Abstract:	Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major cause for cancer chemotherapy failure. Among the numerous strategies to overcome persistent action of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor {alpha} (TNF-{alpha}) permits downregulation of MDR-associated genes, including ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B 1 gene (ABCB1). A key regulator of ABCB1 expression is the transcription factor nuclear factor {kappa} light chain enhancer (NF-{kappa}B)/p65. We analyzed diverging short- and long-term effects of TNF-{alpha} regarding modulation of NF-{kappa}B/p65 signaling and ABCB1 expression in colon cancer cells. Highly resistant ABCB1 overexpressing human HCT15 colorectal carcinoma cells were subjected to short- (30-120 min) or long-term (24-96 h) TNF-{alpha} treatment. TNF-{alpha} mediated modulation of ABCB1 expression was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR and western blot analysis. The TNF-mediated chemosensitization was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cytotoxicity assay. The involvement of TNF receptors and of NF-{kappa}B/p65 signaling was analyzed by western blot analysis, ABCB1 promoter analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The study revealed, that long-term, but not short-term TNF-{alpha} treatment leads to TNF-receptor 1 (TNFR1) mediated downregulation of ABCB1 resulting in sensitization towards drug treatment. It dampens NF-{kappa}B/p65 activation and nuclear factor of {kappa} light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor {alpha} (I{kappa}B{alpha}) resynthesis, associated with reduced nuclear accumulation of NF-{kappa}B/p65 and reduced binding to its consensus sequence in the ABCB1 promoter. The study reveals the diverging effects of short- or long-term TNF-{alpha} action and provides novel insights on downregulation of ABCB1 expression by TNF-mediated repression of NF-{kappa}B signaling.
