ABSTRACT
Upregulation of the multidrug efflux pump ABCB1/MDR1 (P-gp) and the anti-apoptotic protein BIRC5/Survivin promotes multidrug resistance in various human cancers. GDC-0152 is a DIABLO/SMAC mimetic currently being tested in patients with solid tumors. However, it is still unclear whether GDC-0152 is therapeutically applicable for patients with ABCB1-overexpressing multidrug-resistant tumors, and the molecular mechanism of action of GDC-0152 in cancer cells is still incompletely understood. In this study, we found that the potency of GDC-0152 is unaffected by the expression of ABCB1 in cancer cells. Interestingly, through in silico and in vitro analysis, we discovered that GDC-0152 directly modulates the ABCB1-ATPase activity and inhibits ABCB1 multidrug efflux activity at sub-cytotoxic concentrations (i.e., 0.25×IC50 or less). Further investigation revealed that GDC-0152 also decreases BIRC5 expression, induces mitophagy, and lowers intracellular ATP levels in cancer cells at low cytotoxic concentrations (i.e., 0.5×IC50). Co-treatment with GDC-0152 restored the sensitivity to the known ABCB1 substrates, including paclitaxel, vincristine, and YM155 in ABCB1-expressing multidrug-resistant cancer cells, and it also restored the sensitivity to tamoxifen in BIRC5-overexpressing tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells in vitro. Moreover, co-treatment with GDC-0152 restored and potentiated the anticancer effects of paclitaxel in ABCB1 and BIRC5 co-expressing xenograft tumors in vivo. In conclusion, GDC-0152 has the potential for use in the management of cancer patients with ABCB1 and BIRC5-related drug resistance. The findings of our study provide essential information to physicians for designing a more patient-specific GDC-0152 clinical trial program in the future.
