ABCB1 limits the cytotoxic activity of TAK-243, an inhibitor of the ubiquitin-activating enzyme UBA1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One of the major concerns of cancer therapy is the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR). The MDR-associated ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB1) transporter is established to mediate resistance against numerous anticancer drugs. In this study, we demonstrated that the Ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 1 (UBA1) inhibitor TAK-243 is transported by the ABCB1.

Methods

MTT assay was performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of TAK-243. Western blot was carried out to investigate if TAK-243 affect to ABCB1 protein expression in cancer cells. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and ATPase assay were carried out to confirm TAK-243 as an ABCB1 substrate. [3H]-paclitaxel accumulation assay was used to determine the MDR reversal effect of TAK-
