A model for CDDP resistance development via reprogramming of glutamine metabolism in ovarian cancer cells. In CDDP-sensitive cancer cells, both GLS and GS are expressed, and low levels of GSH are produced from glutamate. In contrast, in CDDP-resistant cells, GS expression is suppressed by DNA methylation, whereas GLS expression is maintained, and thereby high levels of GSH are produced. This reprogramming of glutamine metabolism causes CDDP resistance
