Sensitization to the cytotoxicity of adriamycin by verapamil and heat in multidrug-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Development of multidrug resistance to anticancer agents is a major limitation for the success of cancer chemotherapy. The chemosensitizer verapamil increases intracellular accumulation of drugs such as adriamycin in certain multidrug-resistant cell lines. When combined with verapamil, hyperthermia should be able to alter membrane permeability to adriamycin and to enhance the cytotoxicity of the drug. Verapamil increased the cytotoxicity of adriamycin in multidrug-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells (CH(R)C5) but not in drug-sensitive cells (AuxB1). Hyperthermia (42 degrees C) alone clearly increased the cytotoxicity of adriamycin in AuxB1 cells. There was also a small increase in CH(R)C5 cells at 42 and 43 degrees C. In drug-resistant cells, the cytotoxicity of adriamycin increased considerably when verapamil was combined with heat. This effect was dependent on temperature and increased with time of incubation. At 37 degrees C, verapamil increased the uptake of adriamycin in CH(R)C5 cells, while drug efflux decreased. When verapamil was combined with hyperthermia, drug efflux decreased even further. These results led to an overall increase in intracellular accumulation of the drug. In drug-sensitive cells, hyperthermia increased both the uptake and efflux of adriamycin, but verapamil had no effect. Verapamil plus heat increased the cytotoxicity of adriamycin in drug-resistant cells, and this was accompanied by altered permeability of the membrane to the drug. Hyperthermia combined with verapamil could be beneficial by increasing the effectiveness of adriamycin in the elimination of multidrug-resistant cells in a localized target region. 相似文献

Independent colchicine-resistant (CHR) mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells displaying reduced permeability to colchicine have been isolated. A distinguishing feature of these membrane-altered mutants is their pleiotropic cross-resistance to a variety of unrelated compounds. Genetic characterization of the CHR lines indicate that colchicine resistance and cross-resistance to other drugs are of a dominant nature in somatic cell hybrids. Revertants of CHR have been isolated which display decreased resistance to colchicine and a corresponding decrease in resistance to other drugs. These results strongly suggest that colchicine resistance and the pleiotropic cross-resistance are the result of the same mutation(s). Biochemical studies indicate that although colchicine is transported into our cells by passive diffusion, no major alterations in the membrane lipids could be detected in mutant cells. However, there appears to be an energy-dependent process in these cells which actively maintains a permeability barrier against colchicine and other drugs. The CHR cells might be altered in this process. A new glycoprotein has been identified in mutant cell membranes which is not present in parental cells, and is greatly reduced in revertant cells. A model for colchicine-resistance is proposed which suggests that certain membrane proteins such as the new glycoprotein of CHR cells, are modulators of membrane fluidity (mmf proteins) whose molecular conformation regulates membrane permeability to a variety of compounds and that the CHR mutants are altered in their mmf proteins. The possible importance of the CHR cells as models for investigating aspects of chemotherapy related to drug resistance is discussed. 相似文献

In this report we investigated whether the modulation of drug permeability in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was an energy-dependent process. We observed that (1) in the absence of glucose, metabolic inhibitors such as cyanide, azide, and dinitrophenol stimulated the uptake of [3H]colchicine and other drug; (2) cyanide-induced stimulation of drug uptake could be prevented by the presence of metabolizable sugars such as glucose and ribose; (3) cyanide-treated cells were fully viable; (4) on the addition of cyanide and glucose the kinetics of drug permeability changes were very rapid. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that an energy-dependent membrane barrier against the uptake of a variety of drugs was operative in CHO cells.The nature of this energy-dependent membrane barrier was examined in colchicine-resistant mutants (CHRC4 and CHRC5 cells) previously characterized as membrane mutants with greatly reduced drug permeability (Ling and Thompson, (1974) J. Cell Physiol. 83, 103–116). The mutants were more refractile to the cyanide-induced stimulation of drug permeability but more sensitive to the glucose prevention cyanide-induction. In the presence of cyadine, the uptake rate of [3H] colchicine by CHRC4 cells increased by about 100-fold and approached a rate similar to that of wild-type cells. These results suggest that the colchicine-resistant mutants may be altered in their energy-dependent modulation of drug permeability. 相似文献

