Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) belongs to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. It is able to efflux a broad range of anti-cancer drugs through the cellular membrane, thus limiting their anti-proliferative effects. Due to its relatively recent discovery in 1998, and in contrast to the other ABC transporters P-glycoprotein (MDR1/ABCB1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1/ABCC1), only a few BCRP inhibitors have been reported. This review summarizes the known classes of inhibitors that are either specific for BCRP or also inhibit the other multidrug resistance ABC transporters. Information is presented on structure-activity relationship aspects and how modulators may interact with BCRP.

Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) is an ATP-dependent efflux pump that can confer resistance to multiple anticancer drugs and transport conjugated organic anions. Unusually, transport of several MRP1 substrates requires glutathione (GSH). For example, estrone sulfate transport by MRP1 is stimulated by GSH, vincristine is co-transported with GSH, or GSH can be transported alone. In the present study, radioligand binding assays were developed to investigate the mechanistic details of GSH-stimulated transport of estrone sulfate by MRP1. We have established that estrone sulfate binding to MRP1 requires GSH, or its non-reducing analogue S-methyl GSH (S-mGSH), and further that the affinity (Kd) of MRP1 for estrone sulfate is 2.5-fold higher in the presence of S-mGSH than GSH itself. Association kinetics show that GSH binds to MRP1 first, and we propose that GSH binding induces a conformational change, which makes the estrone sulfate binding site accessible. Binding of non-hydrolyzable ATP analogues to MRP1 decreases the affinity for estrone sulfate. However, GSH (or S-mGSH) is still required for estrone sulfate binding, and the affinity for GSH is unchanged. Estrone sulfate affinity remains low following hydrolysis of ATP. The affinity for GSH also appears to decrease in the post-hydrolytic state. Our results indicate ATP binding is sufficient for reconfiguration of the estrone sulfate binding site to lower affinity and argue for the presence of a modulatory GSH binding site not associated with transport of this tripeptide. A model for the mechanism of GSH-stimulated estrone sulfate transport is proposed.

Dendritic cells (DC) express the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1; ABCC1). Functionally, both these transporters have been described to be required for efficient DC and T cell migration. In this study, we report that MRP1 activity is also crucial for differentiation of DC. Inhibition of MRP1, but not P-glycoprotein, transporter activity with specific antagonists during in vitro DC differentiation interfered with early DC development. Impaired interstitial and Langerhans DC differentiation was characterized by 1) morphological changes, reflected by dropped side scatter levels in flow cytometric analysis and 2) phenotypic changes illustrated by maintained expression of the monocytic marker CD14, lower expression levels of CD40, CD86, HLA-DR, and a significant decrease in the amount of cells expressing CD1a, CD1c, and Langerin. Defective DC differentiation also resulted in their reduced ability to stimulate allogeneic T cells. We identified the endogenous CD1 ligands sulfatide and monosialoganglioside GM1 as MRP1 substrates, but exogenous addition of these substrates could not restore the defects caused by blocking MRP1 activity during DC differentiation. Although leukotriene C(4) was reported to restore migration of murine Mrp1-deficient DC, the effects of MRP1 inhibition on DC differentiation appeared to be independent of the leukotriene pathway. Though MRP1 transporter activity is important for DC differentiation, the relevant MRP1 substrate, which is required for DC differentiation, remains to be identified. Altogether, MRP1 seems to fulfill an important physiological role in DC development and DC functions.

Early publications using cultured cancer cells immediately recognized the phenomenon of resistance to anticancer agents. However, it was not until 1973 that it was first demonstrated that a major factor in the resistance of cancer cells was that of reduced drug accumulation. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the discovery by Juliano and Ling that P-glycoprotein mediates this active efflux of chemotherapeutic drugs from cancer cells. Since this seminal finding, the investigation of P-glycoprotein (MDR1, ATP binding cassette [ABC]B1) has proceeded with great vigour. However, it soon became apparent that P-glycoprotein was not expressed in all drug-resistant cells that displayed an accumulation deficiency, which led to the discovery of other ABC transporters involved in drug efflux. In 1992, the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1, ABCC1) was identified in small cell lung cancer followed by breast cancer resistance protein (mitoxantrone resistance protein, ABCG2) in 1999. After three decades of research, can we confidently define the contribution of multidrug resistance transporters to chemoresistance and do we have clinically useful drugs to sensitise cancers?

