In the present study, we have cloned the cDNA of ABCC13, a novel ABC transporter, from the cDNA library of adult human placenta. The ABCC13 gene spans approximately 70kb on human chromosome 21q11.2 and consists of 14 exons. The open reading frame of the ABCC13 cDNA encodes a peptide consisting of 325 amino acid residues. The amino acid sequence corresponding to putative membrane-spanning domains was remarkably similar to ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC3, and ABCC6. The ABCC13 gene was expressed in the fetal liver at the highest level among the organs studied. While ABCC13 was expressed in the bone marrow, its expression in peripheral blood leukocytes of adult humans was much lower and no detectable levels were observed in differentiated hematopoietic cells. The expression of ABCC13 in K562 cells decreased during cell differentiation induced by TPA. These results suggest that the expression of human ABCC13 is related with hematopoiesis.

Drug resistance is a major obstacle to the successful chemotherapy. Several ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters including ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2 have been known to be important mediators of chemoresistance. Using oligonucleotide microarrays (HG-U133 Plus 2.0; Affymetrix), we analyzed the ABC transporter gene expression profiles in breast cancer patients who underwent sequential weekly paclitaxel/FEC (5-fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide) neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We compared the ABC transporter expression profile between two classes of pretreatment tumor samples divided by the patients' pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (residual disease [RD] versus pathologic complete response [pCR]) ABCB3, ABCC7 and ABCF2 showed significantly high expression in the pCR. Several ABC transporters including ABCC5, ABCA12, ABCA1 ABCC13, ABCB6 and ABCC11 showed significantly increased expression in the RD (p<0.05). We evaluated the feasibility of developing a multigene predictor model of pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy using gene expression profiles of ABC transporters. The prediction error was evaluated by leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV). A multigene predictor model with the ABC transporters differentially expressed between the two classes (p<or=0.003) showed an average 92.8% of predictive accuracy (95% CI, 88.0-97.4%) with a 93.2% (95% CI, 85.2-100%) positive predictive value for pCR, a 93.6% (95% CI, 87.8-99.4%) negative predictive value, a sensitivity of 88.1%(95% CI, 76.8-99.4%), and a specificity of 95.9% (91.1% CI, 87.8-100%). Our results suggest that several ABC transporters in human breast cancer cells may affect the clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and transcriptional profiling of these genes may be useful to predict the pathologic response to sequential weekly paclitaxel/FEC in breast cancer patients.

Human contains 49 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes and the multidrug resistance associated proteins (MRP1/ABCC1, MRP2/ABCC2, MRP3/ABCC3, MRP4/ABCC4, MRP5/ABCC5, MRP6/ABCC6, MRP7/ABCC10, MRP8/ABCC11 and MRP9/ABCC12) belong to the ABCC family which contains 13 members. ABCC7 is cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; ABCC8 and ABCC9 are the sulfonylurea receptors which constitute the ATP-sensing subunits of a complex potassium channel. MRP10/ABCC13 is clearly a pseudo-gene which encodes a truncated protein that is highly expressed in fetal human liver with the highest similarity to MRP2/ABCC2 but without transporting activity. These transporters are localized to the apical and/or basolateral membrane of the hepatocytes, enterocytes, renal proximal tubule cells and endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier. MRP/ABCC members transport a structurally diverse array of important endogenous substances and xenobiotics and their metabolites (in particular conjugates) with different substrate specificity and transport kinetics. The human MRP/ABCC transporters except MRP9/ABCC12 are all able to transport organic anions, such as drugs conjugated to glutathione, sulphate or glucuronate. In addition, selected MRP/ABCC members may transport a variety of endogenous compounds, such as leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4) by MRP1/ABCC1), bilirubin glucuronides (MRP2/ABCC2, and MRP3/ABCC3), prostaglandins E1 and E2 (MRP4/ABCC4), cGMP (MRP4/ABCC4, MRP5/ABCC5, and MRP8/ABCC11), and several glucuronosyl-, or sulfatidyl steroids. In vitro, the MRP/ABCC transporters can collectively confer resistance to natural product anticancer drugs and their conjugated metabolites, platinum compounds, folate antimetabolites, nucleoside and nucleotide analogs, arsenical and antimonial oxyanions, peptide-based agents, and in concert with alterations in phase II conjugating or biosynthetic enzymes, classical alkylating agents, alkylating agents. Several MRP/ABCC members (MRPs 1-3) are associated with tumor resistance which is often caused by an increased efflux and decreased intracellular accumulation of natural product anticancer drugs and other anticancer agents. Drug targeting of these transporters to overcome MRP/ABCC-mediated multidrug resistance may play a role in cancer chemotherapy. Most MRP/ABCC transporters are subject to inhibition by a variety of compounds. Based on currently available preclinical and limited clinical data, it can be expected that modulation of MRP members may represent a useful approach in the management of anticancer and antimicrobial drug resistance and possibly of inflammatory diseases and other diseases. A better understanding of their substrates and inhibitors has important implications in development of drugs for treatment of cancer and inflammation.
