Plasma membranes were prepared from the P-glycoprotein expressing human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 ADR. [3H]Vinblastine bound to these membranes saturably with a Bmax of 24 pmol/mg of protein and KD of 23 nM. In contrast, membranes from the parent cells MCF-7 WT, which do not express P-glycoprotein, did not bind [3H]vinblastine with high affinity. Cytotoxics known to be transported by P-glycoprotein inhibited the binding of [3H]vinblastine, as did multidrug reversing agents including the 1,4-dihydropyridine, dexniguldipine-HCl (Ki, 15 nM). In dissociation kinetic experiments, dexniguldipine-HCl accelerated the dissociation of [3H]vinblastine from P-glycoprotein, indicating a negative heterotropic allosteric mechanism of action through a drug binding site distinct from that of vinblastine. Other 1,4-dihydropyridines tested also accelerated [3H]vinblastine dissociation from P-glycoprotein, however, multidrug reversing drugs of different chemical classes, including quinidine, verapamil and cyclosporin A did not. These results suggest that P-glycoprotein of MCF-7 ADR cell membranes possesses at least two drug acceptor sites which are allosterically coupled: receptor site-1 which binds vinca alkaloids, and receptor site-2 which binds 1,4-dihydropyridines such as dexniguldipine-HCl, which had the highest affinity of the tested derivatives.

Previous studies have shown that multidrug resistance (MDR) in the doxorubicin-selected lung tumour cell lines COR-L23/R, GLC4/ADR and MOR/R is associated with overexpression of the MRP gene. In this study we report that resistance to daunorubicin, vincristine and rhodamine 123 can be partially reversed in these cell lines by exposing the cells to buthionine sulphoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione (GSH) synthesis. This effect of BSO on drug resistance was associated with an increased intracellular accumulation of daunorubicin and rhodamine 123, owing to inhibition of the enhanced drug efflux. In contrast, the accumulation of daunorubicin was not increased by BSO treatment in a P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated MDR cell line. BSO treatment (25 microM, 20 h) of the cell lines resulted in 60-80% depletion of cellular GSH levels. The effects of BSO on daunorubicin accumulation in the COR-L23/R and GLC4/ADR cells were associated with cellular GSH depletion. In addition, increase of cellular GSH levels in BSO-treated COR-L23/R and GLC4/ADR cells as a result of incubation with 5 mM GSH ethyl ester restored the accumulation deficit of daunorubicin. However, the transport of daunorubicin did not increase the GSH release in any of the cell lines. These results demonstrate that drug transport in MRP- but not in P-gp-overexpressing MDR tumour cell lines can be regulated by intracellular GSH levels.

To evaluate the expression of multidrug resistance (MDR) on normal and leukemia cells, we examined P-glycoprotein (P-gp) by a newly devised flow cytometric method, utilizing a biotinylated monoclonal antibody (mAb) against P-gp (MRK16), a streptavidin-RED670 conjugate (SA-RED670) and appropriate emission filters. The combination of biotinylated MRK16 (b-MRK16) and SA-RED670 resulted in higher sensitivity as compared with standard methods such as the use of streptavidin-phycoerythrin (SA-PE) conjugate. The sensitivity was examined in K562, K562/ADR, NOMO-1, NOMO-1/ADR and HL60 cells, and compared with the data obtained from reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of mdr-1 gene. P-gp positivity on flow cytometry was 10.4%, 99.9%, 1.4%, 90.4% and 0%, respectively. Mdr-1 mRNA was well expressed in K562/ADR and NOMO-1/ADR cells, but not in NOMO-1 and HL60 cells. In K562 cells, mdr-1 was found after 40 cycles of PCR, but not 25 cycles. These data are well correlated with those from the flow cytometry. We then studied the P-gp expression on normal peripheral blood cells and acute leukemia cells. P-gp was little expressed on peripheral lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes. It was also little expressed on blast cells from 5 patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (AML) and 5 acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) expressed P-gp at diagnosis, ranging from 8.5% to 34.5% (16.9 +/- 11.8%) and from 2.3% to 45.6% (24.0 +/- 17.8%), respectively. All 9 relapsed or refractory cases expressed P-gp, ranging from 21.1% to 99.8% (52.2 +/- 29.9%). Significant differences were found in APL, CD34-positive and relapse and refractory cases (P = 0.0006, 0.0007 and 0.0088, respectively). These results indicate that this flow cytometric analysis is useful for the evaluation of clinical MDR status and can identify a group of patients with resistant leukemia.

