LID - 10.3390/cells8050500 [doi] LID - 500 AB - P-glycoprotein (Pgp/ABCB1) overexpression is associated with multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype and, consequently, failure in cancer chemotherapy. However, molecules involved in cell death deregulation may also support MDR. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is an important cytokine that may trigger either death or tumor growth. Here, we examined the role of cancer cells in self-maintenance and promotion of cellular malignancy through the transport of Pgp and TNF-alpha molecules by extracellular vesicles (membrane microparticles (MP)). By using a classical MDR model in vitro, we identified a positive correlation between endogenous TNF-alpha and Pgp, which possibly favored a non-cytotoxic effect of recombinant TNF-alpha (rTNF-alpha). We also found a positive feedback involving rTNF-alpha incubation and TNF-alpha regulation. On the other hand, rTNF-alpha induced a reduction in Pgp expression levels and contributed to a reduced Pgp efflux function. Our results also showed that parental and MDR cells spontaneously released MP containing endogenous TNF-alpha and Pgp. However, these MP were unable to transfer their content to non-cancer recipient cells. Nevertheless, MP released from parental and MDR cells elevated the proliferation index of non-tumor cells. Collectively, our results suggest that Pgp and endogenous TNF-alpha positively regulate cancer cell malignancy and contribute to changes in normal cell behavior through MP.
