Reduced Activity of Anabolizing Enzymes in 5‐Fluorouracil‐resistant Human Stomach Cancer Cells
1 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of resistance to 5-fluorourcil (5-FU) was studied with NUGC-3/5FU/L, a human stomach cancer cell line which had acquired resistance as a consequence of repeated 5-day exposures to stepwise-increasing concentrations of 5-FU in vitro. NUGC-3/5FU/L was 200-fold and over 16-fold resistant to 96-h and 1-h exposures to 5-FU, respectively. NUGC-3/5FU/L incorporated less 5-FU into RNA, indicating resistance...
