Indanocine is a potent tubulin-binding drug that is cytotoxic to multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that indanocine specifically induces apoptosis in malignant B cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. To address the exact biochemical basis for indanocine toxicity, an indanocine-resistant clone was selected from mutagenized CEM human lymphoblastoid cells. The resistant cells displayed a stable indanocine-resistant phenotype for at least 9 months in drug-free culture. The cloned cells are cross-resistant to colchicine and vinblastine, but not to paclitaxel, and do not have increased expression of the multidrug-resistant p170 glycoprotein. In both parental cells and cell extracts, indanocine treatment caused tubulin depolymerization. In contrast, the tubulin in the resistant clone did not depolymerize under identical conditions. Both extract mixing and cell fusion experiments suggested that a stable structural change in microtubules, rather than a soluble factor, was responsible for indanocine resistance. Sequence analysis of parental and resistant cells revealed a single point mutation in the M40 isotype of beta-tubulin at nucleotide 1050 (G-->T, Lys(350)-->Asn) in the indanocine-resistant clone, in a region close to the putative colchicine binding site.
