Human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) showed increased responses to methotrexate and vincristine after a 48-hr pretreatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate. The effect of the hormone, which was detectable at concentrations of between 10 and IOOnM, was independent of its growth-inhibitory action. These
Primary resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is a major problem in the management of advanced cancer. By using oestrogen to modulate the topoisomerase II content of T-47D human breast cancer cells, we show here that cell subpopulations resistant to the topoisomerase-ll-interactive drug VP 16 (etopo
Attempts have been made to develop sublines of MCF-7 cells resistant to the growth-inhibitory actions of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), dexamethazone (DEX), antioestrogens or high-dose oestradiol (Ed by prolonged exposure to high hormone concentrations. While high degrees of resistance to MPA, D
