Leptomycin B (LMB) an antibiotic originally isolated from Streptomyces, is a specific inhibitor of CRM1 (exportin 1), an evolutionarily conserved receptor for the nuclear export signal of proteins. It binds covalently to cysteine 528 in the nuclear export signal binding region of CRM1 leading to the inhibition of protein nuclear export. It was shown, that LMB possessed the ability to augment the effect of the tumor suppressor p53 in esophageal squamous cancer cell lines and thus LMB could be a promising component in p53 gene therapy. Recently was conducted experiments, which revealed, that LMB at a very low concentration (0.5 nM) combined with gefitinib have shown synergistic therapeutic effects and have ameliorated the development of gefitinib-induced resistance in lung cancer cells.

Curator's Comment: It was discovered, that leptomycin B (LMB) possessed the ability to augment the effect of the tumor suppressor p53 in esophageal squamous cancer cell lines and it was a promising component in p53 gene therapy. Antiproliferative effect of LMB was assessed in human esophageal squamous cancer cell lines. Accumulation of p53 protein into the nucleus by LMB was observed by fluorescence microscopy. The combined effect of p53 and LMB was evaluated in vitro experiments.
