Xu K, Zhuang XX, Shi XW. Overexpression of SCN5A overcomes ABC transporter-mediated multidrug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia through promoting apoptosis. Expert Rev Hematol 2024; 17:87-94. [PMID: 38230679 DOI: 10.1080/17474086.2024.2305363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of SCN5A overcoming ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through promoting apoptosis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The tissues derived from AML patients were divided into Sensitive group and Resistance group according to the presence of drug-resistance. Human AML cell line HL-60 and drug-resistant strain HL-60/ADR were divided into HL-60/ADR-vector group, HL-60/ADR-SCN5A group, HL-60-vector group and HL-60-SCN5A group. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of SCN5A; MTT assay to assess the survival rate and proliferation level of cells; flow cytometry to determine the apoptosis level; and western blot to check the levels of SCN5A, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), MDR protein 1 (MRP1), MDR gene 1 (MDR1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) proteins in cells. RESULTS SCN5A expressed lowly in drug-resistant AML tissues and cells. Up-regulation of SCN5A inhibited MDR in HL-60 cells, enhanced the chemosensitivity of HL-60/ADR, and increased the apoptosis levels of HL-60 and HL-60/ADR cells. However, over-expression of SCN5A inhibited the expression of MDR-related proteins. CONCLUSIONS SCN5A may overcome ABC transporter-mediated MDR in AML through enhancing the apoptosis and inhibiting the expression of MDR proteins.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological disease, and imatinib (IM) resistance represents a major problem for its clinical treatment. In the present study, the role of tribbles pseudokinase 2 (TRIB2) in IM resistance of CML and the possible mechanism were investigated. It was found that TRIB2 was highly expressed in IM-resistant patients with CML through the Oncomine database and this conclusion was confirmed using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot experiments. Knockdown of TRIB2 was found to increase the drug sensitivity of KG cells to IM using Cell-Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays, and the low-expression TRIB2 mice were further found to be more sensitive to the IM and have a higher survival rate in leukemia model mice. Moreover, using western blot and luciferase experiments, it was found that TRIB2 could regulate c-Fos through the ERK signaling pathway, and c-Fos suppressed the transcriptional activity and the expression of miR-33a-5p. Further investigation identified that the binding site for c-Fos to function on miR-33a-5p was the -958-965 region. Finally, CCK-8 assays and western blot experiments demonstrated that miR-33a-5p could inhibit the proliferation of KG cells and reduce IM resistance by suppressing the expression of HMGA2. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that TRIB2 regulates miR-33a-5p to reverse IM resistance in CML, which may help identify novel targets and therapeutic strategies for the clinical treatment of IM resistance.

Knockdown of LncRNA CRNDE suppresses proliferation and P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance in acute myelocytic leukemia through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Biosci Rep 2021; 40:224732. [PMID: 32426817 PMCID: PMC7273914 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20193450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2019] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Mechanisms involved in non-coding RNAs have been implicated in multidrug resistance (MDR) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) is reported to be involved in the malignant progression in AML. The purpose of the present study is to explore the roles and potential molecular mechanism of CRNDE in the MDR in AML. In our study, we confirmed that the expression of CRNDE was significantly up-regulated in patients with AML, especially in AML patients after adriamycin (ADR)-based chemotherapy. Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the levels of CRNDE and MDR1 in AML patients after ADR-based chemotherapy. Moreover, CRNDE was up-regulated in AML cells, especially in ADR-resistant AML cells. Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1)/p-glycoprotein (P-gp) levels were significantly increased in ADR-resistant AML cells, compared with parental AML cells. CRNDE down-regulation inhibited cell proliferation, promoted apoptosis, reduced Ki67 expression and enhanced cleaved caspase-3 expression in AML and ADR-resistant AML cells. In addition, CRNDE knockdown led to down-regulation of P-gp/MDR1, β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclinD1 expression, and enhanced the drug sensitivity to ADR in ADR-resistant AML cells. In conclusion, knockdown of CRNDE suppresses proliferation and P-gp-mediated MDR in ADR-resistant AML cells via inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, suggesting that repression of CRNDE might be a therapeutic target to reverse MDR of ADR-resistant AML cells.

The expressions of PI3K, p-Akt and NF-κBp65, LRP and P-gp were increased and mRNA of LRP and P-gp were up-regulated in CNE/DDP. The expression of p-Akt in LY-294002 group was down-regulated. The expression of NF-κB p65 in PDTC group was decreased. The mRNA of LRP and P-gp in LY-294002 group and PDTC group were decreased. CONCLUSION MDR of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell can be regulated by activating PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signal pathway and then increase the expression of P-gp and LRP. The MDR of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell can be reversed by inhibiting PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signal pathway.

