Abstract

Primary cilia (PC) are microtubule-based organelles that function as cellular antennae to sense and transduce extracellular signals. Nephronophthisis 3 (NPHP3) is localized in the inversin compartment of PC. Mutations in NPHP3 are associated with renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia. In this study, we investigated whether vinblastine (VBL), a microtubule destabilizer, induces anticancer drug resistance through NPHP3-associated PC formation in HeLa human cervical cancer cells. A considerable increase in PC frequency was observed in HeLa cells under serum-deprived (SD) conditions, which led to the inhibition of VBL-induced cell death. VBL-resistant cells were established by repetitive treatments with VBL and showed an increase in PC frequency. NPHP3 expression was also increased by VBL treatment under serum starvation as well as in VBL-resistant cells. NPHP3 expression and PC-associated resistance were positively correlated with apoptosis-antagonizing transcription factor (AATF) and negatively correlated with inhibition of NPHP3. In addition, AATF-mediated NPHP3 expression is associated with PC formation via the regulation of intraflagellar transport protein 88 (IFT88). VBL resistance ability was reduced by treating with ciliobrevin A, a well-known ciliogenesis inhibitor. Collectively, cancer cell survival following VBL treatment is regulated by PC formation via AATF-mediated expression of IFT88 and NPHP3. Our data suggest that the activation of AATF and IFT88 could be a novel regulator to induce anticancer drug resistance through NPHP3-associated PC formation.
