By using RNase protection analysis, residues 2677 and 2995 of
MDR-1 were identified as sites of genetic polymorphism. Through use of oligonucleotide hybridization, the genomic content and expression of individual MDR-1 alleles were examined in normal tissues, unselected and drug selected cell lines, and malignant lymphomas. In normal tissues, unselected cell lines, and untreated malignant lymphoma samples, expression of MDR-1 from both
alleles was similar. In contrast, in drug selected cell lines, and in relapsed malignant lymphoma samples, expression of one allele was found
in a large percentage of samples. To understand how expression of one
allele occurs, two multidrug resistant sublines were isolated by
exposing a Burkitt lymphoma cell line to increasing concentrations of
vincristine. The resistant sublines expressed only one allele and had a
hybrid MDR-1 gene composed of non-MDR-1 sequences
proximal to MDR-1. Previous studies showing hybrid
MDR-1 genes after rearrangements provided a potential
explanation for activation and expression of one MDR-1 allele.
We conclude that oligonucleotide hybridization can be used as a
sensitive tool to examine relative allelic expression of MDR-1,
and can identify abnormal expression from a single allele. Acquired
drug resistance in vitro and in patients is often associated with
expression of a single MDR-1 allele, and this can be a marker
of a hybrid MDR-1 gene.
