We have isolated etoposide-resistant prostatic cancer cell lines, P/VP10 and P/VP20, to investigate the multidrug resistance (MDR) mechanism and to find MDR reversal agents.
We examined expression of MDR-related genes and screened reversal agents of MDR in P/VP20 cells.
These cells demonstrated a non-P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated MDR phenotype with overexpression of MDR-associated protein (MRP) mRNA due to MRP DNA amplification. A 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative, bis(4-pyridylmethyl)4-[2-(3-methyl-5,6- dihydro-1,4-dithiinyl)]-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicar boxylate (NIK250), was found to overcome MDR in P/VP20 cells.
NIK250 might be useful in reversing MDR, which often develops during chemotherapy of advanced or hormone-resistant prostatic cancer.
我们分离出了依托泊苷耐药的前列腺癌细胞系P/VP10和P/VP20,以研究多药耐药(MDR)机制并寻找MDR逆转剂。
我们检测了P/VP20细胞中MDR相关基因的表达并筛选了MDR逆转剂。
这些细胞表现出非P-糖蛋白(P-gp)介导的MDR表型,由于MRP DNA扩增,MDR相关蛋白(MRP)mRNA过表达。发现一种1,4-二氢吡啶衍生物双(4-吡啶甲基)4-[2-(3-甲基-5,6-二氢-1,4-二硫杂环戊烯基)]-2,6-二甲基-1,4-二氢吡啶-3,5-二羧酸酯(NIK250)可克服P/VP20细胞中的MDR。
NIK250可能有助于逆转晚期或激素抵抗性前列腺癌化疗期间经常出现的MDR。
