Metastatic prostate cancer is resistant to most cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs. 1, 2 At the cellular or molecular level the development of resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs by cancer cells is a complex phenomenon. Among the many nonmutational mechanisms that regulate chemosensitivity to anticancer drugs, cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are believed to be important. 3–5 Because the normal prostatic epithelial cells rely on their interactions with stromal cells and the ECM for their survival, it may be argued that stromal cells or the factors released by them may also alter the response of tumor cells to anticancer drugs. 6 Moreover, the role of tumor cells in modifying the healthy stroma to facilitate tumor cell growth, invasion, and metastasis is also just being unraveled. 7 Furthermore, it has long been known that tumors growing in different metastatic sites are not equally sensitive to cytotoxic actions of chemotherapy drugs. 8, 9We tested two hypothesis:(1) The differences in the responses of the metastatic tumors to anticancer drugs in vivo is due to the interaction of tumor cells with the normal cells that surround them; and therefore, by creating these conditions in vitro we should be able to reproduce some of the observed differences in vitro.(2) Tumor cells modify the stromal cells and endothelial cells to their advantage for invasion and metastasis by inducing them to secrete matrix-degrading enzymes. These hypotheses were tested on prostate tumor cells by coculturing tumor cells with stromal cells isolated from both the primary tumor site (prostate) and a distant metastatic site (eg, lung). The drugs used were Taxol and CMT-3 (6, deoxy, 6-dimethyl, 4-dedimethylamino tetracycline). CMT-3 is aa novel cytotoxic compound with multiple cellular targets. 10–12 The effect of tumor cells on the pattern of MMP secretion by stromal cells and endothelial cells was examined in culture-conditioned medium using species-specific enzyme immunoassays (ELISA).
