Reduction in drug-induced DNA double-strand breaks associated with β1 integrin–mediated adhesion correlates with drug resistance in U937 cells
15 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that adhesion of myeloma cells to fibronectin (FN) by means of beta1 integrins causes resistance to certain cytotoxic drugs. The study described here found that adhesion of U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cells to FN provides a survival advantage with respect to damage induced by the topoisomerase (topo) II inhibitors mitoxantrone, doxorubicin, and etoposide. Apoptosis induced by a topo II...
