The transport systems involved in the export of cellular reduced glutathione (GSH) have not been identified, although recent studies implicate a role for some of the multidrug resistance associated proteins (MRP), including MRP1 and MRP2. The present study examined the hypothesis that the yeast orthologue of MRP, Ycf1p, mediates ATP-dependent GSH transport. [3H]GSH transport was measured in vacuolar membrane vesicles isolated from a control strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (DTY165), the isogenic DTY167 strain that lacks a functional Ycf1p, and in DTY167 transformed with a 2-micrometer plasmid vector containing YCF1. GSH transport in control vacuolar membrane vesicles was mediated largely by an ATP-dependent, low affinity pathway (Km = 15 +/- 4 mM). ATP-dependent [3H]GSH transport was cis-inhibited by substrates of the yeast Ycf1p transporter and inhibited by 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, probenecid, and sulfinpyrazone, inhibitors of MRP1 and MRP2, but was minimally affected by membrane potential or pH gradient uncouplers. In contrast, ATP-dependent GSH transport was not seen in vacuolar membrane vesicles isolated from the DTY167 yeast strain without a functional Ycf1p but was restored to near wild-type levels in the DTY167 strain transformed with YCF1 and expressing the vacuolar Ycf1p transporter. On the other hand, expression and functional activity of a bile acid transporter, Bat1p, and of the V-type ATPase were similar in all three yeast strains. These results provide direct evidence for ATP-dependent low affinity transport of GSH by the yeast Ycf1p transporter. Because of the structural and functional homology between Ycf1p and MRP1 and MRP2, these data support the hypothesis that GSH efflux from mammalian cells is mediated by these membrane proteins.

Human kidney proximal tubule epithelia express the ATP-dependent export pump for anionic conjugates encoded by the MRP2 (cMRP/cMOAT) gene (symbol ABCC2). MRP2, the apical isoform of the multidrug resistance protein, is an integral membrane glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 190 kD that was originally cloned from liver and localized to the canalicular (apical) membrane domain of hepatocytes. In this study, MRP2 was detected in human kidney cortex by reverse transcription-PCR followed by sequencing of a 826-bp cDNA fragment and by immunoblotting using two different antibodies. Human MRP2 was localized to the apical brush-border membrane domain of proximal tubules by double and triple immunofluorescence microscopy including laser scanning microscopy. The expression of MRP2 in renal cell carcinoma was studied by reverse transcription-PCR and immunoblotting in samples from patients undergoing tumor-nephrectomy without prior chemotherapy. Clear-cell carcinomas, originating from the proximal tubule epithelium, expressed MRP2 in 95% (18 of 19) of cases. Immunofluorescence microscopy of MRP2 in clear-cell carcinoma showed a lack of a distinct apical-to-basolateral tumor cell polarity and an additional localization of MRP2 on intracellular membranes. MRP2, the first cloned ATP-dependent export pump for anionic conjugates detected in human kidney, may be involved in renal excretion of various anionic endogenous substances, xenobiotics, and cytotoxic drugs. This conjugate-transporting ATPase encoded by the MRP2 gene has a similar substrate specificity as the multidrug resistance protein MRP1, and may contribute to the multidrug resistance of renal clear-cell carcinomas.

