Article Title: | Effect on in vivo tumorigenicity of lengthy exposure of human colon cancer cells to the differentiation agent hexamethylene bisacetamide |
Abstract: | The heterogeneity of tumor responses to maturation agents was studied using the multipotential, non-cloned human colon carcinoma cell line HT29. Short-term treatment (5 cell doublings) with the differentiation agent hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) induced a sharp decrease in tumorigenicity in vivo and loss of a cell surface malignancy marker. However, prolonged treatment (22 cell doublings) with the agent lead to loss of the HMBA-sensitive subpopulation from the mass culture, and enrichment of a tumorigenic, HMBA-resistant subpopulation. © 1989. |
