Function-altering SNPs in the human multidrug transporter gene ABCB1 identified using a Saccharomyces-based assay.

ABSTRACT: The human ABCB1 (MDR1)-encoded multidrug transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a major role in disposition and efficacy of a broad range of drugs including anticancer agents. ABCB1 polymorphisms could therefore determine interindividual variability in resistance to these drugs. To test this hypothesis we developed a Saccharomyces-based assay for evaluating the functional significance of ABCB1 polymorphisms. The P-gp reference and nine variants carrying amino-acid-altering single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were tested on medium containing daunorubicin, doxorubicin, valinomycin, or actinomycin D, revealing SNPs that increased (M89T, L662R, R669C, and S1141T) or decreased (W1108R) drug resistance. The R669C allele's highly elevated resistance was compromised when in combination with W1108R. Protein level or subcellular location of each variant did not account for the observed phenotypes. The relative resistance profile of the variants differed with drug substrates. This study established a robust new methodology for identification of function-altering polymorphisms in human multidrug transporter genes, identified polymorphisms affecting P-gp function, and provided a step toward genotype-determined dosing of chemotherapeutics.

Trametinib modulates cancer multidrug resistance by targeting ABCB1 transporter.

Project description:Overexpression of adenine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is one of the main reasons of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. Trametinib, a novel specific small-molecule mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) inhibitor, is currently used for the treatment of melanoma in clinic. In this study, we investigated the effect of trametinib on MDR mediated by ABC transporters. Trametinib significantly potentiated the effects of two ABCB1 substrates vincristine and doxorubicin on inhibition of growth, arrest of cell cycle and induction of apoptosis in cancer cells overexpressed ABCB1, but not ABCC1 and ABCG2. Furthermore, trametinib did not alter the sensitivity of non-ABCB1 substrate cisplatin. Mechanistically, trametinib potently blocked the drug-efflux activity of ABCB1 to increase the intracellular accumulation of rhodamine 123 and doxorubicin and stimulates the ATPase of ABCB1 without alteration of the expression of ABCB1. Importantly, trametinib remarkably enhanced the effect of vincristine against the xenografts of ABCB1-overexpressing cancer cells in nude mice. The predicted binding mode showed the hydrophobic interactions of trametinib within the large drug binding cavity of ABCB1. Consequently, our findings may have important implications for use of trametinib in combination therapy for cancer treatment.

A new fluorescent dye accumulation assay for parallel measurements of the ABCG2, ABCB1 and ABCC1 multidrug transporter functions.

Project description:ABC multidrug transporters are key players in cancer multidrug resistance and in general xenobiotic elimination, thus their functional assays provide important tools for research and diagnostic applications. In this study we have examined the potential interactions of three key human ABC multidrug transporters with PhenGreen diacetate (PGD), a cell permeable fluorescent metal ion indicator. The non-fluorescent, hydrophobic PGD rapidly enters the cells and, after cleavage by cellular esterases, in the absence of quenching metal ions, PhenGreen (PG) becomes highly fluorescent. We found that in cells expressing functional ABCG2, ABCB1, or ABCC1 transporters, cellular PG fluorescence is strongly reduced. This fluorescence signal in the presence of specific transporter inhibitors is increased to the fluorescence levels in the control cells. Thus the PG accumulation assay is a new, unique tool for the parallel determination of the function of the ABCG2, ABCB1, and ABCC1 multidrug transporters. Since PG has very low cellular toxicity, the PG accumulation assay also allows the selection, separation and culturing of selected cell populations expressing either of these transporters.

Tepoxalin increases chemotherapy efficacy in drug-resistant breast cancer cells overexpressing the multidrug transporter gene ABCB1