The cytotoxicity of the alkaloid emetine was determined in six human cell lines that differ in the expression of ABC transporters, such as multiple drug resistance protein 1 (MDR1/ABCB1) and multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1). Emetine reveals a substantial cytotoxicity due to apoptosis that is inversely correlated with the expression of MDR1. Confluent Caco-2 cells with high MDR1 activity and the MDR1 over-expressing leukemia cell line CEM/ADR5000 are more resistant towards emetine (EC (50) 250 microM and 2 microM, respectively) than cells with a low expression of MDR1 (Jurkat cells, CCRF-CEM cells, HL-60 cells) or cells which over-express MRP1 (HL-60/AR) (EC (50) between 0.05 microM for CCRF-CEM and 0.17 microM for Jurkat cells). Apparently emetine is a substrate for MDR1 but not for MRP1. Furthermore, emetine is able to up-regulate the expression of MDR1 as shown IN VITRO by real-time PCR and transport activity studies.

The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters constitute a large family of membrane proteins, which transport a variety of compounds through the membrane against a concentration gradient at the cost of ATP hydrolysis. Substrates of the ABC transporters include lipids, bile acids, xenobiotics, and peptides for antigen presentation. As they transport exogenous and endogenous compounds, they reduce the body load of potentially harmful substances. One by-product of such protective function is that they also eliminate various useful drugs from the body, causing drug resistance. This review is a brief summary of the structure, function, and expression of the important drug resistance-conferring members belonging to three subfamilies of the human ABC family; these are ABCB1 (MDR1/P-glycoprotein of subfamily ABCB), subfamily ABCC (MRPs), and ABCG2 (BCRP of subfamily ABCG), which are expressed in various organs. In the text, the transporter symbol that carries the subfamily name (such as ABCB1, ABCC1, etc.) is used interchangeably with the corresponding original names, such as MDR1P-glycoprotein, MRP1, etc., respectively. Both nomenclatures are maintained in the text because both are still used in the transporter literature. This helps readers relate various names that they encounter in the literature. It now appears that P-glycoprotein, MRP1, MRP2, and BCRP can explain the phenomenon of multidrug resistance in all cell lines analyzed thus far. Also discussed are the gene structure, regulation of expression, and various polymorphisms in these genes. Because genetic polymorphism is thought to underlie interindividual differences, including their response to drugs and other xenobiotics, the importance of polymorphism in these genes is also discussed.

