Metallothionein gene expression and resistance to cisplatin in human ovarian cancer
15 Mar 1990
Abstract excerpt
Intracellular thiols have been proposed as mediators of resistance to alkylating agents and cisplatin. As metallothionein is the predominant protein thiol, we examined its relationship to cisplatin resistance in human ovarian cancer cell lines. A human ovarian carcinoma cell line, A2780, derived from an untreated patient, was treated with cisplatin in several ways and the induced resistance to cisplatin ranged...
