In contrast to intrinsic drug resistance, induced multidrug resistance in gastric cancer cells has not been well studied. Therefore, two doxorubicin-resistant cell lines, (SNU-1DOX, SNU-16DOX), were derived in vitro from gastric carcinoma cell lines (SNU-1, SNU-16) respectively, and their characteristics were investigated. These resistances were not associated with overexpression of mdrl, multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1), pi or liver class of glutathione S transferase (GST pi, GSTL), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), p53 or transglutaminase C (TGC). Levels of p21WAF1 RNA and topoisomerase II protein were decreased in the SNU-16DOX, but not in SNU-1DOX. However, the subsequent enzyme activity of topoisomerase II in SNU-16DOX was not decreased, but rather increased in SNU-16DOX. Furthermore, both resistant cell lines showed lower uptake and higher efflux of doxorubicin and induced cross-resistance to etoposide and vincristine in addition to doxorubicin, indicating a multi-drug resistance phenotype. In summary, we report two gastric carcinoma cell lines exhibiting induced multidrug resistance phenotype and suggest that mdrl, MRP1, GST, TGC, HSP70 and p53 do not play important roles in induced drug resistance in these cell lines. The role of changes in topoisomerase II activity and/or protein is still inconclusive, and p21WAF1 is associated with induced multidrug resistance in the SNU-16DOX gastric carcinoma cell line.
