Goldman, and Junia V. Melo From the Laboratoire Greffe de Moelle, Université Victor Segalen, Bordeaux, France; Laboratoire de Pathologie Moléculaire et Thérapie Génique Bordeaux, France; and Department of Haematology, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom. Inappropriate expression of the multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene encoding the P-glycoprotein (Pgp) has been frequently implicated in resistance to different chemotherapeutic drugs. We have previously generated chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines resistant to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate (STI571), and one line (LAMA84-r) showed overexpression not only of the Bcr-Abl protein but also of Pgp. In the present study, we investigated this phenomenon in other cell lines overexpressing exclusively Pgp. Thus, cells from the K562/DOX line, described as resistant to doxorubicin due to MDR1 gene overexpression, grew continuously in the presence of 1 µM imatinib, but died in 4 to 5 days if the Pgp pump modulators verapamil or PSC833 were added to the imatinib-treated culture. Analysis of cell proliferation by the MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) assay confirmed the differential sensitivity of K562/DOX to imatinib, which was also reversed by verapamil or PSC833. Flow cytometric analysis of the total phosphotyrosine content by intracytoplasmic staining after a 2-hour incubation with escalating doses of imatinib showed that the inhibitory concentrations of 50% (IC50) for inhibition of cellular protein tyrosine phosphorylation were 15, 10, and 5 µM for K562/DOX, K562/DOX plus verapamil, and K562, respectively. Retroviral-mediated transfection of the BCR-ABL+ AR230 cell line with the MDR1 gene decreased its sensitivity to imatinib, an effect that was also reversed by verapamil. The possible role of MDR overexpression in clinical resistance to imatinib remains to be defined. We therefore confirm that imatinib should be added to the extensive list of drugs that can be affected by the MDR phenomenon. © 2003 by The American Society of Hematology.   CiteULike    Connotea    Del.icio.us    Digg    Reddit    Technorati    What's this?
