We have previously reported a 24 fold difference in the cisplatin sensitivity and a 12 fold difference in carboplatin sensitivity of endometrial carcinoma cell lines. In this study as evaluate paclitaxel sensitivity of the same cell lines. We tested nine endometrial cancer cell lines with the 96-well plate clonogenic assay using limiting dilution. The chemosensitivity was expressed as IC50 value, the drug concentration causing 50% inhibition of clonogenic survival. IC50 values were obtained from dose-response curves after fitting the data to the linear quadratic equation. The IC50 values for paclitaxel were 0.49 - 2.3 nM showing only a 4.7 fold difference between various cell lines. No correlation could be demonstrated between in vitro paclitaxel and platinum analog sensitivities of endometrial adenocarcinoma cell lines. The variance in paclitaxel sensitivity of different cell lines was little. Our results suggest that endometrial adenocarcinoma cell lines tested with the same methods. The clinical efficacy of paclitaxel in the treatment of endometrial cancer should further be evaluated in clinical trials.
