Megjegyzések:	Multidrug resistance of cancer cells can be intrinsic or acquired and occurs due to various reasons, including increased repair of genotoxic damage, an enhanced ability to remove/detoxify chemical agents, or reactive oxygen species (ROS), and repression of apoptosis. Human A2780/100 ovarian carcinoma cells exhibit resistance to DNA cross-linking agents, chlorambucil (Cbl), cisplatin (Cpl), melphalan (Mel), and ionizing radiation (IR) compared to the parental cell line, A2780. In the present study, we show that when A2780/100 and A2780 cells were treated with Cbl, GSH was extruded via methionine or cystathionine-inhibitable transporters of intact plasma membrane. GSH loss was followed by a rapid increase in ROS levels. The resistant, but not drug-sensitive cells normalized the intracellular GSH concentration along with ROS levels within 4-6 h after Cbl addition, and survived drug treatment. Normalization of GSH and ROS levels in A2780/100 cells correlated well with elevated gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS) activity (10 +/- 1.8-fold over A2780 cells). Ectopic overexpression of the gamma-GCS heavy subunit in drug-sensitive cells nearly restored GSH and ROS to pre-treatment levels consequently increased cellular resistance to genotoxic agents (Cbl, Cpl, and IR), while overexpression of gamma-GCS light subunit had no such effects. Thus, in our model system, drug-resistant cells have the inherent ability to maintain increased gamma-GCS activity, reestablish physiological GSH, and cellular redox state and maintain increased cellular resistance to DNA cross-linking agents and IR.
