyme activity in treated patients may not necessarily indicate a shift toward normal behaviour of these cells, but rather a selection of certain cell subpopulations.

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
D000241 Adenosine A nucleoside that is composed of ADENINE and D-RIBOSE. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter. Adenocard,Adenoscan