Abstract
Among neoplasia-associated epigenetic alterations, changes in cellular glycosylation have recently received attention as a key component of hematological malignancy progression. Alterations in glycosylation appear to not only directly impact cell growth and survival, but also alter the adhesion of tumor cells and their interactions with the microenvironment, facilitating cancer-induced immunomodulation and eventual metastasis. Changes in glycosylation arise from altered expression of glycosyltransferases, enzymes that catalyze the transfer of saccharide moieties to a wide range of acceptor substrates, such as proteins, lipids, and other saccharides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. Novel glycan structures in hematological malignancies represent new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases. This review summarizes studies of the aberrant expression of glycans commonly found in hematological malignancies and their potential mechanisms and defines the specific roles of glycans as drivers or passengers in the development of hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Poncirin, a flavanone glycoside with bitter taste extracted from dried immature fruit of Poncirus trifoliate, exhibits multiple biological activities including anti-tumor activity. Our study aimed to determine the effect and potential mechanism of poncirin on cisplatin resistance in osteosarcoma (OS) cells. CCK-8, flow cytometry analysis, and caspase-3/7 activity assays were used to evaluate cisplatin sensitivity. The expression changes of multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1), multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway-related proteins were detected by RT-qPCR or western blot analyses. Results showed that poncirin exposure enhanced cisplatin sensitivity, promoted apoptosis, and increased caspase-3/7 activity in cisplatin-resistant OS cells. Poncirin decreased the expression levels of MDR1, MRP1, and BCRP, and inhibited the PI3K/Akt signaling in OS cells. Rescue experiments suggested that activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling by 740Y-P abolished poncirin-induced expression reduction of MDR1, MRP1, and BCRP, and attenuated the facilitative effects of poncirin on cisplatin sensitivity and apoptosis in cisplatin-resistant OS cells. In summary, poncirin suppressed cisplatin resistance in cisplatin-resistant OS cells by downregulating the expression of MDR1, MRP1, and BCRP through inhibiting the PI3K/Akt pathway.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used treatments for patients with advanced colon cancer, yet the toxicity of chemotherapy agents, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), limits the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) is an active ingredient isolated from ginseng. Rg3 has been shown to display anticancer effects on a variety of malignancies. Yet, whether Rg3 synergizes the effect of 5-FU to inhibit the growth of human colon cancer remains unknown. The present study was designed to ascertain whether Rg3 is able to enhance the anti-colon cancer effect of 5-FU. The results revealed that combined treatment of Rg3 and 5-FU significantly enhanced the inhibition of the proliferation, colony formation, invasion and migration of human colon cancer cells (SW620 and LOVO) in vitro. We also found that combined treatment of Rg3 and 5-FU significantly enhanced the apoptosis of colon cancer cells by activating the Apaf1/caspase 9/caspase 3 pathway and arrested the cell cycle of the colon cancer cells in G0/G1 by promoting the expression of Cyclin D1, CDK2 and CDK4. In addition, the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in colon cancer cells was suppressed by Rg3 and 5-FU. In vivo, Rg3 synergized the effect of 5-FU to inhibit the growth of human colon cancer xenografts in nude mice. Similarly, combined treatment of Rg3 and 5-FU altered the expression of colon cancer protein in vivo and in vitro. Collectively, the present study demonstrated that ginsenoside Rg3 enhances the anticancer effect of 5-FU in colon cancer cells via the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a vital issue in cancer treatment. Drug resistance can be developed through a variety of mechanisms, including increased drug efflux, activation of detoxifying systems and DNA repair mechanisms, and escape of drug-induced apoptosis. Identifying the exact mechanism related in a particular case is a difficult task. Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their expression, structures and functions. In recent years, comparative proteomic methods have been performed to analyze MDR mechanisms in drug-selected model cancer cell lines. In this paper, we review the recent developments and progresses by comparative proteomic approaches to identify potential MDR mechanisms in drug-selected model cancer cell lines, which may help understand and design chemical sensitizers.

Abstract
Background Platinum resistance development is a dynamic process that occurs during continuous chemotherapy and contributes to high mortality in ovarian cancer. Abnormal glycosylation has been reported in platinum resistance. Many studies on platinum resistance have been performed, but few of them have investigated platinum resistance-associated glycans based on N-glycomics. Moreover, glycomic alterations during platinum resistance development in ovarian cancer are rarely reported. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine platinum resistance-related N-glycans in ovarian cancer cells during continuous exposure to cisplatin. These glycans might be involved in the mechanism of platinum resistance and serve as biomarkers to monitor its development. Methods This study mimicked the development of platinum resistance in ovarian cancer by continuously exposing A2780 cells to cisplatin. Cisplatin-resistant variants were confirmed by higher half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values and increased P-glycoprotein (ABCB1, P-gp) expression compared to A2780 cells. Analysis of dynamic N-glycomic changes during the development of platinum resistance in cisplatin-resistant variants was performed with MALDI-time-of-flight (TOF)-MS combined with ethyl esterification derivatization, which were used to discriminate between α2,3- and α2,6-linkage N-acetylneuraminic acid. N-glycan alterations were further validated on a glycotransferase level via transcriptome sequencing and real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Results Compared to the A2780 cells, MS analysis indicated that α2,3-linked sialic structures and N-glycan gal-ratios were significantly higher, while fucosylated glycans were lower in three cisplatin-resistant variants. Transcriptome sequencing and RT-PCR showed that gene expression of ST3GAL6 and MGAT4A increased, while gene expression of FUT11, FUT1, GMDS, and B4GALT5 decreased in three cisplatin-resistant variants. Conclusions Analysis of N-glycans and glycogene expression showed that α2,3-linked sialic structures might serve as biomarkers to monitor the development of platinum resistance and to guide individualized treatment of ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
Objective: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous hematological malignancy, and drug resistance and relapse are key factors in the failure of leukemia treatment. Studies have increasingly shown that circRNA and LncRNA play important roles in the development of tumors, but their roles remain unclear in the mechanism of AML resistance. Materials and Methods: Resistant AML cell line HL-60/ADM (adriamycin, ADM) was constructed and circRNA, LncRNA, and mRNA expression profiles were screened followed by high-throughput sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis was then carried out, and the circRNA-miRNA ceRNA network was constructed and confirmed using qRT-PCR analysis. Results: A total of 1824 circRNAs, 2414 LncRNAs, and 5346 mRNAs were screened for differentially expressed genes. Enrichment analysis was performed utilizing Gene Ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, which mainly involved protein domain specific binding, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptor, and cellular metabolism. The mTOR signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, RAP1 signaling pathway, and Akt signaling pathway were closely related to drug resistance. Conclusion: Our study provides a systematic outlook on the potential function of ncRNA in the molecular mechanisms of resistant AML cells. Hsa-circ-0000978 and hsa-circ-0000483 might serve as potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of AML resistance.

