Abstract

Failure of chemotherapy with anthracyclines as a result of drug resistance and toxicity is a major problem in the clinical management of neoplasia. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the activity of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) as a chemosensitiser on anthracycline cytotoxicity. The study investigated whether such an effect could be related to an increase in lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide production, membrane fluidity and intracellular anthracycline concentration. The results showed that anthracyclines decreased nitric oxide production but increased membrane viscosity (polarisation constant) and lipid hydroperoxide formation in canine mammary tumour cells. Moreover, it was found that both drug-induced cytotoxicity and membrane viscosity increased in the presence of MPA. Conversely, lipid hydroperoxides decreased in MPA-supplemented cells. Medroxyprogesterone acetate did not show any effect on nitric oxide production. The two anthracyclines used (doxorubicin and idarubicin) showed differential intranuclear accumulation in canine mammary tumour cells, and MPA significantly modified intracellular concentration of anthracyclines
