Multidrug resistance in acute myeloid
leukemia is often conferred by overexpression of P-glycoprotein,
encoded by the MDR1 gene. We have characterized the key
regulatory steps in the development of multidrug resistance in K562
myelogenous leukemic cells. Unexpectedly, up-regulation of
MDR1 levels was not due to transcriptional activation but
was achieved at two distinct post-transcriptional steps, mRNA turnover and translational regulation. The short-lived (half-life 1 h) MDR1 mRNA of naïve cells (not exposed
to drugs) was stabilized (half-life greater than 10 h) following
short-term drug exposure. However, this stabilized mRNA was not
associated with translating polyribosomes and did not direct
P-glycoprotein synthesis. Selection for drug resistance, by long-term
exposure to drug, led to resistant lines in which the translational
block was overcome such that the stabilized mRNA was translated and
P-glycoprotein expressed. The absence of a correlation between
steady-state MDR1 mRNA and P-glycoprotein levels was
not restricted to K562 cells but was found in other lymphoid cell
lines. These findings have implications for the avoidance or reversal
of multidrug resistance in the clinic.