ST3GAL3, ST3GAL4, and ST3GAL6 differ in their regulation of biological functions via the specificities for the α2,3-sialylation of target proteins. FASEB J 2019; 34:881-897. [PMID: 31914669 DOI: 10.1096/fj.201901793r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2019] [Revised: 09/23/2019] [Accepted: 09/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The α2,3-sialylation of N-glycans is considered important but complicated because the functions of the three β-galactoside α2,3-sialyltransferases, ST3GAL3, ST3GAL4, and ST3GAL6, could be compensating for one another. To distinguish their specific functions, we established each individual knockout (KO) cell line. Loss of either the ST3GAL3 or ST3GAL6 genes decreased cell proliferation and colony formation, as opposed to the effect in the ST3GAL4 KO cells. The phosphorylation levels of ERK and AKT were significantly suppressed in the ST3GAL6 KO and ST3GAL3 KO cells, respectively. The cell aggregations were clearly observed in the KO cells, particularly the ST3GAL3 KO and ST3GAL6 KO cells, and the expression levels of E-cadherin and claudin-1 were enhanced in both those cell lines, but were suppressed in the ST3GAL4 KO cells. Those alterations were reversed with an overexpression of each corresponding gene in rescued cells. Of particular interest, the α2,3-sialylation levels of β1 integrin were clearly suppressed in the ST3GAL4 KO cells, but these were increased in the ST3GAL3 KO and ST3GAL6 KO cells, whereas the α2,3-sialylation levels of EGFR were significantly decreased in the ST3GAL6 KO cells. The decrease in α2,3-sialylation increased the α2,6-sialylation on β1, but not EGFR. Furthermore, a cross-restoration of each of the three genes in ST3GAL6 KO cells showed that overexpression of ST3GAL6 sufficiently rescued the total α2,3-sialylation levels, cell morphology, and α2,3-sialylation of EGFR, whereas the α2,3-sialylation levels of β1 were greatly enhanced by an overexpression of ST3GAL4. These results clearly demonstrate that the three α2,3-sialyltransferases modify characteristic target proteins and regulate cell biological functions in different ways.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, which is the leading cause of cancer-related death among various cancers worldwide. Flavokawain A (FKA), a chalcone found in the kava plant, exerts potent anticancer activity. However, the activity and mechanisms of FKA in inhibiting the viability of paclitaxel (PTX)-resistant lung cancer A549 (A549/T) have not been investigated. In the present study, the effect of FKA on the viability of A549/T and hepatotoxicity in normal liver epithelial cells was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Flow cytometry, western blot analysis and Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit were used to assess cell apoptosis. The effect of FKA on permeability-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression was measured by reverse transcription-PCR and western blot analysis. The results indicated that FKA dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in PTX-resistant A549/T cells, with an IC50 value of ~21 µM, while the IC50 value of A549/T cells to PTX was 34.64 µM. FKA had no hepatic toxicity in liver epithelial cells. P-gp, which contributes to the chemoresistant phenotype, was not expressed in A549 cells but was remarkably enhanced in A549/T cells. FKA (30 µM) decreased P-gp protein expression at 24 h by 3-fold. Furthermore, FKA downregulated P-gp expression by blocking the PI3K/Akt pathway. These findings suggest FKA as a potential candidate for the treatment of PTX-resistant lung cancer.

Abstract
In the present study, the roles of AITC in up-regulating the MRP1 expression and its relationship with the activation of the Notch1 signaling pathway were investigated by combining the in vivo and in vitro experiments. AITC was administered to the COPD model rats and normal rats to explore the association between Notch1 and MRP1. The human bronchial epithelial cells were treated with DAPT, the Notch1 signaling pathway inhibitor, to verify the effect of Notch1 on the expression of AITC-induced MRP1. Compared with the control group, the expressions of Notch1, Hes1 (the target gene of Notch1) and MRP1 in the lung tissue of the COPD model group were significantly inhibited. In contrast to the COPD model group, the expressions of MRP1, Hes1 and Notch1 dramatically up-regulated following the treatment with Low/High doses of AITC. The expression of MRP1 in the 16 HBE cells was down-regulated by the inhibition of Notch in a DAPT concentration-dependent manner. Additionally, the AITC-induced up-regulation of the MRP1 expression was markedly impaired following the inhibition of Notch1. The above results indicated that the pulmonary function and the expression of MRP1 in COPD rats could be improved by AITC, which was partly dependent on the Notch1 signaling pathway. Therefore, targeting the Notch signaling pathway may present as an effective therapeutic strategy for COPD treatment.

Abstract
Timosaponin AIII, a major steroidal saponin found in Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge., which has been widely used as anti-pyretic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet aggregator and anti-depressant agents in traditional Chinese medicine. Recent pharmacological study showed that timosaponin AIII had potent cytotoxicity, which was potential to be developed as an anticancer agent, however the molecular mechanism underlying the anticancer activity has not been fully elucidated. This review aims to give a systematic summary of the study of timosaponin AIII to reveal its anti-tumor activities by investigating invasion and migration, apoptosis, autophagy and reversing multi-drug resistance. Furthermore, we also make an overview of the mechanisms identified till now. These meaningful findings may provide novel insights on exploiting timosaponin AIII as a new anti-tumor agent.

Cytotoxicity of nimbolide towards multidrug-resistant tumor cells and hypersensitivity via cellular metabolic modulation. Oncotarget 2018; 9:35762-35779.

