Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are composed of an antibody linked to cytotoxic anticancer payloads. ADCs recognize tumor-specific cell surface antigens and are internalized into lysosomes where proteolytic enzymes release the cytotoxic payloads. Efflux transporters on plasma membrane that play a significant role on multi-drug resistance in chemotherapy can be internalized on lysosomal membrane and sequester the cytotoxic payloads. In the present study, ATP binding cassette (ABC) efflux transporters including breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), P-glycoprotein (P-gp-MDR1), multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 2, MRP3 and MRP4 in lysosomal, and plasma membrane of tumor cells were quantified by targeted quantitative proteomics. The cytotoxicity of brentuximab vedotin and its cytotoxic payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) to the tumor cell lines in the presence and absence of elacridar (P-gp-MDR1 inhibitor) or chloroquine (lysosomotropic agent) were evaluated. MMAE is a substrate for P-gp-MDR1, as the apparent efflux ratio in MDR1 transfected MDCK cell monolayers was 44.5, and elacridar abolished the MMAE efflux. Cell lines that highly express P-gp-MDR1 show higher EC50s toward the cell killing effects of MMAE. Co-incubation with chloroquine or elacridar resulted in left shift of MMAE EC50 by 2.9–16-fold and 4.2–22-fold, respectively. Similarly co-incubation with chloroquine or elacridar or in combination of chloroquine and elacridar increased cytotoxic effects of brentuximab vedotin by 2.8- to 21.4-fold on KM-H2 cells that express a specific tumor antigen CD30 and P-gp-MDR1. These findings demonstrate important roles of P-gp-MDR1 on cytotoxic effects of brentuximab vedotin and its payload MMAE. Collectively, ABC transporter-mediated drug extrusion and/or sequestration needs to be early assessed for selection of optimal payloads and linkers when developing ADCs.

<abstract><p>Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are composed of an antibody linked to cytotoxic anticancer payloads. ADCs recognize tumor-specific cell surface antigens and are internalized into lysosomes where proteolytic enzymes release the cytotoxic payloads. Efflux transporters on plasma membrane that play a significant role on multi-drug resistance in chemotherapy can be internalized on lysosomal membrane and sequester the cytotoxic payloads. In the present study, ATP binding cassette (ABC) efflux transporters including breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), P-glycoprotein (P-gp-MDR1), multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 2, MRP3 and MRP4 in lysosomal, and plasma membrane of tumor cells were quantified by targeted quantitative proteomics. The cytotoxicity of brentuximab vedotin and its cytotoxic payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) to the tumor cell lines in the presence and absence of elacridar (P-gp-MDR1 inhibitor) or chloroquine (lysosomotropic agent) were evaluated. MMAE is a substrate for P-gp-MDR1, as the apparent efflux ratio in MDR1 transfected MDCK cell monolayers was 44.5, and elacridar abolished the MMAE efflux. Cell lines that highly express P-gp-MDR1 show higher EC<sub>50</sub>
s toward the cell killing effects of MMAE. Co-incubation with chloroquine or elacridar resulted in left shift of MMAE EC<sub>50</sub>
by 2.9–16-fold and 4.2–22-fold, respectively. Similarly co-incubation with chloroquine or elacridar or in combination of chloroquine and elacridar increased cytotoxic effects of brentuximab vedotin by 2.8- to 21.4-fold on KM-H2 cells that express a specific tumor antigen CD30 and P-gp-MDR1. These findings demonstrate important roles of P-gp-MDR1 on cytotoxic effects of brentuximab vedotin and its payload MMAE. Collectively, ABC transporter-mediated drug extrusion and/or sequestration needs to be early assessed for selection of optimal payloads and linkers when developing ADCs.</p>

<p>Over the past few decades, many cytotoxic small-molecule drugs have been developed for cancer chemotherapy. Despite vast progress in the field, the cytotoxicity toward both normal and malignant cells has limited their clinical utility. In addition, malignant cells develop cross-resistance to other chemotherapy cytotoxic drugs after initial exposure to a cytotoxic drug. Multidrug resistance (MDR), a phenomenon manifested as a cross-resistance to a wide variety of structurally and pharmacologically diversified anticancer drugs, has become a major issue in cancer therapy. Several mechanisms can account for the acquired MDR. Of those, drug-induced expression of ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transporters has been proven to be the major mechanism of MDR (<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">Zhou et al., 2008</xref>