Nitrous acid, diepoxybutane and methyl methane sulfonate induce effectively non-mitochondrial chloramphenicol-resistant mutants cross-resistant to other drugs. HNO2 induces also unstable erythromycin resistant mutants. The ability of the mutants to grow on antibiotic media can be modified by detergents, guanidine hydrochloride or increased osmotic pressure of the medium. This suggests that the resistance is due to changes in cell membrane permeability similar to those described by Rank, Robertson and Philips (1975b). Multiple drug-resistant mutants selected for chloramphenicol resistance show an increased sensitivity to ethidium bromide in glucose medium. Therefore the mutations involved increase probably nuclear envelope permeability to the latter drug. Results of genetic analyses of non-mitochondrial capr and eryr mutants suggest strongly that in most, if not all, cases the resistance is determined by interaction between nuclear and extranuclear factors. 相似文献

A genetic system comprised of mammalian cell mutants which demonstrate concomitant resistance to a number of unrelated drugs has been described previously. The resistance is due to reduced cell membrane permeability and is correlated with the presence of large amounts of a plasma membrane glycoprotein termed P-glycoprotein. This system could represent a model for multiple drug resistance which develops in cancer patients treated with chemotherapeutic drugs. We demonstrate here that the multiple drug resistance phenotype can be transferred to mouse cells with DNA from a drug-resistant mutant and then amplified quantitatively by culture in media containing increasing concentrations of drug. The amount of P-glycoprotein was correlated directly with the degree of drug resistance in the transformants and amplified transformants. In addition, the drug resistance and expression of P-glycoprotein of the transformants were unstable and associated quantitatively with the number of double minute chromosomes. We suggest that the gene for multiple drug resistance and P-glycoprotein is contained in these extrachromosomal particles and is amplified by increases in double minute chromosome number. The potential use of this system for manipulation of mammalian genes in general is discussed. 相似文献

We examined the expression of the estrogen and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in a drug-resistant subline of MCF-7 cells in order to study potential alterations in hormone dependence or in the growth factor pathway that could be related to the development of drug resistance in human breast cancer. The drug-resistant subline was derived from MCF-7 cells by selection with Adriamycin in the presence of the P-giycoprotein antagonist, verapamil, to prevent acquisition of the classical multidrug resistance phenotype. The Adriamycin-resistant cells retain estrogen-binding, estrogen-responsive monolayer growth, and estrogen-dependent tumorigenesis. Estrogen-binding studies demonstrate 1.4 × 106 sites per cell with unaltered affinity when compared to parental MCF-7 cells, which have 2.7 × 105 sites per cell. An increase in expression of EGF receptor, eight to 12-fold, occurred early in the selection for drug resistance, and appears to be unrelated to verapamil exposure, since cells maintained in Adriamycin without verapamil also have increased EGF receptor expression. Partially drug-sensitive revertants carried a verapamil, but out of Adriamycin, demonstrate a decline in EGF receptor expression. We postulate that activation of growth factor pathways in drug-resistant cells may enhance mechanisms of drug resistance, or provide mitogenic stimuli for cells to recover after damage by drug exposure. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Development of multidrug resistance due to overexpression of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a cell membrane drug efflux pump, occurs commonly during in vitro selections with adriamycin (Adr). Pgp-mediated drug resistance can be overcome by the calcium channel blocker verapamil (Vp), which acts as a competitive inhibitor of drug binding and efflux. In order to identify other mechanisms of Adr resistance, we isolated an Adr-resistant subline by selecting the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 with incremental increases of Adr in the presence of 10 microgram/ml verapamil. The resultant MCF-7/AdrVp subline is 900-fold resistant to Adr, does not overexpress Pgp, and does not exhibit a decrease in Adr accumulation. It exhibits a unique cross-resistance pattern: high cross-resistance to the potent Adr analogue 3'-deamino-3'-(3-cyano-4-morpholinyl)doxorubicin, lower cross-resistance to the alkylating agent melphalan, and a sensitivity similar to the parental cell line to vinblastine. The levels of glutathione and glutathione S-transferase are similar in the parental line and the Adr-resistant subline. Topoisomerase II-DNA complexes measured by the potassium-sodium dodecyl sulfate precipitation method shows a 2-3 fold decrease in the resistant subline. The MCF-7/AdrVp cells overexpress a novel membrane protein with an apparent molecular mass of 95 kDa. Polyclonal antibodies raised against the P-95 protein demonstrate a correaltion between the level of expression and Adr resistance. Removal of Adr but not verapamil from the selection media results in a decline in P-95 protein levels that parallels a restoration of sensitivity to Adr. Immunohistochemistry demonstrates localization of the P-95 protein on the cell surface. The demonstration of high levels of the protein in clinical samples obtained from patients refractory to Adr suggests that this protein may play a role in clinical drug resistance. 相似文献

