We determined the role of the multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene product, P-glycoprotein (PGP), in the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal cell line NCI-H295. Aldosterone secretion is significantly decreased by the PGP inhibitors verapamil, cyclosporin A (CSA), PSC-833, and vinblastine. Aldosterone inhibits the efflux of the PGP substrate rhodamine 123 from NCI-H295 cells and from human mesangial cells (expressing PGP). CSA, verapamil, and the monoclonal antibody UIC2 significantly decreased the efflux of fluorescein-labeled (FL)-aldosterone microinjected into NCI-H295 cells. In MCF-7/VP cells, expressing multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) but not PGP, and in the parental cell line MCF7 (expressing no MRP and no PGP), the efflux of microinjected FL-aldosterone was slow. In BC19/3 cells (MCF7 cells transfected with MDR1), the efflux of FL-aldosterone was rapid and it was inhibited by verapamil, indicating that transfection with MDR1 cDNA confers the ability to transport FL-aldosterone. These results strongly indicate that PGP plays a role in the secretion of aldosterone by NCI-H295 cells and in other cells expressing MDR1, including normal adrenal cells.
