Vincristine (Vcr) dose dependently inhibited growth of the kidney adenocarcinoma cell line ACHN during 4 days of culture. Verapamil (Ver) at 10 microM and cyclosporin A (CsA) at 1 microgram/ml had no effect on cell growth but significantly potentiated the action of Vcr, despite the absence of the multidrug resistance associated membrane P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Neither Ver nor CsA had any acute or long term effects on cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration (Ca2+i), except for a small Ver induced increase after 36 h of incubation. The results indicate that Ver and CsA may have a sensitizing effect on chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity also in absence of P-gp. However, these effects are probably not mediated by changes in Ca2+i.
在4天的培养过程中,长春新碱(Vcr)对肾腺癌细胞系ACHN的生长具有剂量依赖性抑制作用。10微摩尔的维拉帕米(Ver)和1微克/毫升的环孢素A(CsA)对细胞生长无影响,但能显著增强Vcr的作用,尽管不存在与多药耐药相关的膜P-糖蛋白(P-gp)。Ver和CsA对细胞质游离钙浓度(Ca2+i)均无急性或长期影响,仅在孵育36小时后,Ver引起了小幅升高。结果表明,在不存在P-gp的情况下,Ver和CsA对化疗药物敏感性可能具有致敏作用。然而,这些作用可能并非由Ca2+i的变化介导。
