Doxorubicin is a frequently used anticancer drug, but its use is restricted due to the occurrence of severe side effects, namely strong cardiotoxicity. It is known from cancer cells that doxorubicin enhanced the expression of its efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which may modulate local drug concentrations. We therefore studied the cardiac expression of P-gp in doxorubicin-treated mice. Mice were treated with doxorubicin, and P-gp expression was studied after 1, 3, and 5 days. Thereby, we could show a significant upregulation of abcb1a (162 ± 15% of control) and abcb1b (418 ± 110% of control) mRNA transcripts after 3 days. On protein level, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining revealed a similar finding 5 days after doxorubicin administration. In addition, these results could be confirmed by in vitro models using primary rat cardiomyocytes and the murine cardiomyocyte-like HL-1 cells. Besides an enhanced mRNA and protein expression, doxorubicin-treated HL-1 cells also demonstrated an enhanced P-gp function as assessed by a daunorubicin accumulation assay. Our in vivo and in vitro results demonstrate a cardiac upregulation of P-gp in doxorubicin-treated mice on expression and functional level. This finding may be relevant for cardiac tissue concentrations of P-gp substrates and may represent a mechanism in cardiac self-protection against xenobiotics.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
