Reversal of multidrug resistance by synthetic and natural compounds in drug-resistant MCF-7 cell lines Kars, Meltem Demirel; Iseri, Ozlem Darcansoy; Gündüz, Ufuk; Molnar, Jozsef (2008-01-01) Background: Ineffectiveness of anticancer drugs is frequently observed in cancer chemotherapy. The resistance of tumor cells to various cytotoxic drugs is defined as multidrug resistance (MDR). The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential reversal effect of some synthetic and natural chemicals on drug-resistant MCF-7 cell lines. The effects of potential MDR modulators combined with some anticancer drugs were also studied. Methods: Flow cytometry, MTT cytotoxicity assays and checkerboard combina...
Reversal of multidrug resistance by small interfering RNA (siRNA) in doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells Donmez, Yaprak; Gündüz, Ufuk (2011-03-01) Purpose: Resistance to anticancer drugs is a serious obstacle to cancer chemotherapy. A common form of multidrug resistance (MDR) is caused by the overexpression of transmembrane transporter proteins P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP1), encoded by MDR1 and MRP1 genes, respectively. These proteins lead to reduced intracellular drug concentration and decreased cytotoxicity by means of their ability to pump the drugs out of the cells. Breast cancer tumor resistance is mai...
Reversal of multidrug resistance in mcf-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell line by silencing interleukin 6 with RNA interference Çakmak, Neşe; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2013) Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer is characterized by development of resistance to several unrelated drugs upon long time administration of a certain type of chemotherapeutic agent. In doxorubicin resistant MCF-7 cell line, resistance is developed mainly by upregulation of MDR1 gene which encodes an ABC transporter protein known as P-glycoprotein. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a cytokine which acts as a growth factor for certain cell types including some cancer cells. IL-6 is found at high levels in cancer pat...
Reversal of paclitaxel resistance in MCF-7 cell line by achemical modulator elacridar Şener, Emine Çiğdem; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2012) The phenomenon called multi drug resistance (MDR) is the resistance of cancer cells to anticancer drugs before or during chemotherapy. One of the mechanisms causing MDR is the upregulation of efflux pumps. The overexpression of MDR1 and MRP1 results in increased efflux of anticancer agents. The aim of this study was to reverse MDR1-mediated paclitaxel resistance in MCF7 breast cancer cell line by a chemical MDR modulator elacridar. In this study, cytotoxicity and the reversal effect of elacridar on sensitiv...
Reversal of breast cancer resistance protein mediated multidrug resistance in MCF7 breast adenocarcinoma cell line Urfalı, Çağrı; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2011) Resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents is a major problem in success of cancer chemotherapy. One of the primary reasons of development of multidrug resistance (MDR) is the overexpression of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) belongs to ABC transporter family and encoded by ABCG2 gene. BCRP is mainly expressed in MDR1 (P-glycoprotein) lacking breast cancer cells. Overexpression of BCRP leads to efflux of chemotherapeutic agents at higher rates, the...