The multidrug resistance protein MRP2 (ABCC2) acts as an ATP-dependent conjugate export pump in apical membranes of polarized cells and confers multidrug resistance. Purified MRP2 is essential for the detailed functional characterization of this member of the family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. In human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293), we have permanently expressed MRP2 containing an additional C-terminal (His)6-tag. Immunoblot and immunofluorescence analyses detected the MRP2-(His)6 overexpressing clones. Isolated membrane vesicles from the MRP2-(His)6-expressing cells were active in ATP-dependent transport of the glutathione S-conjugate leukotriene C4 and were photoaffinity-labelled with 8-azido-[alpha-32P]ATP. MRP2-(His)6 was solubilized from membranes of MRP2-(His)6-cells and purified to homogeneity in a three-step procedure using immobilized metal affinity chromatography, desalting, and immunoaffinity chromatography. The identity of the pure MRP2-(His)6 was verified by MS analysis of tryptic peptides. The purified MRP2-(His)6 glycoprotein was reconstituted into proteoliposomes and showed functional activity as ATPase in a protein-dependent manner with a Km for ATP of 2.1 mM and a Vmax of 25 nmol ADP x mg MRP2-1 x min-1. This ATPase activity was substrate-stimulated by oxidized and reduced glutathione and by S-decyl-glutathione. Future studies using pure MRP2 reconstituted in proteoliposomes should allow further insight into the molecular parameters contributing to MRP2 transport function and to define its intracellular partners for transport and multidrug resistance.

Several organic anions are actively extruded from intestinal epithelial cells into the lumen and vascular sides. To examine the role of the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) family in the intestinal efflux of organic anions, the function and expression of these proteins were investigated with Caco-2, a human adenocarcinoma cell line that retains many of the characteristics of normal enterocytes. [(3)H]2,4-Dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione (DNP-SG) and [(3)H]17beta-estradiol 17-beta-D-glucuronide (E(2)17betaG), typical substrates for MRP1 and cMOAT (canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter)/MRP2, were taken up into brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) from Caco-2 in an ATP-dependent manner, with K(m) values of 16.9 +/- 7.2 and 9.4 +/- 1.2 microM, respectively. The uptake of [(3)H]DNP-SG into BBMVs was osmotically sensitive and stimulated to some extent by other nucleotide triphosphates (GTP, CTP, and UTP) but not by ADP or AMP. An ATPase inhibitor, vanadate, inhibited the ATP-dependent uptake of [(3)H]DNP-SG to some extent. Reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction resulted in the amplification of MRP1, MRP3, and MRP5. Northern blot analysis indicated extensive expression of cMOAT/MRP2 and MRP3 and only minimal expression of MRP1 and MRP5. Although cMOAT/MRP2 was continuously expressed throughout the culture period, MRP3 was not expressed immediately after the confluent state was reached. Collectively, the presence of ATP-dependent transport systems for DNP-SG and E(2)17betaG was demonstrated in Caco-2 cells. Because cMOAT/MRP2 and MRP3 may be expressed on brush-border and basolateral membranes in epithelial cells, respectively, the transport activity associated with BBMVs may result from the function of cMOAT/MRP2.

The human multidrug resistance protein MRP1 and its homolog, MRP2, are both suggested as being involved in cancer drug resistance and the transport of organic anions. We expressed MRP1 and MRP2 in Spodoptera frugiperda ovarian cells and compared their ATP-dependent transport properties and vanadate-sensitive ATPase activities in isolated membrane vesicles. Both MRP1 and MRP2 actively transported leukotriene C(4) and N-ethylmaleimide glutathione (NEM-GS), although the relative affinity of MRP2 for these substrates was found to be significantly lower than that of MRP1. Methotrexate was actively transported by both proteins, although more efficiently by MRP2. ATP-dependent NEM-GS transport by MRP1 and MRP2 was variably modulated by organic anions. Probenecid and furosemide inhibited, whereas under certain conditions sulfinpyrazone, penicillin G, and indomethacin greatly stimulated, MRP2-mediated NEM-GS uptake. Vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity in isolated membranes containing MRP1 or MRP2 was significantly stimulated by NEM-GS and reduced GS, although these compounds acted only at higher concentrations in MRP2. ATP hydrolysis by MRP2 was also effectively stimulated by methotrexate. Probenecid, sulfinpyrazone, indomethacin, furosemide, and penicillin G all significantly increased MRP2-ATPase activity, whereas these compounds acted more as ATPase inhibitors on MRP1. These results indicate that MRP1 is a more efficient transporter of glutathione conjugates and free glutathione than MRP2, whereas several anions are preferred substrates for MRP2. Our data suggest that MRP2 may be responsible for the active secretion of pharmacologically relevant organic anions, such as diuretics and antibiotics, and indicate different modulation possibilities for MRP1 or MRP2 in drug-resistant tumor cells.

