Reversing multidrug resistance by RNA interference through the suppression of MDR1 gene in human hepatoma cells

AIM： To reverse the multidrug resistance （MDR） by RNA interference （RNAi）-mediated MDRI suppression in heparoma cells.METHODS： For reversing MDR by RNAi technology, two different short hairpin RNAs （shRNAs） were designed and constructed into pGenSil-1 plasmid, respectively. They were then transfected into a highly adriarnycin-resistant HepG2 hepatorna cell line （HepG2/ADM）. The RNAi effect on MDR was evaluated by real-time PCR, cell cytotoxicity assay and rhodarnine 123 （Rh123） efflux assy. RESULTS： The stably-transfected clones showed various degrees of reversal of MDR phenotype. Surprisingly, the MDR phenotype was completely reversed in two transfected clones. CONCLUSION： MDR can be reversed by the shRNAmediated MDRI suppression in HepG2/ADM cells, which provides a valuable clue to make multidrug-resistant hepatoma cells sensitive to anti-cancer drugs.

Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene and multidrug resistance 1 gene to refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children

BACKGROUND： There are two hypotheses for the underlying cause of refractory epilepsy： ＂target＂ and ＂transport＂. Studies have shown that brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） is over-expressed in refractory epilepsy. Multidrug resistance 1 （MDR1） gene encodes for P-glycoprotein, the primary ATP-binding cassette transporter in the human body. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms of the MDR1 gene have been associated with refractory epilepsy. OBJECTIVE： To investigate the association between BDNF gene C270T polymorphism and MDR1 T-129C polymorphism with refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children through the use of polymerase chain reaction （PCR）-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A case-control, genetic association study was performed at the Central Laboratory, Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2005 to November 2007. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 84 cases of unrelated children with epilepsy, including 41 cases of refractory epilepsy and 43 cases of drug-responsive epilepsy, were enrolled. An additional 30 healthy, Chinese Han children, whose ages and gender matched the refractory epilepsy patients, were selected as normal controls. METHODS： Venous blood was collected and genomic DNA was extracted from the blood specimens. C270T polymorphism in BDNF gene and T-129C polymorphism in MDR1 gene were genotyped using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Association analysis using the Ftest and Chi-square test was statistically performed between C270T polymorphism in BDNF gene and T-129C polymorphism in MDR1 gene and refractory epilepsy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies of C270T polymorphism in BDNF gene and T-129C polymorphism in MDR1 gene. RESULTS： The distribution of CC, CT, and TT genotypes, as well as C and T allele frequencies, in the BDNF gene was not significantly different between the refractory epilepsy group, drug-responsive epilepsy group, or the normal control group （P 〉 0.05）. The distribution of TT genotype and T allele frequencies of the MDR1 gene was significantly different in the refractory epilepsy group compared with the drug-responsive epilepsy and normal control groups （P 〈 0.05）. Comparison of haplotype combinations demonstrated that there were no significant differences in combinations of TT＋CC, -FI-＋CT, TC＋CC, and TC＋CT among the three groups （P 〉 0.05）. CONCLUSION： C270T polymorphism of the BDNF gene was not associated with refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children, but T-129C polymorphism in the MDR1 gene was associated with refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children. The TT genotype and T allele frequencies could serve as susceptibility loci for refractory epilepsy. Interactions between C270T in BDNF gene and T-129C in MDR1 gene were not observed in refractory epilepsy in Chinese Han children.

Expression of multidrug resistance 1 gene and C3435T genetic polymorphism in peripheral blood of patients with intractable epilepsy