; <xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">Januchowski et al., 2014</xref>
). These efflux transporters can interact with many kinds of anticancer agents and extrude the cytotoxic drugs out of tumor cells to minimize the intracellular exposure (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">Conseil et al., 2005</xref>
).</p>
<p>To overcome the MDR of chemotherapy, recent advances in cancer research shift the focus from traditional chemotherapy to targeted cancer therapy (<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">Peters and Brown, 2015</xref>
). Due to genomic mutations in oncogenes and/or tumor suppressors, many tumor associated antigens are found to be overexpressed in tumor cells. These proteins provide ideal targets for developing monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapies. mAbs specifically bound to tumor associated antigens that are highly expressed in tumor cells, as opposed to normal cells, exert their therapeutic effects through either abrogating tumor cell signalling, resulting in apoptosis, or by modulating immune cell function (<xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">Green et al., 2000</xref>
). However, insufficient cytotoxic activities have been the key drawback of the mAb therapies (<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">Reichert, 2001</xref>
). As a result, further efforts in utilizing the targeting nature of mAbs to deliver a chemically or genetically conjugated toxic molecule to enhance the therapeutic efficacy have been explored (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">Cheong et al., 2011</xref>
; <xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">Gibiansky and Gibiansky, 2014</xref>
). The cytotoxic small molecules linked mAbs through chemical linkers give rise to an entirely new class of anti-cancer drugs known as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">Deckert et al., 2013</xref>
; <xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">Gibiansky and Gibiansky, 2014</xref>
). ADCs allow for the discrimination between normal and cancer cells through the selective bindings of mAbs. As a result, an ADC drug can be designed to specifically deliver a cytotoxic reagent (also known as the “payload”) to cancer cells through targeting surface tumor antigens. Once mAbs bind to surface antigens, ADCs are internalized into endosomes and lysosomes, where further processing releases of the toxic payloads. Unfortunately, regardless of initial encouraging clinical results, this class of drugs encounters a number of challenges including inherent and acquired drug resistance (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">Loganzo et al., 2015</xref>
). One of the hypotheses for drug resistances to ADCs is due to the efflux transporters localized on the lysosomal membranes that can transport their substrates from the cytoplasm back into the lysosomes to sequester the payloads, thereby preventing it from reaching the intended targets. Since ADC payloads are known to interact with ABC efflux transporters, these transporters expressed on the lysosomal membrane could be an additional mechanism for MDR of an ADC. The mechanism was one of the hypotheses for Mylotarg<sup>®</sup>
resistance in the clinic, which resulted in its withdrawal from the market due to the less optimal efficacy (<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">Przepiorka et al., 2013</xref>
). Overexpression of efflux transporter proteins in tumor cells was considered to attribute to the acquired drug resistance (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">Loganzo et al., 2015</xref>
). As almost all the next-generation cytotoxic compounds, including monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and maytansine, are substrates for efflux transporters such as P-glycoprotein (<xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">Kovtun et al., 2010</xref>
), it is now increasingly clear that resistance to an ADC likely follows the conventional path of small molecule anticancer agents (<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">Shefet-Carasso and Benhar, 2015</xref>
).</p>
<p>In the present investigation, expressions of efflux transporters in various tumor cells are determined and the cell-killing effects of brentuximab vedotin and MMAE are evaluated through modulating P-gp-MDR1 activities and lysosomal functions. The findings demonstrated that P-gp-MDR1 expressed on the plasma and/or lysosomal membrane plays a significant role in MDR of MMAE and its ADC drug, brentuximab vedotin.</p>

<sec id="s2_2"><title>P-gp-MDR1 Efflux Assay</title>
<p>MDCKII wild-type (MDCK-WT) and MDCKII cells overexpressing P-gp-MDR1 protein (MDCK-MDR1) (licensed from The Netherlands Cancer Institute, the Netherlands) were maintained at 37°C, 95% relative humidity, and 5% CO<sub>2</sub>