Abstract
Nimbolide is considered a promising natural product in cancer prevention and treatment. However, it is not known yet, whether the different mechanisms of multidrug resistance (MDR) influence its anticancer activity. In this study, well-known MDR mechanisms (ABCB1, ABCG2, ABCB5, TP53, EGFR) were evaluated against nimbolide. The P-glycoprotein (ABCB1/MDR1)-overexpressing CEM/ADR5000 cell line displayed remarkable hypersensitivity to nimbolide, which was mediated through upregulation of the tumor suppressor, PTEN, and its downstream components resulted in significant downregulation in ABCB1/MDR1 mRNA and P-glycoprotein. In addition, nimbolide targeted essential cellular metabolic-regulating elements including HIF1α, FoxO1, MYC and reactive oxygen species. The expression of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) as well as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mutant tumor suppressor TP53 did not correlate to nimbolide’s activity. Furthermore, this paper looked for other molecular determinants that might determine tumor cellular response towards nimbolide. COMPARE and hierarchical cluster analyses of transcriptome-wide microarray-based mRNA expressions of the NCI 60 cell line panel were performed, and a set of 40 genes from different functional groups was identified. The data suggested NF-κB as master regulator of nimbolide’s activity. Interestingly, HIF1α was determined by COMPARE analysis to mediate sensitivity to nimbolide, which would be of great benefit in targeted therapy.

Abstract
The three types of blood cells (red blood cells for carrying oxygen, white blood cells for immune protection, and platelets for wound clotting) arise from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in the adult bone marrow, and function in physiological regulation and communication with local microenvironments to maintain systemic homeostasis. Hematological malignancies are relatively uncommon malignant disorders derived from the two major blood cell lineages: myeloid (leukemia) and lymphoid (lymphoma). Malignant clones lose their regulatory mechanisms, resulting in production of a large number of dysfunctional cells and destruction of normal hematopoiesis. Glycans are one of the four major types of essential biological macromolecules, along with nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Major glycan subgroups are N-glycans, O-glycans, glycosaminoglycans, and glycosphingolipids. Aberrant expression of glycan structures, resulting from dysregulation of glycan-related genes, is associated with cancer development and progression in terms of cell signaling and communication, tumor cell dissociation and invasion, cell-matrix interactions, tumor angiogenesis, immune modulation, and metastasis formation. Aberrant glycan expression occurs in most hematological malignancies, notably acute myeloid leukemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and multiple myeloma, etc. Here, we review recent research advances regarding aberrant glycans, their related genes, and their roles in hematological malignancies. Our improved understanding of the mechanisms that underlie aberrant patterns of glycosylation will lead to development of novel, more effective therapeutic approaches targeted to hematological malignancies.

Resistance to complement activation, cell membrane hypersialylation and relapses in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients treated with rituximab and chemotherapy. Oncotarget 2018; 9:31590-31605.

Abstract
The anti-CD20-specific monoclonal antibody rituximab (RTX), in combination with chemotherapy, is commonly used for primary treatment in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, relapses remain important and activation of the complement pathway is one of the mechanisms by which RTX generates the destruction of B cells directly by complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), or indirectly by antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis. In this study, the RTX capacity to induce CDC was established in 69 untreated CLL patients, this cohort including 34 patients tested before the initiation of RTX-chemotherapy. In vitro CDC-resistance to RTX predicts lower response rates to RTX-chemotherapy and shorter treatment free survival. Furthermore, the predictive value of CDC-resistance was independent from the clinical, cytogenetic and FcγR3A V158F polymorphism status. In contrast, CLL cell resistance to CDC predominates in IGHV unmutated patients and was related to an important α2-6 sialyl transferase activity, which in turn increases cell surface α2-6 hypersialylation. Suspected factors associated with resistance to CDC (CD20, CD55, CD59, factor H, GM1, and sphingomyelin) were not differentially expressed or recruited between the two CLL groups. Altogether, results provide evidence that testing RTX capacity to induce CDC in vitro represents an independent predictive factor of therapeutic effects of RTX, and that α2-6 hypersialylation in CLL cells controls RTX response through the control of the complement pathway. At a time when CLL therapy is moving towards chemo-free treatments, further experiments are required to determine whether performing an initial in vitro assay to appreciate CLL CDC resistance might be useful to select patients.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of alkaloids and carbinol extracts from lily on the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells, as well as the underlying mechanism. SGC-7901 cells were incubated with different concentrations of alkaloid or carbinol extracts for 24, 48 or 72 h. MTT assays were used to measure the inhibition rate of SGC-7901 cell proliferation. Inverted phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy was used to observe morphological changes of SGC-7901 cells. Flow cytometry was employed to detect cell cycle progression and apoptosis rates of SGC-7901 cells. Western blotting was performed to measure the expression of caspase-3, Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) proteins in SGC-7901 cells. The inhibition rate of SGC-7901 cell proliferation was significantly enhanced with increasing drug concentrations and time elapsed. Treatment with alkaloid or carbinol extracts deteriorated the morphology of SGC-7901 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Alkaloid and carbinol extracts arrested SGC-7901 cells in the G2/M phase, and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Alkaloid and carbinol extracts enhanced caspase-3, and Fas expression, but reduced FasL expression in SGC-7901 cells. The present study demonstrated that alkaloids and carbinol extracts from lily inhibited the proliferation of gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells by arresting cells in the G2/M phase. The upregulation of caspase-3 and Fas proteins, and the downregulation of FasL protein may be an important mechanism for the induction of SGC-7901 cell apoptosis.

