Multidrug resistance may be conferred by P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) or the multidrug resistance associated protein (MRP). These membrane proteins are members of the ATP binding cassette transporter superfamily and are responsible for the removal from the cell of several anticancer agents including doxorubicin. Modulators can inhibit these transporters. LY335979 is among the most potent modulators of Pgp with a Ki of 59 nM. LY335979 is selective for Pgp, and does not modulate MRP-mediated resistance by MRP1 (ABCC1) and MRP2 (ABCC2). LY335979 significantly enhanced the survival of mice implanted with Pgp-expressing murine leukemia (P388/ADR) when administered in combination with either daunorubicin, doxorubicin or etoposide. Coadministration of LY335979 with paclitaxel compared to paclitaxel alone significantly reduced the tumor mass of the Pgp-expressing UCLA-P3.003VLB lung carcinoma in a xenograph model and delayed the development of tumors in mice implanted with the parental drug-sensitive UCLA-P3 tumor. LY335979 was without significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of these anticancer agents. This may be due impart to its poor inhibition of four major cytochrome P450 isozymes important in metabolizing doxorubicin and other oncolytics. The selectivity and potency of this modulator allows the clinical evaluation of the role of Pgp in multidrug resistance. LY335979 is currently in clinical trials.

Small hydrophobic peptides were studied as possible substrates of the multidrug resistance protein (MRP)-1 (ABCC1) transmembrane transporter molecule. As observed earlier for P-glycoprotein- (Pgp; ABCB1) overexpressing cells, MRP1-overexpressing cells, including cells stably transfected with the MRP1 cDNA, showed distinct resistance to the cytotoxic peptide N-acetyl-Leu-Leu-norleucinal (ALLN). Resistance to this peptide and another toxic peptide derivative, which is based on a Thr-His-Thr-Nle-Glu-Gly backbone conjugated to butyl and benzyl groups (4A6), could be reversed by MRP1 inhibitors. The reduced toxicity of 4A6 in MRP1-overexpressing cells was found to be associated with lower accumulation of a fluorescein-labeled derivative of this peptide. Glutathione (GSH) depletion had a clear effect on resistance to ALLN but hardly affected 4A6 resistance. In a limited structure-activity study using peptides that are analogous to 4A6, MRP1-overexpressing cells were found to be resistant to these peptides as well. Remarkably, when selecting A2780 ovarian cancer cells for resistance to ALLN, even in the absence of Pgp blockers, resulting cell lines had up-regulated MRP1, rather than any of the other currently known multidrug resistance transporter molecules including Pgp, MRP2 (ABCC2), MRP3 (ABCC3), MRP5 (ABCCS), and the breast cancer resistance protein ABCG2. ALLN-resistant, MRP1-overexpressing cells were found to be cross-resistant to 4A6 and the classical multidrug resistance drugs doxorubicin, vincristine, and etoposide. This establishes MRP1 as a transporter for small hydrophobic peptides. More extensive structure-activity relationship studies should allow the identification of clinically useful peptide antagonists of MRP1.

Several years ago, we initiated a long-term project of cloning new human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and linking them to various disease phenotypes. As one of the results of this project, we present two new members of the human ABCC subfamily, ABCC11 and ABCC12. These two new human ABC transporters were fully characterized and mapped to the human chromosome 16q12. With the addition of these two genes, the complete human ABCC subfamily has 12 identified members (ABCC1-12), nine from the multidrug resistance-like subgroup, two from the sulfonylurea receptor subgroup, and the CFTR gene. Phylogenetic analysis determined that ABCC11 and ABCC12 are derived by duplication, and are most closely related to the ABCC5 gene. Genetic variation in some ABCC subfamily members is associated with human inherited diseases, including cystic fibrosis (CFTR/ABCC7), Dubin-Johnson syndrome (ABCC2), pseudoxanthoma elasticum (ABCC6) and familial persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (ABCC8). Since ABCC11 and ABCC12 were mapped to a region harboring gene(s) for paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis, the two genes represent positional candidates for this disorder.

Mutations in the ABCC6 (MRP6) gene cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), a rare heritable disorder resulting in the calcification of elastic fibers. In the present study a cDNA encoding a full-length normal variant of ABCC6 was amplified from a human kidney cDNA library, and the protein was expressed in Sf9 insect cells. In isolated membranes ATP binding as well as ATP-dependent active transport by ABCC6 was demonstrated. We found that glutathione conjugates, including leukotriene C(4) and N-ethylmaleimide S-glutathione (NEM-GS), were actively transported by human ABCC6. Organic anions (probenecid, benzbromarone, indomethacin), known to interfere with glutathione conjugate transport of human ABCC1 and ABCC2, inhibited the ABCC6-mediated NEM-GS transport in a specific manner, indicating that ABCC6 has a unique substrate specificity. We have also expressed three missense mutant forms of ABCC6, which have recently been shown to cause PXE. MgATP binding was normal in these proteins; ATP-dependent NEM-GS or leukotriene C(4) transport, however, was abolished. Our data indicate that human ABCC6 is a primary active transporter for organic anions. In the three ABCC6 mutant forms examined, the loss of transport activity suggests that these mutations result in a PXE phenotype through a direct influence on the transport activity of this ABC transporter.

We screened DNAs from 48 Japanese individuals for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight genes encoding the ATP-binding cassette, subfamily C (ABCC/ MRP/CFTR), by direct sequencing of their entire genomic regions, except repetitive sequence elements. This approach identified 688 SNPs and 91 insertion/deletion polymorphisms among the eight genes. Of the 688 SNPs, 81 were identified in the ABCC1 gene, 41 in ABCC2, 30 in ABCC3, 230 in ABCC4, 76 in ABCC5, 58 in CFTR, 102 in ABCC8. and 70 in ABCC9. Six SNPs were located in the 5' flanking regions, 617 in introns, 46 in exons, and 19 in the 3' flanking regions. These variants should contribute to studies that investigate possible correlations of genotypes with disease-susceptibility phenotypes and responsiveness or adverse effects to drugs.