, and spitted once a week at 80% to 95% confluence. The cells were plated onto 24-well insert plates (HTS-Transwell<sup>®</sup>
inserts, surface area: 0.33 cm<sup>2</sup>
, Corning, Bedford, MA) at a density of approximately 500,000 cells/cm<sup>2</sup>
and grown for 4 days. At day 4, the cell inserts were rinsed twice and then incubated for 30–40 min with Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) buffer, pH 7.4. Trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) values were measured in wash buffer and the acceptable value of TEER is >325 (Ω*cm<sup>2</sup>
). Compounds were diluted to indicated concentrations in HBSS buffer and applied to the donor chamber for each direction of transport, either apical to basolateral (A→B) or basolateral to apical (B→A). Positive control substrate digoxin (P-gp-MDR1) was included in the studies to confirm P-gp-MDR1 activity. Transporter inhibitors, quinidine (10 µM), and ketoconazole (10 µM) were added to both apical and basolateral chambers. The cell monolayer integrity was tested by adding 200-µl buffer with Lucifer yellow (2 µM) to apical chamber after aspirating all remaining buffer. The acceptance criteria of Lucifer yellow transport was less than 2 × 10<sup>6</sup>
cm/s. The effect of chloroquine on digoxin efflux in Caco-2 monolayers was evaluated at concentrations of 12.5 and 25 µM (<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">Marino et al., 2005</xref>
). Briefly, Caco-2 cells were grown on 24-well filter insert membrane (Corning, Bedford, MA) at a density of ∼100,000 for approximately 21 days at 37°C, 95% relative humidity, and 5% CO<sub>2</sub>
. The culture medium was replaced every 2 days. Bidirectional transport studies were conducted in human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) monolayers with TEER values greater than 400 Ω cm<sup>2</sup>

<sec id="s2_3"><title>Tumor Cell Lines</title>
<p>HepG2 (human liver hepatocellular carcinoma), Hep3B2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), H226 (human lung squamous cell carcinoma), N87 (human gastric carcinoma), and OVCAR3 (human ovary adenocarcinoma) cells were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA). KM-H2 cells that overexpress human the CD30 antigen were obtained from Leibniz-Institute DSMZ-German collection of microorganisms and cell cultures (Braunschweig, Germany). Tumor cell lines were cultured in T175-culture flasks with RPMI-1640 medium containing 11% FBS, 1.1% HEPES, and 1.1% penicillin streptomycin.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s2_4"><title>Extraction of Membrane Protein and Crude Lysosomal Fraction</title>
<p>The tumor cells were detached from a flask using 0.25% trypsin EDTA, and washed with HBSS buffer prior to membrane protein extraction. The membrane protein fraction was extracted from fresh tumor cell pellets using the Native Membrane Protein Extraction Kit from Calbiochem (San Diego). Briefly, cell pellets were lysed in extraction buffer I containing a proper amount of protease inhibitor cocktail followed by incubation at 4°C for 30 min. The suspension was centrifuged at 16,000 × <italic>g</italic>
for 15 min at 4°C. The supernatant containing cytosolic protein was removed and the pellet was re-suspended in extraction buffer II containing the protease inhibitor cocktail mix. After incubating for 30 min at 4°C, the suspension was centrifuged at 16,000 × <italic>g</italic>
for 15 min at 4°C. The supernatant containing membrane protein was collected and the protein concentrations of the membrane fractions were determined by a BCA protein assay kit.</p>
<p>Crude lysosomal fraction from each tumor cell line was prepared from fresh cell pellets using the lysosome isolation kit from Sigma-Aldrich. Briefly, cells were washed with ice cold PBS buffer. After washing, the cell pellets were re-suspended in 2.7 volume of 1× extraction buffer from the lysosome isolation kit. The cells were vortexed to achieve an even suspension and homogenized in a 7-ml dounce homogenizer using pestle to achieve 80–85% of breakage. The homogenate was centrifuged at 1,000 × <italic>g</italic>
for 10 min. The supernatant was transferred to a new centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 20,000 × <italic>g</italic>
