Reversal of multidrug resistance of cancer cells in vitro: modification of drug resistance by selected carotenoids.

Abstract:

:The development of multidrug resistance (MDR) causes difficulties in the chemotherapy of of human cancer. Investigation of the possibility of reversal of MDR has been greatly aided by the use of cell lines with acquired resitance to anticancer agents in vitro or transfected with the mdrl gene. The aim of this study was to examine new perspectives of chemotherapy focused on natural, carotenoid compounds, in connection with the modification of MDR. The function of the MDR protein was examined via the R123 drug accumulation of both cell lines in the presence of carotenoids. The fluorescence of the cell population was measured by flow cytometry. The most effective resistance modifiers Monoepoxy-beta-carotene, (SS, 8S)-capsochrome, (8'S) Luteoxanthin, (9Z)-Violaxanthin, (9Z)-Zeaxanthin, (13Z)-Zeaxanthin were assayed for their antiproliferative effects in combination with the anti-cancer drug epirubicin. (13Z)-Zeaxanthin was able to enhance the antiproliferative effect on human mdrl gene transfected mouse lymphoma and anthracycline resistant human breast cancer cell line MCF7. (8'S)-luteoxanthin, (5S, 8S)-capsochrome and (9Z)-zeaxanthin treatment revealed synergism with epirubicin on resistant mouse lymphoma. The enhanced antiproliferative activity of epirubicin combinated with (9Z)-Violaxanthin was more significant on MCF7 cells resistant to anthracycline.
