A human small cell lung carcinoma cell line (GLC4) and its subline with in vitro acquired cisplatin (cDDP) resistance (GLC4-cDDP) were used to study the applicability of hyperthermia to interfere with acquired cDDP resistance. GLC4 and GLC4-cDDP did not differ in heat sensitivity (clonogenic ability). Both cell lines could be sensitized to cisplatin to a considerable extent, both at 42 and 43 degrees C. For 42 degrees C hyperthermia treatments up to 90 min no differences in TER between the cell lines were observed. Only prolonged (> or = 45 min) exposures to 43 degrees C hyperthermia sensitized the resistant cell line to a greater extent than the parent cell line, resulting in a reduction of the resistance factor from 3.6 (at 37 degrees C) to 1.7 (60 min 43 degrees C). The finding in this human system that for treatments up to 90 min, 43 degrees C heat is more suitable than 42 degrees C heat to reduce cDDP resistance, is in accordance with earlier findings with murine cells (Konings et al. 1993). Effects of heat, cisplatin and combined treatments on cell killing were not only measured with the clonogenic assay, but also with the microculture tetrazolium method (MTT assay), an assay of potential use in the clinic for rapid screening of cells obtained from patients. The data with the latter assay were comparable to those obtained with the clonogenic assay. However, its applicability to measure thermo-chemosensitization is limited due to its inability to measure more than one log of cell killing.

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.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

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.