P-glycoprotein is an energy-dependent drug extrusion pump for a variety of anticancer drugs and is involved in the development of multidrug resistance in cancer. Dexniguldipine-HCl is a potent chemosensitizer for P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance in vitro, and clinical phase I/II trials are underway. To investigate the mechanisms of chemosensitization and to identify the binding sites for dexniguldipine-HCl on target proteins involved in chemosensitization, [3H]B9209-005, an azido derivative of dexniguldipine-HCl, was synthesized and used as a photoaffinity ligand. In two models of multidrug resistance reversal, i.e., sensitization to vincristine and modulation of rhodamine-123 uptake, B9209-005 and dexniguldipine-HCl showed identical biological activities. Photoaffinity labeling experiments with [3H]B9209-005 in cell membranes from multidrug-resistant CCRF ADR-5000 cells, in comparison with labeling experiments with [3H]azidopine (an established photoaffinity ligand for P-glycoprotein), showed that [3H]B9209-005 labeled two proteins, with apparent molecular masses of 170 and 95 kDa. The pharmacological specificity of labeling was demonstrated by inhibition of photoincorporation by several cytostatic drugs transported by P-glycoprotein, as well as by chemosensitizers. Immunoprecipitation of the labeled proteins with the P-glycoprotein-specific monoclonal antibody C 219 and with a site-directed polyclonal antibody to the amino-terminal sequence of P-glycoprotein (amino acids 389-406) identified these proteins as intact P-glycoprotein and the amino-terminal fragment thereof. No specific labeling was obtained in the drug-sensitive parent cell line CCRF-CEM, which is devoid of significant P-glycoprotein expression. Maximal labeling of 17 pmol of the 170-kDa protein/mg of crude membrane protein was obtained. The affinity of [3H]B9209-005 for binding to and photoincorporation into P-glycoprotein was 5-fold greater than that of [3H]azidopine, and photoincorporation of [3H]B9209-005 showed a different photoincorporation pattern, compared with [3H]azidopine, in that the latter compound was incorporated specifically into the carboxyl-terminal 55-kDa fragment of P-glycoprotein. In contrast to [3H]azidopine, no specific labeling of this fragment was obtained with [3H]B9209-005, indicating different binding sites for or different photoincorporation of the two dihydropyridine ligands. Because B9209-005 carries the photoreactive azido group in the dihydropyridine moiety, whereas the azido group of azidopine is located in the side chain, these results suggest that the dihydropyridine moiety of the two compounds probably interacts with the amino-terminal part of P-glycoprotein, whereas the side chains react preferentially with the carboxyl-terminal 55-kDa fragment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Dithiane analogues of tiapamil are highly active as modifiers of P-glycoprotein mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) in vitro. In an assay using the P-glycoprotein over-expressing cell line KB-8-5, the most active analogues for decreasing vincristine resistance were the racemate Ro 11-5160 and its two enantiomers, Ro 44-5911 (R) and Ro 44-5912 (S). In the KB-8-5 assay, the resistance modification index (RMI) of Ro 11-5160 was approximately 12-fold higher than those of the most active reference compounds tested, dipyridamole, cepharanthine, reserpine and cyclosporin A, when compared at concentrations equal to one-tenth of the IC50 of each compound (RMI0.1). The enantiomers have similar resistance modifying activities, but the (S) enantiomer Ro 44-5912 is somewhat more active, fully reverting the vincristine sensitivity of KB-8-5 cells to the level of the parental KB-3-1 cells at a concentration of 2 microM. The (R) enantiomer attained this level of modification at a concentration of 3.5 microM. These concentrations are both well below their IC50 values for KB-8-5 cells (150 microM). The enantiomers appear to interact with P-glycoprotein because they inhibited [3H]azidopine and [3H]-vinblastine binding to plasma membrane fractions prepared from resistant K562/ADR cells. However, in addition to their resistance modifying activities with KB-8-5 cells, these compounds also decreased the IC50 values of vincristine and doxorubicin with KB-3-1 cells that do not express detectable levels of P-glycoprotein. Ro 44-5911 overcame doxorubicin and vincristine resistance in three colorectal cancer cell lines (DLD-1, WiDr and COLO 201) that express P-glycoprotein. No effect was seen with the 3 colorectal cell lines on the IC50 values of three drugs not related to the MDR phenotype, 5-fluorouracil, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine and cis-diaminodichloroplatinum (II). The in vitro vasodilatory activity of these dithianes, measured with strips of rat aorta contracted with KCl, was about 5% of that of verapamil. These results suggest that diathianes could be useful agents for MDR modification in vivo.

In malignant cells multidrug resistance (MDR) is frequently associated with the expression of a 170 KDa P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in the plasma membrane. P-gp acts as an ATP-dependent efflux pump causing a decreased intracellular accumulation of structurally unrelated natural anticancer agents such as anthracyclines. Doxorubicin (DX) resistance is mostly related to the multidrug resistance gene product P-gp. In our experiments the revertant activity of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in comparison to that of the well known revertant agent verapamil (VRP) was investigated. In vitro tests were carried out on a DX-resistant variant (CG5/DX) obtained in our laboratory from the parental CG5 human breast cancer cell line by continuous exposure to the drug. The ability of MPA to modulate intracellular DX accumulation and to reverse MDR was evaluated. MPA appeared more active than VRP in reversing MDR, suggesting a possible role of this synthetic progestin as chemosensitizing agent in the clinical management of anthracycline-resistant breast cancer.

