Abstract

Cell lines deficient in poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis due to enzyme deficiency (ADPRT54 and ADPRT351) or substrate deficiency (N2, N3, and N4) are resistant to topoisomerase II-directed agents, including etoposide (VP-16), N-[4-(9-acridinylamino)-3-methoxyphenyl]methanesulfonamide, and Adriamycin, relative to the effect of these agents on parental V79 Chinese hamster cells. Resistance is stable in the ADPRT54 and ADPRT351 cell lines, whereas resistance in the N2, N3, and N4 cell lines occurs when the cells are grown in nicotinamide-deficient medium to produce a state of NAD deficiency. However, sensitivity to VP-16 reverts to normal when cellular NAD levels return to control levels during growth in nicotinamide-containing complete medium. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-deficient cell lines show constitutively increased levels of a protein at M(r) 78,000 on Coomassie blue-stained, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels that was subsequently confirmed with monoclonal antibodies to be M(r) 78,000 glucose-regulated stress protein (GRP78). Similarly, N2, N3, and N4 cells show induction of GRP78 under nicotinamide-deficient conditions. Induction of GRP78 is associated with elevated levels of GRP78 mRNA and appears to be regulated at the transcriptional level. When N3 cells with deficiency of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis due to NAD deficiency are shifted to complete, nicotinamide-containing medium, they restore their NAD content, undergo a decrease in GRP78 levels, and regain sensitivity to VP-16. When V79 cells are shifted to nicotinamide-deficient medium they undergo a reduction in NAD content, followed by a progressive elevation in GRP78 levels, and they subsequently become increasingly resistant to VP-16. These studies demonstrate a clear association between deficiency of the NAD-poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis system, induction of GRP78 synthesis, and resistance to VP-16.
