Abstract

Recently, we reported that the human GSTP1 is phosphorylated and functionally activated by the PKC class of serine/threonine kinases. In this study, we investigated the contribution of this post-translational modification of GSTP1 to tumor cisplatin resistance. Using two malignant glioma cell lines, MGR1 and MGR3, the ability of PKCα-phosphorylated GSTP1 to catalyze the conjugation of cisplatin to glutathione was assessed and correlated with cisplatin sensitivity and cisplatin-induced DNA interstrand cross-links and apoptosis of the cells. The results showed PKCα activation and associated phosphorylation of GSTP1 to correlate significantly with increased glutathionylplatinum formation, decreased DNA interstrand cross-link formation and increased cisplatin resistance. Following PKC activation, the IC(50) of cisplatin increased from 13.63μM to 36.49μM in MGR1 and from 20.75μM to 38.45μM in MGR3. In both cell lines, siRNA-mediated GSTP1 or PKCα transcriptional suppression similarly decreased cisplatin IC(50) and was associated with decreased intracellular levels of glutathionylplatinum metabolite. Combined inhibition/transcriptional suppression of both PKCα and GSTP1 was synergistic in enhancing cisplatin sensitivity. Although, ci...Continue Reading
