By continuous exposure of CG5 human breast cancer cell line to increasing doxorubicin (Dx) concentrations, a multidrug-resistant (MDR) subline (CG5/Dx) was obtained. The resistant variant showed P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression and a lower intracellular doxorubicin level than the parental cells. CG5/Dx cells were 19.4 fold more resistant to Dx than CG5 cells and showed a cross-resistance to some structurally related and unrelated compounds. Differences in kinetics, biological and ultrastructural features between the two cell lines were investigated. The CG5/Dx cells grew more slowly, produced higher CEA levels and showed a reduced progesterone receptor (PgR) content than the parental cells. Ultrastructural studies revealed differences involving, polyribosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum, [mitochondria] and cytoskeleton.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D011132 Polyribosomes A multiribosomal structure representing a linear array of RIBOSOMES held together by messenger RNA; (RNA, MESSENGER); They represent the active complexes in cellular protein synthesis and are able to incorporate amino acids into polypeptides both in vivo and in vitro.