for 20 min in micro-centrifuge tubes. The supernatant was discarded and the crude lysosomal fraction pellet was re-suspended in 1× extraction buffer. The fraction obtained was further purified with the aid of calcium chloride, according to the instruction of the isolation kit. Acid phosphatase was tested for the enrichment of lysosomal fraction to ensure the isolation of lysosomal fractions with high yield (> 80%). It is worthwhile noting that the KM-H2 cell line is established from a patient with Hodgkin lymphoma and appears single, round, and mononucleated cells in suspension. The cells are markedly smaller than those of adherent cell lines such as HepG2. As a result, regardless of multiple attempts being made to obtain lysosomal membrane fraction for KM-H2 cells, the protein yield was too low (<1 µg) for the proteomics quantitation; therefore, the expressions of efflux transporters in lysosomal fraction of KM-H2 cells were undetectable in the current investigation.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s2_5"><title>Denaturation and Digestion</title>
<p>As described previously (<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">Qiu et al., 2013</xref>
), an aliquot protein extract containing 40 to 200 µg membrane or crude lysosomal protein (200 µl) was reduced and denatured in 3.6% deoxycholate in 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate buffer with 20 µl of 10 mM dithiothreitol in boiling water for 20 min. The protein was then alkylated with 15 mM iodoacetamide in the dark for 20 min. Trypsin was then added to each sample at a 1:40 of trypsin/protein ratio and the sample was digested at 37°C overnight (>16 h) in a shaking incubator. The digestion was stopped by the addition of an equal volume of water (with 0.2% FA). The reaction mix was centrifuged at 16,000 × <italic>g</italic>
and 4°C for 15 min. The supernatant was dried under N2 and reconstituted in 200 µl of 0.1% FA water for LC-MS/MS analysis.</p>
<p>For preparation of calibration curve samples, HSA (2 mg/ml, digested as described above) was used as blank matrix and was spiked with a fixed volume of internal standard mix and peptide standard mix to generate the following target concentrations of 0.16, 0.8, 4, 20, 50, and 100 nM for calibration values.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s2_6"><title>LC-MS/MS Analysis of Efflux Transporters BCRP, P-gp-MDR1, MRP2, MRP3, and MRP4</title>
<p>LC-MS/MS analyses were conducted on an API 6500 triple-quadruple mass spectrometer (AB Sciex, Ontario, Canada) coupled to a Shimadzu LC (Nexera) system (Shimadzu, Wood Dale, IL). Chromatography separation was performed on a peptide BEH C18 column (1.7 µ, 2.1 × 100 mm; Waters, Milford, MA) with a gradient elution. Mobile phase included 0.1% FA in water (solvent A) and 0.1% FA in acetonitrile (solvent B). At a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min, the gradient was as follows: 5%B for 1 min, followed by a linear increase to 37%B at 8 min, and reached 90%B at 8.2 min, held 1.8 min at 90%B, and went back to 5%B at 10.2 min. Injection volume for standards and samples was 20 µl. The mass spectrometer was equipped with the electrospray ionization (ESI), Turbolon interface, and operated in the positive mode to monitor the MRM transitions for all peptides and their internal standards (<xref rid="T1" ref-type="table"><bold>Table 1</bold>

<sec id="s3_1"><title>P-gp-MDR1 Mediated MMAE Efflux</title>
<p>Brentuximab vedotin is an ADC that consists of anti-CD30 chimeric antibody attached cytotoxic antimitotic agent MMAE through a cathepsin cleavable linker (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1"><bold>Figure 1</bold>
</xref>
). The antibody of brentuximab vedotin recognizes a specific tumor antigen CD30 and delivers the cytotoxic reagent MMAE to the targeted tumor cells. Once internalized into tumor cells, brentuximab vedotin is hydrolyzed in lysosomes and releases MMAE from lysosomes to inhibit cell division through blocking the polymerization of tubulin. To investigate if efflux transporters are involved in intracellular disposition of MMAE, P-gp-MDR1 mediated efflux of MMAE was firstly determined in MDCK-WT and MDCK-MDR1 cells. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2"><bold>Figure 2A</bold>
</xref>
, MMAE showed significantly polarized transport in both MDCK-WT and MDCK-MDR1 cells with ERs at 13.6 and 44.5, respectively, resulting ratio of ratios of 3.3. The P-gp-MDR1 mediated efflux was completely eliminated (efflux < 1.5) by known P-gp-MDR1 inhibitors quinidine or ketoconazole at 10 µM each, suggesting that MMAE is a P-gp-MDR1 substrate.</p>

<p>Chloroquine is a lysosomal lumen alkalizer and a lysosomal autophagy inhibitor that impairs lysosomal functions. To determine if chloroquine is a P-gp-MDR1 modulator, P-gp-MDR1-mediated digoxin efflux in Caco-2 cells was co-incubated with chloroquine at concentrations of 12.5 and 25 µM. As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2"><bold>Figure 2B</bold>

<sec sec-type="discussion" id="s4"><title>Discussion</title>
