| Popis: | The authors previously demonstrated the presence of cells in primary human malignant gliomas that intrinsically are resistant to carmustine (BCNU). Numerous studies have identified mechanisms of therapy resistance in these cells; however, the authors' work and that of others suggest that additional mechanisms of resistance exist.The authors identified a glioma cell line that lacks detectable methylguanine methyltransferase expression and does not alter its expression of glutathione-S-transferase-pi in response to BCNU chemotherapy. This cell line was used in mRNA differential display experiments to identify genes involved in what to the authors' knowledge were previously undescribed mechanisms of resistance.The overexpression of the gene encoding the transforming growth factor latency binding protein was demonstrated in glioma cells selected for resistance to BCNU, compared with their parental unselected cells.Transforming growth factor-beta1 has pleiotropic functions in transformed and normal cells. Although activation of TGF-beta1 does not appear to be a causative factor in BCNU resistance in the current study, it may be involved in the growth of these resistant cells. |