Project description:Efficacious cancer chemotherapeutic treatment requires both therapy delivery and retention by malignant cells. Cancer cell overexpression of the multidrug transmembrane transporter gene ABCB1 thwarts therapy retention, leading to a drug-resistant phenotype. We explored the phenotypic impact of ABCB1 overexpression in normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) via acute adenoviral delivery and in breast cancer cell lines with stable integration of inducible ABCB1 expression. One hundred sixty-two genes were differentially expressed between ABCB1-expressing and GFP-expressing HMECs, including the gene encoding the cyclooxygenase-2 protein, PTGS2. Several breast cancer cell lines with inducible ABCB1 expression demonstrated sensitivity to the 5-lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase-1/2 inhibitor tepoxalin in two-dimensional drug response assays, and combination treatment of tepoxalin either with chemotherapies or with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors improved therapeutic efficacy in these lines. Moreover, selection for the ABCB1-expressing cell population was reduced in three-dimensional co-cultures of ABCB1-expressing and GFP-expressing cells when chemotherapy was given in combination with tepoxalin. Further study is warranted to ascertain the clinical potential of tepoxalin, an FDA-approved therapeutic for use in domesticated mammals, to restore chemosensitivity and improve drug response in patients with ABCB1-overexpressing drug-resistant breast cancers.

Characterization and tissue localization of zebrafish homologs of the human ABCB1 multidrug transporter.

Project description:Capillary endothelial cells of the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) express high levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, encoded by ABCB1) and ABCG2 (encoded by ABCG2). However, little information is available regarding ATP-binding cassette transporters expressed at the zebrafish BBB, which has emerged as a potential model system. We report the characterization and tissue localization of two genes that are similar to ABCB1, zebrafish abcb4 and abcb5. When stably expressed in HEK293 cells, both Abcb4 and Abcb5 conferred resistance to P-gp substrates; however, Abcb5 poorly transported doxorubicin and mitoxantrone compared to zebrafish Abcb4. Additionally, Abcb5 did not transport the fluorescent P-gp probes BODIPY-ethylenediamine or LDS 751, while they were transported by Abcb4. High-throughput screening of 90 human P-gp substrates confirmed that Abcb4 has an overlapping substrate specificity profile with P-gp. In the brain vasculature, RNAscope probes for abcb4 colocalized with staining by the P-gp antibody C219, while abcb5 was not detected. The abcb4 probe also colocalized with claudin-5 in brain endothelial cells. Abcb4 and Abcb5 had different tissue localizations in multiple zebrafish tissues, potentially indicating different functions. The data suggest that zebrafish Abcb4 functionally phenocopies P-gp and that the zebrafish may serve as a model to study the role of P-gp at the BBB.

Cryo-EM structures reveal distinct mechanisms of inhibition of the human multidrug transporter ABCB1.

Project description:ABCB1 detoxifies cells by exporting diverse xenobiotic compounds, thereby limiting drug disposition and contributing to multidrug resistance in cancer cells. Multiple small-molecule inhibitors and inhibitory antibodies have been developed for therapeutic applications, but the structural basis of their activity is insufficiently understood. We determined cryo-EM structures of nanodisc-reconstituted, human ABCB1 in complex with the Fab fragment of the inhibitory, monoclonal antibody MRK16 and bound to a substrate (the antitumor drug vincristine) or to the potent inhibitors elacridar, tariquidar, or zosuquidar. We found that inhibitors bound in pairs, with one molecule lodged in the central drug-binding pocket and a second extending into a phenylalanine-rich cavity that we termed the "access tunnel." This finding explains how inhibitors can act as substrates at low concentration, but interfere with the early steps of the peristaltic extrusion mechanism at higher concentration. Our structural data will also help the development of more potent and selective ABCB1 inhibitors.

Identification and Empiric Evaluation of New Inhibitors of the Multidrug Transporter P-Glycoprotein (ABCB1).

Project description:The expression of the drug efflux pump ABCB1 correlates negatively with cancer survival, making the transporter an attractive target for therapeutic inhibition. In order to identify new inhibitors of ABCB1, we have exploited the cryo-EM structure of the protein to develop a pharmacophore model derived from the best docked conformations of a structurally diverse range of known inhibitors. The pharmacophore model was used to screen the Chembridge compound library. We identified six new potential inhibitors with distinct chemistry compared to the third-generation inhibitor tariquidar and with favourable lipophilic efficiency (LipE) and lipophilicity (CLogP) characteristics, suggesting oral bioavailability. These were evaluated experimentally for efficacy and potency using a fluorescent drug transport assay in live cells. The half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of four of the compounds were in the low nanomolar range (1.35 to 26.4 nM). The two most promising compounds were also able to resensitise ABCB1-expressing cells to taxol. This study demonstrates the utility of cryo-electron microscopy structure determination for drug identification and design.

