Generation of cisplatin-resistant EOC cells. (A) Experimental design used in the generation of cisplatin-resistant (MI-res) cells. Cells, plated at high confluence (1), were exposed for 2 hours to a cisplatin dose 10-fold higher than their calculated IC50 (2). After a suspension period (3), recovered cells were subjected again to step 1–3, for additional 20 cycles and then their cisplatin sensitivity was assessed again. (B–D) Cisplatin (B), Taxol (C) and Doxorubicin (D) dose response curves using parental and MI-res cells, as indicated. Results are expressed as percentage of viable cells respect to untreated cells. IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentrations) are reported (n = 3 biological replicates each performed in triplicate). In the lower table, the IC50 calculated for each drug and cell line is shown. In (B,C and D), the difference between parental cells and each MI-res clone is reported. Statistical significance was determined by repeated-measures analysis of one-way-ANOVA test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ns = not significant.
