Abstract:
:The purpose of the study was to determine whether the organ environment can influence the response of colon cancer cells to chemotherapy. The highly metastatic human colon cancer cell line KM12L4, previously selected for production of liver metastases in nude mice, was injected into the cecal wall and into the spleen to produce liver metastases, and into the subcutis of nude mice. Doxorubicin (DOX) at 10 mg/kg or saline (control) was injected intravenously on days 7 and 16 after tumor cell injection. The in vivo response of tumors growing in the cecum, liver, and subcutaneous (s.c.) sites as well as the DOX sensitivity of cell lines established from liver and s.c. tumors were compared. Colon cancers growing s.c. were more sensitive to DOX than tumors growing in the cecal wall or liver of nude mice. The difference in response to DOX between s.c. tumors (sensitive) and liver tumors (resistant) was not due to selection of cell populations with different sensitivity to DOX, or differences in DOX distribution. PKC activity was lower in tumors of the liver and the cecum than in s.c. tumors. The expression of P-glycoprotein as determined by flow cytometric analysis of tumor cells harvested from lesions in different organs correlated inversely with their sensitivity to DOX. Increased levels of P-glycoprotein correlated with mdr-1, mdr-3 mRNA expression as determined by Northern analysis. Collectively, the data show that the organ environment influences the response of human colon carcinoma cells to DOX and recommend that animal models of this disease for experimental therapeutic studies employ orthotopic implantation of tumor cells.
