Taxane-selected ovarian cancer cell lines

ABSTRACT: Each of the six ovarian carcinoma cell lines was exposed to docetaxel or paclitaxel at IC50 levels (the concentration required to kill 50% of the population). After several passages at this initial concentration of taxanes, drug concentrations were escalated, and this process was repeated until variants displayed at least a 10-fold resistance to the selecting agents. mRNA and genomic DNA were isolated from the parental and resistant variants, and hybridized onto Stanford human cDNA microarrays containing about 42000 elements. We analyzed the gene expression profiles and copy number alterations, and identified a cluster of genes co-activated with MDR1 on chromosome arm 7q21. In six of these variants, regional activation was driven by gene copy number alterations, with low-level gains or hig
