Unlike its cytotoxicity inp53-functional cell lines, Nutlin-1, the small-molecule inhibitor of murine double minute (MDM2), significantly enhanced the differentiation-inducing activity of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in HL60 and NB4 cells (p53-nonfunctional) but not in U937 cells (p53wild-type). Moreover, we demonstrated that the synergistic differentiation-inducing activity of Nutlin-1 combined with ATRA appeared in ap53-independent manner. In the present study, we found that ATRA could selectively induce expression of p-glycoprotein (p-gp) in HL60 and NB4 cells but not in U937 cells. Investigation of p-gp-ATPase activity showed that Nutlin-1 and ATRA were likely to act as p-gp transport substrates. Furthermore, Nutlin-1 enhanced the ability of ATRA to induce expression of the myeloid differentiation-related transcription factor C/EBPβ and to reduce expression of c-myc. Additionally, the expression of retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) was further reduced in cells treated with ATRA in combination with Nutlin-1. Taken together, the mechanisms of synergistic differentiation-inducing activity of Nutlin-1 combined with ATRA could be attributed to Nutlin-1 competitive binding to p-gp, leading to ATRA efflux inhibition, and then the differentiation pathways involved were therefore further activated. Nutlin-1 might be a useful adjuvant with ATRA for patients with retinoid-resistant leukemia induced by overexpression of p-gp.
