Multidrug resistance in cancer may arise due to alterations in gene expression. In this study, sublines of drug-resistant multiple myeloma (MM) cells, namely RPMI-8226 and U-266, were examined for their differential oncogene-related gene expression levels and the relations to drug resistance were analyzed. Drug resistance was induced by application of the prednisone or vincristine using stepwise dose increments. XTT cytotoxicity assay was used for determination of resistance levels. Microarray analysis was carried out and the genes up- or downregulated more than two-folds were considered as significantly changed. Different types of oncogenes were altered in different drug-resistant RPMI-8226 and U-266 multiple myeloma sublines. The oncogenes which belong to Ras superfamily, especially Rho family of GTPases, were upregulated in prednisone-resistant MM cell lines whereas they were either downregulated or not changed in vincristine resistance. ETS and NF-kappa B2 are among transcription factors which were downregulated in prednisone-resistant cells. Transforming growth factor beta receptor (TGF beta) was downregulated in prednisone-resistant MM cell lines while it was upregulated in vincristine-resistant cell lines. Different types of interleukin gene expressions were seen to be altered in resistant MM sublines whereas suppressors of cytokine signalling genes such as SOCS2, SOCS4 and WSB2 were all downregulated. In conclusion, it is seen that different drugs can induce totally different pathways leading to resistance in the same cancer cell lines. Every drug resistance should be evaluated separately. These facts must be considered in cancer chemotherapy and reversal of drug resistance.

Effect of cobalt-60 (gamma radiation) on multidrug-resistant multiple myeloma cell lines Mutlu, Pelin; Ural, A. Ugur; Avcu, Ferit; Dirican, Bahar; Beyzadeoglu, Murat; Gündüz, Ufuk (2011-07-01) Emergence of resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy is a major obstacle for the successful treatment of MM (multiple myeloma). Prednisone, vincristine and melphalan are commonly used chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of MM. In the current study, we examined the presence of possible cross-resistance between these drugs and gamma (gamma) radiation. Prednisone, vincristine and melphalan resistant RPMI-8226 and U-266 MM cells were generated by stepwise increasing concentrations of the drugs. The se...
DETERMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DOXORUBICIN RESISTANCE AND WNT SIGNALING PATHWAY IN HELA AND K562 CELL LINES Mutlu, Pelin; Pourianazar, Negar Taghavi; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk (2018-01-01) Activation of the Wnt signaling in some types of cancer and its relation with chemotherapy resistance is a very interesting issue that has been emphasized in recent years. Although, it is known that increase in the activity of beta-catenin is important in blast transformation and drug resistance, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, changes in the expression levels of 186 genes that are thought to be important in drug resistance and Wnt signaling pathways were determined by using qPCR...
Reversal of multidrug resistance in mcf-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell line by silencing interleukin 6 with RNA interference Çakmak, Neşe; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2013) Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer is characterized by development of resistance to several unrelated drugs upon long time administration of a certain type of chemotherapeutic agent. In doxorubicin resistant MCF-7 cell line, resistance is developed mainly by upregulation of MDR1 gene which encodes an ABC transporter protein known as P-glycoprotein. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a cytokine which acts as a growth factor for certain cell types including some cancer cells. IL-6 is found at high levels in cancer pat...
Identification of gene mutations involved in drug resistance in liver cancer using RNA-SEQ data analysis Shojaei, Mona; Atalay, Rengül; Acar, Aybar Can; Department of Bioinformatics (2016) A significant concern in cancer research is the detection of cancer associated somatic mutations. Liver cancer is the 5th most common and 2nd deadliest cancer in the world. Several somatic mutations were previously reported in liver cancer but their relations to chemotherapeutic response was not studied in detail. In this study, the relationship between mutation status and drug treatment response of well-differentiated Huh7 and poorly-differentiated Mahlavu liver cancer cells were analyzed. The RNA-Seq data...
A microarray based expression profiling of paclitaxel and vincristine resistant MCF-7 cells DEMİREL KARS, MELTEM; Iseri, Ozlem Darcansoy; Gündüz, Ufuk (2011-04-25) Resistance to the broad spectrum of chemotherapeutic agents in cancer cell lines and tumors has been called multiple drug resistance (MDR). In this study, the molecular mechanisms of resistance to two anticancer agents (paclitaxel and vincristine) in mammary carcinoma cell line MCF-7 were investigated. Drug resistant sublines to paclitaxel (MCF-7/Pac) and vincristine (MCF-7/Vinc) that were developed from sensitive MCF-7 cells (MCF-7/S) were used. cDNA microarray analysis was performed for the RNA samples of...
