Abstract

The multidrug transporter, initially identified as a multidrug efflux pump responsible for resistance of cultured cells to natural product cytotoxic drugs, is normally expressed on the apical membranes of excretory epithelial cells in the liver, kidney, and intestine. This localization suggests that the multidrug transporter may have a normal physiological role in transporting cytotoxic compounds or metabolites. In the liver, hepatectomy or treatment with chemical carcinogens increases expression of the MDR1 gene which encodes the multidrug transporter. To evaluate conditions which increase MDR1 gene expression, we have investigated the induction of the MDR1 gene by physical and chemical environmental insults in the renal adenocarcinoma cell line HTB-46. There are two strong heat shock consensus elements in the major MDR1 gene promoter. Exposure of HTB-46 cells to heat shock, sodium arsenite, or cadmium chloride led to a 7- to 8-fold increase in MDR1 mRNA levels. MDR1 RNA levels did not change following glucose starvation or treatment with 2-deoxyglucose and the calcium ionophore A23187, conditions which are known to activate the expression of another family of stress proteins, the glucose-regulated proteins. The levels of the multidrug transporter, P-glycoprotein, as measured by immunoprecipitation, were also increased after heat shock and sodium arsenite treatment. This increase in the level of the multidrug transporter in HTB-46 cells correlated with a transient increase in resistance to vinblastine following heat shock and arsenite treatment. These results suggest that the MDR1 gene is regulatable by environmental stress.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
