Transcription profiling of doxorubicin sensitive and resistant human myeloma cell lines after treatment with doxorubicin to explore the role of the STAT1 signaling pathway in drug and radiation resistance

ABSTRACT: The myeloma cell line RPMI 8226/S and its doxorubicin resistant subline 8226/Dox40 were used as models to explore the potential importance of the STAT1 signaling pathway in drug and radiation resistance. The 40-fold doxorubicin resistant subline 8226/Dox40 was found to be crossresistant to single doses of 4 and 8 Gy of radiation. A genome-wide mRNA expression study comparing the 8226/Dox40 cell line to its parental line was performed to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms. Seventeen of the top 50 overexpressed genes have previously been implicated in the STAT1 signaling pathway. STAT1 was over expressed both at the mRNA and protein level. Moreover, analyses of nuclear extracts showed higher abundance of phosphorylated STAT1 (Tyr 701) in the resistant subline. Preexposure of the crossresistant cells to the STAT1 inhibiting drug fludarabine reduced expression of overexpressed genes and enhanced the effects of both doxorubicin and radiation. These results show that resistance to doxorubicin and radiation is associated with increased STAT1 signaling and can be modulated by fludarabine. The data support further development of therapies combining fludarabine and radiation.

Project description:Objective: To assess the role of aldoketoreductases and other doxorubicin pharmacokinetic or pharmacogenomic genes in doxorubicin cytotoxicity, resistance, DNA binding activity, and subcellular localization, Methods: We conducted a whole genome microarray study to identify differences in between doxorubicin-sensitive MCF-7cc cells and doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7Dox2-12 cells in terms of their expression of genes related to doxorubicin pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics. Targets were then validated by pharmacologic inhibition in conjunction with drug metabolite profiling, drug localization, drug cytotoxicity, and drug DNA binding studies. Results: 2063 differentially expressed transcripts were identified, including 17% and 43% of genes or gene families associated with doxorubicin pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics (p values of significance of 0.05 and <0.0001, respectively). The largest changes in the expression of genes associated with doxorubicin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were chiefly among the aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) Akr1c2, Akr1c3 and Akr1b10 which convert doxorubicin to doxorubicinol. We observed that doxorubicinol exhibits dramatically reduced drug toxicity, reduced drug DNA-binding activity, and altered drug subcellular localization to lysosomes. Pharmacologic inhibition of these AKRs in MCF-7Dox2-12 cells restored drug cytotoxicity, and drug localization to the nucleus. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the utility of using curated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic knowledgebases to identify highly relevant genes associated with doxorubicin resistance. The products of one or more of these genes could effectively be shown to alter the drug’s properties, while inhibiting them restored drug DNA binding, cytotoxicity, and subcellular localization. Doxorubicin resistant cell lines of breast MCF-7 cells were generated for gene expression profilling. Two colour microarray of Agilent whole human genome nucleotide arrays was conducted with four labelling replicates of both forward and reverse labellings plus another set of 8 arrays with forward labelling. Sixteen arrays were used for this experiments. The co-cultured control cells MCF-7cc12 was generated by parallel selection process in the absence of drug.
