Multidrug resistance protein 7 (MRP7; ABCC10) is an ABC transporter that confers resistance to anticancer agents such as the taxanes. We previously reported that several inhibitors of P-gp and MRP1 were able to inhibit the in vitro transport of E(2)17betaG by MRP7 in membrane vesicles transport assays. However, compounds that are able to reverse MRP7-mediated cellular resistance have not been identified. In this study, we examined the effects of cepharanthine (6',12'-dimethoxy-2,2'-dimethyl-6,7-[methylenebis(oxy)]oxyacanthan), an herbal extract isolated from Stephania cepharantha Hayata, to reverse paclitaxel resistance in MRP7-transfected HEK293 cells. Cepharanthine, at 2microM, completely reversed paclitaxel resistance in MRP7-transfected cells. In contrast, the effect of cepharanthine on the parental transfected cells was significantly less than that on the MRP7-transfected cells. In addition, cepharanthine significantly increased the accumulation of paclitaxel in MRP7-transfected cells almost to the level of control cells in the absence of cepharanthine. The efflux of paclitaxel from MRP7-transfected cells was also significantly inhibited by cepharanthine. The ability of cepharanthine to inhibit MRP7 was analyzed in membrane vesicle assays using E(2)17betaG, an established substrate of MRP7, as a probe. E(2)17betaG transport was competitively inhibited by cepharanthine with a K(i) value of 4.86microM. These findings indicate that cepharanthine reverses MRP7-mediated resistance to paclitaxel in a competitive manner.
