To overcome the problem of multidrug resistance, we investigated the effectiveness of phosphrothioate antisense oligonucleotides (MDR1-AS) in suppressing multidrug resistance gene (mdr1) expression in drug-resistant acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) blast cells and the K562 adriamycin-resistant cell line K562/ADM. The percentage of cells with the mdr1 gene product P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was decreased from 100% to 26% by 20 μmol/L MDR1-AS in the K562/ADM cells, and from 48.1% to 10.2% by 2.5 μmol/L MDR1-AS in the AML blast cells. Western blot analysis also showed a decrease in the amount of P-gp in the MDR1-AS–treated K562/ADM cells. This effect was specific to MDR1-AS, and not observed with sense or random control oligonucleotides. The expression of mdr1 mRNA in K562/ADM and AML blast cells treated with MDR1-AS was decreased compared with the random control. Intracellular rhodamine retention and [3H]daunorubicin also increased after antisense treatment. Chemosensitivity to daunorubicin increased in MDR1-AS–treated blast cells up to 5.9-fold in the K562/ADM cells and 3.0- to 6.4-fold in the AML blast cells. The expression of mdr1mRNA derived from colony cells decreased in the MDR1-AS–treated groups. No inhibitory effect of the oligonucleotides on normal bone marrow progenitors was observed. These findings suggest that MDR1-AS is useful to overcome multidrug resistance in the treatment of leukemia.

The case of a patient with ecchymosis, hepatomegaly, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and anemia at birth is presented. Throughout his course, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and leukocytosis without a marked increase in the number of blast forms in either peripheral blood or bone marrow persisted until the patient developed a blast crisis shortly before his death at age 4 months. This patient is the youngest reported to have the juvenile form of chronic myelogenous leukemia and the first that in the present era can be considered congenital in origin.
