Recent work shows that long-term exposure to low levels of arsenite
induces malignant transformation in a rat liver epithelial cell line.
Importantly, these chronic arsenic-exposed (CAsE) cells also develop
self-tolerance to acute arsenic exposure. Tolerance is accompanied by
reduced cellular arsenic accumulation, suggesting a mechanistic basis
for reduced arsenic sensitivity. The present study examined the role of
xenobiotic export pumps in acquired arsenic tolerance. Microarray
analysis of CAsE cells showed increased expression of the genes
encoding for glutathione S-transferase
(GST-
),
multidrug resistance-associated protein genes
(MRP1/MRP2, which encode for the efflux
transporter Mrp1/Mrp2) and the multidrug resistance gene
(MDR1, which encodes for the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein). These findings were confirmed at the transcription level by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and at the
translation level by Western-blot analysis. Acquired arsenic tolerance
was abolished when cells were exposed to ethacrynic acid (an inhibitor
of GST-
), buthionine sulfoximine (a glutathione synthesis
inhibitor), MK571 (a specific inhibitor for Mrps), and PSC833 (a
specific inhibitor for P-glycoprotein) in dose-dependent fashions.
MK571, PSC833, and buthionine sulfoximine markedly increased cellular
arsenic accumulation. Consistent with a role for multidrug resistance
efflux pumps in arsenic resistance, CAsE cells were found to be
cross-resistant to cytotoxicity of several anticancer drugs, such as
vinblastine, doxorubicin, actinomycin-D, and cisplatin, that are also
substrates for Mrps and P-glycoprotein. Thus, acquired tolerance to
arsenic is associated with increased expression GST-
, Mrp1/Mrp2 and
P-glycoprotein, which function together to reduce cellular arsenic accumulation.
