Microvesicles (MV) are emerging as important mediators of intercellular communication. While MVs are important signaling vectors for many physiological processes, they are also implicated in cancer pathology and progression. Cellular activation is perhaps the most widely reported initiator of MV biogenesis, however, the precise mechanism remains undefined. Uncovering the proteins involved in regulating MV biogenesis is of interest given their role in the dissemination of deleterious cancer traits. MVs shed from drug‐resistant cancer cells transfer multidrug resistance (MDR) proteins to drug‐sensitive cells and confer the MDR phenotype in a matter of hours. MDR is attributed to the overexpression of ABC transporters, primarily P‐glycoprotein and MRP1. Their expression and functionality is dependent on a number of proteins. In particular, FERM domain proteins have been implicated in supporting the functionality of efflux transporters in drug‐resistant cells and in recipient cells during intercellular transfer by vesicles. Herein, the most recent research on the proteins involved in MV biogenesis and in the dissemination of MV‐mediated MDR are discussed. Attention is drawn to unanswered questions in the literature that may prove to be of benefit in ongoing efforts to improve clinical response to chemotherapy and circumventing MDR. 相似文献

GALNT14 is a member of N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase enzyme family and mediates breast cancer cell development. Here, we find that GALNT14 regulates multidrug resistance (MDR) in breast cancer. The expression of GALNT14 is associated with MDR in breast cancer. Higher level of GALNT14 facilitates MCF-7 cells to resist Adriamycin, whereas knockdown of GALNT14 sensitizes cells to Adriamycin. Moreover, the expression of GALNT14 associates with the expression of P-gp, the efflux pump localized on the cell membrane, which could be the underlying mechanism of how GALNT14 induces MDR. In-depth analysis shows that GALNT14 regulates the stability of P-gp. Finally, GALNT14 associates with higher level of P-gp in chemotherapy-resistant human breast cancer tissues. Taken together, our studies reveal a molecular mechanism in breast cancer MDR. 相似文献

AbstractA major problem in the chemotherapy of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies is the intrinsic as well as acquired cross resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic agents. Recently, this type of multidrug resistance has been related to a gene, MDR1, and its gene product, p-glycoprotein, which functions as the efflux pump, prevents accumulation of drugs and alters their cytotoxicity. Many drug-resistant human tumors express the MDR1 gene and MDR1 RNA levels are elevated in many cancers that have not responded to chemotherapy. The same persistent observation has been made in recurrent tumors who have responded initially to chemotherapy.Doxorubicin is one of the most important anticancer agent having significant single agent activity in a variety of cancer types and is now the cornerstone of some widely used combination regimens. Despite the clinical effectiveness of the drug, doxorubicin resistance that arises in malignant cells following repeated courses of treatment is the major problem in the clinical management of neoplastic diseases. Recently, extensive studies have demonstrated that liposome encapsulated doxorubicin effectively modulates the multidrug resistance phenotype in cancer cells by altering the function of p-glycoprotein. This modulation of MDR phenotype by liposomes has been demonstrated in vitro in human breast cancer cells, ovarian cancer cells, human promyelocytic leukemia cells and in human colon cancer cells and in vivo in transgenic mice transfected with a functional MDR1 gene. It appears liposomes can play an effective role as a new modality of treatment for human cancers which have become refractory to chemotherapy. An exciting area of research which soon will emerge will exploit the different binding sites on p-glycoprotein by using combination of liposomes with other pharmacological modulators of MDR to impart maximal overcoming of multidrug resistance in cancer patients. 相似文献

