Longitudinal effects of thymidine analogues on mtDNA, mtRNA and multidrug resistance (MDR-1) induction in cultured cells

Abstract: Cellular response to thymidine analogue NRTI exposure showed a complex, time- and dose-dependent pattern over time. We report for the first time that NRTIs can induce MDR-1 expression; however, this effect is delayed, possibly in response to oxidative damage or mitochondrial dysfunction. Our results indicate that longitudinal experiments may refine our knowledge about NRTI toxicity.

“…However, in this study, ABC did not affect mtDNA consistently or in a manner that correlated with the cytotoxicity observed. Increases in mtDNA following exposure to NRTIs have been noted both in vitro and in vivo and may be an initial response to cytotoxic stress (31,32). ABC is a guanosine analog and has not been shown to inhibit mtDNA polymerase ␥ in vitro (33,34), indicating that the cytotoxicity observed was most likely related to some other mechanism than impairment of mtDNA replication by ABC.…”

“…It is an analogue of thymidine that has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and haematological toxicity, including neutropenia and severe anaemia, and so may not be suitable for treatment of MMA patients. Zidovudine has been previously found to cause a transient increase in mitochondrial DNA in cultured cells, with a subsequent increase in mRNA levels [21,22]. We have shown that gene expression from genomic DNA can also be increased transiently by zidovudine, with protein levels peaking 3 days after induction.…”

“…[5,6,16] Previous studies have mentioned that MDR-1 protein plays a role in defense mechanisms versus toxic effects of smoking and may be effective in removal of stress metabolites. [17,18] Furthermore, there are studies mentioning its role in cellular regeneration. [19] Shteinberg et al [20] shown that inflammatory response is an important risk factor in AAA, together with genetic predisposition.…”
