Purpose
Drug efflux transporter associated multi-drug resistance (MDR) is a potential limitation in the use of taxane chemotherapies for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. ABT-751 is an orally bioavailable microtubule-binding agent capable of overcoming MDR and proposed as an alternative to taxane-based therapies.
Methods
This study compares ABT-751 to taxanes in vitro, utilizing seven melanoma cell line models, publicly available gene expression and drug sensitivity databases, a lung cancer cell line model of MDR drug efflux transporter overexpression (DLKP-A), and drug efflux transporter ATPase assays.
Results
Melanoma cell lines exhibit a low but variable protein and RNA expression of drug efflux transporters P-gp, BCRP, and MDR3. Expression of P-gp and MDR3 correlates with sensitivity to taxanes, but not to ABT-751. The anti-proliferative IC50 profile of ABT-751 was higher than the taxanes docetaxel and paclitaxel in the melanoma cell line panel, but fell within clinically achievable parameters. ABT-751 IC50 was not impacted by P-gp-overexpression in DKLP-A cells, which display strong resistance to the P-gp substrate taxanes compared to DLKP parental controls. The addition of ABT-751 to paclitaxel treatment significantly decreased cell proliferation, suggesting some reversal of MDR. ATPase activity assays suggest that ABT-751 is a potential BCRP substrate, with the ability to inhibit P-gp ATPase activity.
Conclusion
Our study confirms that ABT-751 is active against melanoma cell lines and models of MDR at physiologically relevant concentrations, it inhibits P-gp ATPase activity, and it may be a BCRP and/or MDR3 substrate. ABT-751 warrants further investigation alone or in tandem with other drug efflux transporter inhibitors for hard-to-treat MDR melanoma.

ABT-751(一种能够克服多重耐药性的新型抗有丝分裂剂)在黑色素瘤细胞中的评价
目的
药物外排转运蛋白相关的多药耐药性(MDR)是使用紫杉烷化疗治疗转移性黑色素瘤的潜在限制。 ABT-751 是一种口服生物可利用的微管结合剂,能够克服 MDR,并被提议作为紫杉烷类疗法的替代品。
方法
本研究利用七种黑色素瘤细胞系模型、公开的基因表达和药物敏感性数据库、MDR 药物外排转运蛋白过度表达 (DLKP-A) 的肺癌细胞系模型和药物外排转运蛋白 ATP 酶,在体外比较 ABT-751 和紫杉烷类药物化验。
结果
黑色素瘤细胞系的药物外排转运蛋白 P-gp、BCRP 和 MDR3 的蛋白质和 RNA 表达水平较低,但变化较大。 P-gp 和 MDR3 的表达与紫杉烷类药物的敏感性相关,但与 ABT-751 的敏感性无关。在黑色素瘤细胞系组中,ABT-751 的抗增殖 IC 50高于紫杉烷类多西紫杉醇和紫杉醇,但处于临床可实现的参数范围内。 ABT-751 IC 50不受 DKLP-A 细胞中 P-gp 过表达的影响,与 DLKP 亲本对照相比,DKLP-A 细胞对 P-gp 底物紫杉烷表现出强抗性。在紫杉醇治疗中添加 ABT-751 显着降低了细胞增殖,表明 MDR 有所逆转。 ATPase 活性测定表明 ABT-751 是一种潜在的 BCRP 底物,能够抑制 P-gp ATPase 活性。
结论
我们的研究证实,ABT-751 在生理相关浓度下对黑色素瘤细胞系和 MDR 模型具有活性,它抑制 P-gp ATP 酶活性,并且可能是 BCRP 和/或 MDR3 底物。 ABT-751 值得进一步研究单独或与其他药物外排转运蛋白抑制剂联合治疗难以治疗的 MDR 黑色素瘤。
