| Abstract | Thiocoraline, a depsipeptide bisintercalator with potent antitumor activity, was first isolated from marine actinomycete Micromonospora marina. It possesses an intense toxicity to MCF-7 cells at nanomolar concentrations in a dose-dependent manner evaluated by MTT assay and crystal violet staining. We established a human breast thiocoraline-resistant cancer subline of MCF-7/thiocoraline (MCF-7/T) to investigate the expression variation of breast cancer resistance proteins (BCRP) and its subsequent influence on drug resistance. Colony-forming assay showed that the MCF-7 cells proliferated faster than the MCF-7/T cells in vitro. Western blot analysis demonstrated that thiocoraline increased the phosphorylation of Akt. Additionally, the sensitivity of tumor cells to thiocoraline was reduced with a concurrent rise in phosphorylation level of Akt and of BCRP expression.These studies indicated that thiocoraline probably mediated the drug resistance via PI3K/Akt/BCRP signaling pathway. MK-2206 dihydrochloride, a selective phosphorylation inhibitor of Akt, significantly decreased MCF-7 cell viability under exposure to thiocoraline compared to the control. However, it was not obviously able to decrease MCF-7/T cell viability when cells were exposed to thiocoraline.
