Correlations between natural resistance to doxorubicin, proliferative activity, and expression of P-glycoprotein 170 in human kidney tumor cell lines
Abstract
The natural resistance to doxorubicin of 15 human renal carcinoma cell lines was analyzed and compared to proliferative activity and expression of P-glycoprotein. We found a significant negative correlation between proliferative activity and natural resistance to doxorubicin, as well as between proliferative activity and the expression of P-glycoprotein. A positive correlation between resistance and expression of P-glycoprotein was found.
