Mechanisms of resistance to anti-cancer drugs Reduced apoptosis Altered cell cycle checkpoints Increased metabolism of drugs Increased or altered targets Increased repair of damage Compartmentalization Increased efflux Decreased uptake
Drug Resistance in Cancer • May affect multiple drugs used simultaneously: known as multidrug resistance (MDR) • Affects all classes of drugs, including newly designed targetted drugs • Just as oncogene targets have been catalogued, we need to enumerate all mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer to solve this problem and circumvent resistance
Ultimate Goal: To use molecular analysis of human cancers to predict response to specific therapy To use this information to develop novel drugs to treat cancer To learn more about cellular pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of drugs

Questions about the mechanism of action of P-glycoprotein • How does P-glycoprotein recognize so many different substrates? • What do the two ATP binding cassettes do? • How is substrate binding linked to ATP hydrolysis?
P-glycoprotein removes hydrophobic substrates directly from the plasma membrane
ATP sites in P-glycoprotein • Both sites are essential; mutations in either site knock out transport function • Sites work sequentially; only one site at a time binds and hydrolyzes ATP • Stoichiometry of transport indicates that hydrolysis of two molecules of ATP are needed to transport one molecule of drug
Lessons learned from mdr1a/mdr1b knockout mice (Berns, Schinkel, Borst) • Mice are fully viable and fertile under controlled lab conditions • Mice are very sensitive to toxic xenobiotics, especially those which are neurotoxic • Pharmacokinetics of many different P-gp substrates altered: Vinca alkaloids, digoxin, fexofenadine, ivermectin--increased GI absorption, decreased kidney and liverexcretion
Polymorphisms in the MDR1 gene • 5 common coding polymorphisms (Asn21Asp, Phe103Leu, Ser400Asn, Ala892Ser, Ala998Thr) have no demonstrable effect on drug transport function • 1 polymorphism (C3435T) which doesn’t change coding sequence is linked to altered function in intestines and kidney in some studies (Siebenlist et al.). It is part of a haplotype involving two other polymorphisms (C1236T and G2677T). All three insert rare codons in the place of more common ones. This results in increased absorption and decreased excretion of digoxin and fexofenadine.

MDR1 wild-type and haplotype show the same P-gp cell surface expression using MRK16 and 17F9, but not UIC2 - a conformational sensitive antibody pTM1 WT 1236-2677-3435
MDR1 wild-type and haplotype show different trypsinization patterns confirming altered conformation
Conclusions • We hypothesize that the use of a rare codon by the synonymous polymorphism affects the rhythm of co-translational folding and insertion of P-gp into the membrane. This may alter the structure of substrate and inhibitor interaction sites. • Synonymous polymorphisms (especially for transporters) should not be ruled out as having potential phenotypic significance, and synonymous mutations may lead to significant genetic disease.

Role of P-glycoprotein in cancer • Approximately 50% of human cancers express P-glycoprotein at levels sufficient to confer MDR • Cancers which acquire expression of P-gp following treatment of the patient include leukemias, myeloma, lymphomas, breast, ovarian cancer; preliminary results with P-gp inhibitors suggest improved response to chemotherapy in some of these patients • Cancers which express P-gp at time of diagnosis include colon, kidney, pancreas, liver; these do not respond to P-gp inhibitors alone and have other mechanisms of resistance
