Abstract excerpt
The rate of adenosine uptake and the corresponding expression of nucleoside transporters were studied in several MCF-7 human breast-cancer cell lines that express different levels of multidrug resistance (MDR). Kinetic studies of adenosine transport in these cell lines revealed that the mean apparent Km and Vmax values for the nucleoside transporters increased with increasing MDR. The apparent Km and the apparent...
