The survival of bone-marrow granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM), an alkylating-agent-sensitive normal tissue, was assessed in mice bearing the EMT-6 parental tumor or the in vivo resistant EMT-6/CDDP, EMT-6/CTX, EMT-6/Thio, and EMT-6/Carbo tumors. The survival pattern of the bone-marrow CFU-GM recapitulated the survival of the tumor cells, mimicking the development of resistance and reversion to sensitivity upon removal of the selection pressure for each of the four alkylating agents. When the EMT-6 parental tumor was implanted in the opposite hind limb of animals bearing the EMT-6/CDDP or EMT-6/CTX tumor, the survival of the parental tumor cells after treatment of the animals with the appropriate antitumor alkylating agent was enhanced. The EMT-6/CDDP tumor was cross-resistant to CTX and high-dose L-PAM, whereas the EMT-6/CTX tumor was somewhat resistant to CDDP and markedly sensitive to VP-16. In each case, the survival pattern of the bone-marrow CFU-GM reflected the survival of the tumor cells. These results indicate that the presence of an alkylating-agent-resistant tumor in an animal can affect the drug response of tissues distal to that tumor.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

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.