Two P388 cell sublines with different levels of resistance to daunomycin (DNM), P388/20 and P388/100 cells (approximately 20- and 100-fold resistance, respectively), undergo a significant (approximately 2-fold) increase in the number of intramembrane particles (IMPs) present at their plasma membrane, as compared to that exhibited by the parental, drug-sensitive P388 (P388/S) cell line. Regardless of the level of resistance, incubation of drug-resistant cells with verapamil, a well known reverting agent of anthracycline resistance, restores the morphology of the plasma membrane in these cells, yielding a pattern in which the number and size distribution of IMPs at both leaflets of the bilayer, become undistinguishable from those displayed by drug-sensitive cells. Furthermore, verapamil did not affect the ultrastructural organization of the plasma membrane of drug-sensitive cells. It is possible that the alterations in the structural organization of the plasma membrane of the antineoplastic-resistant tumor cells, might represent a reliable 'marker' for early diagnosis of drug resistance. 相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants resistant to the microtubule stabilizing drug taxol were isolated in a single step. Of these 139 drug-resistant mutants, 59 exhibit an absolute requirement for taxol for normal growth and division, 13 have a partial requirement, and 69 grow normally without the drug. Two-dimensional gel analysis of whole cell proteins reveal "extra" spots representing altered tubulins in 13 of the mutants. Six of these have an altered alpha-tubulin and seven have an altered beta-tubulin. Cells with an absolute dependence on taxol become large and multinucleated when deprived of the drug. In contrast, partially dependent cells exhibit some multinucleation, but most cells appear normal. In one mutant that has an absolute dependence on taxol, the cells appear to die more quickly and their nuclei do not increase in size or number. As previously found for another taxol-dependent mutant (Cabral, F., 1983, J. Cell. Biol., 97:22-29), the taxol dependence of the mutants described in this paper behaves recessively in somatic cell hybrids, and the cells are more susceptible to being killed by colcemid than are the wild-type parental cells. When compared with wild-type cells, taxol-dependent mutants have normal arrays of cytoplasmic microtubules but form much smaller mitotic spindles in the presence of taxol. When deprived of the drug, however, these mutants cannot complete assembly of the mitotic spindle apparatus, as judged by tubulin immunofluorescence. Thus, the defects leading to taxol dependence in these mutants with defined alterations in alpha- and beta-tubulin appear to result from the cell's inability to form a functional mitotic spindle. Reversion analysis indicates that the properties of at least one alpha-tubulin mutant are conferred by the altered tubulin seen on two-dimensional gels. 相似文献

Mutants of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with altered colcemid-binding affinity. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Clones of CHO cells stably resistant to colcemid have been isolated in the presence of the nonionic detergent Tween 80 after mutagen treatment. Successive single-step selections for increasing resistance were performed resulting in lines after three selection steps about 10 fold more resistant to colcemid than the parental cells. Three observations indicate that these colcemid-resistant (CMR) mutants are different from the colchicine-resistant permeability mutants isolated previously. First, their relative resistance to colcemid was not diminished in the presence of detergent which promoted increased drug permeability. Second, the CMR clones displayed limited cross-resistances only to tubulin-binding compounds. Third, the binding affinity of labeled colcemid by cytoplasmic extracts from CMR clones was reduced, and the reduction was greater in the more resistant clones. No reduction in binding of labeled colcemid was observed in the membrane-altered colchicine-resistant mutants. All these observations are consistent with the CMR clones being tubulin-altered mutants. In further support of this conclusion, we observed that tubulin purified from a CMR mutant still possessed reduced colcemid-binding affinity compared with that from parental cells. 相似文献

