Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major cause of failure of effective chemotherapeutic treatment of disseminated neoplasms. The classical'' MDR phenotype of human malignancies is mediated by drug extrusion by the adenosine triphosphate binding cassette (ABC)-transporter P-glycoprotein (MDR1/P-gp). For stable reversal of classical'' MDR by RNA interference (RNAi) technology, an H1-RNA gene promoter-driven expression vector encoding anti-MDR1/P-gp short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules was constructed. By introduction of anti-MDR1/P-gp shRNA expression vectors into the extremely high drug-resistant human gastric carcinoma cell line EPG85-257RDB, the MDR phenotype was completely reversed. The reversal of MDR was accompanied by a complete suppression of MDR1/P-gp expression on mRNA and protein level, and by a considerable increased intracellular anthracyline accumulation in the anti-MDR1/P-gp shRNA-treated cells. The data indicate that stable shRNA-mediated RNAi can be tremendously effective in reversing MDR1/P-gp-mediated MDR and is therefore a promising strategy for overcoming MDR by gene therapeutic applications.
