Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase mRNA and protein expression analysis in normal and drug-resistant cells.

To follow the expression of the fourth enzyme of pyrimidine de novo synthesis dihydroorotate dehydrogenase ( DHODH) in cells and tissues, we studied the DHODH mRNA expression by means of RT-PCR in rat tissues. Rabbit polyclonal anti- DHODH immunoglobulins were applied for immunochemical quantification of the enzyme protein by Western blotting. In mouse B-lymphocytes, which were adapted to tolerate up to a 50-fold concentration of the DHODH inhibitor leflunomide, a 20 fold protein overexpression was measured. Southern blotting indicated DHODH gene amplification.[1]
