Although many of the clinically significant drug interactions of the anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors (PIs) can be explained by their propensity to inactivate CYP3A enzymes, paradoxically these drugs cause (or lack) interactions with CYP3A substrates that cannot be explained by this mechanism (e.g., alprazolam). To better understand these paradoxical interactions (or lack thereof), we determined the cytochromes P450 and transporters induced by various concentrations (0-25 microM) of two PIs, ritonavir and nelfinavir, and rifampin (positive control) in primary human hepatocytes. At 10 microM, ritonavir and nelfinavir suppressed CYP3A4 activity but induced its transcripts and protein expression (19- and 12- and 12- and 6-fold, respectively; a >2-fold change over control was interpreted as induction). At 10 microM, rifampin induced CYP3A4 transcripts, CYP3A protein, and activity by 23-, 12-, and 13-fold, respectively. The induction by rifampin of CYP3A activity was significantly correlated with its induction of CYP3A4 transcripts (r = 0.96, p < 0.05) and CYP3A protein (r = 0.89, p < 0.05). All three drugs (10 microM) induced CYP2B6 activity by 2- to 4-fold, CYP2C8 and 2C9 activity by 2- to 4-fold and the transcripts of CYP2B6, 2C8, and 2C9 by >3-, 5-, and 3-fold, respectively. CYP2C19 and 1A2 activity and transcripts were modestly induced (2-fold), whereas, as expected, CYP2D6 was not induced by any of the drugs. Of the transporters studied, protease inhibitors moderately induced multidrug resistance 1 (ABCB1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (ABCC1) transcripts but had no or minimal effect on the transcripts of breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2), organic anion-transporting peptide (OATP) 1B1 (SLCO1B1), or OATP1B3 (SLCO1B3). On the basis of these data, we concluded that many of the paradoxical drug interactions (or lack thereof) with the PIs are metabolismrather than transporter-based and are due to induction of CYP2B6 and 2C enzymes.

The multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype is often attributed to the activity of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters such as P-glycoprotein (ABCB1). Previous work has suggested that modulation of MDR may not necessarily be a single gene trait. To identify factors that contribute to the emergence of MDR, we undertook integrative genomics analysis of the ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3 and a series of MDR derivatives of this line (SKVCRs). As resistance increased, comparative analysis of gene expression showed conspicuous activation of a network of genes in addition to ABCB1. Functional annotation and pathway analysis revealed that many of these genes were associated with the extracellular matrix and had previously been implicated in tumor invasion and cell proliferation. Further investigation by whole genome tiling-path array CGH suggested that changes in gene dosage were key to the activation of several of these overexpressed genes. Remarkably, alignment of whole genome profiles for SKVCR lines revealed the emergence and decline of specific segmental DNA alterations. The most prominent alteration was a novel amplicon residing at 16p13 that encompassed the ABC transporter genes ABCC1 and ABCC6. Loss of this amplicon in highly resistant SKVCR lines coincided with the emergence of a different amplicon at 7q21.12, which harbors ABCB1. Integrative analysis suggests that multiple genes are activated during escalation of drug resistance, including a succession of ABC transporter genes and genes that may act synergistically with ABCB1. These results suggest that evolution of the MDR phenotype is a dynamic, multi-genic process in the genomes of cancer cells.

Anthracyline antibiotics, produced by Streptomyces sp., still rank among the most efficient anticancer drugs in clinical use. Aim of this study was to gain deeper insight into the anticancer properties of the anthracycline-related angucycline landomycin E (LE). The impact of LE on nuclear morphology was assessed by 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining in the human carcinoma cell model KB-3-1. LE treatment led to the appearance of typical morphological signs of programmed cell death like cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation and formation of apoptotic bodies. Apoptotic cell death induced by LE was further characterised by caspase (substrate) cleavage and intense mitochondrial membrane depolarisation (JC-1 and rhodamine 123 staining) already after 1h drug incubation. Moreover, incubation with LE led to reduced intracellular ATP pools suggesting LE-induced apoptotic cell death as a consequence of rapid mitochondrial damage. Furthermore, LE treatment led to profound generation of intracellular oxidative stress, indicated by radical scavenger pre-treatment and dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA) staining experiments. Since chemoresistance is a common problem in cancer therapy, we also investigated the influence of ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein, P-gp), ABCC1 (multidrug resistance-related protein, MRP1) and ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein, BCRP) overexpression on the anticancer activity of LE. Compared to anthracyclines, cytotoxic activity of LE was only weakly reduced by P-gp and MRP1 overexpression. Moreover, BCRP expression had no influence on LE anticancer activity. In summary, LE exerts anticancer activity via potent induction of apoptosis and has promising anticancer activity even against multidrug resistant (MDR) cells. Taken together, these data suggest further development of LE as a new anticancer drug.

Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is becoming indispensable to the study of transgene expression during development and, in many in vivo models of disease such as cancer, for high throughput drug screening in vitro. Because reaction of d-luciferin with firefly luciferase (fLuc) produces photons of sufficiently long wavelength to permit imaging in intact animals, use of this substrate and enzyme pair has become the method of choice for performing BLI in vivo. We now show that expression of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family transporter ABCG2/BCRP affects BLI signal output from the substrate d-luciferin. In vitro studies show that d-luciferin is a substrate for ABCG2/BCRP but not for the MDR1 P-glycoprotein (ABCB1/Pgp), multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1), or multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2). d-Luciferin uptake within cells is shown to be modulated by ABC transporter inhibitors, including the potent and selective ABCG2/BCRP inhibitor fumitremorgin C. Images of xenografts engineered to express transgenic ABCG2/BCRP, as well as xenografts derived from the human prostate cancer cell line 22Rv1 that naturally express ABCG2/BCRP, show that ABCG2/BCRP expression and function within regions of interest substantially influence d-luciferin-dependent bioluminescent output in vivo. These findings highlight the need to consider ABCG2/BCRP effects during d-luciferin-based BLI and suggest novel high throughput methods for identifying new ABCG2/BCRP inhibitors.

Clinically relevant resistance to the currently approved camptothecins, irinotecan and topotecan, is poorly understood but may involve increased expression of ATP-dependent drug transporters such as ABCG2 (breast cancer resistant protein, BCRP). Gimatecan (ST1481) is a lipophilic 7-substituted camptothecin derivative that exhibits potent anti-tumor activity in a variety of preclinical cancer models and is under investigation in the clinic. Previous studies reported that gimatecan cytotoxicity was not affected by expression of ABCG2. To confirm and extend this finding, we assessed the cytotoxicity of gimatecan in pairs of isogenic cell lines consisting of transfectants expressing either ABCG2 (including wild-type, R482T, or R482G mutants), ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein), ABCC1 (MRP1), ABCC2 (MRP2), or ABCC4 (MRP4). Expression of wild-type or mutant ABCG2 in human cell lines conferred resistance to topotecan but not to gimatecan. Similarly, intracellular accumulation of gimatecan was unaffected by expression of wild-type ABCG2. Furthermore, expression of P-glycoprotein or MRP2 did not alter gimatecan cytotoxicity. Whereas expression of MRP1 had a minor effect on gimatecan cytotoxicity, expression of ABCC4 was found to significantly reduce the anti-proliferative effects of this drug. Cells containing resistance-conferring mutations in topoisomerase I were also resistant to gimatecan. These results suggest that gimatecan may be more effective than irinotecan or topotecan in cancers that express ABCG2, but not in cancers that express high levels of ABCC4 or contain certain topoisomerase I (TOP1) mutations.

ABC transporters play an important role in mediating the cytoplasmic concentration of endogenous and xenobiotic substances. They therefore influence the pharmacokinetic profile of a variety of drugs. By virtue of their localization to plasma membranes in the intestine, liver, blood-brain and other vital biological barriers, a majority of ABC drug transporters cause drug-drug interactions, decreased drug efficacy and multidrug resistance for chemotherapeutic agents. Thus, elucidating which drug entities are substrates for ABC drug transporters is a crucial step in the drug development and treatment process. Here, we review the current status of methodology used to categorize drug compounds as substrates or modulators for the major ABC drug transporters including ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2.

Although the kidney is a major target in hypertension, several studies have correlated important immune alterations with the development of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), like increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory infiltration in kidneys and thymic atrophy. Because adenosine-triphosphate-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1; P-glycoprotein) and adenosine-triphosphate-binding cassette sub-family C member 1 (ABCC1; multidrug resistance protein 1), two proteins first described in multidrug resistant tumors, physiologically transport several immune mediators and are required for the adequate functioning of the immune system, we aimed to measure the expression and activity of these proteins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), thymocytes, and also kidneys of normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats and SHR. Our results showed that ABCB1, but not ABCC1, activity was diminished (nearly 50%) in PBMC. Moreover, Abcb1b gene was downregulated in PBMC and kidney of SHR and this was not counterbalanced by an upregulation of its homolog Abcb1a, suggesting that the diminished activity is due to downregulation of the gene. No alteration was detected in ABCB1 activity in SHR thymocytes, indicating that this downregulation occurs after lymphocytes leave the primary lymphoid organs. Even though it is not known at present which parameter(s) is(are) responsible for this downregulation, it may contribute for the altered immune response observed in hypertension and to possible altered drug disposition in hypertensive individuals, resulting in greater drug interaction and increased drug toxicity.

