摘要:
Glutathione levels and several glutathione-linked enzyme activities have been variably correlated with cisplatin chemosensitivity in cultured neoplastic cells. In order to determine the relative contribution of the glutathione-linked enzymes towards mediating inherent cisplatin resistance in cancer cells, we have measured the chemosensitivity to cisplatin, glutathione levels and activities of glutathione S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in 8 cultured human small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines with widely differing cisplatin sensitivities. Of these parameters, only glutathione S-transferase activity correlated with degree of cisplatin resistance in a linear fashion.
