Abstract
Evidence is presented for a human mutant cell line (K562-M) which possesses altered amino acid membrane transport properties with different methotrexate (MTX) sensitivity from its respective parent cell line (K562-P). This was not due to any significant change in the amount of the dihydrofolate reductase. The initial uptake of MTX into both cell lines (K562P and K562M) was also similar. This mutant cell line demonstrates the following characteristics: 1. A two fold resistance in MTX cytotoxicity. 2. An apparent difference in either the Kt and/or Vmax for specific amino acid substrates and 3. Increased inhibition of amino acid transport by MTX.
