Retention of activity by selected anthracyclines in a multidrug resistant human large cell lung carcinoma line without P-glycoprotein hyperexpression.

A subline (COR-L23/R) of the human large cell lung line [corrected] COR-L23, derived by in vivo exposure to doxorubicin, exhibits an unusual multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype. This subline shows cross-resistance to daunorubicin, vincristine, colchicine and etoposide but does not express P-glycopro...

Research Article A subline (COR-L23/R) of the human large cell lung line [corrected] COR-L23, derived by in vivo exposure to doxorubicin, exhibits an unusual multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype. This subline shows cross-resistance to daunorubicin, vincristine, colchicine and etoposide but does not express P-glycoprotein. Interestingly, COR-L23/R [corrected] shows little or no resistance to a range of structurally-modified analogues of doxorubicin comprising 9-alkyl and/or sugar modified anthracyclines. We have previously identified these same compounds as effective agents against P-glycoprotein-positive MDR cell lines. In contrast to typical MDR cell lines, COR-L23/R [corrected] shows only minimal chemosensitisation by verapamil and no collateral sensitivity to verapamil. Compared to the parental cell line, COR-L23/R [corrected] displays reduced accumulation of doxorubicin and daunorubicin. Accumulation defects were apparent only after 0.5-1 h of incubation of cells with these agents. The rate of daunorubicin efflux was shown to be enhanced by COR-L23/R [corrected] and this efflux was demonstrated to be energy-dependent. The use of anthracyclines which retain activity in MDR cells thus appears to be a valid approach for the circumvention of MDR, not only in cells which express P-glycoprotein, but also where defective drug accumulation is due to other mechanisms possibly involving an alternative multidrug transporter. 1991-03 /pmc/articles/PMC1971875/ /pubmed/1672252 Text en
