Abstract excerpt
The sensitivity of the human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) gene to mutagenesis by the cancer chemotherapeutic drugs adriamycin, bleomycin, and chlorambucil was evaluated using glucocorticoid-sensitive (dexs) subclones of the human leukemic cell line CEM-C7. Treatment of cells with either bleomycin or chlorambucil increased the frequency of glucocorticoid-resistant (dexr) clones 3.3- and 10-fold, respectively....
