title: [Drug resistance and its mechanism of intrinsic drug-resistant cell line GRC-1].
abstract: In order to probe the characteristics of drug resistance and its mechanisms of renal cell carcinoma, drug-resistant spectrum of renal cell carcinoma cell line GRC-1 was detected by in vitro MTT colorimetric assay, the mechanism of drug resistance in GRC-1 was also studied by the methods of both immunocytochemistry assay and flow fluorescence cytometry. The results demonstrated that GRC-1 was cross-resistant to adriamycin, vincrinstine, etoposide and carboplatinium, both mdr1 gene product P-glycoprotein and GST-pi which was an isozyme of glutathione S-transferases were expressed in GRC-1. The accumulation of net intracellular drugs of GRC-1 was less than that of drug sensitive breast cancer cell line MCF7, and the ability of pumping drugs out of cells was higher than that of MCF7. The results suggested that there is an intrinsic multidrug resistance in GRC-1 cell line, and both P-glycoprotein and glutathione systems play a role in the development of drug resistance for GRC-1. GRC-1 is an ideal target cell line for the study of drug resistance.
