Antifolate Resistance in a HeLa Cell Line Associated With Impaired Transport Independent of the Reduced Folate Carrier
15 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Prior studies from this laboratory documented the prevalence of methotrexate (MTX) transport activity with a low pH optimum in human solid tumor cell lines. In HeLa cells, this low pH activity has high affinity for pemetrexed [PMX (Alimta)] and is reduced folate carrier (RFC)-independent because it is not diminished in a RFC-null subline (R5). R5 cells also have residual transport activity, with high specificity...
