Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzyme expression patterns were determined
for a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines, representing nine tumor tissue types, used by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Anticancer Drug Screening Program. All 60 tumor cell lines displayed significant P450 activity, as well as P450 reductase activity, as
determined using the general P450 substrate 7-benzyloxyresorufin. Cell line-specific P450 enzyme patterns were observed using three other
P450 substrates, 7-ethoxycoumarin, coumarin, and 7-ethoxyresorufin, each of which was metabolized at a low rate. Using a pattern-matching computer program, COMPARE, correlative relationships were investigated between the arrays of P450 activities and the patterns of cytotoxicity exhibited by a large group of anticancer agents of proven or potential clinical utility. Significant negative correlations between the patterns of P450-dependent 7-benzyloxyresorufin metabolism activity and
cell line chemosensitivity were observed for 10 standard anticancer agents (including 6 alkylating agents) and 55 investigational compounds, suggesting a role for P450 metabolism in the inactivation of
these agents. Negative correlations between 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation and cell line chemosensitivity to a group
of topoisomerase inhibitors were also seen, again suggesting
P450-dependent drug inactivation. P450 enzyme profiling may thus aid in
interpreting the patterns of drug sensitivity and resistance in the NCI
tumor cell panel, and may facilitate the identification of anticancer agents whose activity can be altered via cytochrome P450 metabolism.
