OBJECTIVE: • To investigate the role of S100 calcium-binding protein P (S100P) in the gain of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin) resistance in bladder cancer, having previously found, with cDNA microarrays using two pairs of parental (T24, KK47) and their cisplatin-resistant bladder cancer cell lines (T24/DDP10, KK47/DDP20), that S100P mRNA expression was significantly reduced in cisplatin-resistant cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: • S100P mRNA and protein expression levels were investigated by northern and western blot analyses, respectively. • Intracellular S100P localization was examined by immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry. • S100P over-expression, obtained by transfection with S100P expression plasmid, was used to investigate whether or not S100P affected cellular resistance to cisplatin. RESULTS: • S100P mRNA showed increased expression by cisplatin stimulation in parental cell lines. • On the other hand, S100P mRNA and protein expression levels were markedly reduced in cisplatin-resistant cells. • The over-expression of S100P in resistant cells resulted in an increased sensitivity to cisplatin. CONCLUSIONS: • In bladder cancer cells, S100P was expressed and localized mainly in the nucleus. • S100P expression was also involved in cisplatin sensitivity. • S100P might thus represent a molecular marker predicting cisplatin sensitivity and a molecular therapeutic target for cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