<p>It has been established that membrane transporters facilitate the transport of endogenous and exogenous molecules across cell membranes, and play important roles in the absorption, distribution, and excretion of many drugs. The MDR is a major limiting factor of chemotherapeutic drug treatment. The most characterized mechanism of MDRs is the up-regulation of ABC efflux transporters that actively transport chemotherapeutic drugs out of cells, resulting in cytoprotection. Remarkably, P-gp-MDR1 transports a wide range of chemotherapeutic drugs, and is the most studied ABC transporter protein involved in the MDR (<xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">Kartner and Ling, 1989</xref>
). During endocytosis, P-gp-MDR1 initially expressed at the plasma membrane is endocytosed into the lysosomes, resulting in localization on the lysosomal membrane facing inward into the lysosome compartment. Lysosomes are acidic intracellular organelles and contain an assortment of enzymes that have catalytic activities at acidic pH and are involved in the degradation and recycling of cellular proteins. Lysosomal membrane contains many membrane proteins that transport substances into and out of the lysosomal lumen, and maintain the lysosomal acidic environment. For example, the lysosomal amino acid transporter 1 is a lysosomal transporter involving the transport of lysine and arginine for cellular amino acid homeostasis (<xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">Liu et al., 2012</xref>
).</p>
<p>ADCs have become a promising class of drugs fighting cancers owing to their ability to specifically recognize tumor specific surface antigens and deliver potent cytotoxic agents to cancer cells. ADCs bound to the surface antigens are internalized following the processes of lysosomal formation where they are catalyzed to release toxic payloads. It is thought that the released cytotoxic payloads freely diffuse across lysosomal membrane to reach a sufficient concentration to kill cancer cells. For example, brentuximab vedotin, the first marketed ADC drug, incorporates a peptide cleavable linker conjugated to MMAE (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1"><bold>Figure 1</bold>
</xref>
), selectively binds to tumor cells expressing CD30 antigen for the treatment of relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma and systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma. In the lysosomes, the amide bond between the citrulline residue and the p-aminobenzyl carbamate portion of the linker is cleaved to release MMAE by lysosomal proteases. Recently <xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">Hamblett et al. (2015)</xref>
demonstrate that SLC46A3, a folate transporter, is required to transport the ADC payload maytansine from the lysosome to the cytoplasm. The impact of lysosomal proteins on MMAE transport across the lysosomal membrane has not been fully characterized. Specifically, the role of P-gp-MDR1 protein expressed on the lysosomal membrane on the acquired MDRs remains uninvestigated.</p>
<p>MMAE is a P-gp-MDR1 substrate. While it is well known that ABC transporters expressed on plasma membrane facilitate the efflux of many anticancer drugs from tumor cells, resulting in MDR, the inward facing lysosomal P-gp-MDR1 therefore can sequester its substrates in the lysosomes and prevent the cytotoxic payloads from reaching their intracellular targets such as nucleus and microtubules (<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">Yamagishi et al., 2013</xref>
). It is known that P-gp-MDR1 on the lysosomal membrane is able to transport cytotoxic agents such as doxorubicin into the organelle and results in MDRs (<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">Seebacher et al., 2016a</xref>
; <xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">Seebacher et al., 2016b</xref>
). However, the role of P-gp-MDR1 on the lysosomal membrane on ADC payload release from lysosomes to cytoplasm remains uninvestigated. To elucidate the impact of ABC transporters on the ADC payload transport across the lysosomal membrane, we firstly quantify the transporter expressions and investigate the cytotoxic effects of MMAE in various tumor cell lines. Overexpression of P-gp-MDR1 was determined in HepG2 and Hep3B2 cells, both in plasma membrane and lysosomal membrane fraction. Accordingly, the cells were less sensitive to the cytotoxic agent, MMAE (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3"><bold>Figure 3</bold>
</xref>
