Multidrug resistance remains a major obstacle in the effective treatment of metastatic breast cancer. One mechanism by which multidrug resistance is conferred is the decreased intracellular drug accumulation due to the upregulation of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. We have previously demonstrated that jadomycins, polyketide-derived natural products produced by Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230, inhibit the growth of the human breast ductal carcinoma cell lines T47D and MDA-MB-435. To expand our understanding of jadomycin pharmacology, the goal of the present study was to determine whether the function of ABC efflux transporters affects the anticancer activity of jadomycins to MCF7 breast cancer cells. Seven jadomycin analogs (DNV, B, L, SPhG, F, S, and T) effectively reduced the viability of MCF7 control and ABCB1-, ABCC1-, or ABCG2-overexpressing drug-resistant MCF7 breast cancer cells as measured by methyltetrazolium cell viability assays and lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity assays. The inhibition of ABCB1, ABCC1, or ABCG2 with verapamil, MK-571, or Ko-143, respectively, did not augment the cytotoxicity of jadomycins DNV, B, L, SPhG, F, S, or T in drug-resistant MCF7 cells. Furthermore, jadomycins B, L, SPhG, F, S, and T did not increase the intracellular accumulation of ABCB1, ABCC1, or ABCG2 fluorescent substrates in HEK-293 cells stably transfected with ABCB1, ABCC1, or ABCG2. We conclude that jadomycins B, L, SPhG, F, S, and T are effective agents in the eradication of MCF7 breast cancer cells grown in culture, and that their cytotoxicities are minimally affected by ABCB1, ABCC1, and ABCG2 efflux transporter function.

Lapatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is used in the treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer overexpressing human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2). Lapatinib can modulate the function of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters (ABCB1 and ABCG2), which are the major mechanism responsible for multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer. In this study, we investigated the effect of lapatinib on multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1 [ABCC1]), MRP2 (ABCC2), MRP4 (ABCC4) and lung relative resistance protein (LRP) drug efflux pumps. We demonstrated that lapatinib could enhance the efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutic agents in MRP1-overexpressing cells in vitro and in vivo, but no effect in MRP2-, MPR4- and LRP-overexpressing cells. Furthermore, lapatinib significantly increased the accumulation of rhodamine 123 (Rho123) and doxorubicin (DOX) in MRP1-overexpressing cells. However, lapatinib did not alter the protein or mRNA expression levels of MRP1. Further studies showed that the level of phosphorylation of AKT and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) were not altered at the indicated concentrations of lapatinib. In conclusion, lapatinib enhanced the efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutic agents in MRP1-overexpressing cells by inhibiting MRP1 transport function without altering the level of AKT or ERK1/2 phosphorylation. These findings will encourage the clinical research of lapatinib combined with conventional chemotherapeutic drugs in MRP1-overexpressing cancer patients.
