- Description: To determine how resistance to MDM2/p53 binding antagonists might develop, NGP cells were exposed to growth inhibitory concentrations of a MDM2 inhibitor, Nutlin-3, and a clonal resistant cell line was generated. The p53 mediated responses of the parental and resistant cell line were compared. In contrast to the parental cell lines, p53 activation by Nutlin-3, MI-63 or ionizing radiation was not observed in the NGP derived cell line, N_N20R1.

- Production details: Resistant cell lines were established by exposing NGP cells to Nutlin-3. Single cell derived colonies were isolated with cloning cylinders and the clonal population expanded in culture medium containing the MDM2/p53 antagonist refreshed weekly for 60 days. Stage 1 resistant clones were then further exposed to increased concentrations of Nutlin-3 for 30 days to generate stage 2 resistant clones.