Abstract
ST6Gal-I sialyltransferase adds α2,6-linked sialic acids to the terminal ends of glycan chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids. ST6Gal-I is reportedly upregulated in many cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian cancer and breast cancer. However, the expression and function of ST6Gal-I in prostate cancer (PCa) and the mechanism underlying this function remain largely unknown. In this study, we observed that ST6Gal-I expression was upregulated in human PCa tissues compared to non-malignant prostate tissues. High ST6Gal-I expression was positively correlated with Gleason scores, seminal vesicle involvement and poor survival in patients with PCa. ST6Gal-I knockdown in aggressive prostate cancer PC-3 and DU145 cells significantly inhibited the proliferation, growth, migration and invasion capabilities of these cells. ST6Gal-I knockdown decreased the levels of several PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/ β-catenin pathway components, such as p-PI3K, (Ser473)p-Akt, (Ser9)p-GSK-3β and β-catenin. Furthermore, targeting this pathway with a PI3K inhibitor or Akt RNA interference decreased p-Akt, p-GSK-3β and β-catenin expression, resulting in decreased PC-3 and DU145 proliferation, migration and invasion. Taken together, these results indicate that ST6Gal-I plays a critical role in cell proliferation and invasion via the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway during PCa progression and that it might be a promising target for PCa prognosis determination and therapy.

Abstract
RY10-4, an anti-tumor agent, exerts cytotoxicity to various human cancer cell lines. However, few studies reported the effect of combined application of RY10-4 and chemotherapeutic drugs against cancer cells with multidrug resistance (MDR). In this study, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is reported to mediate MDR to anti-cancer drugs, was proved to be overexpressed in the adriamycin (ADR)-resistant human breast cancer cells, namely MCF-7/ADR cells. Furthermore, RY10-4 application resulted in a downregulation of P-gp in MCF-7/ADR cells, thus leading to higher chemosensitivity to ADR. Our study further demonstrated that the MDR phenomenon was under the control of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway, which was suppressed by RY10-4, leading to MDR reversal effects in MCF-7/ADR cells. In vivo, MCF-7/ADR cells were effectively suppressed by the combined ADR/RY10-4 treatment compared with the ADR-alone treatment. Taken together, these results demonstrated that RY10-4 reverses the MDR phenotype in MCF-7/ADR cells by suppressing the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway.

Whole-genome sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia reveals distinct differences in the mutational landscape between IgHV mut and IgHV unmut subgroups. Leukemia 2017; 32:332-342. [PMID: 28584254 PMCID: PMC5808074 DOI: 10.1038/leu.2017.177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2017] [Revised: 04/18/2017] [Accepted: 05/17/2017] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) consists of two biologically and clinically distinct subtypes defined by the abundance of somatic hypermutation (SHM) affecting the Ig variable heavy-chain locus (IgHV). The molecular mechanisms underlying these subtypes are incompletely understood. Here, we present a comprehensive whole-genome sequencing analysis of somatically acquired genetic events from 46 CLL patients, including a systematic comparison of coding and non-coding single-nucleotide variants, copy number variants and structural variants, regions of kataegis and mutation signatures between IgHVmut and IgHVunmut subtypes. We demonstrate that one-quarter of non-coding mutations in regions of kataegis outside the Ig loci are located in genes relevant to CLL. We show that non-coding mutations in ATM may negatively impact on ATM expression and find non-coding and regulatory region mutations in TCL1A, and in IgHVunmut CLL in IKZF3, SAMHD1,PAX5 and BIRC3. Finally, we show that IgHVunmut CLL is dominated by coding mutations in driver genes and an aging signature, whereas IgHVmut CLL has a high incidence of promoter and enhancer mutations caused by aberrant activation-induced cytidine deaminase activity. Taken together, our data support the hypothesis that differences in clinical outcome and biological characteristics between the two subgroups might reflect differences in mutation distribution, incidence and distinct underlying mutagenic mechanisms.

Overexpression of long non-coding RNA GHET1 promotes the development of multidrug resistance in gastric cancer cells. Biomed Pharmacother 2017; 92:580-585. [PMID: 28578256 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2017.04.111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2017] [Revised: 04/24/2017] [Accepted: 04/24/2017] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AMID Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the main obstacle to successful chemotherapy for patients with gastric cancer (GC). The GHET1 affects a variety of cancer development, and increased GHET1 promotes gastric carcinoma cell proliferation. This study amid to investigate the effect of GHET1 on the development of MDR in gastric cancer cells. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we observed an increased expression levels of GHET1 in drug-resistant gastric cancer patients and cisplatin-resistant gastric cancer cell lines (BGC823/DPP and SGC7901/DDP cell line). Next, the two cell lines were used to in vitro validation of the effect of GHET1 expression on the MDR development. Silence of GHET1 in the two cisplatin-resistant gastric cancer cell lines inhibited the MDR with rising inhibition rate tested by MTT (methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium) assay. The apoptotic cell rate was analyzed by staining with Annexin V/PI. The results showed that the IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) of the two cisplatin-resistant gastric cancer cell lines transfected with si-GHET1 were significantly reduced. Contrary to inhibition of GHET1 in the two cisplatin-resistant gastric cancer cell lines, we found that overexpression of GHET1 reduced sensitivity of BGC823 and SGC7901 cells to cisplatin with decreased inhibition rate and apoptotic cell rate and increased IC50. Furthermore, the qRT-PCR and western blot results showed that overexpression of GHET1 downregulated Bax expression and upregulated Bcl-2, MDR1 and MRP1 expression in BGC823 and SGC7901 cells. CONCLUSION Highly expressing GHET1 promoted the development of MDR which was related to the Bax, Bcl-2, MDR1 and MRP1 genes expression in gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, in which platinum resistance is a common cause of its relapse and death. Glycosylation has been reported to be involved in drug resistance, and glycomic analyses of ovarian cancer may improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying cancer cell drug resistance and provide potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. METHODS The serous ovarian cancer cell line A2780 and its platinum-resistant counterpart A2780-cp were used in this study. We performed a lectin array analysis to compare the glycosylation patterns of the two cell lines, a gene expression array was employed to probe the differences in glycogenes. Furthermore, the results were verified by lectin blots. RESULTS A2780-cp cell exhibited stronger intensities of Lens culinaris (LCA) Canavalia ensiformis (ConA), and Lycopersicon esculentum (LEL) and weaker intensities of Sambucus nigra (SNA) lectins. The gene expression array analysis revealed increased expression of Fut8, B3gnt4, B3gnt5, B4galt2 and decreased expression of Fut1 and ST6GalNAc 6 expression were evident in the A2780-cp cells. The lectin blot confirmed the differences in LCA, ConA, SNA and LEL between the A2780 and A2780-cp cells. CONCLUSIONS The combination of the lectin and gene expression analyses showed that the levels of core fucosylation and poly-LacNAc were increased in the A2780-cp cells and the levels of Fuc α1-2(gal β1-4) GlcNAc and α2-6-linked sialic structures were decreased in the A2780-cp cells. These glycans represent potential biomarkers and might be involved in the mechanism of drug resistance in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Leukemia is a clonal malignant hematopoietic stem cell disease. It is the sixth most lethal cancer and accounts for 4% of all cancers. The main form of treatment for leukemia is chemotherapy. While some cancer types with a higher incidence than leukemia, such as lung and gastric cancer, have shown a sharp decline in mortality rates in recent years, leukemia has not followed this trend. Drug resistance is often regarded as the main clinical obstacle to effective chemotherapy in patients diagnosed with leukemia. Many resistance mechanisms have now been identified, and multidrug resistance (MDR) is considered the most important and prevalent mechanism involved in the failure of chemotherapy in leukemia. In order to reverse MDR and improve leukemia prognosis, effective detection methods are needed to identify drug resistance genes at initial diagnosis. This article provides a comprehensive overview of published approaches for the detection of MDR in leukemia. Identification of relevant MDR genes and methods for early detection of these genes will be needed in order to treat leukemia more effectively.

