Abstract Title:
Modulation of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activity enhances doxorubicin-induced apoptosis, tumor cell killing, and hydroxyl radical production in human NCI/ADR-RES cancer cells despite high-level P-glycoprotein expression.
Abstract:
To define the role of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in modulating the oxygen radical-related cytotoxicity of doxorubicin and HOin cells that overexpress P-glycoprotein (Pgp), the GPx activity of NCI/ADR-RES cancer cells was altered by growth in 0.5% serum with (MR-30 subline) or without (MR-0 subline) selenium supplementation. GPx activity increased from 2.2 nmol/min/mg (MR-0) to 22.5 nmol/min/mg (MR-30) when cells were grown in 30-nM selenium,
