چکیده

We have investigated the molecular basis of the 100-fold resistance of mutant human erythroleukemia K562/PMEA-1 cells to the antiproliferative potential of 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA). Upon exposure to high PMEA concentrations, comparable intracellular PMEA levels were initially observed in mutant K562/PMEA-1 and wild-type K562/0 cells, indicating that PMEA influx was unaltered. However, after 4 hr of exposure to 0.2 microM [3H]bis(pivaloyloxymethyl)-PMEA [bis(POM)-PMEA], the total intracellular level of unphosphorylated and mono- and diphosphorylated PMEA was 2.8-fold lower in K562/PMEA-1 than in K562/0 cells. Increased PMEA secretion from K562/PMEA-1 cells (compared with K562/0 cells) became more pronounced upon prolonged exposure to bis(POM)-PMEA; after 24 hr, K562/PMEA-1 cells showed 65-fold lower total intracellular PMEA levels than K562/0 cells and at 48 hr, >400-fold less total PMEA was detected in K562/PMEA-1 cells. In addition, PMEA phosphorylation was 25- to 50-fold less efficient in K562/PMEA-1 than in K562/0 cells, pointing to an additional defect at the level of the metabolism of PMEA. The PMEA efflux mechanism was shown to be temperature- and azide-dependent, was markedly inhibited by indomethacin, and did not recognize adenine nucleotides or the phosphorylated metabolites of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine. Also, over a 28-hr period, PMEA efflux was not affected by an inhibitor of RNA synthesis (actinomycin D) or protein synthesis (cycloheximide). Our studies revealed that resistance of K562/PMEA-1 cells to PMEA is the combined result of a severely impaired PMEA phosphorylation on the one hand, and an enhanced PMEA secretion by a highly specific, indomethacin-sensitive efflux pump, different from the classical P-glycoprotein- and multidrug resistance protein-mediated resistance mechanisms, on the other hand.

Multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 4- and MRP 5-mediated efflux of 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine by microglia.

The pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated dementia has been linked to microglial responses after infection. We have recently confirmed expression of several ATP-dependent efflux transporters in microglia, namely, multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). In the present study, we investigated whether cultured rat microglia express two additional MRP...

9-(2-Phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine induces tumor cell differentiation or cell death by blocking cell cycle progression through the S phase.

In addition to its inhibitory activity against viral DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptase, the acyclic nucleoside phosphonate 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA) also markedly inhibits the replicative cellular DNA polymerases alpha, delta, and epsilon. We have previously shown that PMEA is a strong inducer of differentiation in several in vitro tumor cell models and has marked antit...
