Overexpression of Myristoylated Alanine-Rich C Kinase Substrate (MARCKS) is implicated in drug resistance and progression of multiple myeloma (MM). The basis for MARCKS induction and impact on MM are not known. Here we show that microRNA-34a (miR-34a), regulates MARCKS translation and is under-expressed in drug-resistant MM cells, leading to increased MARCKS protein level. Over-expression of miR-34a reduces MARCKS expression and sensitizes resistant cells to anti-myeloma drugs. A MARCKS peptide inhibitor (MPS) exerts a dose dependent cytotoxic effect on drug-resistant MM cells with minimal cytotoxicity to normal hematopoietic cells. MPS synergizes with the proteasomal-inhibitor bortezomib to effectively kill drug-resistant MM cells both in vitro and in a xenograft model of MM. While MARCKS inhibition killed MM cells, it also enhanced a pro-survival autophagic pathway that sustained growth following MARCKS inhibition. In accordance, combined treatment with MARCKS antagonists, bortezomib and the autophagy inhibitor, chloroquine, significantly diminished tumor growth in drug-resistant MM cell lines as well as primary MM cells. This study uncovers a mechanism of drug resistance involving miR-34a-MARCKS autoregulatory loop and provides a framework for a potentially new therapeutic strategy to overcome drug resistance in multiple myeloma.
