Liang XJ, Shen DW, Garfield S, Gottesman MM: Mislocalization of membrane proteins associated with multidrug resistance in cisplatin-resistant cancer cell lines. Cancer Res. 2003 Sep 15;63(18):5909-16. The accumulation of [(14) C] carboplatin and [(3) H] methotrexate is reduced in single-step KB epidermoid adenocarcinoma (KB-CP) cells, which are cross-resistant to carboplatin, methotrexate, and sodium arsenite. In these KB-CP cells, multidrug resistance is accompanied by mislocalization of multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP) 1 and other membrane proteins such as folate-binding protein. MRP1 was not decreased in amount in single-step variants but accumulates in a cytoplasmic fraction, and its apparent molecular weight was altered probably because of reduced glycosylation in resistant cells. This low-density compartment was partially labeled with antibodies to lectin-GSII (a Golgi marker) and Bip/GRP78 (an endoplasmic reticulum marker). Pulse-chase labeling of MRP1 with (35) S-methionine and (35) S-cysteine and pulse-chase biotinylation of cell surface MRP1 suggests that membrane protein mislocalization is caused mainly by a defect of plasma membrane protein recycling, manifested also as a defect in acidification of lysosomes. The reduced accumulation of cytotoxic compounds in the KB-CP cells is presumed to result from the failure of carrier proteins and/or transporters to localize to the plasma membrane. |