Overexpression of the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1) causes multidrug resistance in cultured cells. MRP1 transports a large number of glutathione, glucuronide, and sulfate-conjugated organic anions by an ATP-dependent efflux mechanism. Six other MRP proteins exist (MRP2-7), and mutations in some of these genes cause major pathological conditions in humans. A detailed characterization of the structure and mechanism of action of these proteins requires an efficient expression system from which large amounts of active protein can be obtained. We report the expression of a recombinant MRP1 in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The protein is expressed in the membrane fraction of these cells, as a stable and underglycosylated 165 kDa peptide. Expression levels are very high, and 30 times superior to those seen in multidrug-resistant HeLa/MRP1 transfectants. MRP1 expressed in P. pastoris binds 8-azido[alpha-(32)P]ATP in a Mg(2+)-dependent and EDTA-sensitive fashion, which can be competed by a molar excess of ADP and ATP. Under hydrolysis conditions (at 37 degrees C), orthovanadate induces trapping of the 8-azido[alpha-(32)P]nucleotide in MRP1, which can be further modulated by known MRP1 ligands. MRP1 is also labeled by a photoactive analogue of rhodamine 123 (IAARh123) in P. pastoris/MRP1 membranes, and this can be competed by known MRP1 ligands. Finally, MRP1-positive membrane vesicles show ATP-dependent uptake of LTC(4). Thus, MRP1 expressed in P. pastoris is active and shows characteristics of MRP1 expressed in mammalian cells, including drug binding, ligand-modulated formation of the MRP1-MgADP-P(i) intermediate (ATPase activity), and ATP-dependent substrate transport. The successful expression of catalytically active and transport-competent MRP1 in P. pastoris should greatly facilitate the efficient production and isolation of the wild type or inactive mutants of MRP1, or of other MRP proteins for structural and functional characterization.

The human multidrug resistance-associated protein(MRP1) is an ATP-dependent efflux pump that transports anionic conjugates, and hydrophobic compounds in a glutathione dependent manner. Similar to the other, well-characterized multidrug transporter P-gp, MRP1 comprises two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) in addition to transmembrane domains. However, whereas the NBDs of P-gp have been shown to be functionally equivalent, those of MRP1 differ significantly. The isolated NBDs of MRP1 have been characterized in Escherichia coli as fusions with either the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) or the maltose-binding domain (MBP). The nonfused NBD1 was obtained by cleavage of the fusion protein with thrombin. The GST-fused forms of NBD1 and NBD2 hydrolyzed ATP with an apparent K(m) of 340 microm and a V(max) of 6.0 nmol P(I) x mg-1 x min-1, and a K(m) of 910 microm ATP and a V(max) of 7.5 nmol P(I) x mg-1 x min-1, respectively. Remarkably, S-decyl-glutathione, a conjugate specifically transported by MRP1 and MRP2, was able to stimulate the ATPase activities of the isolated NBDs more than 2-fold in a concentration-dependent manner. However,the stimulation of the ATPase activity was found to coincide with the formation of micelles by S-decyl-glutathione. Equivalent stimulation of ATPase activity could be obtained by surfactants with similar critical micelle concentrations.

