The multidrug resistance protein MRP4, a member
of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily, confers resistance to
purine-based antiretroviral agents. However, the antiviral agent
ganciclovir (GCV) has not been shown to be a substrate of MRP4. GCV is
important not only in antiviral therapy, but also in the selective
killing of tumor cells modified to express herpes simplex virus
thymidine kinase (HSV-TK). We therefore tested the effect of MRP4 on
the cytotoxicity of GCV, on the ability of GCV to kill cells
genetically modified to express HSV-TK, and on the bystander effect in
which unmodified target cells are killed by GCV. Cells overexpressing MRP4 had markedly increased resistance to the cytotoxicity of GCV.
Although, expression of recombinant HSV-TK increased the intracellular
concentration of GCV nucleotide, cells were rescued by the
cytoprotective effect of MRP4. In cells that overexpressed MRP4,
intracellular accumulation of GCV metabolites was reduced, efflux of
these metabolites was increased, and resistance to bystander killing
was increased. Therefore, MRP4 can strongly reduce the susceptibility
of HSV-TK-expressing cells to GCV, and its overexpression in adjacent
cells protects them from bystander cell death. These findings indicate
that a nucleotide transporter, such as MRP4, modulates the cellular
response to GCV and thus may influence not only the efficacy of
antiviral therapy, but also prodrug-based gene therapy, which is
critically dependent upon bystander cell killing.
