The multidrug transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp), which is frequently overexpressed in multidrug resistant leukemia, has many proposed physiological functions including involvement in transmembraneous transport of certain growth-regulating cytokines. Therefore, we studied cell growth of three pairs of drug resistant and sensitive leukemia cell lines (KG1a, K562 and HL60) exposed to three different inhibitors of Pgp. The resistant KG1a and K562 sublines, which expressed high levels of Pgp, responded to low doses of the cyclosporin SDZ PSC 833, the cyclopeptolide SDZ 280-446, and the cyclopropyldibenzosuberane LY335979 with a dose-dependent growth inhibition. In the resistant variants of KG1a and K562 cells the mean half-maximal growth inhibitory doses (GI50) of SDZ PSC 833 were 312 (SE 41) and 414 (SE 50) nM, those of SDZ 280-446 were 685 (SE 51) and 578 (SE 54) nM, and those of LY335979 were 66 (SE 1) and 48 (SE 8) nM, respectively. Exposure to 1 microM SDZ PSC 833 resulted in tetraploidization, cytokinesis failure and apoptosis of the KG1a and K562 MDR variants. Conversely, parental cells with no or low levels of Pgp and the non-Pgp resistant variant of HL60 cells were not receptive to these cytotoxic effects. We conclude that inhibition of Pgp may exercise selective cytotoxicity in Pgp-rich leukemia cells indicating a possible therapeutic target in multiresistant leukemia.

Drug resistance in multiple myeloma: cyclosporin A analogues and their metabolites as potential chemosensitizers

The malignant clone in myeloma is not eradicated by chemotherapy. Cyclosporins inhibit drug transport mechanisms, particularly the multidrug transporter p-glycoprotein 170, leading to their use as chemosensitizers. In myeloma, clonotypic blood B cells represent the major drug-resistant subset. This study compares the ability of cyclosporin A analogues and metabolites to inhibit cellular transporter(s) in myeloma and normal B cells in vitro, and evaluates their potential role in vivo. Cyclosporin A (CsA), CsG, PSC 833 or SDZ 280-446, and primary CsA and CsG metabolites, were tested for their ability to inhibit drug transport mechanisms of ex vivo malignant B cells from 81 patients with multiple myeloma as compared to B cells from normal donors, as measured by the export of the dye rhodamine 123 (Rh123) using multiparameter flow cytometry. The majority of myeloma B and normal B cells had efficient transporter function as measured by their CsA-sensitive export of Rh123. CsA and CsA analogues mediated efficient inhibition of this transport. Inhibition of dye transport by normal B cells required an approximately six-fold greater concentration of the synthetic peptolide SDZ 280-446 than was needed to optimally inhibit transport by myeloma B cells. PSC 833 and CsG were inhibitory at concentrations approximately five-fold lower than were required for CsA. Assessment of inhibitory potency in vivo indicated that the in vivo chemosensitizer levels of CsA and PSC 833 exceeded the transporter inhibitory concentration by four- and 20-fold respectively. In vivo, cyclosporins are rapidly and almost completely converted to metabolites. AM1 and AM4N, primary metabolites of CsA, mediated inhibition of transport, as did CsG metabolites GM1, GM4N and GM9. AM1 and GM9 are known to reach steady-state in vivo levels that exceed the inhibitory concentration identified here by 1.1- to 1.9-fold. Thus, cyclosporin metabolites, which accumulate in the blood during infusion of CsA and other cyclosporins, are shown here to be effective chemosensitizers for normally drug-resistant myeloma cells in vitro. Cyclosporin metabolites are considered to be less toxic than the parent drugs, suggesting that novel chemosensitization strategies designed to minimize concentrations of parent drug and maximize accumulation of primary metabolites in vivo may optimize cytotoxicity to the malignant clone in myeloma.

Modulation of human P-glycoprotein epitope expression by temperature and/or resistance modulating agents

Q4 · MEDICINE

Article

Author: Loor, Francis ; Cianfriglia, Maurizio ; Jachez, Benedicte

Three monoclonal antibodies (mAb), MRK16, MM4.17 and MC57, directed against distinct epitopes on the external domain of human P-glycoprotein (Pgp), were used to follow its expression on multidrug resistant (MDR)-cells. The linear MM4.17 epitope and conformational MRK16 epitope showed a 4-fold higher expression at 37 degrees C than at 4 degrees C, while the detection of the conformational MC57 epitope did not change. Inhibition of Pgp function, by a short pretreatment of the MDR-cells with resistance-modulating agents (RMA), such as SDZ PSC 833 and SDZ 280-446, could not be related to depletion of Pgp from the cell surface, since their expression of the MM4.17 and MRK16 epitopes was found unchanged. However, a substantially higher expression of MC57 epitopes was found on RMA-treated cells than on untreated ones. Since this effect correlated to the strength of different RMA in reversing the MDR phenotype, MC57 epitopes might be more efficiently expressed on inactivate(d) forms of the Pgp molecules, suggesting that RMA might inhibit Pgp function by disturbing the conformation of individual Pgp molecules, their topographical distribution or polymerization status in the membrane.
