Abstract excerpt
Previously we demonstrated that multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer cells have elevated levels of a glycosylated form of ceramide, glucosylceramide. Here we compared ceramide metabolism and ceramide toxicity in MCF-7 and in adriamycin-resistant (MCF-7-AdrR) human breast cancer cells. MCF-7-AdrR cells were resistant to C6-ceramide (1-10 microM); however, in MCF-7 cells treated with C6-ceramide, viability dropped...
