Conventional chemotherapy is commonly used for advanced stages of bladder cancer with modest success and high morbidity. Identifying markers of resistance will allow clinicians to tailor treatment to a specific patient population. T24-tumorigenic cell line was grown orthotopically in nude mice and monitored using bioluminescence imaging and microcomputed tomography until they developed metastases. Stable sublines were then developed from primary bladder (T24-P), lung (T24-L) and bone (T24-B) tissues. Chromosomal analysis and DNA microarray were used to characterize these sublines. qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used for validation. Epigenetic modifiers were used to study gene regulation. The cell viability was quantified with MTT assay. Chromosomal analysis revealed multiple alterations in metastatic cell lines compared to T24-P. DNA microarray analysis showed that Taxol-Resistance-Associated-Gene-3 (TRAG3) gene was the most upregulated gene. From qRT-PCR and IHC, TRAG3 was significantly higher in T24-L and T24-B than T24-P. TRAG3 gene expression is likely controlled by DNA methylation, but not histone acetylation. Interestingly, T24-B and T24-L cells were more resistant than T24-P to treatment with anti-microtubule agents such as docetaxel, paclitaxel and vinblastine. TRAG3 mRNA expression was higher in 20% of patients with ≤pT2 (n=10) and 60% of patients with ≥pT3 (n=20) compared to normal adjacent tissue (p=0.05). In addition, the median TRAG3 expression was 6.7-fold higher in ≥pT3 tumors compared to ≤pT2 tumors. Knowing the status of TRAG3 expression could help clinicians tailor treatment to a particular patient population that could benefit from treatment, while allocating patients with resistant tumors to new experimental therapies.
