Mutational analysis of P-glycoprotein: suppression of caspase activation in the absence of ATP-dependent drug efflux

Abstract: P-glycoprotein (P-gp) can induce multidrug resistance (MDR) through the ATP-dependent efflux of chemotherapeutic agents. We have previously shown that P-gp can inhibit nondrug apoptotic stimuli by suppressing the activation of caspases. To determine if this additional activity is functionally linked to ATP hydrolysis, we expressed wild-type and ATPase-mutant P-gp and showed that cells expressing mutant P-gp could not efflux chemotherapeutic drugs but remained relatively resistant to apoptosis.

“…In fact, this antiapoptotic effect persisted even when MDR1/Pgp was rendered inactive by mutation of key lysine residues of the Walker A region. Intriguingly, these data suggest a dual activity model for MDR1/Pgp-induced MDR, involving both ATPase-dependent drug efflux and ATPase-independent inhibition of apoptosis (369). Although direct interaction between MDR1/Pgp and apoptotic enzymes has not been documented, it has also been hypothesized that MDR1/ Pgp acts as a primary antiapoptotic regulator by reducing ceramide levels either through the reduction of inner leaflet sphingomyelin pools or through the modulation of the glyco-sphingomyelin pathway (222,377).…”

“…In addition to this generally accepted role as a drug transporter, P-gp seems to be active as a regulatory protein with antiapoptotic effects, and this additional role is independent of its transport function (Pallis and Russell 2000;Ruefli 2003;Breier et al 2013). The main evidence for this assumption is the fact that a transport-defective P-gp mutant expressed in CEM lymphoma cells decreases apoptosis progression induced by vincristine (VCR) (Tainton et al 2004). Moreover, we have described less pronounced apoptosis progression induced by cisplatin (cisPt, not a P-gp substrate) in two P-gp-positive mouse leukemia cell variants, obtained either by selection with VCR (L1210/R) or by transfection with the human gene encoding P-gp (L1210/T) when compared with P-gp-negative parental L1210 cells (Gibalova et al , 2012.…”

“…In addition to being a drug-efflux pump, Pgp has been shown to confer resistance to apoptosis induced by many chemotherapeutic drugs. It will be interesting to determine whether the inhibitory effect of Pgp on caspase activation [10], which does not require ATP hydrolysis activity [11], can be transferred to acceptor cells. The observed slower growth of acceptor cells following transfer of Pgp suggests the involvement of additional proteins or factors.…”