). The cytotoxic effect of MMAE was potentiated by the treatment of elacridar, a potent inhibitor of P-gp-MDR1. Since elacridar can inhibit P-gp-MDR1 expressed on both the lysosomal and plasma membrane, reduced P-gp-MDR1 activity on the lysosomal membrane could increase the MMAE transport across the lysosomal membrane to cytoplasm. On the other hand, inhibition of plasma P-gp-MDR1 activity could also reduce the extrusion of MMAE from the tumor cells, thereby increasing intracellular exposure leading to greater cytotoxic effects. As a result, P-gp-MDR1 inhibition in cell-based experiments would not be able to differentiate if the potentiated MMAE effects were attributed mainly by the increased MMAE release from the lysosomes due to the inhibition of lysosomal P-gp-MDR1, or blocking MMAE efflux from the cells, or both. Therefore, lysosomal modulators that can impact lysosomal activity, but not P-gp-MDR1 function, can delineate the role of efflux transporters on lysosomal membranes toward cytotoxic effect of payload like MMAE. Chloroquine is a lysosomotropic amine, and can partially reverse the drug resistance of KB carcinoma cells to many cytotoxic chemotherapeutic reagents such as adriamycin, daunomycin, and vincristine (<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">Shiraishi et al., 1986</xref>
). However, the exact reversal mechanism of cytotoxic effects of lysosomotropic reagent remains unknown. In the present investigation, we demonstrated that chloroquine is not an inhibitor for P-gp-MDR1 when tested at 25 µM (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2"><bold>Figure 2</bold>
</xref>
<bold>B</bold>
). Thus, the reversed cytotoxic effects of chloroquine are unlikely the results of inhibition of P-gp-MDR1 activity. It has been reported that chloroquine is protonated in lysosomes, resulting in increased lysosomal pH and inactivation of lysosomal enzymes (<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">Wang et al., 2015</xref>
). Since P-gp-MDR1 function is also pH-dependent (<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">Varma and Panchagnula, 2005</xref>
), and the increased lysosomal pH can reduce P-gp-MDR1 activity on lysosomal membrane, it leads to the increased cytotoxic effects of MMAE on the tumor cells that highly express P-gp-MDR1. It is worth noting that H226 cells overexpressed BCRP and MRP4, but not P-gp-MDR1. However, the cells also showed resistance to MMAE and, similar to HepG2 and Hep2B3 cells, the cytotoxic effects were reversed by elacridar and chloroquine. Since elacridar is also a potent inhibitor for BCRP, investigation of its role or other potential mechanisms on MMAE resistance are warranted.</p>
<p>To further elucidate the effects of lysosomal P-gp-MDR1 on MMAE sequestration directly released from an ADC drug, HepG2 and KM-H2 cells were treated with brentuximab vedotin. As expected, since HepG2 cells do not express the CD30 antigen, the treatment of brentuximab vedotin had no effects on HepG2 survival (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5"><bold>Figure 5</bold>
</xref>
). In contrast, concentration-dependent cell-killing effects of brentuximab vedotin were observed in KM-H2 cells. In addition, the cell-killing effects of the ADC were potentiated about 2.8-fold by 25 µM chloroquine in KM-H2 cells. Co-incubation with elacridar or the combination of elacridar and chloroquine could further increase susceptibility of KM-H2 cells to brentuximab vedotin (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5"><bold>Figure 5</bold>
</xref>
and <xref rid="T4" ref-type="table"><bold>Table 4</bold>
</xref>
). As shown in <xref rid="T2" ref-type="table"><bold>Table 2</bold>
</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3"><bold>Figure 3</bold>
</xref>
, P-gp-MDR1 but not BCRP expressions in lysosomal membrane from HepG2 and Hep3B2 cells were correlated with the expressions in plasma membrane preparations. Although P-gp-MDR1 expression in lysosomal membrane of KH2 cells was not able to obtain due to technique issues in sample preparations, the assumption on lysosomal P-gp-MDR1 expression in KH2 cells was valid based on the P-gp-MDR1 expression data detected in the plasma membrane fraction. These results suggest that the inhibition of P-gp-MDR1 activities at plasma membrane and/or lysosomal membrane can enhance the accessibility of the microtubule-binding agent to its target.</p>
<p>In conclusion, tumor cells that highly express P-gp-MDR1 on the plasma and/or lysosomal membranes show resistant to the cytotoxic ADC payload, MMAE. The flux mediated by P-gp-MDR1 on plasma and/or lysosomal membrane implicates the attenuated cancer-killing activities of MMAE and brentuximab vedotin. P-gp-MDR1 located on the lysosomal membrane is an in-ward facing transporter and can sequester MMAE that is released from the ADC brentuximab vedotin in the lysosomes, which prevents it from reaching to its cytosolic targets. The results revealed that, to avoid the efflux transporter mediated MDR, strategies to design ADC drugs for specifically delivering cytotoxic reagents to targeted cancer cells through the selective binding of mAbs may no longer be viable approaches. Understanding the subcellular expression of efflux transporters in the intended targeted cancers and assessing transporter substrate potential for ADC payloads become critical for driving the success of ADCs discovery and development.</p>
