<p>Knowledge on the biosynthetic pathways of the monoterpene alkaloids is enormous, but little is known about their mechanism of transporting system from the plant cell. There is not concrete evidence confirming the role of ABC transporters in the secretion of monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) in <em>Catharanthus roseus</em>. Therefore, in order to determine the role of different transporting systems involved in the MIAs translocation, we employed a pharmacological approach by using transport inhibitors such as, KCN, Na3VO4, quinidine and glibenclamide in hairy root cultures of <em>C. roseus</em>. It was found that the accumulation of ATP drastically decreased in the presence of KCN or 100 μM acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)/100 μM KCN. The treatment with the inhibitors KCN and glibenclamide in the presence of ASA significantly increased the ajmalicine secretion compared to the control. The secretion of serpentine was undetected during the first 24 h in all the samples. Treatment with the inhibitors quinidine and glibenclamide provoked a significant reduction of serpentine secretion in the hairy roots compared to the control. Based on our results, we found evidence that ABC transporters might participate in the secretion of MIAs by <em>C. roseus </em>hairy roots.</p>

Catharanthus roseus L. is a medicinal plant that produces numerous indole terpenoid alkaloids, including vincristine and vinblastine, which are used for cancer treatment. The effect of specified precursors (L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine) and elicitors (chitosan, methyl jasmonate) on C. roseus hairy roots (CHR) growth has been examined in order to increase the content of vincristine and vinblastine. Our results showed that CHR generated by an Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain isolated in Vietnam was capable of producing both vincristine and vinblastine when subjected to precursors, but only vinblastine when exposed to elicitors. However, both precursors and elicitors were evaluated to have an effect on increasing the accumulation of TIAs in CHR. In particular, the use of elicitors required more time to find the appropriate induction conditions, while the use of precursors gave outstanding efficiency in the treatment with 1 µM phenylalanine. The greatest yields of vincristine (51.99 µg g-1 DW) and vinblastine (699.92 µg g-1 DW) were obtained in the 7th week (with 0.306 g DW biomass). This result is the first time we might boost the levels of vincristine and vinblastine in our CHR clone generated by the Vietnam strain of A. rhizogenes.

Six groups of untransformed and hairy root cultures of <em>Catharunthus roseus</em> (L.) G. Don were established. <em>Agrobacterium rhizogenes</em> strains: ATCC 15834, LBA 9403, and TR 105 were used for infection of the 3-week old rooted plantlets of <em>C. roseus</em>. The highest contents of examined indole alkaloids were found in: roots of intact plants - yohimbine and serpentine; in hairy roots - catharanthine. Vinblastine and ajmalicine were detected in untransformed roots of plants regenerated in vitro, and transferred to the soil for 5 months.
