Taxol is a first-line chemotherapeutic for numerous cancers, including the highly refractory triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, it is often associated with toxic side effects and chemoresistance in breast cancer patients, which greatly limits the clinical utility of the drug. Hence, compounds that act in concert with taxol to promote cytotoxicity may be useful to improve the efficacy of taxol-based chemotherapy. In this study, we demonstrated that mdivi-1, a putative inhibitor of mitochondrial fission protein Drp1, enhances the anticancer effects of taxol and overcomes taxol resistance in a TNBC cell line (MDA-MB-231). Not only did mdivi-1 induce mitotic spindle abnormalities and mitotic arrest when used alone, but it also enhanced taxol-induced antimitotic effects when applied in combination. In addition, mdivi-1 induced pronounced spindle abnormalities and cytotoxicity in a taxol-resistant cell line, indicating that it can overcome taxol resistance. Notably, the antimitotic effects of mdivi-1 were not accompanied by prominent morphological or functional alterations in mitochondria and were Drp1-independent. Instead, mdivi-1 exhibited affinity to tubulin at μM level, inhibited tubulin polymerization, and immediately disrupted spindle assembly when cells entered mitosis. Together, our results show that mdivi-1 associates with tubulin and impedes tubulin polymerization, actions which may underlie its antimitotic activity and its ability to enhance taxol cytotoxicity and overcome taxol resistance in MDA-MB-231 cells. Furthermore, our data imply a possibility that mdivi-1 could be useful to improve the therapeutic efficacy of taxol in breast cancer.