Colchicine-resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants whose resistance results from reduced drug permeability have been isolated previously in our laboratories. This reduced permeability affects a wide range of unrelated drugs, resulting in the mutants displaying a multiple drug resistance phenotype. A 170,000-dalton cell surface glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein) was identified, and its expression appears to correlate with the degree of resistance. In this study we were able to confer the multiple drug resistance phenotype on sensitive mouse L cells by DNA-mediated gene transfer of DNA obtained from the colchicine-resistant mutants. P-glycoprotein was detected in plasma membranes of these DNA transformants by staining with an antiserum raised against membranes of mutant CHO cells. These results are consistent with a causal relationship between P-glycoprotein expression and the multiple drug resistance phenotype. 相似文献

Colchicine resistant (CchR) mutants have been isolated from Friend erythroeleukemic cells by successive single-step selections. Measurements of the rate of uptake of [3H]-colchicine into whole cells, and the binding of [3H]-colchicine to cytoplasmic extracts, suggest that these mutants are colchicine-resistant due to a reduced membrane permeability to colchicine, rather than an altered intracellular colchicine-binding target. Consistent with this conclusion is the observation that non-toxic concentrations of Tween–80, a non-ionic detergent, potentiated colchicine uptake into mutant cells. In addition, these Friend cell mutants, like CchR mutants of other cell types, are cross-resistant to a variety of unrelated drugs, including daunomycin, puromycin, emetine, and actinomycin D. A comparison of the dose-response curves for the induction of Friend cell differentiation by actinomycin D of both wild-type and two CchR cells suggests that actinomycin D permeation is required for its effects on Friend cell differentiation. Potentiation of actinomycin D uptake by Tween–80 significantly lowered the concentration of drug required to induce hemoglobin synthesis in the CchR cells, but had no significant effect on either actinomycin D induction of CchS cells or DMSO induction of both CchS and CchR cells. In common with other chemical inducers of Friend cell differentiation, the addition of actinomycin D results in an early decrease in 86 RbCl uptake, although this effect on transport occurred 14 hours later than that observed with DMSO. 相似文献

Verapamil hypersensitivity of vincristine resistant Chinese hamster ovary cell lines 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Vincristine resistant CHO cell lines, obtained by prolonged selection in semi-inhibitory drug concentrations show considerable hypersensitivity to verapamil. Their D10 values are around 0.2 micrograms/ml compared to 23 micrograms/ml for unselected controls. Reversion of vincristine resistance during growth in vincristine free medium is correlated with reversal of verapamil sensitivity indicating that the two aspects of the cells' phenotype have a common underlying cause. The rate of uptake of calcium in the absence and presence of verapamil is similar in the vincristine resistant cells and the controls. The correlation of verapamil sensitivity with vincristine resistance is not a universal feature of CHO cell lines resistant to antimicrotubular drugs, since it was found that other resistant cell lines which have been selected by short term exposure to high drug concentrations were not verapamil hypersensitive. 相似文献

Laser excitation of cellular doxorubicin and daunomycin content (with or without incubation in the presence of efflux blockers such as phenothiazines or verapamil) was studied in cells from leukemic peripheral blood, bone marrow aspirates, and ascites and pleural fluid of solid tumor patients. Selected examples are presented to show that heterogeneity in cellular anthracycline retention as well as sensitivity to efflux modulators is seen in human tumor cells. Several tumor subpopulations differing in their cellular retention of anthracyclines or sensitivity to modulators were seen. In serial tumor samples from patients (pre- and post-treatment with anthracycline-containing protocols), initial drug retention and sensitivity to efflux modulators was followed by lack of drug retention and insensitivity to modulators. The present study shows that in view of the variables encountered in drug-retention characteristics and sensitivity to efflux modulators, one needs to screen tumor samples before recommending use of any particular transport modulator to enhance drug retention and sensitivity of drug-resistant cells. 相似文献

Sendai virus-mediated permeability changes in cells are affected by extracellular Ca2+ or Mn2+ as follows: the lag period to onset of permeability changes is lengthened and the subsequent extent of leakage is reduced. Drugs that block Ca2+ action in excitable cells, such as verapamil and prenylamine, and drugs that inhibit the action of calmodulin, such as trifluoperazine and R24571, have an effect opposite to that of Ca2+: lag is shortened and extent of leakage is increased. The concentration at which either type of drug shows 50% of maximal effect is similar to the concentration at which 50% of binding by drug to calmodulin is achieved. It is concluded that calmodulin may be involved in protecting cells against virally-mediated membrane damage; alternatively the action of calmodulin-binding drugs may not be as specific as currently thought. 相似文献

