Özet

We have explored the action of zoledronic acid, which has an apoptotic effect and is used as an agent for treating skeletal metastases and osteoporosis, in the presence of vinblastine, and whether this effect is associated with MRP-1 (multidrug resistance protein-1) expression. HEK (human embryonic kidney) 293 cells were transfected to form the multidrug resistant cell line designated 293MRP (MRP-1 expressing HEK293 cells). Both lines were treated with varying concentrations of vinblastine and zoledronic acid. Apoptosis was determined by the TUNEL (deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end-labeling) method.
