title: [Detection of drug resistant-genes in cisplatin-resistant colon carcinoma cells by RT-PCR assay. II].
abstract: The c-fos, c-Ha-ras and c-myc oncogenes have been proposed to play an important role in DNA synthesis. Expression of c-fos, c-Ha-ras and c-myc genes were compared with the human colon carcinoma cell line HCT8S cells and a subline that was 4.5 resistant to cis-diamminedichloro-platinum (cisplatin). Resistant cells (HCT8DDP) exhibited a 4.0, 2.8 and 1.1 fold in mRNA for these genes when compared with the parent cells by Northern blotting analysis, respectively. The reverse transcription (RT)-PCR method has been demonstrated to quantify a sequence of these oncogenes. This method allowed the detection of gene expression from minimal cells. Thus RT-PCR assay could be an effective device in th early detection of oncogenes to cisplatin-resistance.
