HL60 cells resistant to Adriamycin contain a 32P-labeled, Mr 150,000 surface membrane protein (p150) which is not detected in cells sensitive to drug. The levels of phosphorylation of this protein increase with increasing levels of resistance. Analysis of plasma membranes prepared from cells labeled with [14C]glucosamine shows, however, that both sensitive cells and those exhibiting an 80-fold increase in drug resistance contain essentially identical levels of a highly glycosylated Mr 150,000 protein. Identical results are obtained when cells are labeled with [14C]galactose or [14C]mannose. Limited proteolytic digestion of [14C]glucosamine-labeled p150 from sensitive and resistant cells shows that the glycopeptides formed are identical. Additional studies involving binding of proteins to insolubilized lectin indicate that 32P-labeled p150 is glycosylated. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of p150 followed by silver staining shows no difference in the levels of this protein in sensitive and 80-fold drug-resistant cells. Further studies show that two-dimensional tryptic peptide maps of 125I-labeled p150 of sensitive and resistant cells are essentially the same. It has also been found that treatment of cells with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate followed by [14C]glucosamine labeling results in a selective decrease in the glycosylation of p150 of sensitive and resistant cells. TPA has an identical effect on the phosphorylation of p150 in cells resistant to drug. HL60 cells have also been examined for the presence of the Mr 170,000 to 180,000 P-glycoprotein. Using immunoblot analysis with a monoclonal antibody directed against the P-glycoprotein we did not detect the presence of this protein in membranes of drug-sensitive or -resistant HL60 cells. The results of this study suggest that Adriamycin resistance in HL60 cells may be related to a modified form of a protein contained in cells sensitive to drug. Proteins active in drug resistance in this system may be distinct from those described for other cell lines.

The MDR1 gene product P-glycoprotein (P-gp) extrudes several anticancer drugs including taxol and fluorescent dyes such as rhodamine (Rh123). Modulation of the level of P-gp expression has the potential of overcoming multidrug resistance. One possible approach is the retroviral transfer of the human MDR1 gene into murine and human bone marrow (BM) progenitor cells. The rationale for this approach is increased chemoprotection, which allows chemotherapy of a greater level of intensity to be delivered. In this study, flow cytometric measurement of Rh123 extrusion was used to test P-gp function in human and mouse haemopoietic progenitor cells, which had been transduced with a virus containing the human MDR1 transcription unit. Human CD34+ selected cells were analysed immediately following transduction. In two successive experiments MDR1 cDNA transduction resulted in a 7% and 11% increase of P-gp expressing Rh123 dull cells. To monitor transduction efficiency over time as well as the possibility of in vivo selection of drug-resistant BM cells in mice treated with increasing numbers of taxol cycles, the assay was also successfully applied to peripheral blood lymphocytes of mice transplanted with MDR1 transduced BM cells, demonstrating increased Rh123 efflux in transduced cells. Analysis of another fluorescence assay using fluorescein di-beta galactopyranoside as a substrate for beta-galactosidase in cells transduced with a MDR1: beta-gal activity. We conclude that the Rh123 efflux assay is a sensitive method to monitor P-gp function in MDR1 cDNA transduced cells, and may be used to enrich transduced cells via flow cytometric cell sorting for Rh123 dull cells.

A multidrug-resistant (MDR) cell line isolated from HOB1 lymphoma cells was characterized. The MDR phenotype in this cell line was typified by resistance to vincristine with varying degrees of cross-resistance to Adriamycin, colcemid and actinomycin D. Decreased intracellular [3H]vincristine with concurrent increase in the expression of a 170-kDa membrane glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein) suggested a plausible underlying mechanism for the development of resistance. Amplification of the mdr1 gene as well as a homogeneous staining region on the long arm of the 7th chromosome was observed. Moreover, metabolic studies with [14C]glucosamine or [14C]mannose indicated differential expressions of membrane glycoproteins between the drug-sensitive parental and drug-resistant descendant cells. It is concluded that the development of drug resistance in HOB1 lymphoma cells was strongly correlated with the overexpression of P-glycoprotein.

