    Notes: Abstract Bryostatin 1 is a novel anti-tumor agent currently undergoing clinical trial. We investigated the effect of this drug on B-lymphocyte cell lines that carry the Epstein-Barr virus and found that it induces these latently infected cells into the production of transforming virus particles over a wide range of concentrations. These results may have clinical implications, particularly with regard to the use of the drug in the immunocompromised patient.

    Notes: Summary Cells resistant to methotrexate (L1210/R7A) and possessing an increased level of dihydrofolate reductase due to gene amplification can be detected by the technique of flow cytofluorimetry using a new fluorescent derivative of methotrexate (F-MTX) based on a putrescine linker. Comparative studies of dihydrofolate reductase enzyme and cell growth inhibition following treatment with methotrexate and F-MTX suggest that the two agents possess similar modes of action. In an artificially mixed population of cells sensitive and resistant to methotrexate it is possible, using F-MTX, to recognise and separate distinct cell subpopulations showing differential fluorescence using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS IV). The selective removal of the resistant cells within a mixed population of sensitive and resistant cells has been demonstrated for 5×10-8 M vinblastine by means of flow cytometry. The effectiveness of the vinca alkaloids decreases in the order vinblastine〉vindesine〉vincristine, which previously was shown to be the order of effectiveness in producing collateral sensitivity.

    Notes: Summary A Yoshida sarcoma cell line (YR/cyclo) showing decreased sensitivity to metabolically activated cyclophosphamide in vitro has been shown to be cross-resistant to phosphoramide mustard, the ultimate alkylating agent formed from cyclophosphamide. Resistance to these alkylating agents has been shown to be associated with increased activity of the glutathione S-transferase group of enzymes, and with elevated levels of glutathione, the cosubstrate of the enzyme. The resistant cell line shows lower levels of cellular damage, as measured by alkaline elution following treatment with phosphoramide mustard, than the parental (Ys) line. The mechanism of resistance is ascribed to increased deactivation of potentially damaging metabolites of cyclophosphamide by the glutathione S-transferase enzymes, resulting in decreased cellular damage in the resistant cell line.

    Notes: Summary The intracellular accumulation of daunorubicin as determined by flow cytometry correlates well with that as determined by extraction of the drug from cell homogenates. Two P388 mouse leukaemia cell lines showing differential sensitivity to the drug have been used to investigate the transport changes associated with resistance. Resistance to daunorubicin in these call lines occurs through an alteration in the intracellular accumulation of the drug, resulting from the increased efflux of the anthracycline from the resistant cells. The effect of temperature, drug concentration, pH, and metabolic inhibitors on this process have been investigated. Uptake by a carrier-mediated process of the un-ionised form of the drug (pK=8.25), coupled with an energy-dependent efflux process, is proposed as the mechanism of cellular accumulation in the case of the resistant cell line.

    Notes: Summary L1210 mouse leukaemia cell lines showing a 20,000-fold differential sensitivity to methotrexate have been shown to exhibit some collateral sensitivity to at least two of the vinca alkaloids, vinblastine and vindesine. Vinblastine is the more cytotoxic for both cell lines. The extent of the collateral sensitivity decreases in the order vindesine〉vinblastine 〉vincristine. Total cellular uptake studies with radiolabelled methotrexate showed only a two- to three-fold greater incorporation in the sensitive line. On the other hand, a two-fold greater incorporation of labelled vincristine occurred in the resistant line. No significant difference in the uptake occurred following labelled vinblastine treatment by the two cell lines. It is unlikely that differences in uptake account for the altered drug responses observed in the two cell lines.

    Notes: Summary Two L1210 murine lymphoma cell lines sensitive and resistant to methotrexate (L1210 and L1210/R7A, respectively) and previously shown to exhibit collateral sensitivity to the vinca alkaloids have been studied by flow cytofluorimetric techniques following propidium iodide staining of the DNA. Following treatment with a range of concentrations of vincristine, both cell lines showed a build-up of fluorescence in the 4n position. However, the methotrexate-resistant cell line exhibited this effect at lower doses of vincristine. On an equimolar basis, the vinca alkaloids ranked for intensity of this effect in the order vinblastine〉vindesine〉vincristine. DNA fluorescent histograms following various times of continuous exposure to vincristine showed an accumulation of material at the 8n position, which was shown by chromosome analysis to be due to polyploidy. It was concluded that the methotrexate-resistant cells (L1210/R7A) experience difficulty in traversing mitosis and this difficulty is enhanced by the vinca alkaloids.

    Notes: Abstract . There are major potential advantages in non-invasive measurement of preclinical tumour biology and therapeutic response in clinically relevant, internal body sites, notably the ability to follow outcome in individual animals rather than averaging results from groups. We have exploited positron emission tomography (PET) to determine the feasibility of detecting liver metastases in B6D2F1 mice using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) both before and after treatment by the novel cytotoxic agent, combretastatin A-4. The normal distribution of [18F]FDG in the absence of disease was characterised, with the clear delineation of the brain, the heart and the urinary bladder in all studies. In untreated mice with liver metastases, a strong correlation (r 2 = 0.98) was found between the quantitative estimates of [18F]FDG uptake obtained by analysis of PET images, and those obtained from ex vivo assay of liver plus metastases excised immediately after imaging. In this first series, the effective limit of resolution was in livers containing a number of small metastases (range 8–14) with a single volume equivalent of approximately 200 mm3. PET image analysis was concordant with histological measurements in showing that single intraperitoneal doses of combretastatin A-4 resulted in an average 30% volume destruction of metastatic mass by 24 h following administration.
