Regulation of gap-junctional intercellular communication in transformation-sensitive and transformation-resistant BALB/c 3T3 cell variants.

abstract：:Previous studies have demonstrated that O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a major contributor to tumor cellular resistance toward chloroethylnitrosoureas. To further clarify the effect of MGMT gene expression on cellular chemosensitivity to 1-(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosou...
