Involvement ofMDR1 P-glycoprotein in multifactorial resistance to methotrexate
1 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
Cellular resistance to methotrexate (MTX) is believed to be unaffected by expression of MDR1 P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a pleiotropic efflux pump acting on different hydrophobic compounds that enter cells by passive diffusion. A series of human leukemic CCRF-CEM sublines, isolated by multi-step selection for very high resistance to MTX, exhibit multiple mechanisms of MTX resistance, including decreased...