Abstract
Elevated expression of β-galactoside α2,6-sialyltranferase 1 (ST6GAL1) has been observed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and demonstrated to be important for its tumorigenesis. Here, we found that ST6GAL1 expression was significantly higher in non-metastatic tumors (stage I and II) than that in metastatic tumors (stage III and IV) using 62 pair-matched tumor/normal tissues. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of how ST6GAL1 affected the CRC progression, we performed a global identification of the substrates of ST6GAL1 in the colon adenocarcinoma cell line SW480. A total of 318 membrane proteins were identified differentially affected by ST6GAL1 overexpression using metabolic labeling and proteomic analysis. Subsequent bioinformatic analysis revealed a list of potential substrates that might mediate the different functions of ST6GAL1 in CRC including cell movement, cell death and survival. Taken together, these results indicate a dynamic change in the expression of ST6GAL1 during the CRC progression and provide a list of sialylated proteins potentially relevant to the different functions of ST6GAL1 in CRC.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effects and mechanism of pantoprazole on multidrug resistant leukemia K562/A02 and K562/ADM cell lines. K562/A02 and K562/ADM cells at logarithmic growth phase were pre-treated with different concentration of pantoprazole (0, 50, 100, 200 μg/mL) for 24 h. Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell growth cycle and apoptosis. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression of p-PI3K, p-AKT, p-mTOR, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP1). Pantoprazole pretreatment significantly increased the ratio of G0/G1 phase but decreased the S phase of K562/A02 and K562/ADM cells in dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05). Flow cytometry analysis indicated that pretreatment of leukemic cells with pantoprazole induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis indicated that pantoprazole pretreatment inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-mTOR, P-gp and MRP1 in K562/A02 and K562/ADM cells in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05). Pantoprazole arrested cell cycle and induced apoptosis of multidrug resistant leukemic cells by inhibiting the expression of P-gp and MRP1 through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) plays a pivotal role in human chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) chemotherapy failure. MDR is mainly associated with the overexpression of drug efflux transporters of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling cascade is involved in the MDR phenotype and is correlated with multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1)/P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) expression in many human malignancies. Homeobox (HOX) B4, a member of the HOX gene family, has been reported to be correlated with occurrence, development, poor prognosis and drug resistance of human leukemia. In the present study, HOXB4 expression was analyzed in K562 cell line and its MDR subline K562/ADM. Compared with K562 cells, drug-resistant K562/ADM cells demonstrated evidently higher HOXB4 expression. In addition, we firstly investigated the reversal effect of HOXB4 deletion on K562/ADM cells and the underlying mechanism. The Cell Counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assays showed that knockdown of HOXB4 enhanced chemosensitivity and decreased drug efflux in K562/ADM cells. Moreover, HOXB4 knockout led to downregulation of P-gp, MRP1 and BCRP expression and PI3K/Akt signaling activity, suggesting that repression of HOXB4 might be a key point to reverse MDR of K562/ADM cells.

Abstract
The expression of unusual glycan structures is a hallmark of cancer progression, and their functional roles in cancer biology have been extensively investigated in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) models. EMT is a physiological process involved in embryonic development and wound healing. It is characterized by loss of epithelial cell polarity and cell adhesion, permitting cell migration, and thus formation of new epithelia. However, this process is unwanted when occurring outside their physiological limit, resulting in fibrosis of organs and progression of cancer and metastasis. Several studies observed that EMT is related to the acquisition of multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype, a condition in which cancer cells acquire resistance to multiple different drugs, which has virtually nothing in common. However, although some studies suggested interplay between these two apparently distinct phenomena, almost nothing is known about this possible relationship. A common pathway to them is the need for glycosylation, a post-translational modification that can alter biological function. Thus, this review intends to compile the main facts obtained until now in these two areas, as an effort to unravel the relationship between EMT and MDR.

