The resistance of tumor cells to structurally and functionally unrelated drugs is named as multidrug resistance (MDR) [1]. Tumors consist of cells with different genetic make-ups. Due to the tumor heterogeneity, some of the cells in a tumor could be drug-sensitive whereas the others could be intrinsicly resistant or acquire resistance during the course of chemotherapy. This heterogenous nature of tumors could cause the failure in chemotherapy. The aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of drug-resistant MCF7 sublines on drug-sensitive MCF7 cells.

Investigation of docetaxel and doxorubicin resistance in mcf-7 breast carcinoma cell line
Darcansoy İşeri, Özlem; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2009)
Multidrug resistance phenotype of tumor cells describes resistance to wide range of structurally unrelated anticancer agents and is a serious limitation to effective chemotherapy. It is a multifactor yet not fully elucidated phenomenon by the involvement of diverse cellular pathways. Aim of this study was to investigate the resistance mechanisms developed against docetaxel and doxorubicin that are widely used in the treatment of breast cancer in model cell line MCF-7. Resistant sublines were developed by ap...
Molecular mechanisms of vincristine and paclitaxel resistance in mcf-7 cell line
Demirel Kars, Meltem; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2008)
Resistance to 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. MCF-7 cells were selected in the presence of paclitaxel and vincristine by stepwise dose increments. The cell viability and growth profiles of resistant sublines were examined. As the resistance indices increased...
Investigation of the role of programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10) protein in multidrug resistance
Urfalı Mamatoğlu, Çağrı; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2018)
Drug resistance, a major obstacle in chemotherapy, is the sum of several cellular alterations including resistance to induction of apoptosis. Apoptosis is a well-regulated cell death mechanism which is controlled by several signaling pathways and a vast number of proteins. Alterations in the proteins involved in the apoptotic regulation have been associated with drug resistance in cancer. Programmed Cell Death 10 (PDCD10) protein is a novel apoptotic regulator that is recently linked to the modulation of ce...
Reversal of paclitaxel resistance in MCF-7 cell line by achemical modulator elacridar
Şener, Emine Çiğdem; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2012)
The phenomenon called multi drug resistance (MDR) is the resistance of cancer cells to anticancer drugs before or during chemotherapy. One of the mechanisms causing MDR is the upregulation of efflux pumps. The overexpression of MDR1 and MRP1 results in increased efflux of anticancer agents. The aim of this study was to reverse MDR1-mediated paclitaxel resistance in MCF7 breast cancer cell line by a chemical MDR modulator elacridar. In this study, cytotoxicity and the reversal effect of elacridar on sensitiv...
The Effect of 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) on angiogenesis in colorectal and prostate cancer
Çolakoğlu, Melis; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2017)
15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is one of the lipoxygenases (LOX) that are important for the generation of inflammatory bioactive lipids, which then result in the initiation and resolution of inflammation. The enzyme mainly metabolizes the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid, to 13-(S)-HODE. In colorectal carcinoma, the tumor suppressive role of 15-LOX-1 is highlighted with decreased proliferation, induction of apoptosis, reduced motility and invasion. Oppositely, the expression of 15-LOX-1 was reported to have ...
