“…Todor et al, found that the formation of resistance to cisplatin in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells is accompanied by changes in the composition of lipids, specifically by increases in the content of cholesterol and cholesterol ethers, decreased amounts of monoacylglycerols and triacylglycerols, a higher content of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylserine, and a lower content of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine [ 21 ], which, together, suggest an increase in viscosity. In our previous study on human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells, we also detected increased membrane viscosity in a cisplatin-adapted subline [ 10 ]. In human colorectal cancer cells, increased levels of all phospholipids, including phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine, were found, this being associated with enhanced cell membrane synthesis [ 22 , 23 ].…”
