In an attempt to identify mechanisms of adaptive response to adriamycin (ADR), we have earlier isolated ADR-resistant cell lines CHO/R and ME18/R by short-term pulse exposures of parent cell lines to this drug, followed by single-cell cloning. The results presented in this study have shown that the development of resistance to ADR was accompanied by cross-resistance to vinblastine and methotrexate. The resistance of tested cell lines towards ADR was substantially reversed by verapamil (VPL) at non-toxic concentrations. VPL abolished also the capability of these cell lines to express adaptive response after treatment of the cells with a conditioning dose of ADR. From the results of our study, we conclude that similar characteristics play a role in the mechanism of the phenomenon of adaptive response as in the mechanism of pleiotropic multidrug resistance.
