Abstrakt: Cisplatin resistance was developed in the human melanoma cell line RPMI8322 by repeated short-term exposures to cisplatin. The most resistant daughter cell line, RPMI8322/CDDP-300, was 4-fold resistant to cisplatin, and partially cross-resistant to carboplatin, melphalan and UV, but not to BCNU. RPMI8322/CDDP-300 cells showed less apoptosis after cisplatin than the parental cells. The cisplatin resistance was not paralleled by a similar reduction in cellular cisplatin accumulation or DNA cross-links in RPMI8322/CDDP-300 cells, and these cells exhibited no increase in cellular glutathione or in mRNA encoding the DNA excision repair protein ERCC1 and XPB. Induction of c-jun mRNA by cisplatin was considerably lower in RPMI8322/CDDP-300 cells than in RPMI8322 cells, consistent with the possibility that c-jun induction may be involved in a pathway that triggers apoptosis after exposure to DNA damaging agents. However, c-jun induction is not necessary for apoptosis, since cisplatin also induced apoptosis in A14 rat embryo fibroblasts, cells in which the c-jun gene is deleted.
