Selection of human cells for resistance to vincristine or
doxorubicin often induces overexpression of the multidrug resistance 1 gene (MDR1), which encodes the cell surface P-glycoprotein, as
a result of gene amplification or transcriptional activation. Moreover,
overexpression of the MDR1 gene has been shown to be associated
closely with clinical outcome in various hematological malignancies,
including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the precise mechanism
underlying overexpression of the MDR1 gene during acquisition
of drug resistance remains unclear. We recently described an inverse
correlation between the methylation status of CpG sites at the promoter
region and expression of the MDR1 gene in malignant cell lines.
In this study, we expanded this analysis to 42 clinical AML samples. We
adapted a quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
(RT-PCR) assay for gene expression and a quantitative PCR after
digestion by Hpa II for methylation status of the MDR1
gene. We observed a statistically significant inverse correlation
between methylation and MDR1 expression in clinical samples.
The hypomethylation status of the MDR1 promoter region might be
a necessary condition for MDR1 gene overexpression and
establishment of P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug
resistance in AML patients.