Intrinsic or acquired resistance to chemotherapy is the major obstacle to overcome in the treatment of patients with solid carcinoma. Cisplatin is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents for treating ovarian carcinoma. Recently, copper-transporting P-type adenosine triphosphatase (ATP7B) has been demonstrated as one of the genes responsible for cisplatin resistance in vitro. We hypothesized that the expression of ATP7B gene increases resistance to cisplatin in ovarian carcinoma and a priori knowledge of its expression is important for the choice of therapy. The aim of our study was to assess the role of ATP7B gene in ovarian carcinoma and compare its expression with those of multidrug resistance-related transporters such as MDR1, MRP1, MRP2, LRP and BCRP genes. The transporters' gene expression profiles from 82 patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy after surgery were assessed by RT-PCR. We did not observe any significant correlation between ATP7B gene expression and those of MDR1, MRP1, MRP2, LRP or BCRP. The expression level of ATP7B gene was significantly increased (p < 0.05) in patients with moderately-/poorly-differentiated ovarian carcinomas treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy, thus ATP7B may serve as an independent prognostic factor in these patients. In contrast, the expression level of MDR1, MRP1, MRP2, LRP and BCRP genes were not prognostic indicators of disease. These findings suggest that ATP7B gene may be considered as a novel chemoresistance marker and that inhibitor(s) of ATP7B might be useful, in patients with ovarian carcinoma treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

The multidrug resistance proteins MRP2 (ABCC2) and MRP3 (ABCC3) are key primary active transporters involved in anionic conjugate and drug extrusion from the human liver. The major physiological role of MRP2 is to transport conjugated metabolites into the bile canaliculus, whereas MRP3 is localized in the basolateral membrane of the hepatocytes and transports similar metabolites back to the bloodstream. Both proteins were shown to interact with a large variety of transported substrates, and earlier studies suggested that MRPs may work as co-transporters for different molecules. In the present study we expressed the human MRP2 and MRP3 proteins in insect cells and examined their transport and ATPase characteristics in isolated, inside-out membrane vesicles. We found that the primary active transport of estradiol-17-beta-d-glucuronide (E217betaG), a major product of human steroid metabolism, was differently modulated by bile acids and organic anions in the case of human MRP2 and MRP3. Active E217betaG transport by MRP2 was significantly stimulated by the organic anions indomethacin, furosemide, and probenecid and by several conjugated bile acids. In contrast, all of these agents inhibited E217betaG transport by MRP3. We found that in the case of MRP2, ATP-dependent vesicular bile acid transport was increased by E217betaG, and the results indicated an allosteric cross-stimulation, probably a co-transport of bile acids and glucuronate conjugates through this protein. There was no such stimulation of bile acid transport by MRP3. In conclusion, the different transport modulation of MRPs by bile acids and anionic drugs could play a major role in regulating physiological and pathological metabolite fluxes in the human liver.

Annexin 1 is secreted by mammalian cells but lacks a leader signal sequence necessary to lead it to the classical secretory pathway via the endoplasmic reticulum. The mechanisms involved in the secretion of leaderless proteins remain uncertain. It has been suggested to involve membrane translocation via an ABC-transporter (ATP binding cassette). Using cultured inflamed mucosa from rectocolitis induced in rats, we studied if annexin 1 secretion followed the two main characteristics of ABC-transporter substrates: dependency on ATP hydrolysis and competitive inhibition by several other ABC-transporter substrates. Annexin 1 secretion is inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by two ATPase inhibitors. The inhibition reached 63.2+/-3.2%, 66.1+/-3.73% and 88.6+/-1.4% in the presence of 2mM vanadate, 0.5 and 1mM pervanadate, respectively. The efflux of calcein, a known ABC-transporter substrate, is similarly inhibited by 69.4+/-2.8% in the presence of 1mM pervanadate. Probenecid, an inhibitor of several ABC-transporters of the subfamilly ABCC or MRP (multidrug resistant associated protein), also inhibited annexin 1 secretion in a dose-dependent manner. As compared to control, 10mM probenecid reduced annexin 1 secretion by 72+/-20% and 20mM by 95.0+/-9%. By contrast, annexin 1 secretion is not blocked by other inhibitors of MRP1 (indomethacin, MK571), MRP2 (ochratoxin A1 or MK571), MRP5 (trequinsin or sulfinpyrazone) or by verapamil, cyclosporin A or glyburide. Taken together, our results show that annexin 1 secretion appears to share the efflux properties of ABC-transporter substrates.
