The multidrug resistance protein MRP2 (ABCC2) acts as an ATP-dependent conjugate export pump in apical membranes of polarized cells and confers multidrug resistance. Purified MRP2 is essential for the detailed functional characterization of this member of the family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. In human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293), we have permanently expressed MRP2 containing an additional C-terminal (His)6-tag. Immunoblot and immunofluorescence analyses detected the MRP2-(His)6 overexpressing clones. Isolated membrane vesicles from the MRP2-(His)6-expressing cells were active in ATP-dependent transport of the glutathione S-conjugate leukotriene C4 and were photoaffinity-labelled with 8-azido-[alpha-32P]ATP. MRP2-(His)6 was solubilized from membranes of MRP2-(His)6-cells and purified to homogeneity in a three-step procedure using immobilized metal affinity chromatography, desalting, and immunoaffinity chromatography. The identity of the pure MRP2-(His)6 was verified by MS analysis of tryptic peptides. The purified MRP2-(His)6 glycoprotein was reconstituted into proteoliposomes and showed functional activity as ATPase in a protein-dependent manner with a Km for ATP of 2.1 mM and a Vmax of 25 nmol ADP x mg MRP2-1 x min-1. This ATPase activity was substrate-stimulated by oxidized and reduced glutathione and by S-decyl-glutathione. Future studies using pure MRP2 reconstituted in proteoliposomes should allow further insight into the molecular parameters contributing to MRP2 transport function and to define its intracellular partners for transport and multidrug resistance.

The ATP-binding cassette transporter protein, multidrug resistance protein MRP1, was purified from doxorubicin-selected H69AR lung tumor cells which express high levels of this protein. A purification procedure comprised of a differential two-step solubilization of MRP1 from plasma membranes with 3-(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio-1-propanesulfonate followed by immunoaffinity chromatography using the MRP1-specific monoclonal antibody QCRL-1 was developed. Approximately 300 microgram of MRP1 was obtained from 6 mg of plasma membranes at 80-90% purity, as indicated by silver staining of protein gels. After reconstitution of purified MRP1 into proteoliposomes, kinetic analyses indicated that its K(m) for ATP hydrolysis was 104+/-22 microM with maximal activity of 5-10 nmol min(-1) mg(-1) MRP1. MRP1 ATPase activity was further characterized with various inhibitors and exhibited an inhibition profile that distinguishes it from P-glycoprotein and other ATPases. The ATPase activity of reconstituted MRP1 was stimulated by the conjugated organic anion substrates leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) and 17beta-estradiol 17-(beta-D-glucuronide) with 50% maximal stimulation achieved at concentrations of 150 nM and 1.6 microM, respectively. MRP1 ATPase was also stimulated by glutathione disulfide but not by reduced glutathione or unconjugated chemotherapeutic agents. This purification and reconstitution procedure is the first to be described in which the ATPase activity of the reconstituted MRP1 retains kinetic characteristics with respect to ATP-dependence and substrate stimulation that are very similar to those deduced from transport studies using MRP1-enriched plasma membrane vesicles.

Cells of solid tumours tend to rely on glycolysis for energy. On the other hand, increased glycolysis in solid tumour cells expressing the multidrug resistance protein MDR-1 has been associated with increased malignancy in tumours. We have previously shown that cells of the MDR-1-positive CEM/VLB100 leukaemic cell line have increased mitochondrial electron transport chain (mtETC) activity compared with parental CEM cells. In the present study we used infrared (IR) spectroscopy to demonstrate that the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in the CEM/VLB100 cell line was significantly increased compared to that in the parental CEM cells. The increase in mtDNA was not accompanied by an increase in mitochondrial protein as both lipid and protein levels were decreased in CEM/VLB100 mitochondria. The ATP content was similar in these two cell lines. However, the ATP-dependent membrane efflux pump function in CEM/VLB100 cells was significantly reduced when mitochondrial ATP synthesis was inhibited by oligomycin, a specific inhibitor of mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase. Proliferation of CEM/VLB100 cells was significantly decreased compared to parental CEM cells, and was independent of p53 expression. Thus, we conclude that: (1) IR spectroscopy is a potential powerful technique for detecting mtDNA, protein and lipid contents simultaneously; (2) leukaemic cells mainly rely on mtDNA for energy; (3) increased expression of an ATP-dependent membrane efflux pump such as Pgp may up-regulate ATP generation and mtDNA content. These metabolic perturbations may exist merely to serve the efflux pump and do not result in an increase in leukaemic cell proliferation. In addition, the associated reduction in mitochondrial lipid and protein may contribute to sensitize the cells to cytochrome c release.

