The effect of elevated temperature on cytotoxicity of rhodamine 123 (R123) was tested in vitro on B16 mouse melanoma cells. Simultaneous 1-h exposure to R123 and hyperthermia (43 degrees C for 1 h) resulted in marked enhancement of R123 cytotoxicity. Thermal enhancement of R123 cytotoxicity occurred at temperatures as low as 38 degrees C. Heat treatment (43 degrees C for 1 h) given immediately ...
The oxidative burst is frequently evaluated by the conversion of dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) to rhodamine 123 (R123) and hydroethidium (HE) to ethidium with the use of flow cytometry (FCM). Added R123 accumulates in mitochondria, but during phagocytosis R123 originating from DHR has been observed in neutrophil granules. The present study was designed to identify the site of reactive oxygen speci...
The P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a plasma membrane protein overexpressed in multidrug-resistant tumor cells, is thought to be both an ATPase that actively exports cytotoxic drugs and a Cl- channel activated by cell swelling. The partial reversal of multidrug resistance by Cl- transport blockers suggests a possible role for Cl- in Pgp-mediated drug transport. We used multidrug-resistant Chinese hamster...
We sought to develop an assay for measuring the inhibition of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) function in whole blood as an indicator of in vivo drug activity. Since the CD56(+) subset of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) has been shown to express functional Pgp, the changes in rhodamine 123 (R123) uptake by CD56(+) PBLs from GG918-treated and untreated whole blood were used as the basis for these studi...
Rhodamine 123 (R123) is a permeant, cationic, fluorescent dye that localizes preferentially within mitochondria of living carcinoma cells. MGH-U1 human bladder carcinoma cells incubated in vitro with 10 microM R123 for 30 min and then irradiated at 514.5 nm with an argon ion laser underwent selective, phototoxic injury to mitochondria. Ultrastructurally, treatment with R123 plus irradiation wit...
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of mild heat and heat preconditioning on the uptake and permeability of a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate, rhodamine 123 (R123), in a cell culture model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). An immediate goal was to determine whether prior mild heat treatment could render brain microvessel endothelial cells more resistant to future heat stress and ...
Neferine, a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the green seed embryos of Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn), has been previously shown to have various anti-cancer effects. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of neferine in terms of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition via in vitro cytotoxicity assays, R123 uptake assays in drug-resistant cancer cells, in silico molecular docking an...
Role of electrostatic and hydrophobic forces in the interaction of ionic dyes with charged micelles.
The nature and strength of the interactions between a cationic fluorophore, Rhodamine 123 (R123), and surfactants of different head charge are investigated. Series of absorption and fluorescence emission spectra and of fluorescence decays are measured. R123 does not interact with the monomers of both nonionic and cationic surfactants but it presents affinity to their micelles. A partition equil...
Hybrid assemblies consisting of metal nanoparticles (NPs) and fluorophores are quite interesting because the intrinsic properties of fluorophores can be engineered in the assembled structure. In this regard, we utilized the self-segregation properties of block copolymer micelles to organize metal NPs and fluorophores simultaneously in a specific arrangement. From the viewpoint of assembly metho...
Clinical studies of agents capable of reversing P-glycoprotein (Pgp)-mediated multidrug resistance have attracted much attention in recent years. One question of interest in such studies is whether the concentrations achieved by chemosensitizers are sufficient to inhibit Pgp function. The goal of the present study was to develop a reliable ex vivo bioassay for analysis of the Pgp-inhibiting act...
