Gene expression of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and newly multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) was found to correlate well with primary 5-FU resistance in 7 human gastrointestinal cancer cell lines. Although mRNA and protein levels of thymidylate synthase (TS) did not relate to the resistance, 5-FU treatment revealed a remarkable increase of TS expression. Such enhanced TS expression was more significant than DPD and MRP, and observed less in 5-FU sensitive cells. DPD and MRP expression levels can predict primary 5-FU resistance, and TS may be a potent predictor of cellular 5-FU resistance after 5-FU treatment.

The synergistic mechanism of cisplatin (CDDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in combination remains unclear, despite its substantial antitumor activity, which has been demonstrated clinically. To clarify the mechanism(s), we determined the sensitivity or resistance factors to either drug in seven gastrointestinal cancer cell lines and then analyzed the altered gene expression after different exposures to CDDP and 5-FU. At the basal gene expression level, glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTpi) expression correlated with the observed resistance to CDDP, whereas dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) expression was related to 5-FU resistance. GSTpi, DPD, and MRP expression increased in response to the respective drug, but they also increased in response to the other drug as well. Additionally, 5-FU revealed a drastically increased thymidylate synthase (TS) gene expression in 5-FU-resistant cells. However, the increasing actions of CDDP and 5-FU on GSTpi, DPD, MRP, and TS expression varied according to the exposure time, concentration, and schedule. A low concentration of CDDP (1 microg/ml, 30 min) followed by 5-FU (0.5 microg/ml, 72 h) was found to cause a less increased expression of DPD, MRP, GSTpi, and TS than either drug alone, thus resulting in synergistic cytotoxicity in 5-FU-resistant COLO201 and CDDP-resistant HCC-48 cells. The sequential combination of CDDP and 5-FU inhibited the growth of human normal renal proximal tubule cells by less than 20%. Low concentrations of CDDP followed by continuous exposure to 5-FU can repress increased gene expression related to both drug resistances, thereby being synergistically cytotoxic in human gastrointestinal cancer cells.

S-1 is a newly developed dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase inhibitory fluoropyrimidine that exhibits high clinical efficacy against non-small cell lung cancers. To identify genes that may be associated with chemosensitivity to the antitumor drug S-1, we used a low density array representing 93 genes to analyze expression profiles in 4 orthotopically implanted lung cancers derived from human lung cancer cell lines (Lu99, Lu130, LC6 and A549). The tumor growth inhibition (TGI) rates of S-1 in orthotopically implanted tumors of the Lu99, Lu130, LC6 and A549 cell lines were 34.6, 37.5, 32.1 and 3.6%, respectively. The expression of the PRSS3, ABCC4, TXN, SHMT1 and CMPK genes was significantly promoted in the orthotopically implanted SCID mouse model of the 4 lung cancer cell lines by the administration of S-1, while the expression of the LMO7 and FOLH1 genes was significantly suppressed. The expression of the ABCC1, 2 and TST genes was negatively correlated with TGI. The expression of the TK1 and ERCC2 genes was positively correlated with TGI. The results of the present study suggest that the expression of the ABCC1, 2, TST, TK1 and ERCC2 genes is related to resistance to the antitumor drug S-1.
