RESUMO

A synthetic amphiphilic block copolymer, Pluronic, is a potent chemosensitizer of multidrug resistant (MDR) cancers that has shown promise in clinical trials. It has unique activities in MDR cells, which include a decrease in ATP pools and inhibition of P-glycoprotein (Pgp) resulting in increased drug accumulation in cells. This work demonstrates that Pluronic rapidly (15min) translocates into MDR cells and co-localizes with the mitochondria. It inhibits complex I and complex IV of the mitochondria respiratory chain, decreases oxygen consumption and causes ATP depletion in MDR cells. These effects are selective and pronounced for MDR cells compared to non-MDR counterparts and demonstrated for both drug-selected and Pgp-transfected cell models. Furthermore, inhibition of Pgp functional activity also abolishes the effects of Pluronic on intracellular ATP levels in MDR cells suggesting that Pgp contributes to increased responsiveness of molecular "targets" of Pluronic in the mitochondria of MDR cells. The Pluronic-caused impairment of respiration in mitochondria of MDR cells is accompanied with a decrease in mitochondria membrane potential, production of ROS, and release of cytochrome c. Altogether these effects eventually enhance drug-induced apoptosis and contribute to potent chemosensitization of MDR tumors by Pluronic.