A novel multidrug resistance modulator, RS-33295-198, circumvented drug resistance in human, mouse, and Chinese hamster cell lines overexpressing P-glycoprotein. It enhanced the antiproliferative activity of doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, and paclitaxel and increased doxorubicin retention in multidrug-resistant hamster CHRC5 cells. RS-33295-198 modulated doxorubicin resistance in a murine P388/ADR leukemia model when administered ip via continuous minipump delivery, ip by bolus injection, and orally; it also improved the efficacy of vincristine toward P388/VCR leukemia when given ip or po. RS-33295-198 showed weak activity in enhancing doxorubicin efficacy against a multidrug-resistant human sarcoma xenograft.

We describe here investigations into the ability of a tiapamil derivative, Ro44-5912 to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR) in doxorubicin (ADR)-resistant murine leukemic P388 cells. This compound has the formula: C27H39NO4S2.1:2C6H8O6, a M. W. of 858 and is structurally similar to verapamil, an established inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (PGP). We have compared the MDR modulating properties of Ro44-5912 with verapamil in P388ADR cells. Doxorubicin concentration required to achieve 50% inhibition of growth (IC50) for P388ADR cells was found to be 24 microM. In contrast, treatment of P388ADR cells with Doxorubicin and 3 microM verapamil decreased the IC50 value to 2.5 microM. A further decrease was observed with 3 microM Ro44-5912 treatment, where an IC50 value of 1.1 microM was obtained. Doxorubicin accumulation was also determined by flow cytometry in order to determine whether the increased levels of chemosensitivity observed for Ro44-5912 were reflected by increased cellular drug uptake. The results revealed that Ro44-5912, at equivalent concentration, increased doxorubicin accumulation in P388ADR cells beyond that obtained with verapamil whereas no effects were seen with the parental P388 cells. The effect of Ro44-5912 on the binding of C219 monoclonal antibody to PGP in MDR cells was also studied and found not to decrease C219 expression on P388ADR cells.

A cDNA encoding the novel drug resistance gene, LRP (originally termed lung resistance-related protein), was isolated from HT1080/DR4, a 220-fold doxorubicin-resistant human fibrosarcoma cell line which displays a multidrug resistance phenotype and overexpresses the multidrug resistance protein (MRP) but does not overexpress P-glycoprotein encoded by the MDR1 gene. Using the full-length 2.8-kb cDNA probe, the gene for LRP was regionally localized to the 16p13.1-16p11.2 chromosomal segment in human metaphases. Dual color fluorescence in situ hybridization studies refined the localization of LRP to 16p11.2, a location approximately 27 cM proximal to MRP (16p13.1). Two color hybridization studies indicated that HT1080/DR4 fibrosarcoma cells contain amplification of both the MRP and LRP genes in a striking striped pattern in the homogeneously staining region, hsr(7)(p12p15). In contrast, only amplified MRP gene sequences were contained within the homogeneously staining region, hsr(18q). Amplification of LRP was not identified in any of seven other drug-resistant tumor cell lines characterized by 20-300-fold levels of doxorubicin resistance, including two cell lines known to overexpress LRP (SW1573/2R120 and GLC4/ADR). Amplified MRP gene sequences were identified in H69AR, GLC4/ADR, and HL-60/AR whereas only MDR1 gene amplification was observed in the S1B120 colon carcinoma cell line. These data indicate that although both the MRP and LRP genes map to the short arm of chromosome 16, they are rarely coamplified and are not normally located within the same amplicon. A key role for chromosome breakage in gene amplification is supported by the presence of non-random karyotypic anomalies near the MRP and LRP normal cellular loci.

Cell membranes were prepared from the multidrug resistant, P-glycoprotein expressing human lymphoblastoid cell line CCRF-ADR 5000. The P-glycoprotein of these membranes possessed high affinity binding sites for [3H]vinblastine, with a Kd of 8 +/- 2 nM and Bmax of 17 +/- 8 pmol/mg of protein. The binding of [3H]vinblastine to P-glycoprotein was not ATP-dependent, and was inhibited by cytotoxic drugs with the following potency order; vincristine > doxorubicin > etoposide. The 1,4-dihydropyridine and multidrug resistance reversing agent, dexniguldipine-HCl, inhibited binding with a Ki value of 37 nM. The multidrug resistance reversing agent cyclosporin A, and the cytotoxics doxorubicin and etoposide did not alter the kinetics of [3H]vinblastine dissociation from P-glycoprotein; however, the 1,4-dihydropyridines dexniguldipine-HCl and nicardipine accelerated dissociation of [3H]vinblastine. These data suggest that P-glycoprotein possesses at least two allosterically coupled drug acceptor sites; receptor site 1 which binds vinblastine, doxorubucin, etoposide and cyclosporin A, and receptor site 2 which binds dexniguldipine-HCl and other 1,4-dihydropyridines.
