The cells developing resistance to an applied drug may also present cross-resistance to other anticancer drugs which are not applied. In this study, the development of cross-resistance in paclitaxel (MCF-7/Pac), docetaxel (MCF-7/Doc), vincristine (MCF-7/Vinc) and doxorubicin (MCF-7/Dox) resistant MCF-7 cells to selective anticancer drugs, tamoxifen and all trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) were investigated. Combined antiproliferative effects of these drugs in different combinations were also evaluated by checkerboard combination assay. MCF-7/Pac and MCF-7/Doc cells developed cross-resistance to vincristine (13- and 12-folds, respectively) and tamoxifen (3- and 2-folds, respectively). MCF-7/Dox cells developed cross-resistance to paclitaxel (109-fold), docetaxel (10-fold), tamoxifen (2-fold) and ATRA (3-fold). MCF-7/Vinc cells developed cross-resistance to paclitaxel (48-fold), doxorubicin (6-fold) and tamoxifen (2-fold). Combinations of paclitaxel and docetaxel with doxorubicin exerted synergic anti proliferative effect. Tamoxifen had synergic effect with doxorubicin and vincristine. ATRA had indifferent effect with paclitaxel, docetaxel and doxorubicin where it had antagonistic effect with vincristine. The data presented here may provide an insight to assess response of breast tumors to anticancer drug combinations.

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...
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...
Differential gene expression analysis related to extracellular matrix components in drug-resistant RPMI-8226 cell line
Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk (Elsevier BV, 2012-4)
Drug resistance remains a major obstacle to the successful use of chemotherapeutic drugs for many types of cancers including multiple myeloma. It is becoming increasingly apparent that tumor microenvironment could provide a shelter to malignant plasma cells that allow their survival after initial drug exposure. This study demonstrates alterations in gene expression levels of several extracellular matrix (ECM) components in prednisone, vincristine and melphalan-resistant RPMI-8226 myeloma cells. Resistant RP...
Protein kinase D2 silencing reduced motility of doxorubicin-resistant MCF7 cells
Alpsoy, Aktan; Gündüz, Ufuk (2015-06-01)
Success of chemotherapy is generally impaired by multidrug resistance, intrinsic resistance, or acquired resistance to functionally and structurally irrelevant drugs. Multidrug resistance emerges via distinct mechanisms: increased drug export, decreased drug internalization, dysfunctional apoptotic machinery, increased DNA damage repair, altered cell cycle regulation, and increased drug detoxification. Several reports demonstrated that multidrug resistance is a multifaceted problem such that multidrug resis...
Synthesis and characterization of polypropylene based ion-exchange resin
Ecevit, Safiye Tuba; Aras, Leyla; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2012)
The synthesis of ion-exchange resin which can be used in various separation and chemical purposes, such as diffusion dialysis, electro dialysis, electrolysis and fuel cells has of considerable interest. For all these applications, the interactions of the ionic groups and the resulted morphologies are critical for establishing the unique properties. Considerable researches have been continued to understand the microstructure of these materials. The aim of this study is to synthesize polypropylene (PP) based ...
