초록

Physiological cell conditions such as glucose deprivation and hypoxia play roles in the development of drug resistance in solid tumors. These tumor-specific conditions cause decreased expression of DNA topoisomerase $II{\alpha}$, rendering cells resistant to topo II target drugs such as etoposide. Thus, targeting tumor-specific conditions such as a low glucose environment may be a novel strategy in the development of anticancer drugs. On this basis, we established a novel screening program for anticancer agents with preferential cytotoxic activity in cancer cells under glucose-deprived conditions. We recently isolated an active compound, AA-98, from Streptomyces sp. AA030098 that can prevent stress-induced etoposide resistance in vitro. Furthermore, LC-MS and various NMR spectroscopic methods identified AA-98 as mithramycin, which belongs to the aureolic acid group of antitumor compounds. We found that mithramycin prevents the etoposide resistance that is induced by glucose deprivation. The etoposide-chemosensitive action of mithramycin was just dependent on strict low glucose conditions, and resulted in the selective cell death of etoposide-resistant HT-29 human colon cancer cells.
