SOX2 upregulates side population cells and enhances their chemoresistant ability by transactivating ABCC1 expression contributing to intrinsic resistance to paclitaxel in melanoma.

Abstract:

:Paclitaxel is the last choice for the treatment of advanced melanoma as a second-line chemotherapeutic agent, but there are still many cases of intrinsic resistance to paclitaxel in melanoma and the reasons that cause paclitaxel resistance remain unclear. Here, we identified that high expression of SRY-box transcription factor 2 (SOX2) and high ratio of side population (SP) cells reduced the sensitivity to paclitaxel in melanoma cells. The knockout and the induction of SOX2 completely depleted and significantly upregulated the ratios of melanoma SP cells, respectively. These data suggest that SOX2, a pluripotent transcription factor for inducing cancer stem cells in melanoma, is also sufficient and necessary for the induction of melanoma SP cells. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) subfamily C member 1 (ABCC1) is one of ABC transporters which causes SP cells to be resistance to chemotherapeutic agents by efficiently pumping drugs out of cells. The knockout and the induction of ABCC1 significantly increased and decreased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to paclitaxel. High expression of ABCC1 was identified in melanoma cell lines with high expression of SOX2 and in their SP cells. SOX2 was identified to induce ABCC1 transcription. Taken together, SOX2 upregulates SP cells and enhances their chemoresistant ability by increasing ABCC1 expression, which contributes to intrinsic resistance to paclitaxel in melanoma. Our findings will lead to new insights into melanoma biology and therapy resistance, and eventually to new therapeutic targets.