The transport of cGMP out of cells is energy requiring and has characteristics compatible with an ATP-energised anion pump. In the present study a model with inside-out vesicles from human erythrocytes was employed for further characterisation of the cGMP transporter. The uptake of leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)), a substrate for multidrug resistance protein (MRP), was concentration-dependently inhibited by the leukotriene antagonist MK571 (IC(50)=110+/-20 nM), but cGMP was unable to inhibit LTC(4) uptake. Oxidised glutathione (GSSG) and glutathione S-conjugates caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of [(3)H]cGMP uptake with IC(50) of 2200+/-700 microM for GSSG, 410+/-210 microM for S-(p-nitrobenzyl)glutathione and 37+/-16 microM for S-decylglutathione, respectively. Antioxidants such as reduced glutathione and dithiothreitol did not influence transport for concentrations up to 100 microM, but both inhibited cGMP uptake with approx. 25% at 1 mM. The cGMP pump was sensitive to temperature without activity below 20 degrees C. The transport of cGMP was dependent on pH with maximal activity between pH 8.0 and 8.5. Calcium caused a concentration-dependent inhibition with IC(50) of 43+/-12 microM. Magnesium gave a marked activation in the range between 1 and 20 mM with maximum effect at 10 mM. The other divalent cations, Mn(2+) and Co(2+), were unable to substitute Mg(2+), but caused some activation at 1 mM. EDTA and EGTA stimulated cGMP transport concentration-dependently with 50% and 100% above control at 100 microM, respectively. The present study shows that the cGMP pump has properties compatible with an organic anion transport ATPase, without affinity for the MRP substrate LTC(4). However, the blockade of the cGMP transporter by glutathione S-conjugates suggests it is one of several GS-X pumps.

The human multidrug resistance protein MRP1 and its homolog, MRP2, are both suggested as being involved in cancer drug resistance and the transport of organic anions. We expressed MRP1 and MRP2 in Spodoptera frugiperda ovarian cells and compared their ATP-dependent transport properties and vanadate-sensitive ATPase activities in isolated membrane vesicles. Both MRP1 and MRP2 actively transported leukotriene C(4) and N-ethylmaleimide glutathione (NEM-GS), although the relative affinity of MRP2 for these substrates was found to be significantly lower than that of MRP1. Methotrexate was actively transported by both proteins, although more efficiently by MRP2. ATP-dependent NEM-GS transport by MRP1 and MRP2 was variably modulated by organic anions. Probenecid and furosemide inhibited, whereas under certain conditions sulfinpyrazone, penicillin G, and indomethacin greatly stimulated, MRP2-mediated NEM-GS uptake. Vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity in isolated membranes containing MRP1 or MRP2 was significantly stimulated by NEM-GS and reduced GS, although these compounds acted only at higher concentrations in MRP2. ATP hydrolysis by MRP2 was also effectively stimulated by methotrexate. Probenecid, sulfinpyrazone, indomethacin, furosemide, and penicillin G all significantly increased MRP2-ATPase activity, whereas these compounds acted more as ATPase inhibitors on MRP1. These results indicate that MRP1 is a more efficient transporter of glutathione conjugates and free glutathione than MRP2, whereas several anions are preferred substrates for MRP2. Our data suggest that MRP2 may be responsible for the active secretion of pharmacologically relevant organic anions, such as diuretics and antibiotics, and indicate different modulation possibilities for MRP1 or MRP2 in drug-resistant tumor cells.

The 190-kDa multidrug resistance protein MRP1 (ABCC1) is a polytopic transmembrane protein belonging to the ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily. In addition to conferring resistance to various antineoplastic agents, MRP1 is a transporter of conjugated organic anions, including the cysteinyl leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)). We previously characterized the ATPase activity of reconstituted immunoaffinity-purified native MRP1 and showed it could be stimulated by its organic anion substrates (Mao, Q., Leslie, E. M., Deeley, R. G., and Cole, S. P. C. (1999) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1461, 69-82). Here we show that purified reconstituted MRP1 is also capable of active transport of its substrates. Thus LTC(4) uptake by MRP1 proteoliposomes was osmotically sensitive and could be inhibited by two MRP1-specific monoclonal antibodies. LTC(4) uptake was also markedly reduced by the competitive inhibitor, S-decyl-glutathione, as well as by the MRP1 substrates 17 beta-estradiol 17-beta-(d-glucuronide), oxidized glutathione, and vincristine in the presence of reduced glutathione. The K(m) for ATP and LTC(4) were 357 +/- 184 microm and 366 +/- 38 nm, respectively, and 2.14 +/- 0.75 microm for 17 beta-estradiol 17-beta-(d-glucuronide). Transport of vincristine required the presence of both ATP and GSH. Conversely, GSH transport was stimulated by vincristine and verapamil. Our data represent the first reconstitution of transport competent purified native MRP1 and confirm that MRP1 is an efflux pump, which can transport conjugated organic anions and co-transport vincristine together with GSH.

