15486199 Loganzo F, Hari M, Annable T, Tan X, Morilla DB, Musto S, Zask A, Kaplan J, Minnick AA Jr, May MK, Ayral-Kaloustian S, Poruchynsky MS, Fojo T, Greenberger LM: Cells resistant to HTI-286 do not overexpress P-glycoprotein but have reduced drug accumulation and a point mutation in alpha-tubulin. Mol Cancer Ther. 2004 Oct;3(10):1319-27.

However, 4.0 nmol/L HTI-286-selected cells had a point mutation in alpha-tubulin that substitutes Ser for Ala (12) near the nonexchangeable GTP-binding site of alpha-tubulin.
Sodium azide treatment partially reversed low HTI-286 accumulation, suggesting involvement of an ATP-dependent drug pump.

By contrast, low doses of microinjected DM1A (46 nl; 2.5 mg/ml), anti-actin (clone KJ43A), anti-cytokeratin (C-11), anti-intermediate filament antibody (IFA), generic IgG (46 nl; 20 mg/ml) or sodium azide (46 nl; 1 mg/ml), an antibody preservative, were without inhibitory effect in this bioassay.

Sodium azide, an inhibitor of ATP production, and Genistein, a general tyrosine kinase inhibitor, antagonized these effects.
During the changes the distribution of cytokeratins, fibrillar actin and alpha-tubulin changed.
