Cells selected for resistance to doxorubicin (DOX) express the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype, and resistance has been suggested to be due primarily to enhanced cellular efflux of drug. A progressively DOX-resistant (10- and 40-fold) L1210 mouse leukemia model system, which does not exhibit enhanced DOX efflux as a primary mechanism of resistance, was found to display the MDR phenotype, based on overexpression of P-glycoprotein in western blots and cross-resistance to vinca alkaloids. Cross-resistance to another topoisomerase II inhibitor, etoposide (VP-16), was similar to that of DOX (10- and 40-fold), whereas resistance to N-[4-(9-acridinylamino)-3-methoxyphenyl]methanesulfonamide (m-AMSA) was 5-fold lower. In contrast, no cross-resistance to camptothecin, an inhibitor of topoisomerase I, was observed. Topoisomerase II decatenation activity in nuclear extracts from 10- and 40-fold DOX-resistant cells was 2- and 4-fold lower, respectively, when compared to sensitive cells. In these cells, however, marked reductions in m-AMSA- and VP-16-induced topoisomerase II mediated DNA cleavage were found to exceed decreases in the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Results from this study demonstrated that, in progressively DOX-resistant L1210 mouse leukemia cells with the MDR phenotype, a better relation existed between the degree of resistance and reduced VP-16- and m-AMSA-induced topoisomerase II mediated DNA cleavage, than between increases in P-glycoprotein and concomitant reduction in DOX accumulation.
