For etoposide (VP-16), increased expression of MDR-1 or MRP and alterations in topoisomerase IIalpha have been shown to confer tolerance. To further understand resistance to VP-16, three sublines, designated MCF-7-VP17, ZR-75B-VP13, and MDA-MB-231-VP7, were initially isolated as single clones from parental cells by...
