Reversal of collateral sensitivity of KB-V1 cells to tiopronin by ROS scavengers, assessed by cytotoxicity assay. A, dose-response curves of the P-gp-expressing subline KB-V1 and the parental KB-3-1 human adenocarcinoma cell line treated with tiopronin for 72 h, showing the effect of increasing (nontoxic) concentrations of N-acetylcysteine (1, 2, and 5 mm) on the cytotoxicity of tiopronin toward KB-V1 and KB-3-1 cells. B, effect of anoxic conditions on the cytotoxicity of tiopronin toward KB-V1 and KB-3-1 cells. C, effect of catalase and inactivated catalase (generated by heating lysate at 65 °C for 4 h) added to growth media on the cytotoxicity of tiopronin toward KB-V1 and KB-3-1 cells. D, effect of erythrocyte (RBC) lysate and inactivated RBC lysate (generated by heating lysate at 65 °C for 4 h), added to growth media on the cytotoxicity of tiopronin toward KB-V1 and KB-3-1 cells.
