Cell-type-specific sensitivity of bortezomib in the methotrexate-resistant primary central nervous system lymphoma cells

ConclusionThese results indicate the cell-type-specific changes downstream of metabolic pathways for MTX and folate, bortezomib sensitivity, and purine and pyrimidine syntheses, in each PCNSL cell line. The MTX-resistant lymphoma cell lines established may be useful for in vitro relapse models for MTX and development of salvage chemotherapy and drug discovery.
