The ovarian carcinoma subline A2780/C10B (C10B) is an oxaliplatin resistant clone derived from the human ovarian carcinoma cell line A2780. The C10B cells are characterized by mesenchymal phenotype, decreased platinum uptake and increased glutathione levels (Hector et al. in Cancer Lett 245:195-204, 2007; Varma et al. in Oncol Rep 14:925-932, 2005). Na,K-ATPase-beta subunit (Na,K-beta(1)) functions as a cell-cell adhesion molecule in epithelial cells and is reduced in a variety of carcinoma cells that show mesenchymal phenotype. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between Na,K-beta expression and sensitivity to oxaliplatin.
