Fig. 3. Expression of LRP protein in isolated nuclei and accumulation and efflux of DOX. / (A) Immunoblot analysis. The expression levels of LRP in isolated nuclei. (B) The levels of [14C]DOX in the isolated nuclei after incubation without (▪) or with (■) anti-LRP antibody were determined. Values represent means ± SEs of 3 separate experiments. *P < .05 (C) Efflux of [14C]DOX. [14C]DOX retained in nuclei isolated from KUT-2 cells without (●) or with (○) treatment with anti-LRP antibody; ATL cells from patient 29 without (▴) or with (▵) treatment with anti-LRP antibody; and ATL cells from patient 31 without (▪) or with (■) treatment with anti-LRP antibody. The effluxes of [14C]DOX from the nuclei isolated from ATL samples (patients 29 and 31) were significantly enhanced compared with nuclei from KUT-2 cells (P < .05). The anti-LRP antibody partially inhibited the enhanced efflux from the nuclei isolated from the ATL cells (patients 29 and 31) (P < .05). Values represent means ± SEs of 3 separate experiments. (D) The accumulation of DOX in the isolated nuclei from KUT-2 and from patients 28, 29, 31, and 32 was assessed by fluorescence microscopy. DPM indicates decay per minute.
