Pentoxifylline influences drug transport activity of P-glycoprotein and decreases mdrl gene expression in multidrug resistant mouse leukemic L1210/VCR cells.

Abstract:

:The effects of pentoxifylline (PTX) on intracellular accumulation of doxorobicin (DOX), DOX cytotoxicity and expression of Pgp in multidrug resistant L1210/VCR cell line were investigated. PTX (100 mg/l) was able to enhance the DOX accumulation in resistant cells. The maximum intracellular levels of DOX were reached after treatment with PTX for 24 hours (total duration of PTX-treatment was 72 hours). The levels of mdrl mRNA (measured by RT-PCR method) were decreased 2-fold in the presence of 100 mg/l PTX (minimum reached within 48 hours) in comparison to control cells.