We have expressed P-glycoprotein (P-gp) encoded by the mouse mdr3 gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and have developed an experimental protocol to isolate and purify inside-out plasma membrane vesicles (IOVs) from these cells. Biochemical characterization of IOVs from control and P-gp-expressing cells isolated by this procedure show that they are greatly enriched for plasma membrane markers, are tightly sealed, and are competent for D-glucose transport. P-gp expression in these vesicles results in the appearance of a specific ATP-dependent and temperature-sensitive transport of the drugs colchicine and vinblastine that is osmotically sensitive. P-gp-mediated drug transport into these IOVs is inhibited by a known P-gp modulator, verapamil, and can be abrogated by prior incubation of the IOVs with an anti-P-gp antibody. A Ser-939-->Phe mutation within the predicted transmembrane domain 11 of P-gp, which is known to modulate its function in mammalian cells, drastically reduces drug transport in IOVs obtained from yeast cells expressing the mutant protein. The successful demonstration of active drug transport into IOVs from P-gp-expressing yeast cells indicates that P-gp can mediate both chemotherapeutic drugs and a-pheromone transport in yeast cells.

In several multidrug resistant tumor cell lines without overexpression of P-glycoprotein (non-Pgp MDR), a decreased accumulation of drugs has been shown to contribute to resistance. We have recently reported that daunorubicin (DNR) accumulation was decreased in the multidrug resistance-associated protein overexpressing GLC4/ADR non-Pgp MDR small cell lung cancer cell line due to an enhanced energy-dependent efflux which could be inhibited by the isoflavonoid genistein. The purpose of this work was 2-fold: (i) to investigate the mechanism by which genistein inhibits the DNR efflux in the GLC4/ADR cells; and (ii) to characterize the dependence of DNR transport on ATP concentration in intact GLC4/ADR cells. The active transport of DNR in GLC4/ADR cells appeared to be a saturable process with an apparent Km of DNR of 1.4 +/- 0.4 microM. Genistein increased the apparent Km value of DNR, suggesting that this agent is a competitive inhibitor of DNR transport. These data provide additional evidence that energy-dependent DNR transport in GLC4/ADR cells is a protein-mediated process. In addition, genistein decreased cellular ATP concentration in a dose-dependent manner in sensitive as well as in resistant cells. Marked inhibition of DNR transport activity in intact GLC4/ADR cells was found when cellular ATP concentration was decreased below 2 mM by sodium azide or 2-deoxy-D-glucose. Thus, since DNR transport in intact GLC4/ADR is already inhibited at modest cellular ATP depletion, a limitation in ATP supply might open ways to make MDR cells more susceptible to drug toxicity.

We previously isolated and characterized a partially purified preparation of ATPase-active P-glycoprotein, the multidrug transporter (Doige, C.A., Yu, X. and Sharom, F.J. (1992) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1109, 149-160). The effect of various detergents and membrane phospholipids on the ATPase activity of P-glycoprotein has now been investigated. P-Glycoprotein ATPase activity was most stable in CHAPS, with over 50% of the activity retained at a concentration of 8 mM. Octyl glucoside in the low mM range also supported the ATPase, while deoxycholate destroyed all activity at 1 mM. Digitonin and SDS inhibited ATPase activity at very low concentrations. Triton X-100 at 2-10 microM stimulated the ATPase almost 2-fold, while higher levels inhibited activity. Although P-glycoprotein ATPase was sensitive to thermal inactivation, full activity was preserved in the presence of asolectin, but not phosphatidylcholine species. Further studies revealed that asolectin, both saturated and unsaturated phosphatidylethanolamines, and phosphatidylserine, were best able to maintain ATPase activity at 23 degrees C. Saturated phosphatidylethanolamine species activated P-glycoprotein ATPase up to 40% at 23 degrees C, and 80% at 4 degrees C. Following detergent delipidation, various lipids were able to restore P-glycoprotein ATPase activity. Unsaturated phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine were most effective, while saturated species were not able to restore catalytic activity. These results indicate that membrane lipids are necessary for catalytic activity of the ATPase domains of P-glycoprotein. P-Glycoprotein has well-defined lipid preferences, with saturated phosphatidylethanolamines both activating the ATPase and providing protection from thermal inactivation, while fluid lipid mixtures are able to restore activity following delipidation.

Binding protein-dependent transport systems mediate the accumulation of several ions, sugars, amino acids, and peptides in Gram-negative bacteria by using the energy of ATP hydrolysis and belong to a superfamily of membrane proteins which extends to eukaryotic cells and includes the multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. The binding protein-dependent galactose transport system of Salmonella typhimurium comprises four proteins which have been characterized previously by molecular cloning experiments (51,000-dalton MglA protein, with a stable proteolytic product of 38,000 daltons, 33,000-dalton MglB protein, 29,000-dalton MglC protein, 21,000-dalton MglE protein). By using a MglA hyperproducing strain, we have purified a galactose-stimulated ATPase which shows a single band in polyacrylamide gels under nondenaturing conditions and shows three bands at 51,000, 38,000, and 15,000 daltons on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (our results suggest that the bands at 38,000 and 15,000 daltons represent proteolytic products of the 51,000-dalton protein). The ATPase activity coincides with the purified protein during the two last chromatographic steps of the purification procedure, and it cannot be isolated from a strain which does not contain the mglA gene. The MglA ATPase is stimulated 3-fold by galactose and hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and Pi (Km ATP = 60 microM, Ka galactose = 0.3 mM, Vmax = 140 nmol/min/mg of protein). The gamma-phosphate of ATP is transferred neither to galactose nor to the protein itself. Vanadate, N-ethylmaleimide and 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, a specific inhibitor of binding protein-dependent transport systems, inhibit the MglA ATPase.

