  4. Estimated Cancer Cases… • Approximately 93,000 women in the U.S. were estimated to have resistant or refractory ovarian cancer in 2008…..

  5. Mechanisms of Drug Resistance… Gottesman MM, 2002

  6. Domain Organization of ABC Proteins… John A. Shelps et al. 2004

  7. Topology of Three Multi-drug Transporters..

  12. Mapping Drug Binding Domains of ABCC1 Deeley & Cole, 2006 Karwatsky, J. & Georges, E 2004

  13. Reversing Agent of ABCB1 MDR P-glycoprotein-mediated MDR: Reversal agent Pouliot JP, et al. 1998

  14. Different Approaches to Selectively Target ABC-Mediated MDR Cells Normal Function (drug efflux) ABC-mediate Apoptosis (Collateral Sensitivity) Reversing Agents (Blocker Drug) • Regulation of ABC proteins functions by inhibition of protein Interactions • Selective targeting of MDR cells through Activation rather than inhibition of ABC proteins ATPase activities Regulate (Protein-interactions) Bypass (non-substrates)

  15. Selective Targeting of ABC Proteins in MDR Cells Targeting ABCC1-expressing MDR Cells ABCC1 Efflux of GSH, GSH Conjugates and Cytotoxic Drugs Cole S.

  16. Hyper-sensitivity of ABCC1 MDR CellsABCC1 Positive Tumour Cells are Hyper-sensitive to Specific Drugs Buthionine Sulfoximine (BSO): γ-GCS inhibitor Verapamil (Vrp): MRP1 modulator Apigenin (Api): MRP1 modulator H69 or HeLa: square H69AR or HeLaMRP1: Triangles H69PR: Diamonds Laberge et al. 2007

  17. ABCC1 Activators Induce Apoptosis….GSH Depletion Leads to ROS Accumulation and Subsequent Apoptosis Verapamil Verapamil Apigenin Apigenin BSO BSO Apoptosis ROS GSH BSO: 50 µM; Vrp: 50 µM; Api: 25 µM Laberge et al. 2007

  18. Collateral- or Hyper-sensitivity of MDR Cells June L. Biedler, Cancer Res. 1994

  19. Hyper-sensitivity of MDR Cells to Verapamil Karwatsky et al. Biochemistry 2003

  20. Verapamil Hyper-sensitivity Requires Active ABCB1 ATPase Karwatsky et al. Biochemistry 2003

  22. Mechanism of Verapamil Hyper-sensitivity Higher ROS due to Increased ATPase Activity Higher basal ATPase in MDR cells Verapamil increases ROS & decreases cellular GSH levels in MDR cells Verapamil decreases cellular ATP in MDR cells Karwatsky et al. Biochemistry 2003
