P-glycoprotein is a 170-kd glycosylated transmembrane protein, expressed in a variety of human cells and belonging to the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter family, whose membrane expression is functionally associated with the multidrug resistance phenotype. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of P-glycoprotein functions remain unclear. On the basis of some evidence suggesting P-glycoprotein-actin cytoskeleton interaction, this study investigated the association of P-glycoprotein with ezrin, radixin, and moesin, a class of proteins that cross-link actin filaments with plasma membrane in a human cell line of lymphoid origin and that have been shown to link other ion-pump-related proteins. To this purpose, a multidrug-resistant variant of CCRF-CEM cells (CEM-VBL100) was used as a model to investigate the following: (1) the cellular localizations of P-glycoprotein and ezrin, radixin, and moesin and their molecular associations; and (2) the effects of ezrin, radixin, and moesin antisense oligonucleotides on multidrug resistance and P-glycoprotein function. The results showed that: (1) P-glycoprotein colocalized and coimmunoprecipitated with ezrin, radixin, and moesin; and (2) treatment with antisense oligonucleotides for ezrin, radixin, and moesin restored drug susceptibility consistently with inhibition of both drug efflux and actin-P-glycoprotein association and induction of cellular redistribution of P-glycoprotein. These data suggest that P-glycoprotein association with the actin cytoskeleton through ezrin, radixin, and moesin is key in conferring to human lymphoid cells a multidrug resistance phenotype. Strategies aimed at inhibiting P-glycoprotein-actin association may be helpful in increasing the efficiency of both antitumor and antiviral therapies.
