Our previous study demonstrated that 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2), an
estrogen derivative, induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma (MM) cells;
however, the related transcriptional events are unclear. In the present
study, we used oligonucleotide microarrays to identify genes
altered during 2ME2-induced apoptosis in MM cells. 2ME2 triggers an
early transient induction of genes known to trigger cell death and
repression of growth/survival-related genes. Many genes regulating cell
defense/repair machinery also were transiently induced. Since 2ME2 also
induces apoptosis in MM cells resistant to conventional therapies such
as dexamethasone (Dex), we compared the gene profiles of 2ME2-treated
and Dex-resistant MM cells. Our results suggest that 2ME2 overcomes Dex
resistance by modulating genes that confer chemoresistance in MM cells.
Microarray results were confirmed by Northern and Western blot
analyses. A comparative analysis of selected genes from freshly
isolated MM patient cells and 2ME2-treated MM.1S MM cells further
provides an in vivo relevance of our in vitro studies. Collectively,
these findings suggest genetic events mediating anti-MM activity of
2ME2, as well as mechanisms whereby 2ME2 overcomes Dex resistance in MM
cells. These studies may therefore allow improved therapeutic use of 2ME2, based upon targeting genes that regulate MM cell growth and survival.
