Murine Transgenic Cells Lacking DNA Topoisomerase IIbeta Are Resistant to Acridines and Mitoxantrone: Analysis of Cytotoxicity and Cleavable Complex Formation

Murine transgenic cell lines lacking DNA topoisomerase II (topo II)beta have been used to assess the importance of topo IIbeta as a drug target. Western blot analysis confirmed that the topo IIbeta -/- cell lines did not contain topo IIbeta protein. In addition, both the topo IIbeta +/+ and topo IIbeta -/- cell lines contained similar levels of topo IIalpha protein. The trapped in agarose DNA immunostaining assay (TARDIS) was used to detect topo IIalpha and beta  cleavable complexes in topo IIbeta -/- and topo IIbeta +/+ cells. These results show that both topo IIalpha and beta  are in vivo targets for etoposide, mitoxantrone, and amsacrine (mAMSA) in topo IIbeta +/+ cells. As expected, only the alpha -isoform was targeted in topo IIbeta -/- cells. Clonogenic assays comparing the survival of topo IIbeta -/- and topo IIbeta +/+ cells were carried out to establish whether the absence of topo IIbeta caused drug resistance. Increased survival of topo IIbeta -/- cells compared with topo IIbeta +/+ cells was observed after treatment with amsacrine (mAMSA), methyl N-(4'-[9-acridinylamino]-2-methoxyphenyl) carbamate hydrochloride (AMCA), methyl N-(4'-[9-acridinylamino]-2-methoxyphenyl)carbamate hydrochloride (mAMCA), mitoxantrone, and etoposide. These studies showed that topo IIbeta -/- cells were significantly more resistant to mAMSA, AMCA, mAMCA, and mitoxantrone, than topo IIbeta +/+ cells, indicating that topo IIbeta is an important target for the cytotoxic effects of these compounds.
