Multidrug resistance-associated protein 7 (MRP7) is an important member of ABC transporter superfamily and has been revealed to mediate the cross-membrane translocation of a wide range of chemotherapeutic agents including taxanes, epothilones, Vinca alkaloids, Anthracyclines and Epipodophyllotoxins.In our previous study, a 1,2,3-triazole-pyrimidine hybridCMP25was synthesized and found able to efficiently reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by P-glycoprotein. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of compound CMP25in reversing MDR mediated by MRP7in vitro. The results showed that CMP25significantly sensitized MRP7-overexpressing cells to anticancer drugs that are MRP7 substrates. Mechanistic study showed that CMP25reversed MRP7-mediated MDR by increasing the intracellular accumulation of anticancer drugs and decreasing drug efflux, without altering protein expression level or subcellular localization. Currently, very few studies on synthetic MRP7 modulators have been published. Our findings provide a valuable prototype for designing drugs to combine with conventional anticancer drugs to overcome MDR-mediated by MRP7.
多药耐药相关蛋白 7(MRP7)是 ABC 转运体超家族的重要成员,已被证实能够介导多种化疗药物的跨膜转运,包括紫杉烷类、埃坡霉素类、长春碱类、蒽环类和鬼臼毒素类。在我们之前的研究中,合成了一种 1,2,3-三唑-嘧啶杂合体 CMP25,发现它能够有效地逆转 P-糖蛋白介导的多药耐药(MDR)。在这项研究中,我们评估了化合物 CMP25 在体外逆转由 MRP7 介导的 MDR 的效果。结果表明,CMP25 显著增强了 MRP7 过表达细胞对作为 MRP7 底物的抗癌药物的敏感性。机制研究表明,CMP25 通过增加抗癌药物在细胞内的积累并减少药物外排,从而逆转了由 MRP7 介导的 MDR,而没有改变蛋白表达水平或亚细胞定位。目前,关于合成 MRP7 调节剂的研究很少。我们的研究结果为设计与传统抗癌药物联合使用的药物以克服由 MRP7 介导的 MDR 提供了有价值的原型。
