Second Department of Medicine, *Second Department of Surgery, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan BFP is a kind of oncofetal protein and an useful tumor marker for lung cancer. To investigate BFP in primary lung cancer cells, 21 surgically resected primary lung cancers were stained immunohistochemically by labelled streptoavidin-biotin method with polyclonal anti-BFP antibody. In 9 of 12 adenocarcinomas, 3 of 5 squamous cancers, 1 adenosquamous cancer, none of 2 large cell cancers and 1 small cell lung cancer, BFP was positively stained. From the view point of differentiation, well differentiated carcinomas, as well as poorly differentiated carcinomas were positive for BFP. The results indicate that BFP is expressed in a wide range of primary lung cancer, irrelevant to histologal types and the degree of differentiation.

Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan To analyze the mechanism of cross-resistance between anticancer drugs and ionizing radiation, 6 drug resistant lung cancer cell lines and their parental cell lines were examined for radiosensitivity using a growth inhibition assay. The IDS,, and Do in PC-9/CDDP, Which was cisplatin resistant or PC-g, its parental adenocarcinoma cell lines of the lung, were 843f31.BcGy and 1.020~0.161Gy, or 509f13.3cGy (p=O.O004) and 0.551*0.129Gy (p=O.O353), respectively. These data show that PC-9/CDDP was radioresistant compared to PC-g.

To analyze the mechanism of radioresistance in PC-9/CDDP, the amounts of induction and repair speed of single-strand breaks (ssb) or double-strand breaks (dsbl after irradiation were examined in PC-9 and PC-9/CDDP by an alkaline elution method. Although the repair of dsb were not different between PC-9 and PC- 9/CDDP, the induction of dsb in PC-9/CDDP was less than that in PC-g. The induction and repair of ssb were not different in each cell line. Intracellular glutathione (GSH) contents of PC-9 and PC-9/CDDP were 20.0i0.9nmol/mg protein and 63.5*8.5nmol/mg protein respectively. After depletion of GSH in PC-9/CDDP by treatment with 5Ow of buthionine sulfoximine (BSOI to the level of parental PC-g, the induction of dsb by irradiation became elevated to the same levels in BSO untreated PC-g, and PC-9/CDDP became to show the same levels of radiosensitivity in BSO untreated PC-g. Therefore, the elevated GSH content of PC-9/CDDP was thought to induce radioresistance in PC-O/CDDP. These data provide a basis for a clinical trial of radiotherapy with BSO against the locally advancedrecurrent lung cancerafter cisplatin treatment. 069 INHIBITORY EFFECTS UF/%CAHCITENE UN PHOLIFEMTIUN IN VITXO AND IWI'ASTASIS 1~4VIVd OF LUNG CAB&3 CEdS BT Lai,H Wang,l;Z Liu,E'H Jiao and H Yan.