AbstractDoxorubicin is the cornerstone of some widely used combination chemotherapy regimens because of its high anticancer activity in a number of human neoplasms. However, its clinical use is highly compromised because of treatment-limiting acute and chronic toxicities of which cardiotoxicity has the most debilitating effect. Our laboratories have demonstrated that liposome encapsulated doxorubicin (LED) provides important advantages in regards to the attenuation of cardiotoxicity in rodents by altering pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug, provides effective protection from immunotoxicity and maintains full therapeutic activity of the drug in liposomes. A Phase I clinical trial of LED in cancer patients has establish the maximum tolerated dose of 90 mg/m2 with granulocytopenia being the major treatment-limiting toxicity. We have performed a Phase II trial of LED in 20 recurrent breast cancer patients at a dose of 75 mg/m2 as an intravenous infusion every three weeks. Objective responses were observed in 9/20 patients of which 5 demonstrated a complete response. Hematologic toxicity with LED consisted of only grade 1-2 granulocytopenia in some patients, whereas gastrointestinal toxicity, mucositis and venous sclerosis were markedly reduced. Alopecia was complete in all patients. Twelve patients received cumulative LED doses of more than 400 mg/m2 and 8 of them received doses of over 500 mg/m2. Five of these patients were followed by endomyocardial biopsies and 4 of them were found to be Billingham Grade 0 whereas one of them had Billingham Grade 1 toxicity (cumulative dose of 750 mg/m2). This Phase II trial demonstrates higher therapeutic efficacy of LED than free doxorubicin in recurrent breast cancer patients with strong indication of cardiotoxicity protection at doses of 500-800 mg/m2.The emergence of tumor cells resistant to major classes of cytotoxic agents is a predominant obstacle in cancer treatment. This resistance is frequently related to the expression of a plasma membrane P-glycoprotein (pgp) of 170 Kd that is encoded by a family of MDR genes. Support for the involvement of pgp in MDR has been shown by transaction of sensitive cells with an expression vector containing full length cDNA of the MDR1 gene, which results in the appearance of pgp and the sensitive cells convert to the drug-resistant phenotype. Our studies demonstrate that LED modulates very effectively the MDR phenotype in LZ cells, a Chinese hamster cell line made resistant to doxorubicin and the cellular drug uptake was 2 to 3 fold higher with LED exposure than with free drug. This modulation of drug resistance and enhanced cellular drug uptake is effected by the direct binding of liposomes to pgp on the surfaces of MDR phenotype cells. LED completely inhibited the photoaffinity labeling of pgp by azidopine in membrane vesicles of HL-60/VCR cells and in KB-GSV2 cells transfected with human MDR gene. These studies demonstrate that LED has unique effectiveness in overcoming MDR phenotype in cancer cells and appears to be a potentially attractive modality of treatment of human cancers. 相似文献

胃癌多药耐药性是临床胃癌化疗失败最主要的原因之一,但其分子机制仍然不太清楚.为了寻找新的胃癌耐药相关的蛋白质,揭示胃癌多药耐药的分子机制,以胃癌细胞SGC7901和长春新碱诱导的耐药胃癌细胞SGC7901/VCR为研究对象,应用二维凝胶电泳(two-dimensionalelectrophoresis,2-DE)技术分离两种细胞的总蛋白质,图像分析识别差异表达的蛋白质点,基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(matrix-assistedlaserdesorption/ionizationtimeofflightmassspectrometry,MALDI-TOF-MS)及电喷雾电离串联质谱(electrosprayionizationtandemmassspectrometry,ESI-Q-TOF)对差异表达的蛋白质点进行鉴定,蛋白质印迹和实时RT-PCR验证部分差异蛋白质在两株细胞中的表达水平,反义核酸转染技术分析HSP27(heatshockprotein27,HSP27)高表达与SGC7901/VCR耐药的相关性.得到了分辨率较高、重复性较好的两株细胞系的二维凝胶电泳图谱,质谱分析共鉴定了24个差异蛋白质点,蛋白质印迹和实时RT-PCR验证了部分差异蛋白的表达水平,反义寡核苷酸抑制HSP27表达能增加SGC7901/VCR对长春新碱的敏感性.研究结果不仅提示这些差异蛋白质如HSP27,Sorcin等可能与胃癌的多药耐药相关,而且为揭示胃癌细胞的多药耐药性产生机制提供了线索. 相似文献

胸苷酸合成酶表达调控的分子机制 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
胸苷酸合成酶(thymidylate synthase,TS)是生物体内催化胸苷酸合成所必需的酶.多年来一直作为肿瘤化疗的重要靶酶。对TS基因调控机制的研究表明:基因扩增、转录、翻译和翻译后过程都参与了TS表达的调控。先前的研究表明:TS可与自身的mRNA结合形成TS-mRNA复合物,使mRNA翻译受阻,5-氟尿嘧啶(5-fluorouracil,5-FU)等抗代谢药物可与TS蛋白结合,结合后的复合物不能与TS mRNA作用,导致体内TS的表达升高,是肿瘤细胞产生抗药性的重要分子机制之一。现对TS基因表达调控研究进展、翻译调控与抗药性产生的分子机制进行综述。 相似文献
