The effect of exposure of L 1210 mouse leukemia cells to artificially generated air ions on the activity of membrane Na, K-ATPase in the cells was investigated. The exposure of cells to air ions of both signs gave identical results, i.e. diminution of transport activity of the enzyme, measured by radioactive 86Rb transport into the cell (ouabain-dependent). Passive ouabain-independent transport of Rb+ into the cells remained unchanged in the air ion-treated cells, as did the passive efflux of the radioisotope from preloaded cells. The possible explanation of the phenomena observed is discussed.

Vincristine sensitive (L1210) and resistant (L1210/VCR) L1210 mouse leukemia cells were studied from morphological and histochemical point of view. The morphological and histochemical findings reflected differences in membrane structure and in physiological state of sensitive and resistant cells. Numerous villous projections and cytoplasmic protrusions of the cell surface as well as higher activity of membrane enzymes (5'-nucleotidase, ATPase, alkaline phosphatase) were found in vincristine resistant cells. It is assumed that in resistant cells these differences are connected with overexpression of membrane P-glycoprotein. Moreover, in resistant cells more condensed mitochondria were found after their exposure to vincristine. This finding can reflect a higher activity of these organelles in conditions when activity of P-glycoprotein is manifested and is in agreement with increased rate of oxygen consumption by resistant cells from 2.5 +/- 0.3 to 3.3 +/- 0.2 microliter/min.10(6) cells induced by vincristine.

VX-710 or (S)-N[2-Oxo-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acetyl]-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid 1,7-bis(3-pyridyl)-4-heptyl ester, a novel non-macrocyclic ligand of the FK506-binding protein FKBP12, was evaluated for its ability to reverse P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance in vitro. VX-710 at 0.5-5 microM restored sensitivity of a variety of multidrug resistant cells to the cytotoxic action of doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide or paclitaxel, including drug-selected human myeloma and epithelial carcinoma cells, and human MDR1 cDNA-transfected mouse leukemia and fibroblast cells. Uptake experiments showed that VX-710 at 0.5-2.5 microM fully restored intracellular accumulation of [14C]doxorubicin in multidrug resistant cells, suggesting that VX-710 inhibits the drug efflux activity of P-glycoprotein. VX-710 effectively inhibited photoaffinity labeling of P-glycoprotein by [3H]azidopine or [125I]iodoaryl azidoprazosin with EC50 values of 0.75 and 0.55 microM. Moreover, P-glycoprotein was specifically labeled by a tritiated photoaffinity analog of VX-710 and unlabeled VX-710 inhibited analog binding with an EC50 of 0.75 microM. VX-710 also stimulated the vanadate-inhibitable P-glycoprotein ATPase activity 2- to 3-fold in a concentration-dependent manner with an apparent k(a) of 0.1 microM. These data indicate that a direct, high-affinity interaction of VX-710 with P-glycoprotein prevents efflux of cytotoxic drugs by the MDR1 gene product in multidrug resistant tumor cells.

Multidrug resistance (MDR), caused by overexpression of either P-glycoprotein or the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), is characterized by a decreased cellular drug accumulation due to an enhanced drug efflux. Many studies on cells overexpressing MRP and/or Pgp, have shown a concentration of the drug inside cytoplasmic acidic vesicles followed by an exocytotic process. In this study, we examined the effects of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole or NBD (a H+-ATPase pump inhibitor), buthionine sulphoximine or BSO (an inhibitor of glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis) and verapamil or VPL (a calcium channel blocker) on the subcellular distribution of daunorubicin or DNR in K562 cells overexpressing MRP (K-H30) and Pgp (K-H300) and A549 cells overexpressing spontaneously MRP. Nucleo-cytoplasmic distribution of DNR was carried out using scanning confocal microspectrofluorometry. This technique allows determination of nuclear accumulation of anthracyclines. Our results show that nuclear accumulation of DNR in K-H30 and A549 cells was increased by NBD, BSO and VPL while in K-H300 cells, only VPL was able to increase nuclear accumulation of DNR. Similarly, NBD, BSO and VPL could reverse DNR resistance in K-H30 cells whereas, in K-H300 cells, only VPL increased the sensitivity of these cells. These data suggest a requirement for GSH in MRP-mediated resistance and suggest that even if vesicular sequestration can happen in cells overexpressing MRP and Pgp proteins, probably only the MRP protein is able to extrude the drug through intracellular vesicles and efflux. Finally, NBD and BSO might be a useful agents in facilitating discrimination between Pgp and MRP phenotypes and prognosis in patients.

Cytoplasmic dynein plays important roles in membrane transport, mitosis, and other cellular processes. A few small-molecule inhibitors of cytoplasmic dynein have been identified. We report here the first synthesis of purealin, a natural product isolated from the sea sponge Psammaplysilla purea, which is known to inhibit axonemal dynein. Also described are the first syntheses, by modular amide coupling reactions, of the natural product purealidin A (a component of purealin) and a small library of analogues. The library was examined for inhibition of cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain and cell growth. The compounds showed effective antiproliferative activity against a mouse leukemia cell line but selective activities against human carcinoma cell lines. Purealin and some of the analogues inhibited the microtubule-stimulated ATPase activity of recombinant cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain motor domain. The inhibitory effect of purealin was concentration dependent and uncompetitive, supporting the hypothesis that it does not compete with the binding of ATP.

