International audience; Considerable interest exists about the localization of P-gp (P-glycoprotein) in DRMs (detergent-resistant membranes) of multidrug resistant cancer cells, in particular concerning the potential modulating role of the closely related lipids and proteins on P-gp activity. Our observation of the opposite effect of verapamil on P-gp ATPase activity from DRM and solubilized-membrane fractions of CEM-resistant leukaemia cells, and results from Langmuir experiments on membrane monolayers from resistant CEM cells, strongly suggest that two functional populations of P-gp exist. The first is located in DRM regions: it displays its optimal P-gp ATPase activity, which is almost completely inhibited by orthovanadate and activated by verapamil. The second is located elsewhere in the membrane; it displays a lower P-gp ATPase activity that is less sensitive to orthovanadate and is inhibited by verapamil. A 40% cholesterol depletion of DRM caused the loss of 52% of the P-gp ATPase activity. Cholesterol repletion allowed recovery of the initial P-gp ATPase activity. In contrast, in the solubilized-membrane-containing fractions, cholesterol depletion and repletion had no effect on the P-gp ATPase activity whereas up to 100% saturation with cholesterol induced a 58% increased P-gp ATPase activity, while no significant modification was observed for the DRM-enriched fraction. DRMs were analysed by atomic force microscopy: 40-60% cholesterol depletion was necessary to remove P-gp from DRMs. In conclusion, P-gp in DRMs appears to contain closely surrounding cholesterol that can stimulate P-gp ATPase activity to its optimal value, whereas cholesterol in the second population seems deprived of this function.Considerable interest exists about the localization of P-gp (P-glycoprotein) in DRMs (detergent-resistant membranes) of multidrug resistant cancer cells, in particular concerning the potential modulating role of the closely related lipids and proteins on P-gp activity.
