Abstract

Selection of cells for resistance to vincristine or doxorubicin often induces overexpression of the multidrug resistance (MDR) genes, which encode the cell surface P-glycoproteins, as a result of gene amplification, transcriptional activation, or mRNA stabilization. The LMD1 and LMD4 cell lines were established after the transfer into mouse L cells of two independent yeast artificial chromosome clones containing 300 and 850 kb, respectively, of the human MDR locus. The human MDR1/PGY1 gene, but not the endogenous mouse mdr1a and mdr1b genes, was overexpressed as a result of gene amplification and transcriptional activation in various sublines of LMD1 and LMD4 cells selected for resistance to vincristine. Then we asked why human MDR1/PGY1 gene, but not mouse relevant gene, was expressed. Determination of the methylation status of cytosine residues at Msp I/Hap II cleavage sites (CCGG) in the promoter regions of human MDR1/PGY1 and mouse mdr1a revealed hypomethylation and hypermethylation of the human and mouse genes, respectively in LMD1, LMD4, and their vincristine-resistant derivatives. Various vincristine-resistant sublines were also established after exposure of LMD1 cells for 48 h to 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine, an inhibitor of ...Continue Reading
