The effect of drugs on ATP-binding cassette transporters, especially permeabilityglycoprotein (P-gp), is an important consideration during new anti-cancer drug development.
In this context, the effects of a newly synthesized artemisinin derivative, 10-(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3- triazol)-artemisinin (5a), were evaluated on P-gp expression and function.
Reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting techniques were used to determine the effect of 5a on P-gp expression in LS174T cells. In addition, the ability of 5a to work as either a substrate or an inhibitor of P-gp was investigated through different methods.
The results revealed that 5a acts as a novel P-gp inhibitor that dually suppresses the overexpression and function of P-glycoprotein. Co-treatment of LS174T cell line, human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, with 5a and paclitaxel recovered the anticancer effect of paclitaxel by controlling the acquired drug resistance pathway. The overexpression of P-gp induced by rifampin and paclitaxel in a colorectal cell line was suppressed by 5a which could be a novel inhibitory substrate inhibiting the transport of paclitaxel by P-gp.
The results revealed that 5a can be classified as a type B P-gp inhibitor (with both substrate and inhibitor activities) with an additional function of suppressing P-gp overexpression. The results might be clinically useful in the development of anticancer drugs against cancers with multidrug resistance.
药物对 ABC 转运蛋白的影响,尤其是对 P-糖蛋白(P-gp)的影响,是新抗癌药物开发过程中的一个重要考虑因素。
在这种情况下,评估了一种新合成的青蒿素衍生物 10-(4-苯基-1H-1,2,3-三唑)-青蒿素(5a)对 P-gp 表达和功能的影响。
采用逆转录聚合酶链反应和免疫印迹技术测定 5a 对 LS174T 细胞中 P-gp 表达的影响。此外,通过不同的方法研究了 5a 作为 P-gp 底物或抑制剂的能力。
结果表明,5a 是一种新型的 P-gp 抑制剂,可双重抑制 P-糖蛋白的过度表达和功能。用 5a 和紫杉醇共同处理 LS174T 细胞系,人结肠腺癌细胞系,通过控制获得性耐药途径,恢复了紫杉醇的抗癌作用。5a 抑制了由利福平诱导的和紫杉醇诱导的在结直肠细胞系中的 P-gp 过表达,这可能是一种新型的抑制底物,可抑制 P-gp 对紫杉醇的转运。
结果表明,5a 可归类为 B 型 P-gp 抑制剂(具有底物和抑制剂活性),并具有抑制 P-gp 过度表达的额外功能。这些结果可能在开发针对多药耐药性癌症的抗癌药物方面具有临床意义。
