Abstract excerpt
Reduced expression of topoisomerase II is one of the mechanisms observed in cell lines and clinical samples that are resistant to topoisomerase II-targeting agents. The Chinese hamster lung cell line DC-3F/9-OH-E made resistant to 9-OH ellipticine and cross-resistant to other topoisomerase II inhibitors has previously been shown to express lower level of topoisomerase IIalpha isoform, than the parental DC-3F cell...