Most bacteria are resistant to a wide variety of antibiotics and other drugs, which decrease the effectiveness of clinical drug therapies. The present study developed a high-throughput DNA microarray for drug-resistant gene detection. A total of 115 specific oligonuclieotide probes with lengths of 42 nt to 45 nt and comparable Tm values were selected from 17 categories of drug-resistant genes in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database and were chemically synthesized. The entire bacterial DNA was extracted, randomly amplified, and labeled using Cy3-dCTP. The hybridization conditions of the microarray test were optimized to improve sensitivity and specificity. The drug-resistant genes were detected and genotyped using microarray analysis after hydration at 42°C for 4h with 2× hybridization solution. The microarray test sensitivity was 20ng/μL DNA. The performance of the microarray was validated using reference strains and clinical isolates. The results were consistent with direct DNA sequence analysis and drug susceptibility tests. The developed DNA microarray could be used to detect and screen drug-resistant bacteria rapidly and simultaneously. Thus, the present study could be helpful in effectively using antibiotics and controlling infectious diseases. 相似文献

Three mechanisms for resistance to methotrexate (Mtx) have been identified in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells selected from resistance to this drug. First-step selections produce cells with either an apparent structural alteration in the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (class I), or a decreased permeability to the drug (class II). Mutagenesis with ethyl methanesulfonate increases the proportion of Mtx-resistant cells 5-10-fold. Second-step selections to higher resistance using class I resistant cells as parents results in cells with an increased activity of the reductase enzyme (class III) with no apparent further qualitative alterations in the enzyme. All three classes of resistant cells retain their Mtx-resistant phenotype when cultured under nonselectivve conditions. 相似文献

The effects of the protein synthesis inhibitors trichodermin and anisomycin on the growth of the eucaryotic myxomycete Physarum polycephalum have been examined. When either of these drugs is added to log phase monoxenic cultures of myxamoebae, cell division is immediately arrested, but on continued incubation, growth resumes at a rate only slightly lower than that of drug free cultures. The length of the drug induced growth lag is roughly proportional to drug concentration. When adapted cells are transferred to fresh drug containing medium, growth is not inhibited. However, if the drug concentration is increased, transient inhibition is again exhibited. Measurement of the antibiotic concentration in used media demonstrates no significant external inactivation of either drug during adaptation. The resumption of growth cannot be attributed to the selection of stable drug-resistant mutants: single amoebal colonies arising on drug plates are found to be as drug-sensitive as control colonies when retested after subculture. In addition, when adapted cells are transferred to drug free medium, the phenotypic drug-resistance is completely lost after several generations of growth. As recovery occurs in the continuous presence of drug and is not due to the accumulation of drug-resistant mutants, this response appears to be an example of drug adaptation. Cross adaptation between anisomycin and trichodermin is also demonstrated, suggesting a common system is involved in adaptation to these structurally dissimilar, but functionally similar, drugs. 相似文献

ATP-driven pumping of a variety of drugs out of cells by the human P-glycoprotein poses a serious problem to medical therapy. High level heterologous expression of human P-glycoprotein, in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has facilitated biophysical studies in purified proteoliposome preparations. Membrane permeability of transported drugs and consequent lack of an experimentally defined drug position have made resolution of the transport mechanism difficult by classical techniques. To overcome these obstacles we devised a novel EPR spin-labeled verapamil for use as a transport substrate. Spin-labeled verapamil was an excellent transport substrate with apparent turnover number, K(m) and K(i) values of 5.8 s(-1), 4 microm, and 210 microm, respectively, at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C. The apparent affinities were approximately 10-fold higher than for unlabeled verapamil. Spin-labeled verapamil stimulated ATPase activity approximately 5-fold, was relatively hydrophilic, and had a very low flip-flop rate, making it an ideal transport substrate. The K(m) for MgATP activation of transport was 0.8 mm. By measuring the mobility of spin-labeled verapamil during transport experiments, we were able to resolve the location of the drug in proteoliposome suspensions. Steady state gradients of spin-labeled verapamil within the range of K(i)/K(m) ratios were observed. 相似文献
