Characterisation of multidrug-resistant Ehrlich ascites tumour cells selected in vivo for resistance to etoposide.

Abstract:

:An Ehrlich ascites tumour cell line (EHR2) was selected for resistance to etoposide (VP16) by in vivo exposure to this agent. The resulting cell line (EHR2/VP16) was 114.3-, 5.7-, and 4.0-fold resistant to VP16, daunorubicin, and vincristine, respectively. The amount of salt-extractable immunoreactive topoisomerase IIalpha and beta in EHR2/VP16 was reduced by 30-40% relative to that in EHR2. The multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) mRNA was increased 20-fold in EHR2/VP16 as compared with EHR2, whereas the expression of P-glycoprotein was unchanged. In EHR2/VP16, the steady-state accumulation of [(3)H]VP16 and daunorubicin was reduced by 64% and 17%, respectively, as compared with EHR2. Deprivation of energy by addition of sodium azide increased the accumulation of both drugs to the level of sensitive cells. When glycolysis was restored by the addition of glucose to EHR2/VP16 cells loaded with drug in the presence of sodium azide, extrusion of [(3)H]VP16 and daunorubicin was induced. Addition of verapamil (25 microM) decreased the efflux of daunorubicin to the level of sensitive cells, but had only a moderate effect on the efflux of [(3)H]VP16. The resistant cells showed moderate sensitisation to VP16 on treatment with verapamil, whereas cyclosporin A had no effect. Compared with that of sensitive cells, the ATPase activity of plasma membrane vesicles prepared from EHR2/VP16 cells was very low. Vanadate inhibited the ATPase activity of EHR2/VP16 microsomes with a K(i) value of 30 microM. ATPase activity was slightly stimulated by daunorubicin, whereas vinblastine, verapamil, and cyclosporin A had no effect. In conclusion, development of resistance to VP16 in EHR2 is accompanied by a significant reduction in topoisomerase II (alpha and beta) and by increased expression of MRP mRNA (20-fold). MRP displays several points of resemblance to P-glycoprotein in its mode of action: 1) like P-glycoprotein, MRP causes resistance to a range of hydrophobic drugs; 2) MRP decreases drug accumulation in the cells and this decrease is abolished by omission of energy; and 3) MRP increases efflux of drug from cells. However, compared with that of P-glycoprotein-positive cells, the ATPase activity of MRP-positive cells is found to be low and not able to be stimulated by verapamil.
