We have previously shown that the level of labeling with Hoechst 33342 and rhodamine 123 in established cell lines was decreased in cells with 'classic' MDR phenotype. This functional test was carried out using fluorescence image cytometry on living cells. We applied this protocol to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Although a large variability of the labeling is observed in cells from healthy donors, this approach seems to be useful for early detection of P-gp-dependent resistance in leukemia cells and for identification of new reversing agents on patient lymphocytes.

This phenotype is referred to as multidrug-resistance (MDR). A protocol based on reduced accumulation of fluorescent dyes is proposed for discriminating MDR cells in cell populations. The combination of three fluorescent dyes, Hoechst 33342, rhodamine 123 and Nile red, with different intracellular targets, has been designed to characterize cells with different levels of resistance, using image cytometry. The fluorescence intensity of each dye was quantified in living cells. The protocol was applied to human leukemia cell lines, (K562, K562/ADR, CCRF-CEM, CEM/VLB100, CEM/VM-1). The effect of verapamil on dye accumulation is emphasized.

We addressed the question of whether R123 could compete with substrates or inhibitors (vinblastine, colchicine, verapamil) of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) overexpressed in MDR cells, using fluorescence image cytometry. Verapamil caused a dose-dependent increase in R123 accumulation. R123 accumulation was increased by vinblastine only at high levels and colchicine had no effect on R123 accumulation. Treatments with two drugs altered R123 accumulation depending on drug concentration ratio. The results indicate that vinblastine, R123 and verapamil can compete for outward transport by Pgp. A dual effect of vinblastine suggests that vinblastine can activate Pgp at low concentrations and inhibit R123 transport at higher concentrations.

Although Pgp has a broad-spectrum specificity, this protein seems to react preferentially with amphiphilic and cationic molecules. Rhodamine 123 (R123) is widely used as a marker for mitochondria in living cells and its uptake is dependent on plasma and mitochondrial membrane potential. More recently, cross-resistance to R123 in cells resistant to adriamycin has been demonstrated and a correlation between expression of Pgp and reduced intracellular accumulation of R123 has been shown. The measurement of R123 uptake or efflux allows the characterization of cells displaying a MDR phenotype with overexpression of Pgp, even with low levels of resistance. Other proteins have now been identified which play a role in resistance and in drug transport, including MRP. For this reason we need to determine if R123 is transported only by Pgp or if R123 is a substrate for transport by other drug resistance proteins as well. We also discuss the possibilities of using several techniques based on fluorescence with R123 in order to fully characterize cells by measuring both Pgp activity and its presence/localization.

Although the determinants of this transition are still unknown, it has been shown that the blast crisis is accompanied by genetic instability. Materials and methods: The expression and activity of the error-prone DNA polymerase beta (pol beta) were investigated in blood samples from CML patients, by Western blotting and by an in vitro replication assay, respectively. Results: Pol beta expression and activity were significantly higher in CML samples compared to those of healthy donors. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the excess of pol beta in CML could contribute to the genetic instability observed during the evolution of the disease from the chronic phase to blast crisis.

Here, we demonstrated that enhanced activity and expression of this enzyme occur in the human ovarian tumor 2008/C13*5.25 cells, which are resistant to the antitumor agent cisplatin and hypersensitive to 6-thioguanine. We found that translesion synthesis across platinated DNA crosslinks as well as increased incorporation into DNA of 6-thioguanine took place in the 2008/C13*5.25 cells compared to the parental 2008 cells. Such features being molecular signatures of DNA polymerase b, these ®ndings suggest that deregulation of its expression in cancer cells may contribute to the modulation of the response to antitumor treatments and therefore to tumor progression.

Elevated expression of DNA polymerase L L, an event found in many human tumors, has been shown to generate a mutator phenotype. Here, we demonstrated that overexpression of DNA polymerase L L strengthens the mutagenicity of oxidative damages, concomitantly with a higher cellular sensitivity and increased apoptosis. Deregulated expression of DNA polymerase L L could represent a predisposition factor for mutagenic effects of oxidative stress and thus have implication in the generation and/or evolution of cancer. ß 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. on behalf of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies.

The Tip60 histone acetyl transferase is physically recruited to DNA double strand breaks (DSB) where it mediates histone acetylation. Here, we show using a reporter system in mammalian cells that Tip60 expression is required for homology-driven repair, strongly suggesting that Tip60 participates in DNA DSB repair through Homologous Recombination. Moreover, Tip60 depletion inhibits the formation of Rad50 foci following ionizing radiations, indicating that Tip60 expression is necessary for the recruitment of the DNA damage sensor MRN (Mre11, Rad50, Nbs1) complex to DNA DSB. Moreover, we found that endogenous Tip60 physically interacts with endogenous MRN proteins in a complex which is distinct from the classical Tip60 complex. Taken together, our results describe a physical link between a DNA damage sensor and a histone modifying enzyme and provide important new insights into the role and mechanism of action of Tip60 in the process of DNA DSB repair.

By using a couple of recombinant CHO cells diering only from the exogenous expression of Pol b b, we showed here that cells overexpressing Pol b b are much more sensitive to IR treatments by increasing apoptosis. We also found that the surviving cells displayed an hypermutator phenotype which could be explained by dierent pathways involving Pol b b, such as (i) an increased capacity to incorporate into DNA the mutagenic dGTP analog, 8-oxo-dGTP, one of the most abundant purine-derived nucleotides exposed to g girradiation, (ii) the induction of IR-induced DNA breaks and (iii) accumulation of chromosome aberrations induced by radiation. Alteration of Pol b b expression in irradiated cells thus appears to strengthen both cell death and genetic changes associated with a malignant phenotype. These data provide new insights into the cellular response to radiations and the associated carcinogenic consequences.

