Effect of Cyclooxygenase Inhibition on P-Glycoprotein Expression and Phenytoin Level in Brain Tissue of Pilocarpine Induced Epilepsy in Rats

Background: Increased brain P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression may play important role in resistance to antiseizure drugs. The present work aimed to overcome the drug resistance that develop due to overexpression of P-gp with subsequent increase in brain phenytoin level in epileptic rats, using either non-selective (indomethacin) or selective (celecoxib) cyclooxygenase inhibitors. Methods: Fifty-six adult male albino rats were randomly divided into seven groups. Epilepsy was induced using the lithium pilocarpine model. Rats received indomethacin (2.5 mg/kg) or celecoxib (20 mg/kg), either alone or combined with phenytoin (50 mg/kg). Seizures were evaluated using Racine score. Motor coordination was assessed using open field and rotarod tests. Phenytoin brain level was measured using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), glutamate expression was measured using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily B Member 1 (ABCB1) gene expression was assessed using Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), and immunohistochemical analysis was done for P-gp expression. Results: Phenytoin combination with either indomethacin or celecoxib had improved the Racine score, motor coordination on rotarod apparatus, and open field test results. Also, phenytoin combination with either indomethacin or celecoxib decreased brain glutamate level, ABCB1 gene and P-gp expression, and increased brain phenytoin level compared to treatment with phenytoin alone. This indicated that both P-gp inhibitors indomethacin and celecoxib, increased the level of phenytoin that reached the brain of rats. However, brain uptake of phenytoin was significantly enhanced using celecoxib rather than indomethacin (CI 95%, 17.092: 32.808, P-value Conclusion: Cyclooxygenase inhibition using either celecoxib or indomethacin resulted in downregulation of P-gp expression, with subsequent increase in brain phenytoin level in epileptic rats.

P-glycoprotein的新功能在肿瘤研究中的进展

肿瘤多药耐药性(multiple drug resistance,MDR)的发生往往伴随着多药耐药基因如MDR1、MRP1和BCRP等高表达,其中MDR1基因编码的P-糖蛋白(P-glycoprotein,P-gp)是目前公认可以诱发癌细胞发生MDR的重要分子。传统研究认为P-gp主要是作为一个药物泵将化疗药物从细胞内排出从而导致MDR。然而系列研究发现,除了介导MDR以外,P-gp还能够调节癌细胞的生长、增殖、凋亡、迁移和侵袭等其他生物学行为;而且研究表明P-gp的这些作用可以依赖,也可以不依赖于其药物泵的功能。这些结果表明P-gp能够通过一些新的机制促进肿瘤的进展。本文主要针对P-gp在促进肿瘤进展中的作用进行综述。

The Effect of Different Interventional Treatment on P-Glycoprotein in Different Histopathological Types and Grades of Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma

To study the effect of the different interventional treatment on P Glycoprotein (Pgp) in different histopathological types of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC), 98 surgically and histologically verified PHC specimens were obtained. The patients included 57 patients treated by surgical resection alone and 41 patients receiving second stage surgical resection after four kinds of interventional treatment. SABC immunohistochemical staining with a monoclonal antibody against human Pgp was used to observe the Pgp in all specimens. The positive rate of Pgp was 100 % in group of chemotherapy alone ( P <0.05), 62.5 % in group of chemotherapy combined with iodized oil ( P >0.05), 46.6 % in group of chemotherapy combined with iodized oil and spongia gelatini absorbens (Sga) ( P >0.05), 18.18 % in group of chemotherapy combined with Ethanol iodized oil and Sga ( P <0.05) and 52.63 % in group of surgical resection alone. The positive rate of Pgp varied with different histopathological types, with rate of clear cell PHC being the lowest, and that of poorly differentiated or undifferentiated PHC the highest. The positive rate of Pgp was increased as pathological grades increased. Overexpression of Pgp may be responsible for the intrinsic and acquired drug resistance of PHC. Multidrug resistance (MDR) varied with different histological types. Therapy of PHC should be tailored according to individual. Local chemotherapy combined with ethanol iodized oil and Sga embolization may become a new way to overcome MDR of PHC.