HG-829 is a potent noncompetitive inhibitor of the ATP-binding cassette multidrug resistance transporter ABCB1.

Project description:Transmembrane drug export mediated by the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter P-glycoprotein contributes to clinical resistance to antineoplastics. In this study, we identified the substituted quinoline HG-829 as a novel, noncompetitive, and potent P-glycoprotein inhibitor that overcomes in vitro and in vivo drug resistance. We found that nontoxic concentrations of HG-829 restored sensitivity to P-glycoprotein oncolytic substrates. In ABCB1-overexpressing cell lines, HG-829 significantly enhanced cytotoxicity to daunorubicin, paclitaxel, vinblastine, vincristine, and etoposide. Coadministration of HG-829 fully restored in vivo antitumor activity of daunorubicin in mice without added toxicity. Functional assays showed that HG-829 is not a Pgp substrate or competitive inhibitor of Pgp-mediated drug efflux but rather acts as a noncompetitive modulator of P-glycoprotein transport function. Taken together, our findings indicate that HG-829 is a potent, long-acting, and noncompetitive modulator of P-glycoprotein export function that may offer therapeutic promise for multidrug-resistant malignancies.

Ginsenoside Rg5 overcomes chemotherapeutic multidrug resistance mediated by ABCB1 transporter: in vitro and in vivo study.

Project description:Background:Multidrug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapy drugs remains a major challenge in clinical cancer treatment. Here we investigated whether and how ginsenoside Rg5 overcomes the MDR mediated by ABCB1 transporter in vitro and in vivo. Methods:Cytotoxicity and colon formation as well as the intracellular accumulation of ABCB1 substrates were carried out in MDR cancer cells A2780/T and A549/T for evaluating the reversal effects of Rg5. The expressions of ABCB1 and Nrf2/AKT pathway were determined by Western blotting. An A549/T cell xenograft model was established to investigate the MDR reversal activity of Rg5 in vivo. Results:Rg5 significantly reversed ABCB1-mediated MDR by increasing the intracellular accumulation of ABCB1 substrates without altering protein expression of ABCB1. Moreover, Rg5 activated ABCB1 ATPase and reduced verapamil-stimulated ATPase activity, suggesting a high affinity of Rg5 to ABCB1 binding site which was further demonstrated by molecular docking analysis. In addition, co-treatment of Rg5 and docetaxel (TXT) suppressed the expression of Nrf2 and phosphorylation of AKT, indicating that sensitizing effect of Rg5 associated with AKT/Nrf2 pathway. In nude mice bearing A549/T tumor, Rg5 and TXT treatment significantly suppressed the growth of drug-resistant tumors without increase in toxicity when compared to TXT given alone at same dose. Conclusion:Therefore, combination therapy of Rg5 and chemotherapy drugs is a strategy for the adjuvant chemotherapy, which encourages further pharmacokinetic and clinical studies.

Tepoxalin increases chemotherapy efficacy in drug-resistant breast cancer cells overexpressing the multidrug transporter gene ABCB1.

Selective Fluorescent Probes for High-Throughput Functional Diagnostics of the Human Multidrug Transporter P-Glycoprotein (ABCB1).

Project description:The multidrug transporter ABCB1 (MDR1, Pgp) plays an important role in the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds. Functional investigation of the ABCB1 expression is also essential in many diseases, including drug-resistant cancer, inflammatory conditions, or Alzheimer disease. In this study, we examined the potential interaction of the ABCB1 multidrug transporter with a group of commercially available viability dyes that are generally considered not to penetrate into intact cells. Here, we demonstrate that the slow cellular accumulation of TO-PRO™-1 (TP1) or TO-PRO™-3 (TP3) was strongly inhibited by ABCB1-dependent dye extrusion. TP1/3 dye accumulation was not affected by the presence of ABCC1 or ABCG2, while this uptake was increased to the level in the ABCB1-negative cells by a specific P-glycoprotein inhibitor, Tariquidar. We suggest that TP compounds can be used as highly sensitive, selective, non-toxic, and stable dyes to examine the functional expression and properties of the ABCB1 multidrug transporter, especially in microplate-based high-throughput flow cytometry assays. In addition, we demonstrate the applicability of the TP dyes to efficiently select and separate even a very low number of Pgp-expressing intact cells.
