Direct Correlation between DNA Topoisomerase II Activity and Cytotoxicity in Adriamycin-sensitive and -resistant P388 Leukemia Cell Lines1

چکیده
The relationship between DNA topoisomerase II activity and drug resistance was studied in cloned cell lines of Adriamycin (ADR)-sensitive and -resistant P388 leukemia; drug resistant P388/ADR/3 (clone 3) and P388/ADR/7 (clone 7) cells are 5and 10-fold more resistant to ADR than the sensitive cell line P388/4 (Cancer Res., 46: 2978, 1986). Topo isomerase II catalytic activity in crude nuclear extracts was reduced in drug-resistant cells as determined qualitatively by decatenation of kDNA. Using the centrifugal method of quantitative analysis, topoisomerase II catalytic activity (mean ±SE) was 81 ±10 units/mg total nuclear protein in sensitive cells, 29 ±2 units/mg total nuclear protein in resistant clone 3 cells, and 16 ±2 units/mg total nuclear protein in resistant clone 7 cells; these differences were highly significant (P < 0.005). Similarly, quantitative analysis of DNA cleavage activity using 3' "P-end-labeled pBR322 restriction fragments showed that drug-stimulated topoisomer ase II cleavage activity in nuclear extracts from sensitive cells was approximately 1.7and 2.9-fold greater than that from resistant clone 3 and 7 cells, respectively. Western blot analysis of nuclear extracts from the three cell lines using antibody against the ("-terminal half of recombinant-prepared human topoisomerase II polypeptide revealed reduced intmunoreactivity of topoisomerase II protein in the drug-resistant cells. These data suggest that reduced topoisomerase II activity in resistant cells, which may represent quantitative reduction of the enzyme, may be another property contributing to multifactorial drug resistance in these cells.

A multidrug-resistant variant of the P388 leukemia cell line exhibits multiple biochemical changes, including reduced drug accumulation and markedly reduced DNA strand breakage induced by anthracyclines. To investigate whether the reduced formation of drug-induced DNA breaks was due to alteration of DNA topoisomerase II activity, nuclear extracts and partially purified enzymes from the sensitiv...

Cloned lines of Adriamycin (ADR)-sensitive and -resistant P388 leukemia have been established from single cell cultures. A marker chromosome M1 was found in all cells in the heterogeneous resistant P388/ADR parental line as well as in the cloned resistant lines P388/ADR/3 and P388/ADR/7; a different marker chromosome M2 was present in the heterogeneous sensitive P388 parental line as well as th...

Previous studies using cloned lines of Adriamycin-sensitive and -resis tant P3S8 murine leukemia cells have suggested that a reduction in DNA topoisomerase Ila (topo Ila) enzyme activity and protein levels in drugresistant cell lines (A. M. Deffie, J. K. Batra, and G. J. Goldenberg, Cancer Res., 49: 58-62, 1989) may be due to an allelic mutation in the topo Ila gene (A. M. Deffie, D. J. Bosnian...
