Abstract
Resistance to anthracyclines is related to a poor prognosis in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Resistance to this class of drugs may (partly) be reversed by modulating agents, as has been demonstrated in a variety of cell lines. However, it is unknown which modulators may be of clinical benefit in childhood ALL. Therefore, we studied the modulating effect of PSC 833, cyclosporin A (CsA), verapamil (Vp) and genistein on daunorubicin (DNR) cytotoxicity, accumulation and retention in childhood ALL cells. DNR cytotoxicity was determined using the MTT assay; DNR accumulation, DNR retention and the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) and major vault protein/lung resistance protein (LRP) were determined by flow cytometry. In the majority of samples PSC 833 (19/26), CsA (22/26) and Vp (15/18) sensitized the cells to DNR whereas genistein made 25 out of 26 samples more resistant to DNR. The sensitizing effect on the cytotoxicity of DNR was median 1.2-fold using 2 microM PSC 833 (P = 0.025), 1.5-fold using 4 microM CsA (P = 0.003) and 1.6-fold using 6 microM Vp (P = 0.012) whereas the adverse effect of 25 microM genistein was median 1.8-fold (P < 0.0001). No relationship was fo...Continue Reading
