Abstract
Expression of genes that plays a significant role in the control of cellular redox homeostasis was studied during the development of drug resistance of human ovarian adenocarcinoma SKOV-3 cells to cisplatin. It was found that the development of drug resistance was accompanied by enhanced expression of the genes encoding the key antioxidant enzymes (SOD2, CAT, GPX1, and HO-1) and transcription factor Nrf2, as well as reduced expression of the gene encoding NOX5 isoform of NADPH oxidase. The results testify to redox-dependent development of the adaptive antioxidant response as an important process in the mechanism of formation of resistance to cisplatin.
Keywords:
NADPH oxidase 5; antioxidant enzymes; cisplatin; drug resistance of tumor cells; gene expression.
