Despite studies that demonstrate the antitumor activity of Hsp90 inhibitors such as geldanamycin (GA) and its derivative 17-allylamino-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), recent reports indicate that these inhibitors lack significant single-agent clinical activity. Resistance to Hsp90 inhibitors has been previously linked to expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and the multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype. However, the stress response induced by GA treatment can also cause resistance to Hsp90-targeted therapy. Therefore we chose to further investigate the relative importance of P-gp and the stress response in 17-AAG resistance. Colony forming assays revealed that high expression of P-gp could increase the 17-AAG IC50 6-fold in cells transfected with P-gp as compared with parent cells. A549 cells selected for resistance to GA overexpressed P-gp, but verapamil (VP) did not reverse the resistance. These cells also overexpressed Hsp27, and Hsp70 was induced with 17-AAG treatment. When the GA and 17-AAG resistant cells were transfected with Hsp27 and/or Hsp70 siRNA, the 17-AAG IC50 decreased 10-fold compared to control transfected cells. Transfection with siRNA directed against Hsp27, Hsp70, or Hsp27 and Hsp70 also increased sensitivity to EC78, a purine scaffold-based Hsp90 inhibitor that is not a P-gp substrate. We conclude that P-gp may contribute, in part, to resistance to 17-AAG, but induction of stress response proteins such as Hsp27 and Hsp70 by Hsp90-targeted therapy plays a larger role. Taken together, our results indicate that targeting of Hsp27 and Hsp70 should be exploited to increase the clinical efficacy of Hsp90-directed therapy.