BACKGROUND： Increased expression of multidrug resistance 1 （MDR1） mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with intractable epilepsy is not due to epilepsy drugs, but epilepsy behavior. Monitoring MDR1 expression in peripheral blood is a target for MDR1 gene evaluation. OBJECTIVE： To investigate the influence of antiepileptic drugs and seizures on MDR expression in intractable epilepsy, and to analyze the genetic polymorphisms of C3435T in the MDRl gene. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： Factorial designs and comparative observations at the experimental center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Medical College, Qingdao University between October 2003 and October 2004. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 120 subjects were recruited from the epilepsy clinical department of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Medical College. Four groups （n = 30） were classified according to statistical factorial design： intractable epilepsy, treatment response, no treatment, and normal control groups. METHODS： One-step semi-quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction technology was used to test expressions of the MDR1 gene in 120 subjects. C3435T polymorphisms in intractable epilepsy group and normal control groups were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Expression of MDR1 mRNA in the four groups, and C3435T genetic polymorphisms in intractable epilepsy and normal control groups. RESULTS： MDRl gene expression was increased in the intractable epilepsy group, due to the factor seizures, but not the antiepileptic drugs. However, the interaction between the two factors was not statistically significant. Of the 30 subjects in the intractable epilepsy group, the following genotypes were exhibited： 3 （10%） C/C genotype, 9 （30%） C/T genotype, and 18 （60%） T/T genotype at the site of C3435T, while 4 （13%）, 10 （33%）, and 16 （53%） subjects were determined to express these genotypes in the normal control group, respectively. C and T allele frequency were 25% and 75% in the intractable epilepsy group, and 30% and 70% in the normal control group, respectively. However, there was no statistical difference between the groups. CONCLUSION： Results demonstrated that seizures, not antiepileptic drugs, induced MDR1 gene expression in intractable epilepsy. Genetic polymorphisms of C3435T in the MDR1 gene did not contribute to the development of multidrug resistance in patients with intractable epilepsy.

Chitosan/pshRNA Plasmid Nanoparticles Targeting MDR1 Gene Reverse Paclitaxel Resistance in Ovarian Cancer Cells

In order to investigate the effect of chitosan/pshRNA plasmid nanoparticles targeting MDR1 genes on the resistance of A2780/TS cells to paclitaxel, chitosan/pshRNA plasmid nanoparti- cles were synthesized by means of a complex coacervation technique and transfected into A2780/TS cells. The cells transfected with MDRl-targeted chitosan/pshRNA plasmid nanoparticles were experimental cells and the cells transfected with chitosan/pGPU6/GFP/Neo no-load plasmid nanoparticles served as negative control cells. Morphological features of the nanoparticles were observed under transmission electron microscope （TEM）. MDR1 mRNA expression was assessed by RT-PCR. Half-inhibitory concentration （IC50） ofpaclitaxel for A2780/TS cells was determined by MTT method. TEM showed that the nanoparticles were round-shaped, smooth in surface and the diameters varied from 80 to 120 nm. The MDR1 mRNA in the transfected cells was significantly decreased by 17.6%, 27.8% and 52.6% on the post-transfection day 2, 4 and 7 when compared with that in A2780/TS cells control （P〈0.05）. MTT assay revealed that the relative reversal efficiency was increased over time and was 29.6%, 51.2% and 61.3% respectively in the transfected cells 2, 4, 7 days after transfection and IC_50 （0.197±0.003, 0.144±0.001, 0.120±0.004） were decreased with difference being significant when compared with that in A2780/TS （0.269±0.003） cells control （P〈0.05）. It was concluded that chitosan/pshRNA plasmid nanoparticles targeting MDR1 can effectively reverse the paclitaxel resistance in A2780/TS cells in a time-dependent manner.

Breast cancer resistance protein(BCRP/ABCG2):its role in multidrug resistance and regulation of its gene expression

Breast cancer resistance protein(BCRP)/ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2(ABCG2) is an ATP-binding cassette(ABC) transporter identified as a molecular cause of multidrug resistance(MDR) in diverse cancer cells.BCRP physiologically functions as a part of a self-defense mechanism for the organism;it enhances elimination of toxic xenobiotic substances and harmful agents in the gut and biliary tract,as well as through the blood-brain,placental,and possibly blood-testis barriers.BCRP recognizes and transports numerous anticancer drugs including conventional chemotherapeutic and targeted small therapeutic molecules relatively new in clinical use.Thus,BCRP expression in cancer cells directly causes MDR by active efflux of anticancer drugs.Because BCRP is also known to be a stem cell marker,its expression in cancer cells could be a manifestation of metabolic and signaling pathways that confer multiple mechanisms of drug resistance,self-renewal(stemness),and invasiveness(aggressiveness),and thereby impart a poor prognosis.Therefore,blocking BCRP-mediated active efflux may provide a therapeutic benefit for cancers.Delineating the precise molecular mechanisms for BCRP gene expression may lead to identification of a novel molecular target to modulate BCRP-mediated MDR.Current evidence suggests that BCRP gene transcription is regulated by a number of trans-acting elements including hypoxia inducible factor 1α,estrogen receptor,and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor.Furthermore,alternative promoter usage,demethylation of the BCRP promoter,and histone modification are likely associated with drug-induced BCRP overexpression in cancer cells.Finally,PI3K/AKT signaling may play a critical role in modulating BCRP function under a variety of conditions.These biological events seem involved in a complicated manner.Untangling the events would be an essential first step to developing a method to modulate BCRP function to aid patients with cancer.This review will present a synopsis of the impact of BCRP-mediated MDR in cancer cells,and the molecular mechanisms of acquired MDR currently postulated in a variety of human cancers.

