Cellular resistance to etoposide has been correlated both with reduced levels and an aberrant cytoplasmic accumulation of the drug's target, topoisomerase II␣ (topo II␣). It is not known, however, whether a cytoplasmic pool of topo II␣ is sufficient to confer drug resistance on cultured mammalian ce

Topoisomerase II (TopoII) is a Mg-dependent enzyme involved in topological modifications of DNA that are crucial to the regulation of cell proliferation and possibly differentiation. To investigate the role of Mg availability in the modulation of TopoII in whole cells, we studied enzyme activity and
The p53 null HL-60 cell line was transfected with plasmids coding for either the wild-type p53 or mutant p53 gene. The stable expression of wild-type p53 resulted in a significant increase in sensitivity to the topoisomerase II poisons etoposide and doxorubicin, but not to the topoisomerase II inhib
## Abstract Etoposide (VP‐16) resistance is expressed following __in vitro__ exposure of HN‐1 and MCF‐7 human tumor cells to the drug itself or to fractionated × irradiation. VP‐16‐selected sublines prove cross‐resistant to Adriamycin, amsacrine and actinomycin D, whilst X‐ray‐pretreated sublines s
