We previously reported the establishment and characteristics of a DXM-resistant cell line (7TD1-DXM) generated from the IL6-dependent mouse B cell hybridoma, 7TD1 cell line. After withdrawing DXM from 7TD1-DXM cells over 90 days, DXM significantly inhibited the cell growth and induced apoptosis in the cells (7TD1-WD) compared with 7TD1-DXM cells. Additionally, IL-6 reversed while IL-6 antibody and AG490 enhanced the effects of growth inhibition and apoptosis induced by DXM in 7TD1-WD cells. Our study demonstrates that 7TD1-DXM cells become resensitized to DXM after DXM withdrawal, and IL-6 and JAK2/STAT3 pathways may regulate the phenomenon.

Interleukin-6 (IL6)-mediated signaling is known to play a role in pathogenesis and resistance in several cancers like multiple myeloma (MM). In this report we used the IL6-dependent 7TD1 murine B-cell hybridoma as an in vitro model to study the interactions between IL6-signaling pathways and the development of dexamethasone resistance. Though in initial stages, 7TD1 cells grew IL6-dependent and were sensitive to dexamethasone-induced apoptosis, chronic exposure to dexamethasone led to a dexamethasone-resistant phenotype (7TD1-Dxm) that grew independent of exogenous IL6.