Abstract
Glycans are crucial for many key biological processes and their alterations are often a hallmark of disease. Thus, multiplexed and sensitive analysis of glycans is of intense interest. Here we report a novel approach using DNA-mediated cell surface engineering for glycan profiling by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS). Following lectin binding, DNA amplification and hybridization, glycans on the cell surface are specifically labeled by short DNA probes, which can be facilely released, ionized and detected in MALDI-TOF MS. This strategy converts the analysis of glycans to the detection of DNA probes, overcoming the complicated composition and low ionization efficiency of glycans, enabling in situ detection and facilitating multiplex analysis. The amplification procedure also improves the sensitivity. This approach has been applied to evaluate glycomic alterations in cancer cells and provided the intrinsic distribution of glycans in tissues using MALDI imaging mass spectrometry.

Oncol Rep 2016; 36:263-70. [PMID: 27121324 DOI: 10.3892/or.2016.4771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2015] [Accepted: 03/01/2016] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The development of multidrug resistance (MDR) is a crucial cause of therapy failure in gastric cancer, which results in disease recurrence and metastasis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proven to be critical in carcinogenesis and metastasis of gastric cancer. However, little is known about the roles of ANRIL (antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus) in gastric cancer MDR. The aim of our study is to identify the biological function of ANRIL in gastric cancer MDR. In our results, ANRIL was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues of cisplatin-resistant and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant patients, and the same upregulation trends were observed in cisplatin-resistant cells (BGC823/DDP) and 5-FU-resistant cells (BGC823/5-FU). In addition, BGC823/DDP and BGC823/5-FU cells transfected with ANRIL siRNA and treated with cisplatin or 5-FU, respectively, exhibited significant lower survival rate, decreased invasion capability, and high percentage of apoptotic tumor cells. The influence of ANRIL knockdown on MDR was assessed by measuring IC50 of BGC823/DDP and BGC823/5-FU cells to cisplatin and 5-FU, the result showed that silencing ANRIL decreased the IC50 values in gastric cancer cells. Moreover, qRT-PCR and western blotting revealed that ANRIL knockdown decreased the expression of MDR1 and MRP1, both of which are MDR related genes; regression analysis showed that the expression of ANRIL positively correlated with the expression of MDR1 and MRP1, resprectively In summary, knockdown of lncRNA ANRIL in gastric cancer cells inhibits the development of MDR, suggesting an efficacious target for reversing MDR in gastric cancer therapy.

Abstract
Drug resistance limits leukemia treatment and chaetominine, a cytotoxic alkaloid that promotes apoptosis in a K562 human leukemia cell line via the mitochondrial pathway was studied with respect to chemoresistance in a K562/Adr human resistant leukemia cell line. Cytotoxicity assays indicated that K562/Adr resistance to adriamycin (ADR) did not occur in the presence of chaetominine and that chaetominine increased chemosensitivity of K562/Adr to ADR. Data show that chaetominine enhanced ADR-induced apoptosis and intracellular ADR accumulation in K562/Adr cells. Accordingly, chaetominine induced apoptosis by upregulating ROS, pro-apoptotic Bax and downregulating anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. RT-PCR and western-blot confirmed that chaetominine suppressed highly expressed MRP1 at mRNA and protein levels. But little obvious alternation of another drug transporter MDR1 mRNA was observed. Furthermore, inhibition of MRP1 by chaetominine relied on inhibiting Akt phosphorylation and nuclear Nrf2. In summary, chaetominine strongly reverses drug resistance by interfering with the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling, resulting in reduction of MRP1-mediated drug efflux and induction of Bax/Bcl-2-dependent apoptosis in an ADR-resistant K562/Adr leukemia cell line.

Abstract
N-glycosylation of cell surface proteins affects protein function, stability, and interaction with other proteins. Orai channels, which mediate store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), are composed of N-glycosylated subunits. Upon activation by Ca(2+) sensor proteins (stromal interaction molecules STIM1 or STIM2) in the endoplasmic reticulum, Orai Ca(2+) channels in the plasma membrane mediate Ca(2+) influx. Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, and Siglecs are a family of sialic acid-binding lectins with immunoglobulin-like repeats. Using Western blot analysis and lectin-binding assays from various primary human cells and cancer cell lines, we found that glycosylation of Orai1 is cell type-specific. Ca(2+) imaging experiments and patch-clamp experiments revealed that mutation of the only glycosylation site of Orai1 (Orai1N223A) enhanced SOCE in Jurkat T cells. Knockdown of the sialyltransferase ST6GAL1 reduced α-2,6-linked sialic acids in the glycan structure of Orai1 and was associated with increased Ca(2+) entry in Jurkat T cells. In human mast cells, inhibition of sialyl sulfation altered the N-glycan of Orai1 (and other proteins) and increased SOCE. These data suggest that cell type-specific glycosylation influences the interaction of Orai1 with specific lectins, such as Siglecs, which then attenuates SOCE. In summary, the glycosylation state of Orai1 influences SOCE-mediated Ca(2+) signaling and, thus, may contribute to pathophysiological Ca(2+) signaling observed in immune disease and cancer.

Abstract
Up-regulation of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) is regarded as one of the main causes for multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumor cells, leading to failure of chemotherapy-based treatment for a multitude of cancers. However, whether silencing the overexpressed MRP1 is sufficient to reverse MDR has yet to be validated. This study demonstrated that RNAi-based knockdown of MRP1 reversed the increased efflux ability and MDR efficiently. Two different short haipin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting MRP1 were designed and inserted into pSilence- 2.1-neo. The shRNA recombinant plasmids were transfected into cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum-resistant A549 lung (A549/DDP) cells, and then shRNA expressing cell clones were collected and maintained. Real time PCR and immunofluorescence staining for MRP1 revealed a high silent efficiency of these two shRNAs. Functionally, shRNA-expressing cells showed increased rhodamine 123 retention in A549/DDP cells, indicating reduced efflux ability of tumor cells in the absence of MRP1. Consistently, MRP1-silent cells exhibited decreased resistance to 3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and DDP, suggesting reversal of MDR in these tumor cells. Specifically, MRP1 knockdown increased the DDP-induced apoptosis of A549/DDP cells by increased trapping of their cell cycling in the G2 stage. Taken together, this study demonstrated that RNAi- based silencing of MRP1 is sufficient to reverse MDR in tumor cells, shedding light on possible novel clinical treatment of cancers.

