The development of resistance to cisplatin (CDDP) occurs both in vitro and in vivo. We cultured K562 cells with continuous exposure to gradually increasing doses of CDDP and produced CDDP resistant K562 sublines. CDDP-resistant sublines were found to be cross-sensitive to Mit-C and cross-resistant to DXR and cyclophosphamide. These sublines were tested for their susceptibility to NK-mediated lysis using NK cells isolated from 10 healthy donors and 12 patients with breast cancer. K562/B6 and K562/C9 CDDP-resistant sublines were more resistant (22 +/- 5% and 19 +/- 3% lysis, respectively for Ca patients, and 34 +/- 6 and 31 +/- 5% for healthy donors) than the maternal K562 cells (36 +/- 3% for Ca patients and 55 +/- 5% for healthy individuals). The correlation of cisplatin resistance, with a diminished susceptibility by NK lysis, should permit the selection of patients suitable for cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

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.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.
