Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a transmembrane protein that transports a variety of structurally and functionally diverse drugs. We recently found that the interaction of drugs with P-gp promoted invasion and metastasis. In this study, we sought to determine the mechanism by which the interaction of P-gp with its substrates leads to the earliest membrane changes associated with cellular invasion, i.e., membrane ruffling. We focused on the activation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI-3-kinase), a lipid kinase that regulates actin cytoskeletal organization and cell movement. Sensitive or multidrug-resistant (MDR) MCF-7 (human breast cancer) or KB (human oral carcinoma) cells were treated with drugs or vehicle, and then were stained with phalloidin-tetramethyl-rhodamine isothiocyanate. Membrane ruffles were visualized using a fluorescence microscope. PI-3-kinase activity was determined by an in vitro immune-complex kinase assay and thin-layer chromatography. Drugs transported by P-gp, vinblastine and trans-flupenthixol, increased membrane ruffling and PI-3-kinase activity in the MDR cell lines, MCF-7/AdrR and KBV-1, which overexpress P-gp. This effect was not seen with mechlorethamine, a drug that is not transported by P-gp, and was ...Continue Reading
