Chemotherapy is one of the major categories of medical oncology and a primary tumor treatment; however, the effectiveness of chemotherapy is restricted by drug resistance. Overcoming resistance to chemotherapy and investigating molecular targeted therapies are challenges currently faced during resistance management. Progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) is an adapter protein mediating cholesterol synthesis, steroid signaling, and cytochrome p450 activation. Attention has recently focused on the role of PGRMC1 in cell survival, anti-apoptosis, and damage response. In the present study, we used knockdown and overexpression approaches in the following set of uterine sarcoma models to further evaluate the role of PGRMC1 in drug resistance: the doxorubicin-sensitive MES-SA cells and the doxorubicin-resistant MES-SA/DxR-2 µM and MES-SA/DxR-8 µM cells (with different levels of doxorubicin resistance). PGRMC1 repressed doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity and exhibited an anti-apoptotic effect; it also promoted cell proliferation and cell cycle progression to the S phase. Of note, PGRMC1 overexpression led to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the sensitive MES-SA cells, thus facilitating their migration and invasion. The combination of PGRMC1 knockdown and the P-glycoprotein inhibitor verapamil significantly decreased the viability of P-glycoprotein-overexpressing MES-SA/DxR-8 μM cells after doxorubicin treatment. Taken together, our results show that PGRMC1 contributed to chemoresistance through cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis, and EMT induction, leading to the suggestion that PGRMC1 may serve as a therapeutic target in combination with an inhibitor in different drug resistance pathways and indicating the usefulness of predictive resistance biomarkers in uterine sarcoma.