INTRODUCTIONMost advanced hepatocellular garcinoma (HCC) isinsensitive to most anticancer drugs which might berelated to the high frequency of expression of themultidrug resistance-1(MDR1) gene and itsproduct,P-glycoprotein (p-gp).p-gp expressionmay also be concerned with tumor progression anddifferentiation.In the present study。

JNK1,JNK2,and JNK3 are involved in P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma cells

BACKGROUND:Multidrug resistance(MDR)is extremely common in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and is a major problem in cancer eradication by limiting the efficacy of chemotherapy.Modulation of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase(JNK)activation could be a new method to reverse MDR.However,the relationship between JNK activity and MDR in HCC cells is unknown.This study aimed to explore the relationship between MDR and JNK in HCC cell lines with different degrees of MDR.METHODS:A MDR human HCC cell line,SMMC-7721/ ADM,was developed by exposing parental cells to gradually increasing concentrations of adriamycin.The MTT assay was used to determine drug sensitivity.Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle distribution and to measure the expression levels of P-glycoprotein(P-gp)and MDR-related protein(MRP)-1 in these cells.JNK1,JNK2 and JNK3 mRNA expression levels were quantified by real-time PCR.Expression and phosphorylation of JNK1,JNK2,and JNK3 were analyzed by Western blotting.RESULTS:The MDR of SMMC-7721/ADM cells resistant to 0.05 mg/L adriamycin was mainly attributed to the overexpression of P-gp but not MRP1.In addition,these cells had a significant increase in percentage in the S phase,accompanied by a decrease in percentage in the G0/G1 phase,which is likely associated with a reduced ability for cell proliferation and MDR generation.We found that JNK1,JNK2,and JNK3 activities were negatively correlated with the degree of MDR in HCC cells.CONCLUSION:This study suggests that JNK1,JNK2,and JNK3 activities are negatively correlated with the degree of MDR in HCC cells.

Overexpression of P-glycoprotein induces acquired resistance to imatinib in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells

Imatinib,a breakpoint cluster region(BCR)-Abelson murine leukemia(ABL) tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI),has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML).However,development of multidrug resistance(MDR) limits the use of imatinib.In the present study,we aimed to investigate the mechanisms of cellular resistance to imatinib in CML.Therefore,we established an imatinib-resistant human CML cell line(K562-imatinib) through a stepwise selection process.While characterizing the phenotype of these cells,we found that K562-imatinib cells were 124.6-fold more resistant to imatinib than parental K562 cells.In addition,these cells were cross-resistant to second-and third-generation BCR-ABL TKIs.Western blot analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) demonstrated that P-glycoprotein(P-gp) and MDR1 mRNA levels were increased in K562-imatinib cells.In addition,accumulation of [14C]6-mercaptopurine(6-MP) was decreased,whereas the ATP-dependent efflux of [14C]6-MP and [3H]methotrexate transport were increased in K562-imatinib cells.These data suggest that the overexpression of P-gp may play a crucial role in acquired resistance to imatinib in CML K562-imatinib cells.

Disease control by regulation of P-glycoprotein on lymphocytes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

The main purpose of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA) with disease modifying antirheumatic drugs(DMARDs) is to control activation of lymphocytes,although some patients do not respond adequately to such treatment. Among various mechanisms of multidrug resistance, P-glycoprotein(P-gp), a member of ATP-binding cassette transporters, causes drugresistance by efflux of intracellular drugs. Certain stimuli,such as tumor necrosis factor-α, activate lymphocytes and induce P-gp expression on lymphocytes, as evident in active RA. Studies from our laboratories showed spontaneous nuclear accumulation of human Y-boxbinding protein-1, a multidrug resistance 1 transcription factor, in unstimulated lymphocytes, and surface overexpression of P-gp on peripheral lymphocytes of RA patients with high disease activity. The significant correlation between P-gp expression level and RA disease activity is associated with active efflux of drugs from the lymphocyte cytoplasm and in drugresistance.However, the use of biological agents that reduce P-gp expression as well as P-gp antagonists(e.g., cyclosporine) can successfully reduce the efflux of corticosteroids from lymphocytes in vitro, suggesting that both types of drugs can be used to overcome drug-resistance and improve clinical outcome. We conclude that lymphocytes activated by various stimuli in RA patients with highly active disease acquire P-gpmediated multidrug resistance against corticosteroids and probably some DMARDs, which are substrates of P-gp. Inhibition/reduction of P-gp could overcome such drug resistance. Expression of P-gp on lymphocytes is a promising marker of drug resistance and a suitable therapeutic target to prevent drug resistance in patients with active RA.

