## Small -cell-lung-cancer (SCLC) is characterized by rapid development of resistance to cytotoxic agents, such as cisplatin (cDDP) and anthracyclines. c-myc over-expression is one of the reported genetic alterations in this tumor. Amplification of the c-myc gene in this and other cancers is often

## Abstract A doxorubicin‐resistant variant of the human small‐cell lung‐cancer cell line N592 was selected by __in vitro__ continuous exposure to increasing drug concentrations. The aim of this study was to examine the cross‐resistance pattern, cellular pharmacokinetics of doxorubicin and expressi
The cisplatin(CDDP)-resistant cell line GLC,-CDDP shows a variety of differences from the parent line GLC,. The aim of this study was to determine which of the observed changes correlated with the degree of resistance and was therefore relevant to the phenomenon of CDDP resistance. For these experim
## Abstract Studies were performed to determine whether novobiocin can be used to enhance cisplatin (CDDP) cytotoxicity in a human small‐cell lung carcinoma cell line, GLC~4~/CDDP, resistant to CDDP. Continuous incubation with novobiocin enhanced the cytotoxicity of CDDP treatment 1.9‐fold in the p
## 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
To study the problem of acquired resistance to widely used anti-cancer drugs that target the 170 kDa topoisomerase IIalpha (topo IIalpha), a drug-resistant human small-cell lung cancer cell line, H209/VP, was selected in VP-16. H209/VP cells express reduced levels of the 170 kDa topo IIalpha that is