Glycosyltransferase ST6GAL1 contributes to the regulation of pluripotency in human pluripotent stem cells. Sci Rep 2015; 5:13317.

Abstract
Many studies have suggested the significance of glycosyltransferase-mediated macromolecule glycosylation in the regulation of pluripotent states in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Here, we observed that the sialyltransferase ST6GAL1 was preferentially expressed in undifferentiated hPSCs compared to non-pluripotent cells. A lectin which preferentially recognizes α-2,6 sialylated galactosides showed strong binding reactivity with undifferentiated hPSCs and their glycoproteins, and did so to a much lesser extent with differentiated cells. In addition, downregulation of ST6GAL1 in undifferentiated hPSCs led to a decrease in POU5F1 (also known as OCT4) protein and significantly altered the expression of many genes that orchestrate cell morphogenesis during differentiation. The induction of cellular pluripotency in somatic cells was substantially impeded by the shRNA-mediated suppression of ST6GAL1, partially through interference with the expression of endogenous POU5F1 and SOX2. Targeting ST6GAL1 activity with a sialyltransferase inhibitor during cell reprogramming resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in the generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Collectively, our data indicate that ST6GAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of pluripotency and differentiation in hPSCs, and the pluripotent state in human cells can be modulated using pharmacological tools to target sialyltransferase activity.

Abstract
Tumor metastasis is not only a sign of disease severity but also a major factor causing treatment failure and cancer-related death. Therefore, studies on the molecular mechanisms of tumor metastasis are critical for the development of treatments and for the improvement of survival. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an orderly, polygenic biological process that plays an important role in tumor cell invasion, metastasis and chemoresistance. The complex, multi-step process of EMT involves multiple regulatory mechanisms. Specifically, the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway can affect the EMT in a variety of ways to influence tumor aggressiveness. A better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms related to the EMT can provide a theoretical basis for the early prediction of tumor progression as well as targeted therapy.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) plays a protective role in the etiology and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which results from oxidative stress and inflammation of lung injury. The lower functional MRP1 activity is related to COPD development. Our previous study showed that Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) induced the expression and activity of MRP1 in a dose-dependent manner. However, which signaling pathway contributes to the upregulation of MRP1 by AITC is unclear. In this study, signaling pathway specific inhibitors were used to examine the mechanism of AITC. We found that JNK inhibitor SP600125 treatment decreased MRP1 mRNA expression in 16HBE14o- cells. But the ERK inhibitor U0126 or PI3K/Akt inhibitor LY294002 produced no obvious effect. The AITC-induced increase of MRP1 mRNA expression was abolished by cotreatment of SP600125, while it was not obviously affected by U0126 or LY294002. Furthermore, AITC acivates the JNK signaling pathway in 16HBE14o- cells. Finally, we found that JNK pathway mediated the upregulation of AITC-induced expression and function of MRP1. Taken together, our results indicated that AITC increased the expression and the activity of MRP1 via a JNK-dependent pathway. ERK and PI3K signaling pathway were not involved in the expression of MRP1 mRNA.

Abstract
Drug resistance is an important obstacle to human leukemia therapeutics. Piperlongumine has previously demonstrated the ability to suppress certain human tumor processes; however, the ability of piperlongumine to reverse the drug resistance of human leukemia and its mechanism of action have not yet been clearly elucidated. In this study, the doxorubicin resistance reversal effect of piperlongumine on K562/A02 human leukemia cells and the underlying mechanism were investigated. The results indicated that piperlongumine promoted doxorubicin sensitivity, apoptosis, the intracellular accumulation of rhodamine-123, the activities of caspase-3 and -8, and the expression of reactive oxygen species, p53, p27 and p-PTEN. Furthermore, it suppressed the expression of P-glycoprotein, MDR1, MRP1, survivin and p-Akt, and the transcriptional activities of NF-κB and twist, and arrested the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. The results indicate that piperlongumine has the potential to be used as a therapeutic agent for human leukemia.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic drug resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a significant problem, resulting in poor responsiveness to first-line treatment or relapse after transient remission. Classical anti-leukemic drugs are non-specific cell cycle poisons; some more modern drugs target oncogenic pathways in leukemia cells, although in ALL these do not play a very significant role. By contrast, the molecular interactions between microenvironment and leukemia cells are often neglected in the design of novel therapies against drug resistant leukemia. It was shown however, that chemotherapy resistance is promoted in part through cell–cell contact of leukemia cells with bone marrow (BM) stromal cells, also called cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance (CAM-DR). Incomplete response to chemotherapy results in persistence of resistant clones with or without detectable minimal residual disease (MRD). Approaches for how to address CAM-DR and MRD remain elusive. Specifically, studies using anti-functional antibodies and genetic models have identified integrin alpha4 as a critical molecule regulating BM homing and active retention of normal and leukemic cells. Pre-clinical evidence has been provided that interference with alpha4-mediated adhesion of ALL cells can sensitize them to chemotherapy and thus facilitate eradication of ALL cells in an MRD setting. To this end, Andreeff and colleagues recently provided evidence of stroma-induced and alpha4-mediated nuclear factor-κB signaling in leukemia cells, disruption of which depletes leukemia cells of strong survival signals. We here review the available evidence supporting the targeting of alpha4 as a novel strategy for treatment of drug resistant leukemia.
