The effect of modulation of protein kinase C (PKC) activity by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on cisplatin cytotoxicity was examined in a human osteosarcoma U2-OS cell line and in a U2-OS variant (U2-OS/Pt) selected after continuous exposure to increasing concentrations of cisplatin. U2-OS/Pt cells showed a 7.5-fold resistance to the drug. A 24 h exposure of cells to TPA caused a potentiation of cisplatin cytotoxicity in sensitive and in resistant cells; under these conditions, PKC activity was shown to be down-regulated. In contrast, a short-term exposure of cells to TPA did not affect cisplatin cytotoxicity in U2-OS or in U2-OS/Pt cells. These results support the involvement of PKC in cellular response to cisplatin. However, this enzyme is probably not directly implicated in the mechanisms of acquired resistance in this cell system.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

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.
