A multidrug resistance-associated protein inhibitor is a potential enhancer of the benzyl isothiocyanate-induced apoptosis induction in human colorectal cancer cells. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2021; 35:e22791.

Abstract
The increasing drug efflux through the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is the most plausible mechanism that mediates resistance to the anticancer phytochemicals, such as benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), as well as chemotherapy drugs. To identify a potential component to overcome this resistance by combinatory utilization, we focused on multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) pumping various drug metabolites with glutathione as well as the organic anions. The pharmacological treatment of an MRP inhibitor, MK571, significantly potentiated the BITC-induced antiproliferation, coincided with the enhanced accumulation of BITC and glutathione in human colorectal cancer HCT-116 cells. MK571 also enhanced the apoptosis induction as well as activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases and caspase-3, whereas it did not affect their basal levels. These results suggested that, since MRPs might play a pivotal role in the BITC efflux, MK571 potentiates the BITC-induced antiproliferation in human colorectal cancer cells through inhibition of the glutathione-dependent BITC efflux.

Bae C, Pichardo EM, Huang H, Henry SD, Guarrera JV. The benefits of hypothermic machine perfusion are enhanced with Vasosol and α-tocopherol in rodent donation after cardiac death livers. Transplant Proc 2014; 46:1560-6. [PMID: 24880463 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2013.12.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2013] [Accepted: 12/19/2013] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
The use of hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has recently been used to show an improvement in both standard and extended criteria donor liver grafts but creating a more dynamic preservation environment that can be supplemented with a variety of additives to aid in cold temperature metabolism and vasodilatation. Increasing the benefits of HMP, we explore the use of α-tocopherol in reducing inflammatory markers and apoptotic pathways to reduce the incidence of preservation injury. We explored the use of a donation after cardiac death (DCD) rodent model to test the additive benefits of α-tocopherol in HMP. The addition of α-tocopherol reduced the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) over the course of reperfusion as well, reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines within a 90 minute reperfusion biopsy. Further benefit was seen with α-tocopherol through the reduction of the level of caspase 3/7 in the circulation, shown to be a result of the reduction of the levels of Cytochrome C mRNA. Liver perfusion with Vasosol® and HMP could benefit further from the addition of α-tocopherol to existing formulations of Vasosol®.