The apical multidrug resistance protein MRP2 (symbol ABCC2) is an ATP-dependent export pump for anionic conjugates in polarized cells. MRP2 has only 48% amino acid identity with the paralog MRP1 (ABCC1). In this study we show that purified recombinant MRP2 reconstituted in proteoliposomes is functionally active in substrate transport. The Km values for ATP and LTC4 in the transport by MRP2 in proteoliposomes were 560 microM and 450 nM, respectively. This transport function of MRP2 in proteoliposomes was dependent on the amount of MRP2 protein present and was determined to 2.7 pmol x min(-1) x mg MRP2(-1) at 100 nM LTC4. Transport was competitively inhibited by the quinoline derivative MK571 with 50% inhibition at about 12 microM. Our data document the first reconstitution of transport-active purified recombinant MRP2. Binding and immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that MRP2 preferentially associates with the chaperone calnexin, but co-reconstitution studies using purified MRP2 and purified calnexin in proteoliposomes suggested that the LTC4 transport function of MRP2 is not dependent on calnexin. The purified, transport-active MRP2 may serve to identify additional interacting proteins in the apical membrane of polarized cells.

To determine if saquinavir mesylate (saquinavir) is a substrate of human multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (hMRP1 [ABCC1]) or hMRP2 (cMOAT, or ABCC2), MDCKII cells that overexpress either hMRP1 (MDCKII-MRP1) or hMRP2 (MDCKII-MRP2) were used to investigate saquinavir's cytotoxicity and transport in comparison with those of control MDCKII wild-type (MDCKII/wt) cells. Cytotoxicity was assessed with the mitochondrial marker MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium], and saquinavir transport was measured directly through the cell monolayers. GF120918 (an inhibitor of P glycoprotein, but not of the MRP family) and MK-571 (an MRP family inhibitor) were used to delineate the specific contributions of these transporters to saquinavir cytotoxicity and transport. In the presence of GF120918 and increasing saquinavir concentrations, the MDCKII-MRP1 (50% lethal dose [LD(50)] = 10.5 micro M) and MDCKII-MRP2 (LD(50) = 27.1 micro M) cell lines exhibited statistically greater viability than the MDCKII/wt cells (LD(50) = 7.8 micro M). Saquinavir efflux was directional, not saturable, and was inhibited by MK-571 (35 and 75 micro M) in all cell lines. The ratios of saquinavir (3 micro M) basolateral to apical permeability (i.e., efflux ratios) for the MDCKII/wt, MDCKII-MRP1, and MDCKII-MRP2 cell monolayers were 2.6, 1.8, and 6.8, respectively. The MDCKII-MRP1 cells have a significantly reduced saquinavir efflux ratio relative to MDCKII/wt cells, due to basolaterally directed transport by hMRP1 competing with endogenous, apically directed canine MRP2. The MDCKII-MRP2 cells have a significantly increased saquinavir efflux ratio relative to MDCKII/wt cells, due to the additive effects of the apically directed transport by hMRP2 and endogenous MRP2. Collectively, the cytotoxicity and transport results provide direct evidence that saquinavir is transported by MRP1 and MRP2.

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.

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) genes play a role in the resistance of malignant cells to anticancer agents. The ABC gene products, including ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein), ABCC1 (MRP1), ABCC2 (MRP2, cMOAT), and ABCG2 (BCRP, MXR, ABCP) are also known to influence oral absorption and disposition of a wide variety of drugs. As a result, the expression levels of these proteins in humans have important consequences for an individual's susceptibility to certain drug-induced side effects, interactions, and treatment efficacy. Naturally occurring variants in ABC transporter genes have been identified that might affect the function and expression of the protein. This review focuses on recent advances in the pharmacogenomics of ABC transporters, and discusses potential implications of genetic variants for the chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer.

Our previous studies have shown that the glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) can operate in synergy with the efflux transporter multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1, ABCC1) to confer resistance to the cyto- and genotoxicities of some anticancer drugs and carcinogens. The current study was designed to determine whether the alternative efflux transporter, MRP2 (ABCC2), can also potentiate GST-mediated detoxifications in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells, which express high-level MRP2 but not MRP1, were stably transduced with GST expression vectors under tetracycline-repressible transcriptional control. MRP2 was able to support GSTA1-1-mediated resistance to chlorambucil (CHB) cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells. Resistance was GST isozyme-specific in that GSTP1a-1a and GSTM1a-1a failed to confer protection from CHB toxicity. Moreover, inhibition of MRP2 with sulfinpyrazone completely reversed GSTA1-1-associated resistance, indicating that MRP2-efflux function is required to potentiate GSTA1-1-mediated resistance. Relative transport by MRP1 versus MRP2 of monoglutathionyl-CHB (CHB-SG) was examined using inside-out plasma membrane vesicles derived from MCF7 cells transduced with MRP1 or MRP2 expression vectors. Both MRP1 and MRP2 transported CHB-SG efficiently, at the levels of protein expressed, with similar Vmax and with Km of 0.39 and 10 microM, respectively. We conclude that detoxification of CHB by GSTA1-1 requires the removal of the glutathione conjugate formed and that either MRP1 or MRP2 can serve this efflux function. These findings have implications for the role of MRP2 in detoxification of alkylating agents in the apical epithelium of liver and kidney where it is highly expressed as well as the role of MRP2 in the emergence of alkylating drug resistance in cancer cells.