In a normal situation, it is expressed at a constant low level and its role is believed to be restricted to repair synthesis in the base excision repair pathway participating to the genome stability. However, excess of Pol ␤, found in some human tumors, could confer an increase in spontaneous mutagenesis and result in a highly mutagenic tolerance phenotype toward bifunctional DNA crosslinking anticancer drugs. Here, we present a hypothesis on the mechanisms used by Pol ␤ to be a genetic instability enhancer through its overexpression. We hypothesize that an excess of Pol ␤ perturbs the well-defined specific functions of DNA polymerases developed by the cell and propose Pol ␤-mediated gap fillings during DNA transactions like repair, replication, or recombination pathways as key processes to introduce illegitimate deoxyribonucleotides or mutagenic base analogs like those produced by intracellular oxidative processes. These mechanisms may predominate during cellular nonproliferative phases in the absence of DNA replication.

Here, we investigated whether BCR/ABL expression could modulate nucleotide excision repair (NER). We found that ectopic expression of p210 BCR/ABL in murine lymphoid BaF3 cell line inhibited NER activity in vitro, promoting hypersensitivity of these cells to ultraviolet (UV) treatment and facilitating a mutator phenotype. However , expression of p210 BCR/ABL in human and murine myeloid cell lines and primary bone marrow cells resulted in the increased NER activity and resistance to UV irradiation. The ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 reversed these effects, showing that p210 BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase activity is responsible for deregulation of NER. Hypoactivity of NER in p210 BCR/ABL-positive lymphoid cells was accompanied by the decreased interaction between proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and xeroderma pigmentosum group B (XPB); conversely, this interaction was enhanced in p210 BCR/ABLpositive myeloid cells. p190 BCR/ABL did not affect NER in lymphoid and myeloid cells. In summary, our study suggests that p210 BCR/ABL reduced NER activity in lymphoid cells, leading to hypersensitivity to UV and mutagenesis. In contrast, p210 BCR/ABL expression in myeloid cells facilitated NER and induced resistance to UV.

P-glycoprolein was detected using FITC-conjugated MRK16 monoclonal antibody and intracellular daunorubicin (DNR) accumulation was simultaneously quantified. Membrane-altered cells were labeled by propidium iodide so that they could not be considered as MDR, drug-excluding cells. The three fluorescence intensities were simultaneously recorded using logarithmic signal amplifications and detection at 520 nm for FITC and above 600 nm for DNR and IP (1). The reversing activity of the 3 compounds was found sequencedependent, the best results being obtained when the reversing agent was administered before or simullaneously with DNR. Under these conditions, their activily was dose-dependent, the results obtained wilh 5 i~mol/I being 1.5 to 2 fold higher than those achieved with 2 IJmol/l. As compared with the control untreated resistant cells, the intracellular DNR accumulation was signilicantly enhanced by the 3 compounds, CSA and VPL giving comparable results (2 and 3 fold increases, respectively for 2 and 5 iJmol/I) while 9788alwaysexhibitedahigherreversingactivity(3and5foldincreases,respectivelyfor2and5lamol/I).Whentheseresultswerecomparedwithlhoseobtainedintheparentalsensitivecellline,acompletereversalotMDR,i.e.comparableintracellularDNR,wasonlyachievedusing5i.tmol/I9788 always exhibited a higher reversing activity (3 and 5 fold increases, respectively for 2 and 5 lamol/I). When these results were compared with lhose obtained in the parental sensitive cell line, a complete reversal ot MDR, i.e. comparable intracellular DNR, was only achieved using 5 i.tmol/I 9788alwaysexhibitedahigherreversingactivity(3and5foldincreases,respectivelyfor2and5lamol/I).Whentheseresultswerecomparedwithlhoseobtainedintheparentalsensitivecellline,acompletereversalotMDR,i.e.comparableintracellularDNR,wasonlyachievedusing5i.tmol/I9788 administered before or simultaneously with DNR. In all cases, the labelir'g of Pgp was not altered indicating that the reversing agents did not directly alter the protein but acted in a competitive manner with DNR on the fixation sites of the anthracyclin onto the protein.

NIG increased the accumulation of RI23 in half of the murine MDR RFLC3 population but not in the human MDR CEMNLB 100 cells. Co-treatment of RFLC3 with NIG plus verapamil showed additive effect on the accumulation of R 123. The increase in R 123 accumulation observed in RFLC3 was not the consequence of a direct effect of NIG on P-glycoprotein and was accompanied by a redistribution of the dye throughout the cell and a high cytotoxicity, which prevents the use of NIG as a resistance modulating agent.

The nucleotide excision repair pathway contributes to genetic stability by removing a wide range ... more The nucleotide excision repair pathway contributes to genetic stability by removing a wide range of DNA damage through an error-free reaction. When the lesion is located, the altered strand is incised on both sides of the lesion and a damaged oligonucleotide excised. A repair patch is then synthesized and the repaired strand is ligated. It is assumed that only DNA polymerases ␦ and/or participate to the repair DNA synthesis step. Using UV and cisplatin-modified DNA templates, we measured in vitro that extracts from cells overexpressing the error-prone DNA polymerase ␤ exhibited a fiveto sixfold increase of the ultimate DNA synthesis activity compared with control extracts and demonstrated the specific involvement of Pol ␤ in this step. By using a 28 nt gapped, double-stranded DNA substrate mimicking the product of the incision step, we showed that Pol ␤ is able to catalyze strand displacement downstream of the gap. We discuss these data within the scope of a hypothesis previously presented proposing that excess error-prone Pol ␤ in cancer cells could perturb the well-defined specific functions of DNA polymerases during errorfree DNA transactions.
