Abstract: | Resistance of Djungarian hamster cells to colchicine and adriablastin is connected with gene amplification and decreased plasma membrane permeability for cytostatic drugs. Overproduction of protein (mol. weight about 22 Kd and pI about 5.7) was identified in colchicine- and adriablastin-resistant cell lines by means of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Obviously, the amplification of this protein genes leads to the changes in plasma membrane permeability and to the development of drug resistance. |