Intracellular accumulation of anthracycline derivatives was measured in a human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK) and a resistant subline (HEK/multidrug resistance protein (MRP1)) overexpressing MRP1 at the plasma membrane surface. Two compounds (daunorubicin and doxorubicin) were rejected outside the multidrug-resistant cells. On the contrary, three compounds (4'-deoxy-4'-iodo-doxorubicin, 4-demethoxy-daunorubicin and 3'-(3-methoxymorpholino)doxorubicin) accumulated equally within sensitive HEK cells and resistant HEK/MRP1 cells. Our main objective here was to characterize the MRP1 conformational changes mediated by the binding of these anthracycline derivatives and to determine whether these conformational changes are related to MRP1-mediated drug transport. MRP1 was reconstituted in lipid vesicles as previously described [Manciu, L., Chang, X.B., Riordan, J.R. and Ruysschaert, J.-M. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 13026-13033]. The reconstituted protein was shown to conserve its ATPase and drug transport activity. Acrylamide quenching of Trp fluorescence was used to monitor drug-dependent conformational changes. Binding of drugs (4-demethoxy-daunorubicin and 3'-(3-methoxymorpholino)doxorubicin) which accumulate in resistant cells immobilizes MRP1 in a conformational state that is insensitive to ATP binding whereas drugs rejected outside the resistant cells (daunorubicin, doxorubicin) favor a conformational change which may be a required step in the transport process.

The human multidrug resistance protein (MDR1) (P-glycoprotein), a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family, causes multidrug resistance by an active transport mechanism, which keeps the intracellular level of hydrophobic compounds below a cell-killing threshold. Human MDR1 variants with mutations affecting a conserved glycine residue within the ABC signature of either or both ABC units (G534D, G534V, G1179D and G534D/G1179D) were expressed and characterized in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cell membranes. These mutations caused a loss of measurable ATPase activity but still allowed ATP binding and the formation of a transition-state intermediate (nucleotide trapping). In contrast with the wild-type protein, in which substrate drugs accelerate nucleotide trapping, in the ABC signature mutants nucleotide trapping was inhibited by MDR1-substrate drugs, suggesting a miscommunication between the drug-binding site(s) and the catalytic domains. Equivalent mutations of the two catalytic sites resulted in a similar effect, indicating the functional equivalence of the two sites. On the basis of these results and recent structural information on an ABC-ABC dimer [Hopfner, Karcher, Shin, Craig, Arthur, Carney and Tainer (2000) Cell 101, 789-800], we propose a key role of these glycine residues in the interdomain communication regulating drug-induced ATP hydrolysis.

Recombinant nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) from human multidrug resistance protein MRP1 were overexpressed in bacteria and purified to measure their direct interaction with high-affinity flavonoids, and to evaluate a potential correlation with inhibition of MRP1-mediated transport activity and reversion of cellular multidrug resistance. Among different classes of flavonoids, dehydrosilybin exhibited the highest affinity for both NBDs, the binding to N-terminal NBD1 being prevented by ATP. Dehydrosilybin increased vanadate-induced 8-N3-[alpha-32P]ADP trapping, indicating stimulation of ATPase activity. In contrast, dehydrosilybin strongly inhibited leukotriene C4 (LTC4) transport by membrane vesicles from MRP1-transfected cells, independently of reduced glutathione, and chemosensitized cell growth to vincristine. Hydrophobic C-isoprenylation of dehydrosilybin increased the binding affinity for NBD1, but outsite the ATP site, lowered the increase in vanadate-induced 8-N3-[alpha-32P]ADP trapping, weakened inhibition of LTC4 transport which became glutathione dependent, and induced some cross-resistance. The overall results indicate multiple binding sites for dehydrosilybin and its derivatives, on both cytosolic and transmembrane domains of MRP1.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are promising new agents for specific inhibition of malignant cell growth and metastasis formation. Because most of the TKIs have to reach an intracellular target, specific membrane transporters may significantly modulate their effectiveness. In addition, the hydrophobic TKIs may interact with so-called multidrug transporters and thus alter the cellular distribution of unrelated pharmacological agents. In the present work, we show that certain TKIs, already in the clinical phase of drug development, directly interact with the ABCG2 multidrug transporter protein with a high affinity. We found that in several in vitro assay systems, STI-571 (Gleevec; imatinib mesylate), ZD1839 (Iressa; gefitinib), and N-[4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2-butynamide (EKI-785) interacted with ABCG2 at submicromolar concentrations, whereas other multidrug transporters, human multidrug resistance protein (P-glycoprotein, ABCB1) and human multidrug resistance protein 1 (ABCC1), showed much lower reactivity toward these agents. Low concentrations of the TKIs examined selectively modulated ABCG2-ATPase activity, inhibited ABCG2-dependent active drug extrusion, and significantly affected drug resistance patterns in cells expressing ABCG2. Our results indicate that multidrug resistance protein modulation by TKIs may be an important factor in the clinical treatment of cancer patients. These data also raise the possibility that an extrusion of TKIs by multidrug transporters, e.g., ABCG2, may be involved in tumor cell TKI resistance.