Synergistic Effect of Hyperthermia and Neferine on Reverse Multidrug Resistance in Adriamycin-resistant SGC7901/ADM Gastric Cancer Cells

Multidrug resistance（MDR） plays a major obstacle to successful gastric cancer chemotherapy.The purpose of this study was to investigate the MDR reversal effect and mechanisms of hyperthermia in combination with neferine（Nef） in adriamycin（ADM） resistant human SGC7901/ADM gastric cancer cells.The MDR cells were heated at 42℃ and 45℃ for 30 min alone or combined with 10 μg/mL Nef.The cytotoxic effect of ADM was evaluated by MTT assay.Cellular plasma membrane lipid fluidity was detected by fluorescence polarization technique.Intracellular accumulation of ADM was monitored with high performance liquid chromatography.Mdr-1 mRNA,P-glycoprotein（P-gp）,γH2AX expression and γH2AX foci formation were determined by real-time PCR,Western blot and immunocytochemical staining respectively.It was found that different heating methods induced different cytotoxic effects.Water submerged hyperthermia had the strongest cytotoxicity of ADM and Nef combined with hyperthermia had a synergistic cytotoxicity of ADM in the MDR cells.The water submerged hyperthermia increased the cell membrane fluidity.Both water submerged hyperthermia and Nef increased the intracellular accumulation of ADM.The water submerged hyperthermia and Nef down-regulated the expression of mdr-1 mRNA and P-gp.The water submerged hyperthermia could damage DNA and increase the γH2AX expression of SGC7901/ADM cells.The higher temperature was,the worse effect was.Our results show that combined treatment of hyperthermia with Nef can synergistically reverse MDR in human SGC7901/ADM gastric cancer cells.

Detection and clinical significance of multidrug resistance-1 mRNA in bone marrow cells in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR

Objective： Multidrug resistance（MDR） is one of the most important reasons for treatment failure and recurrence of acute leukemia. Its manifestations are different in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia（ALL） which may be due to different detection methods. This study was to detect the expression of MDR1 mRNA in bone marrow cells of children with ALL by real-time fluorescence- quantitative reverse transcription polymerase-chain reaction（FQ-RT-PCR）, and combine minimal residual desease（MRD） detection by flow cytometry（FCM） and to study their relationship with treatment response and prognosis of ALL. Methods：The MDR1 mRNA levels in bone marrow cells from 67 children with ALL[28 had newly diagnosed disease, 27 had achieved complete remission（CR）, 12 recurrent] and 22 children without leukemia were detected by FQ-RT-PCR. MRD was detected by FCM. The patients were observed for 9-101 months, with a median of 64 months. Results：Standard curves of human MDR1 and GAPDH genes were constructed successfully. MDR1 mRNA was detected in all children with a positive rate of 100%. The mRNA level of MDR1 was similar among the newly diagnosed ALL group, CR group, and control group（P 〉 0.05）, but significantly higher in the recurrence group than that in newly diagnosed disease group and control group（0.50 ± 0.55 vs. 0.09 ± 0.26 and 0.12 ± 0.23, P〈 0.05）. 54 ALL patients were followed up, and it was found that MDR1 mRNA level was significantly higher in ALL patients within 3 years duration than that of ALL patients with 3-6 years and over 6 years duration（0.63 ± 0.56 vs. 0.11 ± 0.12 and 0.04 ± 0.06, P〈 0.01）. For the 28 children with newly diagnosed disease, the MDR1 mRNA level was similar between WBC 〉 50 ~ 109 group and WBC〈50 × 10^9 group（P〉 0.05）. In the 33 CR patients, the MDR1 mRNA level was significantly higher in MRD〉10a group than that in MRD〈10a group（0.39 ± 0.47 vs. 0.03 ± 0.03, P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion：The sensitivity and specificity of FQ-RT-PCR in detecting MDR1 mRNA in bone marrowy cells of children with ALL patients are high. MDR1 mRNA is expressed in children with and without leukemia. MDR1 mRNA is highly expressed in the CR ALL patients with high MRD, recurrence and short duration（within 3 years）. Monitoring MRD and the MDR1 mRNA level might be helpful for individual treatment.

