Abstract

Multidrug resistance is a major obstacle for the successful use of chemotherapy. The multidrug resistance phenotype is often attributed to overexpression of P-glycoprotein, which is an energy-dependent drug efflux pump. We investigated a new strategy to overcome multidrug resistance, using purified bovine serum amine oxidase, which generates two major toxic products from the polyamine spermine. The cytotoxicity of the aldehyde(s) and H2O2, produced by the enzymatic oxidation of micromolar concentrations of spermine, was evaluated in multidrug resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells CHRC5 with overexpression of P-glycoprotein, using a clonogenic cell survival assay. We examined the ability of hyperthermia (42 degrees C), and inhibition of cellular detoxification systems, to sensitize multidrug resistant cells to spermine oxidation products. Severe depletion of intracellular glutathione was achieved using L-buthionine sulfoximine and inhibition of glutathione S-transferase by ethacrynic acid. CH(R)C5 cells showed no resistance to the toxic oxidation products of spermine, relative to drug-sensitive AuxB1 cells. Exogenous catalase protected cells against cytotoxicity of H2O2, but spermine-derived aldehyde(s) still caused some cytotox...Continue Reading
