A series of CCRF-CEM sublines selected for extreme resistance to methotrexate has been shown previously to exhibit cross resistance to a number of agents belonging to the multidrug resistance phenotype (J.Natl.Cancer Inst.1989; 81, 1250-1254). The role of the mdr1 gene and its product (P-glycoprotein) in this atypical pattern of multidrug resistance has now been investigated. Southern and Northern analyses failed to demonstrate any amplification, rearrangement or over-expression of the mdr1 gene in the drug-resistant cells. Similarly, monoclonal antibodies MRK16 and JSB1 revealed no increase in the amount of P-glycoprotein present. By contrast, monoclonal antibody C219 detected a 170 kDa protein in all sublines, and in highest concentration in the most resistant cells. The results raise the possibility that a novel, C219-reactive protein may mediate resistance to both methotrexate and members of the multidrug resistance family.
先前已证明,一系列经选择对甲氨蝶呤具有极强抗性的CCRF-CEM亚系,对多种属于多药耐药表型的药物表现出交叉抗性(《美国国家癌症研究所杂志》1989年;81卷,1250 - 1254页)。现在已经对mdr1基因及其产物(P-糖蛋白)在这种非典型多药耐药模式中的作用进行了研究。Southern印迹分析和Northern印迹分析未能证明耐药细胞中mdr1基因有任何扩增、重排或过表达。同样,单克隆抗体MRK16和JSB1显示,所存在的P-糖蛋白量没有增加。相比之下,单克隆抗体C219在所有亚系中都检测到一种170 kDa的蛋白质,且在抗性最强的细胞中浓度最高。这些结果提示,一种新的、与C219反应的蛋白质可能介导对甲氨蝶呤和多药耐药家族成员的抗性。