Congenital expression of mdr-1 gene in tissues of carcinoma and its relation with patho morphology and prognosis

AIM To detect the congenital expression patterns of mdr 1 gene in commonly encountered malignant tumors in clinic, and the relationship between the expression of mdr 1 gene and the prognostic morphology in esophageal carcinomas. METHODS A total of 151 resected samples of malignant tumors without preoperative treatment were taken from Anyang City Tumor Hospital. The congenital expression of their mdr 1 gene was detected with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) and was compared with each other. The positive incidence of mdr 1 gene in 46 samples of esophageal carcinoma was compared with their differentiated grades, TNM stages and macroscopic types, and the precautions and advantages of RT PCR were evaluated. RESULTS All the 151 samples were confirmed to be malignant histopathologically, including cancers of stomach and gastric cardia (n =51), esophagus ( n =46), colorectum ( n =16), breast ( n =15), thyroid ( n =10), lung ( n =9), uterine cervix ( n =24). The positive expression rate of their mdr 1 gene was 33 3%, 37%, 31 3%, 13 2%, 40%, 55%, and 0% respectively. All the 46 samples of esophageal carcinoma were pathologically confirmed to be squamous cell carcinoma. The total expression rate of their mdr 1 gene was 37% (17/46), 35% (6/17), 40% (8/20), and 33% (3/9) for differentiation grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ respectively. The expression rate of TNM classification was 33% (6/18), 40% (5/12) and 37% (6/16) in stage Ⅱa, Ⅱb and Ⅲ. The expression rate was 33% (3/9) in ulcerous type, 37% (3/8) in constrictive one, 33% (5/15) in fungoid one, and 40% (6/14) in medullary one. No statistically significant difference was found. CONCLUSION Compared with other methods, RT PCR is more simple, reliable and accurate in detecting mdr 1 gene expression in tissues of tumor. The overexpression of mdr 1 gene in these neoplasms suggested that cases should be handled differently for chemotherapy with rational use of drugs. Excision is the chief treatment for carcinoma of esophagus. The expression of mdr 1 gene in tissues of esophageal cancer is correlated with the parameters of tumor molecular biology which are independent of histopathological morphology.

Objective: The purpose of the present study is to detect characteristics of primary expression of mdr 1 gene in several neoplasms which has high morbidity in clinic. Methods: 151 resected samples, which are pathologically malignant and clinically untreated before operation, were obtained from Anyang Cancer Hospital. All of them were investigated with RT PCR for the expression of mdr 1 gene and correlated each other. Besides, we evaluated the advantages of RT PCR in this study. Results: The mdr 1 gene expression rate of these 151 samples, including cancers of stomach and gastric cardia (n=51), esophagus (n=46), colorectum (n=16), breast (n=15), thyroid (n=10), lung (n=9), uterine cervix (n=4), was 33.3%, 37%, 31.3%, 13.2%, 40%, 55%, 0%, respectively. Conclusion: Compared with other methods, RT PCR for studying mdr 1 gene expression had certain advantages in simplicity, reliability, and accuracy. Overexpression of mdr 1 gene in these neoplasms suggested that cases should be distinguished before treatment according to MDR of tumor and to choose effective drugs for individual cancer patient.

