To gain a better understanding of the mechanism of action of the metal cation-containing chemotherapeutic drug motexafin gadolinium (MGd), gene expression profiling analyses were conducted on plateau phase human lung cancer (A549) cell cultures treated with MGd. Drug treatment elicited a highly specific response that manifested in elevated levels of metallothionein isoform and zinc transporter 1 (ZnT1) transcripts. A549 cultures incubated with MGd in the presence of exogenous zinc acetate displa ...[more]
