GSK1904529A, a Potent IGF-IR Inhibitor, Reverses MRP1-Mediated Multidrug Resistance.

ABSTRACT: Overexpression of multidrug-resistant efflux transporters is one of the major causes of chemotherapy failure. MRP1, a 190 kDa efflux transporter, confers resistance to a wide of range of chemotherapeutic drugs. Here we study the cellular effects of GSK1904529A in reversing MRP1-mediated drug resistance. Cytotoxicity of GSK1904529A was determined by MTT assay. Reversal effects of GSK1904529A in combination with MRP1 substrates were determined. The intracellular accumulation and efflux of MRP1 substrate was measured by scintillation counter and protein expression was determined by Western blotting analysis. Cell cycle effects of GSK1904529A in combination with MRP1 substrates were determined by flow cytometric analysis. GSK1904529A, at non-toxic concentrations, enhanced the cytotoxicity of M
