A protein kinase Cbeta inhibitor attenuates multidrug resistance of neuroblastoma cells.

Svensson, Karin and Larsson, Christer LU (2003) In BMC Cancer 3(1). p.10-10
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The acquisition of drug resistance is a major reason for poor outcome of neuroblastoma. Protein kinase C (PKC) has been suggested to influence drug resistance in cancer cells. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether inhibition of PKCbeta isoforms influences drug-resistance of neuroblastoma cells. METHODS: The effect of the PKCbeta inhibitor LY379196 on the growth-suppressing effects of different chemotherapeutics on neuroblastoma cells was analyzed with MTT assays. The effect of LY379196 on the accumulation of [3H]vincristine was also investigated RESULTS: The PKCbeta inhibitor LY379196 suppressed the growth of three neuroblastoma cell lines. LY379196 also augmented the growth-suppressive effect of doxorubicin,... (More)

The effect of LY379196 on the accumulation of [3H]vincristine was also investigated RESULTS: The PKCbeta inhibitor LY379196 suppressed the growth of three neuroblastoma cell lines. LY379196 also augmented the growth-suppressive effect of doxorubicin, etoposide, paclitaxel, and vincristine, but not of carboplatin. The effect was most marked for vincristine and for the cell-line (SK-N-BE(2)) that was least sensitive to vincristine. No effect was observed on the non-resistant IMR-32 cells. Two other PKC inhibitors, Go6976 and GF109203X, also enhanced the vincristine effect. The PKC inhibitors caused an increased accumulation of [3H]vincristine in SK-N-BE(2) cells. CONCLUSIONS: This indicates that inhibition of PKCbeta could attenuate multidrug resistance in neuroblastoma cells by augmenting the levels of natural product anticancer drugs in resistant cells.
