| Research Abstract |
The MDR1 gene product P-glycoprotein plays a key role in multidrug resistance of cancer cells. P-glycoprotein is the energy-dependent pump that extrudes a variety of chemotherapeutic drugs. Overexpression of P-glycoprotein results in multidrug resistance of tumor cell lines in vitro as well as in cancer patients. Therefore, much attention has been paid to P-glycoprotein as a molecular target for cancer treatment. MRK16 is the monoclonal antibody against P-glycoprotein and binds to an external domain of P-glycoprotein. It partially inhibits the efflux of certain chemotherapeutic drugs in multidrug-resistant cells, and leads the tumor regression in vivo. Due to the limitations of using intact murine antibodies in human clinical settings, we engineered a single-chain antibody fragment of MRK16 (scFvMRK16). After cloning the variable region of MRK16, both heavy and light chain fragments were fused with linker, and recombinant protein were produced from Escherichia coli. Although the binding activity of scFvMRK16 to P-glycoprotein was 200-300 fold less compared to MRK16, we confirmed by flow cytometric analysis that it does recognize the P-glycoprotein. Furthermore, scFvMRK16 could inhibit the activity of MRK16 to bind P-glycoprotein. These results indicated the therapeutic potential of scFvMRK16.
