Redox regulation of P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance in multicellular prostate tumor spheroids.

Abstract excerpt

Multicellular prostate tumor spheroids develop intrinsic P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-mediated multidrug resistance with the appearance of quiescent cell areas. We have investigated the effect of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) on Pgp expression in large, quiescent and drug-resistant multicellular spheroids (diameter 250 +/- 50microm). Using the ROS-sensitive fluorescence dye 2;7;-dichlorodihydrofluorescein...
