Abstract

Previous reports suggest that resistance to mitoxantrone in different tumor cell lines is unrelated to the overexpression of p-glycoprotein. In order to determine the role of p-glycoprotein in the cellular pharmacology of mitoxantrone flow cytometry and confocal microscopy were used to study two human myeloid leukemia cell lines selected for resistance to mitoxantrone (HL-60MX2) and doxorubicin (HL-60DOX). To optimize the detection of intracellular mitoxantrone, we determined the maximum excitation (607 nm) and emission (684 nm) wavelength by fluorescence spectroscopy. The modified flow cytometric conditions using 568.2 nm laser emission for excitation and a 620 nm long pass filter for fluorescence collection resulted in a 1-log increase in sensitivity, compared with standard 488-nm laser excitation. Uptake and retention of mitoxantrone in the presence of verapamil, a calcium channel blocker known to inhibit p-glycoprotein, were analyzed. Our results showed no change in uptake and retention of the drug in p-glycoprotein-negative mitoxantrone-resistant HL-60MX2 cells and in its sensitive parental line, HL-60s. In contrast, 3.1- and 2.4-fold increases were found in uptake and retention of mitoxantrone in p-glycoprotein-positive c...Continue Reading
