The expression of multidrug-resistance (MDR) in breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7/ADR50 is primarily dependent on the transcriptional activation of the MDR1 gene. We now report that MDR in this cell line is partially reversed by the type I cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor, 8-Cl-cAMP. MDR1 promoter activity was also regulated through a PKA-dependent pathway and was inhibited by 8-Cl-cAMP, and stimulated by the enantiomeric agonist, SpcAMP[S]. MDR1 promoter activity through an Sp1 response element was stimulated by exogenous Sp1, a factor that we have shown to be activated by PKA. These results indicate that MDR1 promoter activity is linked to the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, and that PKA antagonists may be useful for reversing the multidrug-resistant phenotype.