低氧对Caco-2细胞P-gp表达及功能的影响

目的:低氧会改变许多药物的口服生物利用度,其中也包括多种P糖蛋白(P-glycoprotein,P-gp)的底物(药物),提示低氧可能影响肠上皮细胞P-gp的功能。Caco-2细胞单层膜模型是当前研究肠上皮P-gp功能的经典模型。本研究通过结合Caco-2细胞单层膜模型与低氧处理,研究低氧对Caco-2细胞P-gp表达和功能的影响,有助于阐明高原低氧环境改变肠上皮药物转运的机制。方法:正常培养的Caco-2细胞在1%的O_(2)浓度条件下分别培养24、48、72 h,提取膜蛋白后,采用蛋白质印迹法检测P-gp的表达水平,选择表达变化最显著的缺氧时间用于后续研究。于transwell小室中培养Caco-2细胞21 d,建立Caco-2细胞单层膜模型后,将其分为常氧对照组与低氧组,常氧对照组以正常条件继续培养72 h,低氧组在1%的O_(2)浓度条件下继续培养72 h,通过跨膜电阻(transepithelial electrical resistance,TEER)、荧光黄表观渗透系数(apparent permeability coefficient,Papp)、碱性磷酸酶(alkaline phosphatase,AKP)活性及透射电镜下观察微绒毛与紧密连接结构,评价Caco-2细胞单层膜的完整性和极化状态。采用双向转运实验检测P-gp特异性底物罗丹明123(rhodamine 123,Rh123)的Papp,计算外排率。将Caco-2细胞在塑料培养瓶中连续培养21 d形成Caco-2细胞单层膜,在1%O_(2)浓度条件下处理72 h后,采用蛋白质印迹法检测膜蛋白中P-gp的表达水平。结果:1%的O_(2)浓度处理下调Caco-2细胞P-gp的表达,其中处理72 h下调最为显著(P<0.01);低氧组Caco-2细胞单层膜TEER大于400Ω·cm^(2),荧光黄Papp小于5×10^(-7)cm/s,肠腔侧与基底侧AKP活性比值大于3。表明Caco-2细胞单层膜模型建立成功,且低氧处理未影响模型的完整性与极化状态。与常氧对照组相比,低氧组Caco-2细胞单层膜Rh123的外排率显著降低(P<0.01);1%的O_(2)浓度培养72 h,下调Caco-2细胞单层膜P-gp的表达(P<0.01)。结论:低氧抑制Caco-2细胞P-gp功能,其可能与P-gp表达水平降低有关。

Mitochondrial expression and activity of P-glycoprotein under oxidative stress in outer blood-retinal barrier

AIM： To investigate the role of oxidative stress in regulating the functional expression of P-glycoprotein（P-gp） in mitochondria of D407 cells.METHODS： D407 cells were exposed to different ranges of concentrations of H2O2. The mitochondrial location of P-gp in the cells subjected to oxidative stress was detected by confocal analysis. Expression of P-gp in isolated mitochondria was assessed by Western blot. The pump activity of P-gp was evaluated by performing the efflux study on isolated mitochondria with Rhodamine 123（Rho-123） alone and in the presence of P-gp inhibitor（Tariquidar） using flow cytometry analysis. The cells were pretreated with 10 mmol/L N-acetylcysteine（NAC） for 30 min before exposing to H2O2, and analyzed the mitochondrial extracts by Western blot and flow cytometry.RESULTS： P-gp was co-localized in the mitochondria by confocal laser scanning microscopy, and it was also detected in the mitochondria of D407 cells using Western blot. Exposure to increasing concentrations of H2O2 led to gradually increased expression and location of P-gp in the mitochondria of cells. Rho-123 efflux assay showed higher uptake of Rho-123 on isolated mitochondria in the presence of Tariquidar both in normal and oxidative stress state. H2O2 up-regulated P-gp in D407 cells, which could be reversed by NAC treatment. CONCLUSION： H2O2 could up-regulate the functional expression of P-gp in mitochondria of D407 cells, while antioxidants might suppress oxidative-stress-induced over-expression of functional P-gp. It is indicative that limiting the mitochondrial P-gp transport in retinal pigment epithelium cells would be to improve the effect of mitochondria-targeted antioxidant therapy in age-related macular degeneration-like retinopathy.
