Increased mdr gene expression and decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant human melanoma cells.

چکیده
Multidrug-resistant clones of a drug-sensitive human malignant melanoma cell line were isolated by single-step selection in culture medium containing either vincristine (4.5 ng/ml or 7.5 ng/ml), vinblastine (3 ng/ml), or colchicine (8 ng/ml). This protocol yielded primary colonies showing relatively low (4- to 24-fold) levels of drug resistance. These clones exhibit the classical multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype, being cross-resistant to Vinca alkaloids, anthracyclines, colchicine, and actinomycin D. The appearance of an MDR phenotype in these cells was linked to a decreased accumulation and increased efflux of the drug [3H]vinblastine when compared to the drug-sensitive melanoma cell line. This increased drug efflux was dependent on the presence of cellular ATP and could be reduced by treatment of the cells with rotenone and deoxyglucose. A partial human mdr complementary DNA clone was used to monitor the degree of amplification and the level of transcription of this gene in the cloned lines. All 5 MDR sublines expressed increased levels of the specific 4.5-kilobase mdr mRNA, but did not show mdr gene amplification. Our results indicate that relatively low levels of drug resistance, similar to those observed clinically and in experimental xenografts, can be achieved by single-step drug selection and result from increased expression of at least one member of the mdr gene family.

RNAi Induced Inhibition of MRP1 Expression and Reversal of Drug Resistance in Human Promyelocytic HL60 Cell Line
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a complex phenomenon in which many different genes regulating drug transport, cellular repair, detoxification and drug metabolism are involved. Nevertheless, in most drug resistant cell lines and cancer patients up-regulation of ABC-transporter genes such as MDR associated Protein (MRP1) gene could be at the basis of the drug resistance phenotype. We aimed to decre...

Objective(s): Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major obstacle in the successful chemotherapy of ovarian cancer. Inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a member of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, is a well-known strategy to overcome MDR in cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency and ability of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology to knockdown ABCB1 gene expression ...
متن کاملCelecoxib Up Regulates the Expression of Drug Efflux Transporter ABCG2 in Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Elevated expression of the drug efflux transporter ABCG2 seems to correlate with multidrug resistance of cancer cells. Specific COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib has been shown to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to anticancer drugs. To clarify whether ABCG2 inhibition is involved in the sensitizing effect of celecoxib, we investigated whether the expression of ABCG2 in breast cancer cell lines ...