The majority of chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) imatinib mesylate maintain durable responses to the drug. However, most patients relapse after withdrawal of imatinib and advanced stage patients often develop drug resistance. As CML is considered a hematopoietic stem cell cancer, it has been postulated that inherent protective mechanisms lead to relapse in patients. The ATP binding-cassette transporters ABCB1 (MDR-1; P-glycoprotein) and ABCG2 are highly expressed on primitive hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and have been shown to interact with TKIs. Herein we demonstrate a dose-dependent, reversible inhibition of ABCG2-mediated Hoechst 33342 dye efflux in primary human and murine HSC by both imatinib and nilotinib (AMN107), a novel aminopyrimidine inhibitor of BCR-ABL. ABCG2-transduced K562 cells were protected from imatinib and nilotinib-mediated cell death and from downregulation of P-CRKL. Moreover, photoaffinity labeling revealed interaction of both TKIs with ABCG2 at the substrate binding sites as they compete with the binding of [(125)I] IAAP and also stimulate the transporter's ATPase activity. Therefore, our evidence suggests for the role of ABC transporters in resistance to TKI on primitive HSCs and CML stem cells and provides a rationale how TKI resistance can be overcome in vivo.

Human T-cell leukemia is a malignant disease that needs various regimens of cytotoxic chemotherapy to overcome drug resistance. Recently, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase has emerged as a potential target for cancer therapy. However, its exact signaling pathway in human T-cell leukemia cell death has not been well defined. In the current study, we found CD95(APO-1) was able to trigger the internalization of plasma membrane Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in Jurkat cells or primary T cells as a mechanism to suppress its activity. This internalization was closely relevant to intracellular glutathione (GSH) depletion in Jurkat cells downstream of Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) and caspase 8. GSH depletion in Fas L-treated Jurkat cells induced the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), which subsequently increased the serine phosphorylation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha1 subunit. Exogenous H(2)O(2) even mimicked the effect of Fas L to upregulate the serine phosphorylation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha1 subunit and suppress Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. Overall, our results indicate that CD95(APO-1) induces the FADD- and caspase 8-dependent internalization of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase through intracellular GSH loss, and the subsequent generation of H(2)O(2)-mediated serine phosphorylation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha1 subunit. Taken together, this study presents a novel regulatory mechanism of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in CD95(APO-1)-mediated human T-leukemia cell apoptosis.

Change in gene expression associated with pancreatic cancer could be attributed to the variation in histone posttranslational modifications leading to subsequent remodeling of the chromatin template during transcription. However, the interconnected network of molecules involved in regulating such processes remains elusive. hPaf1/PD2, a subunit of the human PAF-complex, involved in the regulation of transcriptional elongation has oncogenic potential. Our study explores the possibility that regulation of histone methylation by hPaf1 can contribute towards alteration in gene expression by nucleosomal rearrangement. Here, we show that knockdown of hPaf1/PD2 leads to decreased di- and tri-methylation at histone H3 lysine 4 residues in pancreatic cancer cells. Interestingly, hPaf1/PD2 colocalizes with MLL1 (Mixed Lineage Leukemia 1), a histone methyltransferase that methylates H3K4 residues. Also, a reduction in hPaf1 level resulted in reduced MLL1 expression and a corresponding decrease in the level of CHD1 (Chromohelicase DNA-binding protein 1), an ATPase dependent chromatin remodeling enzyme that specifically binds to H3K4 di and trimethyl marks. hPaf1/PD2 was also found to interact and colocalize with CHD1 in both cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts of pancreatic cancer cells. Further, reduced level of CHD1 localization in the nucleus in hPaf1/PD2 Knockdown cells could be rescued by ectopic expression of hPaf1/PD2. Micrococcal nuclease digestion showed an altered chromatin structure in hPaf1/PD2-KD cells. Overall, our results suggest that hPaf1/PD2 in association with MLL1 regulates methylation of H3K4 residues, as well as interacts and regulates nuclear shuttling of chromatin remodeling protein CHD1, facilitating its function in pancreatic cancer cells.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). Unfortunately, 25% of TKI-naive patients and 50-90% of patients developing TKI-resistance carry CML clones expressing TKI-resistant BCR-ABL1 kinase mutants. We reported that CML-CP leukemia stem and progenitor cell populations accumulate high amounts of reactive oxygen species, which may result in accumulation of uracil derivatives in genomic DNA. Unfaithful and/or inefficient repair of these lesions generates TKI-resistant point mutations in BCR-ABL1 kinase. Using an array of specific substrates and inhibitors/blocking antibodies we found that uracil DNA glycosylase UNG2 were inhibited in BCR-ABL1-transformed cell lines and CD34(+) CML cells. The inhibitory effect was not accompanied by downregulation of nuclear expression and/or chromatin association of UNG2. The effect was BCR-ABL1 kinase-specific because several other fusion tyrosine kinases did not reduce UNG2 activity. Using UNG2-specific inhibitor UGI, we found that reduction of UNG2 activity increased the number of uracil derivatives in genomic DNA detected by modified comet assay and facilitated accumulation of ouabain-resistant point mutations in reporter gene Na(+)/K(+)ATPase. In conclusion, we postulate that BCR-ABL1 kinase-mediated inhibition of UNG2 contributes to accumulation of point mutations responsible for TKI resistance causing the disease relapse, and perhaps also other point mutations facilitating malignant progression of CML.
