Human KB carcinoma C-A120 cells that express multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) were cross-resistant to trivalent and pentavalent antimonials and arsenicals. Intracellular glutathione (GSH) content was higher in C-A120 than its parental KB-3-1 cell line. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) was similar in both cell lines. Depletion of cellular GSH by treatment of the cells with the inhibitor of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS), buthione sulfoximine (BSO), significantly increased the sensitivity of both KB-3-1 and C-A120 cells to heavy metals. A pyridine analog, PAK-104P, almost completely reversed the resistance to antimonials and arsenicals in C-A120 cells. BSO at 100 microM or PAK-104P at 10 microM enhanced the accumulation of antimony potassium tartrate in C-A120 cells to the level of that in KB-3-1 cells without the agents. PAK-104P inhibited the ATP-dependent efflux of antimony potassium tartrate. These findings suggest that MRP transports antimony conjugated with GSH ATP-dependently outside the cells and PAK-104P inhibits the transporting activity of MRP.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of newly synthesized 4-aryl-1,4-dihydropyridine and pyridines on drug efflux mediated by multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1). These compounds were designed to maximize inhibition of P-glycoprotein and minimize calcium channel binding activity, based on structure modifications of niguldipine. A [3H]vinblastine accumulation study was conducted in human small cell lung cancer H69AR (overexpressing MRP1) and wild type H69 cells. Five out of 16 dihydropyridines and 6 out of 9 pyridines were found to significantly increase the intracellular accumulation of vinblastine in resistant H69AR cells (p<0.01) at a concentration of 2.5 microM. Daunomycin accumulation studies, determined using a flow cytometric assay, were also performed in H69AR and human pancreatic adenocarcinoma Panc-1 cells and the results were highly correlated with those obtained from the [3H]vinblastine accumulation studies. Four compounds, which significantly increased vinblastine accumulation, were tested for their effect on daunomycin cytotoxicity in H69AR cells and found to significantly decrease the IC50 of daunomycin, confirming the accumulation study results. Compounds were also tested for their effect on intracellular glutathione (GSH) concentrations, a cosubstrate for MRP1-mediated efflux in H69AR and Panc-1 cells. No significant changes in the intracellular GSH level were observed in H69AR cells after treatment with these test compounds. However, following a 2-hr and 24-hr incubation with a dihydropyridine compound, Im, and its pyridine derivative IIm, there was a small (approximately 20%) but statistically significant decrease in intracellular GSH in Panc-1 cells. Our results indicate that some dihydropyridine and pyridine compounds in our series could inhibit MRP1-mediated transport and that GSH modulation plays a minor, if any, role in this effect.

We have studied the role of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters in fetal exposure to carcinogens using 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) a known substrate for ABC transporters as a model compound. In perfusion of human term placenta, transfer of (14)C-PhIP (2 microM) through the placenta resulted in fetal-to-maternal concentration ratio (FM ratio) of 0.72+/-0.09 at 6 h. The specific ABCG2 inhibitor KO143 increased the transfer of (14)C-PhIP from maternal to fetal circulation (FM ratio 0.90+/-0.08 at 6 h, p<0.05) while the ABCC1/ABCC2 inhibitor probenecid had no effect (FM ratio at 6 h 0.75+/-0.10, p=0.84). There was a negative correlation between the expression of ABCG2 protein in perfused tissue and the FM ratio of (14)C-PhIP (R=-0.81, p<0.01) at the end of the perfusion. The expression of ABCC2 protein did not correlate with FM ratio of PhIP (R: -0.11, p=0.76). In addition, PhIP induced the expression of ABC transporters in BeWo cells at mRNA level. In conclusion, our data indicates that ABCG2 decreases placental transfer of (14)C-PhIP in perfused human placenta. Also, PhIP may modify ABC transporter expression in choriocarcinoma cells.
