Abstract

An important stage of research devoted to the analysis of mechanisms of tumor recurrence and drug resistance is the generation of model lines of tumor cells that are resistant to the drug of interest. This paper describes the establishment of the cisplatin-resistant colon cancer cell line based on HCT116 colon cancer cells and characterizes some properties of resistant cells, including their proliferative, metabolic and migration activity. The resulting line HCT116/C exhibited more than 30-fold resistance to cisplatin compared to the original cells. As a result of our work, an in vitro model of colorectal-cancer cells resistant to cisplatin has been obtained. This model opens up opportunities for future research on overcoming drug resistance in vitro and search for new approaches to anticancer therapy in vivo.
