Notizen:
Rat hepatoma cells lacking mitochondrial DNA (ρ° cells) were used as a model system to examine the possible roles of mitochondrial DNA as a target for the DNA-acting anticancer drug Adriamycin (doxorubicin). The ρ° cells were 45-fold less sensitive to Adriamycin than the parental ρ+ cells containing mitochondrial DNA. Other non-DNA-acting drugs also exhibited similar behaviour, and this was shown to be due to a multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype in the ρ° cells. This was indicated by confocal microscopy where ρ+ cells exhibited thirteenfold higher cellular levels of Adriamycin than ρ° cells. Upregulation (tenfold) of P-glycoprotein in ρ° cells was also confirmed by Northern dot blot analysis. Since the MDR phenotype is present in ρ° cells and upregulation of P-glycoprotein is maintained in these cells, ρ° cells are not a good model system for drug-DNA studies (where the drug is susceptible to extrusion by P-glycoprotein), and any such results obtained with this system must be treated with considerable caution.