We have established a quantitative flow cytometry system to elucidate the causal role of P-glycoprotein in the phenomenon of multidrug resistance. We have used this method to analyze the accumulation and release of adriamycin (ADM) in intact L5178Y and L5178Y/VMDR/C.06 (L5178Y/R) cells, by determining the effect of sodium orthovanadate (Na3VO4), verapamil, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and physiologically operative materials on the cells. Based on the experiments, we prepared a standard solution that contained NaCl, D-glucose, L-cysteine, HCO3- and BSA, which was sufficient to perform transport experiments. In particular, BSA caused a decrease in ADM accumulation and a facilitation of the rate of ADM release in both L5178Y and L5178Y/R cells, probably due to its relatively high affinity for ADM as compared to the cell membrane. In multidrug-resistant L5178Y/R cells, sodium orthovanadate, a strong ATP-binding inhibitor, caused a marked increase in the accumulation of ADM, whereas vanadate-treated drug-sensitive L5178Y cells showed little increase in ADM accumulation. In a release (0-trans exit) experiment, vanadate-treated L5178Y/R cells exhibited an apparent decrease in ADM release (increase in ADM retention), to a level which was almost the same as L5178Y cells. We thus confirmed that the P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux system is coupled with P-glycoprotein-associated ATP-hydrolysis. Further, verapamil, a potent inhibitor of P-glycoprotein-mediated transport, facilitated the ADM accumulation in L5178Y/R cells up to the level of L5178Y and vanadate-treated L5178Y/R cells. A more important finding is that, in the release experiment, verapamil-treated L5178Y/R cells exhibited a much greater ADM retention than drug-sensitive L5178Y and vanadate-treated L5178Y/R cells. These findings, in particular the potent effect of verapamil on drug-resistant cells, may afford new insight into the pathophysiology of the phenomenon of multidrug resistance and the mechanism of action of the multidrug transporter.

The mechanisms of intestinal permeation of several beta-lactam antibiotics and anionic compounds were studied in vitro using excised rat intestinal segments. Permeation of cefazolin through jejunum, ileum and colon was highly secretory-oriented; serosal-to-mucosal permeation rates were two- to three-fold greater than mucosal-to-serosal permeation rates. Serosal-to-mucosal permeation decreased in the absence of D-glucose, and mucosal-to-serosal permeation increased, indicating that the preferential secretory transport of cefazolin is energy dependent. Ampicillin permeation across rat jejunum also favored secretion, whereas the permeation of cefaclor and cephradine favored absorption. Because cefazolin is anionic, several structurally unrelated anionic compounds were also tested. Of these only phenol red exhibited preferential serosal-to-mucosal permeation. The intestinal permeation of phenol red was concentration dependent and glucose dependent. Verapamil and a monoclonal antibody to P-glycoprotein only modestly and inconsistently affected the permeation of cefazolin, ampicillin and phenol red. Probenecid and guanidine were much more effective inhibitors of cefazolin and phenol red secretion. Mutual interactions between cefazolin and phenol red were also observed. These results show that the rat intestine has the capability for net secretory transport of some hydrophilic, anionic compounds. Transport of these compounds has some of the characteristics of organic anion and organic cation transport systems.

We have previously shown that the hypersensitivity of KB MDR cells to 2-deoxy-D-glucose is associated with diminished plasma membrane GLUT-1 levels compared with parental, non-MDR cells. Here we report that MDR cells are hypersensitive to the N-linked glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin, which induces partial inhibition of GLUT-1 glycosylation and diminishes GLUT-1-mediated transport. The effect of tunicamycin, which also enhances the hypersensitivity of MDR cells to 2-deoxy-D-glucose, could not be attributed to alterations in P-glycoprotein activity. The use of agents that act synergistically to diminish the level and activity of GLUT-1 in MDR cells may be of clinical potential.
