Doxorubicin-Induced Alterations of c-myc and c-jun Gene Expression in Rat Glioblastoma Cells: Role of c-jun in Drug Resistance and Cell Death

Résumé

We studied the effect of doxorubicin on the expression of c-myc and c-jun in the rat glioblastoma cell line C6 and its doxorubicin-resistant variant C6 0.5, at equitoxic exposures. For quantitation, the mRNA levels of these oncogenes were related to those of two domestic genes, beta-actin and glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase. After a transient overexpression of the genes during the first hour of incubation, there was a selective, dose-dependent down-regulation of both genes by doxorubicin in the sensitive cells. In the resistant cell line, c-myc expression was also decreased in response to doxorubicin incubation, but the expression of c-jun remained unchanged over the whole range of concentrations. In contrast, vincristine had no effect on the amounts of c-myc and c-jun mRNAs in either line. The effect of doxorubicin on the mRNA levels of c-jun was also observed on the JUN proteins by immunoblotting, but the MYC protein levels remained unchanged upon doxorubicin treatment. There was a significant correlation between the levels of c-myc and c-jun gene expression and the degree of growth inhibition induced by doxorubicin. In addition, doxorubicin induced a fragmentation of DNA in sensitive cells, but not in resistant cells, thus revealing a resistance to apoptosis in this line. Doxorubicin-induced cell death did not appear to be mediated by p53 in either cell line.
