Objective: To investigate the effects of carnosic acid (CA) on reversal of the multidrug resistance (MDR) of human leukemia cell line K562/A02 and its mechanism.
Methods: MTT assay was used to determine the sensitivity of K562/A02 cells to adriamycin (ADM) pre-and post-treated with CA. Flow cytometry (FCM) and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) were used to measure intracellular fluorescence intensity and concentration of ADM respectively. The expression level of mdr1 was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression was detected by FCM and Western blot.
Results: CA decreased IC(50) of ADM in K562/A02 cells from 16.31 µg/mL to 1.35 µg/mL, being a 12.08-fold decrease. The intracellular ADM fluorescence intensity of K562/A02 was increased from 17.05 to 60.53 after treated with CA (P < 0.01). In living K562/A02 cells, after treated with CA, the diffuse distribution of intracellular ADM was recovered in both nuclear and cytoplasm, and the concentration of intracellular ADM increased from 4.93µg/mL to 15.43µg/mL. RT-PCR assay showed that CA inhibited the expressions of mdr1 mRNA in K562/A02 cells (P < 0.01). Mean fluorescence intensity of P-gp detected by FCM in CA-treated K562/A02 was decreased to 22.80 as compared with that in untreated K562/A02 cells (44.40, P < 0.05).
Conclusion: CA can reverse the MDR of K562/A02 cells in vitro. The mechanism may be associated with down-regulation of mdr1 and inhibition of P-gp function.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-caused multidrug resistance (MDR) is a crucial factor in the cancer chemotherapy failure. Herein, a total of twenty two azo-containing WK-X-34 (WK34, a third generation P-gp inhibitor) derivatives were synthesized as novel P-gp inhibitors. Biological evaluation revealed that compound 7i effectively reversed P-gp-mediated MDR in K562/A02 cells, with a higher reversal fold (RF) value than WK34 (142.

Compound 5p is a 4β-N-substituted podophyllotoxin derivative, which exhibited potent activity toward drug-resistant K562/A02 cells and decreased MDR-1 mRNA expression. Here, we further investigated its detail mechanism and tested its antitumor activity. 5p exerted catalytic inhibition of topoisomerase IIα, and didn't show the inhibitor of topoisomerase I.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) caused by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a main barrier to the success of cancer chemotherapies. In this study, fourteen novel dibenzoazepine-tetrahydroisoquinoline hybrids were prepared as potential P-gp inhibitors to surmount MDR caused by P-gp. Amongst them, 8a displayed the most potent inhibition effect on P-gp, thus effectively reversing P-gp-mediated drug resistance with a reversal fold (RF) value of 93.
