Disease relevance of KB Cells

 

High impact information on KB Cells

  • Multi-drug-resistant transfectants obtained with the mutant sequence were characterized by increased relative resistance to colchicine compared with transfectants obtained with wild-type sequence. mdr1 mutations are therefore responsible for preferential resistance to colchicine in multidrug-resistant KB cells [6].
  • A variant form of beta-actin in a mutant of KB cells resistant to cytochalasin B [7].
  • Several KB cell RNAs with long half-lives in vivo, including 5S and bulk 4S RNA, are not cleaved by this nuclease [1].
  • Identification of a ribonuclease P-like activity from human KB cells [1].
  • Expression of a truncated SIF protein resulted in defects in neuronal morphology and induced membrane ruffling with altered actin localization in human KB cells [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of KB Cells

  • To investigate the role of hFR in acquired MTX resistance in human cells, we characterized nine MTX-resistant clones selected from human nasopharyngeal epidermoid carcinoma (KB) cells (cells which transport folates/anti-folates via the hFR) cultured in media containing low folate concentrations [9].
  • Adenovirus type 2 DNA replicated in arginine-starved KB cells is infectious [10].
  • Adenovirus adsorption and sterol redistribution in KB cell plasma membrane [11].
  • Since high extracellular folate (PteGlu) concentrations (EFC) profoundly influenced uptake and toxicity of the anti-PteGlu methotrexate in malignant KB cells, we studied human cells to determine additional mechanisms for PteGlu uptake when the EFC was varied [12].
  • Verapamil, a clinically important calcium channel blocker, has been found to cause a 40-fold enhancement of killing of the human KB cell line by a cytotoxic conjugate of epidermal growth factor with Pseudomonas exotoxin (EGF-PE) [13].
 

Biological context of KB Cells

  • NC37 and KB cells grown in suspension culture remained agglutinable at 23 degrees C by concanavalin A (Con A) after sufficient glutaraldehyde fixation to prevent lateral mobility (clustering) of Con A binding sites [14].
  • A human homologue (GST1-Hs) of the yeast GST1 gene that encodes a new GTP-binding protein essential for the G1-to-S phase transition of the cell cycle was cloned from the cDNA library of human KB cells [15].
  • Morphologic characterization of the pathway of transferrin endocytosis and recycling in human KB cells [16].
  • The immunoreactive protein was purified to homogeneity and identified as a catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase alpha by molecular mass, by aphidicolin sensitivity, and by recognition by a monoclonal antibody against human KB cell DNA polymerase alpha [17].
  • The role of glycosylation in the biosynthesis and acquisition of ligand-binding activity of the folate-binding protein in cultured KB cells [18].
 

Anatomical context of KB Cells

 

Associations of KB Cells with chemical compounds

  • When KB cells which had been passaged in low folate medium were passaged back into either standard medium or low folate medium supplemented with reduced folates, the levels of both folate-binding proteins fell linearly towards the levels in KB cells continuously maintained in standard medium [24].
  • METHODS: Membrane vesicles were prepared from KB-3-1 (clone from parental KB cells) cells and from cisplatin-resistant KCP-4 (a mutant clone derived from KB-3-1 cells) cells [2].
  • These levels significantly increased to 182 +/- 34 and 26 +/- 6 pmol/mg cell protein, respectively, in KB cells serially passaged in low folate medium (containing 2-10 nM 5-methyltetrahydrofolate) [24].
  • Very low accumulation of vincristine or daunorubicin was observed in the multiple-drug-resistant KB cells in comparison with accumulation in the parental KB cells [25].
  • KB cells "pretreated" in culture with the glucocorticoid prednisolone in hyperosmolal medium exhibited a decrease in the levels of the oncoamniotic (FL) isoenzyme and an increase in the Regan isoenzyme [26].
 

Gene context of KB Cells

  • SKK3 was the only activator of SAPK4 that was induced when KB cells were exposed to a cellular stress or stimulated with interleukin-1 [27].
  • The chimeric proteins bound to the IGF1 receptors of the human lymphoblast IM-9, albeit with reduced affinity, and elicited some of the same biologic effects (increased glucose and amino acid uptake) in human KB cells as did human IGF1, but with reduced specific activity [28].
  • In contrast, hRRM2 was up-regulated by UV in both PC3 cells and KB cells. hRRM2 and p53R2 mRNA levels were assessed by Northern blot, and the results paralleled that of the Western blot [29].
  • We examined vanadate-induced nucleotide trapping in MRP1 stably expressed in KB cell membrane by using 8-azido-[alpha-(32)P]ATP [30].
  • Utilizing a methotrexate-resistant KB cell line designated 1BT, we now report the kinetic basis for altered levels of DHFR RNA observed in FUra-treated cells [31].
