Stable mutant cells Cebr-1 and Cebr-2, resistant to ethidium bromide (EB) in concentration of 2 micrograms/ml, have been isolated by a multistep selection in Chinese hamster ovary cells. It was shown that Cebr-1 and Cebr-2 cells acquired a cross-resistance to unrelated drugs. Stable changes in the structure of chromosomes 1, 2, 5 and 8 were revealed by karyological analysis. Overexpression and amplification of mdr genes were detected in Cebr-2 cells using Northern RNA and Southern DNA blot hybridization. Two independent hybrids Hybr-1 and Hybr-2 were obtained by fusion of Cebr-2 cells with Chinese hamster lung V-79 RJK cells, sensitive to EB. Hybr-2 cells were characterized by the same level of EB-resistance as Cebr-2 cells. Hybr-1 cells have a lower level of EB-resistance than Cebr-2 cells. Hybr-2 cells have demonstrated amplification and overexpression of mdr gene, the same as in Cebr-2 cells, whereas in Hybr-1 cells no mdr gene amplification was observed, but the level of mdr gene expression was higher than in sensitive cells. The data suggest that resistance of Chinese hamster cells to EB is mediated by amplification and overexpression of mdr genes.

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. Resistance, Drug
D004996 Ethidium A trypanocidal agent and possible antiviral agent that is widely used in experimental cell biology and biochemistry. Ethidium has several experimentally useful properties including binding to nucleic acids, noncompetitive inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, and fluorescence among others. It is most commonly used as the bromide. Ethidium Bromide,Homidium Bromide,Novidium,Bromide, Ethidium,Bromide, Homidium

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. Amplification, Gene
D005810 Multigene Family A set of genes descended by duplication and variation from some ancestral gene. Such genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome or dispersed on different chromosomes. Examples of multigene families include those that encode the hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, histocompatibility antigens, actins, tubulins, keratins, collagens, heat shock proteins, salivary glue proteins, chorion proteins, cuticle proteins, yolk proteins, and phaseolins, as well as histones, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA genes. The latter three are examples of reiterated genes, where hundreds of identical genes are present in a tandem array.
