| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the mechanism of resistance using the human acute leukemia cell line MOLT3 and its idarubicin-resistant MOLT3/IDR by mtDNA and nuclear DNA analyses. We found altered candidate regions among the two cell lines. The ND3 mutation site (p.Thr61Ile) of mtDNA sequence was a unique mutation in the MOLT3/IDR. Moreover, we found five candidate genes by using array CGH analysis. Then, we focused on the GALNT2 gene among the five candidate genes. We sequenced the exon of GALNT2 gene and found a G1788K mutation of the stop codon position in MOLT3/IDR not in MOLT3. Because of this, the mutation led to 18 amino acids being added to the sequence in the GALNT2 gene. In addition, we confirmed the gene expression of this mutation region by RT-PCR. Furthermore, we predicted the protein structure of the mutated GALANT2 gene, and confirmed the conformational change of the ligand pocket. From our results, we speculated that these mutation genes might be related to idarubicin resistance.