Reversion of Multidrug-Resistance by Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib in K562/DNR Cell Line

Objective：To observe the reversion of multi-drug resistance by proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in K562/DNR cell line and to analyze the possible mechanism of reversion of multidrug-resistance.Methods：MTT method was used to determine the drug resistance of K562/DNR cells and the cellular toxicity of bortezomib.K562/DNR cells were cultured for 12 hours,24 hours and 36 hours with 100 μg/ml DNR only or plus 4 μg/L bortezomib.The expressions of NF-κB,IκB and P-gp of K562/DNR were detected with Western blot method,the activity of NF-κB was tested by ELISA method and the apoptosis rate was observed in each group respectively.Results：The IC50 of DNR on cells of K562/S and K562/DNR groups were 1.16 μg/ml and 50.43 μg/mL,respectively.The drug-resistant fold was 43.47.The IC10 of PS-341 on Cell strain K562/DNR was 4 μg/L.Therefore,4 μg/L was selected as the concentration for PS-341 to reverse drug-resistance in this study.DNR induced down-regulation of IκB expression,up-regulation of NF-κB and P-gp expression.After treatment with PS-341,a proteasome inhibitor,the IκB degradation was inhibited,IκB expression increased,NF-κB and P-gp expression decreased in a time dependent manner.Compared to DNR group,the NF-κB p65 activity of DNR＋PS-341 group was decreased.Compared to corresponding DNR group,DNR induced apoptosis rate increases after addition of PS-341 in a time dependent manner.Conclusion：Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib can convert the leukemia cell drug resistance.The mechanism may be that bortezomib decreases the degradation of IκB and the expression of NF-κB and P-gp,therefore induces the apoptosis of multi-drug resistant cells.

食管鳞癌中MDR1基因的表达与多药耐药的关系

目的探讨MDR1基因与食管鳞癌多药耐药的关系。方法逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)方法检测80例食管鳞癌、不典型增生及正常食管组织中MDR1基因的表达水平,并比较食管鳞癌组织中MDR1基因表达与不同临床参数之间的关系。利用阿霉素(ADM)药物浓度递增细胞培养方法建立食管癌多药耐药细胞Eca109/ADM,利用RT-PCR、流式细胞术及激光共聚焦显微镜检测Eca109/ADM细胞中MDR1基因及蛋白表达水平。结果 MDR1基因在食管鳞癌中的表达水平显著高于不典型增生及正常食管组织(P<0.05)。食管鳞癌中MDR1基因表达与食管癌细胞分化程度、有无淋巴结转移及浸润深度密切相关(P<0.05)。Eca109/ADM细胞中MDR1基因及蛋白表达水平显著高于其亲代细胞Eca109中的表达水平(P<0.05)。结论 MDR1基因在食管鳞癌中的异常高表达可能参与了多药耐药的形成。

MDR1、BCRP和LRP基因在乳腺癌组织中的表达及其意义

目的探讨多药耐药基因(MDR1)、乳腺癌耐药蛋白(BCRP)及肺耐药蛋白(LRP)mRNA在乳腺癌组织中的表达及其相互关系,分析它们与乳腺癌临床病理特征的关系。方法采用RT-PCR方法检测2007年1月至2007年12月在宁夏医科大学附属医院手术切除的42例乳腺癌组织、42例癌旁组织及50例乳腺良性病变中MDR1、BCRP和LRP mRNA的表达。结果乳腺癌组织中MDR1、BCRP、LRP mRNA的阳性表达率分别为40.47%、38.09%及61.90%,与癌旁组织及乳腺良性病变组织相比阳性表达率均有统计学差异(P<0.05)。MDR1mRNA表达与绝经状况呈完全正相关(r=0.398,P<0.01),与腋窝淋巴结状况呈完全正相关(r=0.398,P<0.01);BCRP mRNA表达与腋窝淋巴结状况呈正相关(r=0.355,P<0.05);LRP mRNA表达与绝经状况、年龄、腋窝淋巴结状况及肿瘤大小之间均无相关性(P>0.05);MDR1mRNA和BCRP mRNA表达呈正相关(r=0.652,P<0.01),LRP mRNA与MDR1mRNA表达无相关性(r=0.147,P>0.05);LRP mRNA和BCRP mRNA表达无相关性(r=0.111,P>0.05)。2个耐药基因共表达率为47.61%,2种或3种耐药基因共表达率为61.89%。结论乳腺癌组织中存在耐药基因MDR1、BCRP和LRP的表达,单基因和多基因协同作用,以多基因共表达为主;检测MDR1和BCRP基因表达水平可辅助临床判断乳腺癌患者的预后。