The development of the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype in mammals is often mediated by the overexpression of the P-glycoprotein1 (Pgp, ABCB1) or multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)-like ABC transport proteins. A similar phenomenon has also been observed and considered as an important part of the multixenobiotic resistance (MXR) defence system in aquatic organisms. We have recently demonstrated the presence of ABC transporters in the widely used in vitro fish model, the PLHC-1 hepatoma cell line. In the present study we were able to select a highly resistant PLHC-1 sub-clone (PLHC-1/dox) by culturing the wild-type cells in the presence of 1 microM doxorubicin. Using quantitative PCR a 42-fold higher expression of ABCB1 gene was determined in the PLHC-1/dox cells compared to non-selected wild-type cells (PLHC-1/wt). The efflux rates of model fluorescent Pgp1 substrates rhodamine 123 and calcein-AM were 3- to 4-fold higher in the PLHC-1/dox in comparison to the PLHC-1/wt cells. PLHC-1/dox were 45-fold more resistant to doxorubicin cytotoxicity than PLHC-1/wt. Similarly to mammalian cell lines, typical cross-resistance to cytotoxicity of other chemotherapeutics such as daunorubicin, vincristine, vinblastine, etoposide and colchicine, occurred. Furthermore, cyclosporine A, verapamil and PSC833, specific inhibitors of Pgp1 transport activity, completely reversed resistance of PLHC-1/dox cells to all tested drugs, resulting in EC50 values similar to the EC50 values found for PLHC-1/wt. In contrast, MK571, a specific inhibitor of MRP type of efflux transporters, sensitized PLHC-1/dox cells, neither to doxorubicin, nor to any other of the chemotherapeutics used in the study. These data demonstrate for the first time that a specific Pgp1-mediated doxorubicin resistance mechanism is present in the PLHC-1 fish hepatoma cell line. In addition, the fact that low micromolar concentrations of specific inhibitors may completely reverse a highly expressed doxorubicin resistance points to the fragility of Pgp1-mediated MXR defence mechanism in fish.

Xanthohumol (XN) and its related compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against four different human cancer cell lines, A549 (lung), SK-OV-3 (ovarian), SK-MEL-2 (melanoma), and HCT-15 (colon) using a sulforhodamine B assay. XN showed the most active cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell lines. Isoxanthohumol, 8-prenylnaringenin, and xanthohumol 4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside showed comparable cytotoxicity and (2S)-5-methoxy-8-prenylnaringenin 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside was the least cytotoxic compound. The anticancer properties of XN, the most active cytotoxic compound, were further investigated. XN showed an inhibitory effect on the activity of DNA topoisomerase I (topo I), which was measured from the relaxation of supercoiled DNA. The inhibition of topo I by XN might explain the cytotoxicity against the human cancer cell lines. Moreover, the expression of the drug efflux genes was investigated to predict the drug resistance. XN clearly decreased the mRNA levels of ABCB1 (MDR1), ABCC1 (MRP1), ABCC2 (MRP2), and ABCC3 (MRP3). These results suggest that XN has anticancer properties by inhibiting the topo I activity and it might be used in conjunction with other anticancer chemotherapeutic agents to reduce the drug resistance inhibiting the efflux drug transporters.

Multidrug resistance due to reduced drug accumulation is a phenomenon predominantly caused by the overexpression of members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, including ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein), ABCG2, and several ABCC family members [multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)]. We previously reported that a thiosemicarbazone derivative, NSC73306, is cytotoxic to carcinoma cells that overexpress functional P-glycoprotein, and it resensitizes these cells to chemotherapeutics. In this study, we investigated the effect of NSC73306 on cells overexpressing other ABC drug transporters, including ABCG2, MRP1, MRP4, and MRP5. Our findings showed that NSC73306 is not more toxic to cells that overexpress these transporters compared with their respective parental cells, and these transporters do not confer resistance to NSC73306 either. In spite of this, we observed that NSC73306 is a transport substrate for ABCG2 that can effectively inhibit ABCG2-mediated drug transport and reverse resistance to both mitoxantrone and topotecan in ABCG2-expressing cells. Interactions between NSC73306 and the ABCG2 drug-binding site(s) were confirmed by its stimulatory effect on ATPase activity (140-150 nmol/L concentration required for 50% stimulation) and by inhibition of [(125)I]iodoarylazidoprazosin photolabeling (50% inhibition at 250-400 nmol/L) of the substrate-binding site(s). Overall, NSC73306 seems to be a potent modulator of ABCG2 that does not interact with MRP1, MRP4, or MRP5. Collectively, these data suggest that NSC73306 can potentially be used, due to its dual mode of action, as an effective agent to overcome drug resistance by eliminating P-glycoprotein-overexpressing cells and by acting as a potent modulator that resensitizes ABCG2-expressing cancer cells to chemotherapeutics.
