P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and XIAP co-expression has been discussed in the process of the acquisition of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer. Here, we evaluated XIAP and Pgp expression in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) samples, showing a positive correlation between them. Furthermore, we evaluated the effects of imatinib in XIAP and Pgp expression using CML cell lines K562 (Pgp(-)) and K562-Lucena (Pgp(+)). Imatinib increased XIAP and Pgp expression in K562-Lucena cells, while in K562 cells a downregulation of these proteins was observed, suggesting that imatinib induces an increment of MDR phenotype of CML cells that previously exhibit high levels of Pgp/XIAP co-expression.
多药耐药(MDR)的获得过程中曾讨论过 P-糖蛋白(Pgp)和 XIAP 的共表达。在此,我们评估了慢性髓性白血病(CML)样本中的 XIAP 和 Pgp 表达,发现它们之间呈正相关。此外,我们使用 CML 细胞系 K562(Pgp(-))和 K562-Lucena(Pgp(+))评估了伊马替尼对 XIAP 和 Pgp 表达的影响。伊马替尼增加了 K562-Lucena 细胞中 XIAP 和 Pgp 的表达,而在 K562 细胞中观察到这些蛋白的下调,表明伊马替尼诱导先前表现出高水平 Pgp/XIAP 共表达的 CML 细胞 MDR 表型的增加。
