Abstract

The mechanism by which mammalian cells acquire resistance to chemotherapeutic agents has been investigated by using molecular genetic techniques. LZ and C5, two independently derived multidrug-resistant Chinese hamster cell lines, share specific amplified DNA sequences. We demonstrate that commonly amplified DNA sequences reside in a contiguous domain of approximately equal to 120 kilobases (kb). We report the isolation of this DNA domain in cosmid clones and show that the level of amplification of the domain is correlated with the level of resistance in multidrug-resistant cell lines. The organization of the amplified domain was deduced by a unique approach utilizing in-gel hybridization of cloned DNA with amplified genomic DNA. We show that the entire cloned region is amplified in adriamycin-resistant LZ cells and independently derived, colchicine-resistant C5 cells. A mRNA species of approximately equal to 5 kb is encoded by a gene located within the boundaries of this region. Genomic sequences homologous to the 5-kb mRNA span over 75 kb of the amplified DNA segment. The level of expression of this mRNA in multidrug-resistant cells is correlated with the degree of gene amplification and the degree of drug resistance. Our results strongly suggest that the 5-kb mRNA species plays a role in the mechanism of multidrug resistance common to the LZ and C5 cell lines.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