Many studies have been performed with the aim of developing effective resistance modulators to overcome the multidrug resistance (MDR) of human cancers. Potent MDR modulators are being investigated in clinical trials. Many current studies are focused on dietary herbs due to the fact that these have been used for centuries without producing any harmful side effects. In this study, the effect of tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) on three ABC drug transporter proteins, P-glycoprotein (P-gp or ABCB1), mitoxantrone resistance protein (MXR or ABCG2) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1 or ABCC1) was investigated, to assess whether an ultimate metabolite form of curcuminoids (THC) is able to modulate MDR in cancer cells. Two different types of cell lines were used for P-gp study, human cervical carcinoma KB-3-1 (wild type) and KB-V-1 and human breast cancer MCF-7 (wild type) and MCF-7 MDR, whereas, pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1-MRP1 transfected HEK 293 and MXR overexpressing MCF7AdrVp3000 or MCF7FL1000 and its parental MCF-7 were used for MRP1 and MXR study, respectively. We report here for the first time that THC is able to inhibit the function of P-gp, MXR and MRP1. The results of flow cytometry assay indicated that THC is able to inhibit the function of P-gp and thereby significantly increase the accumulation of rhodamine and calcein AM in KB-V-1 cells. The result was confirmed by the effect of THC on [(3)H]-vinblastine accumulation and efflux in MCF-7 and MCF-7MDR. THC significantly increased the accumulation and inhibited the efflux of [(3)H]-vinblastine in MCF-7 MDR in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect was not found in wild type MCF-7 cell line. The interaction of THC with the P-gp molecule was clearly indicated by ATPase assay and photoaffinity labeling of P-gp with transport substrate. THC stimulated P-gp ATPase activity and inhibited the incorporation of [(125)I]-iodoarylazidoprazosin (IAAP) into P-gp in a concentration-dependent manner. The binding of [(125)I]-IAAP to MXR was also inhibited by THC suggesting that THC interacted with drug binding site of the transporter. THC dose dependently inhibited the efflux of mitoxantrone and pheophorbide A from MXR expressing cells (MCF7AdrVp3000 and MCF7FL1000). Similarly with MRP1, the efflux of a fluorescent substrate calcein AM was inhibited effectively by THC thereby the accumulation of calcein was increased in MRP1-HEK 293 and not its parental pcDNA3.1-HEK 293 cells. The MDR reversing properties of THC on P-gp, MRP1, and MXR were determined by MTT assay. THC significantly increased the sensitivity of vinblastine, mitoxantrone and etoposide in drug resistance KB-V-1, MCF7AdrVp3000 and MRP1-HEK 293 cells, respectively. This effect was not found in respective drug sensitive parental cell lines. Taken together, this study clearly showed that THC inhibits the efflux function of P-gp, MXR and MRP1 and it is able to extend the MDR reversing activity of curcuminoids in vivo.

Subcutaneous injection of sodium arsenite (NaAs, 12.5 mg/kg) into BALB/c [wild-type (WT)] mice causes acute renal dysfunction characterized by severe hemorrhages, acute tubular necrosis, and cast formation, with increases in serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels. Concomitant enhancement in intrarenal interferon (IFN)-gamma expression prompted us to examine its roles in this pathology. IFN-gamma-deficient (IFN-gamma-/-) mice exhibited higher serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels and exaggerated histopathological changes, compared with WT mice. Eventually, IFN-gamma-/- mice exhibited a high mortality (87.5%) within 24 hours after NaAs challenge, whereas most WT mice survived. The intrarenal arsenic concentration was significantly higher in IFN-gamma-/- mice later than 10 hours after NaAs treatment, with attenuated intrarenal expression of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 1, a main transporter for NaAs efflux, compared with WT mice. NF-E2-related factor (Nrf) 2 protein, a transcription factor crucial for MRP1 gene expression, was similarly increased in the kidneys of both strains of mice after NaAs treatment. In contrast, the absence of IFN-gamma augmented transforming growth factor-beta-Smad3 signal pathway and eventually enhanced the expression of activating transcription factor 3, which is presumed to repress Nrf2-mediated MRP1 gene expression. Thus, IFN-gamma can protect against NaAs-induced acute renal injury, probably by maintaining Nrf2-mediated intrarenal MRP1 gene expression.

Mast cells play a pivotal role in inflammatory and immediate-type allergic reactions by secreting a variety of potent inflammatory mediators, including sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). However, it is not known how S1P is released from cells. Here, we report that S1P is exported from mast cells independently of their degranulation and demonstrate that it is mediated by ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Constitutive and antigen-stimulated S1P release was inhibited by MK571, an inhibitor of ABCC1 (MRP1), but not by inhibitors of ABCB1 (MDR-1, P-glycoprotein). Moreover, down-regulation of ABCC1 with small interfering RNA, which decreased its cell surface expression, markedly reduced S1P export from both rat RBL-2H3 and human LAD2 mast cells. Transport of S1P by ABCC1 influenced migration of mast cells toward antigen but not degranulation. These findings have important implications for S1P functions in mast cell-mediated immune responses.

Drug transporters are membrane proteins present in various tissues such as the lymphocytes, intestine, liver, kidney, testis, placenta, and central nervous system. These transporters play a significant role in drug absorption and distribution to organic systems, particularly if the organs are protected by blood-organ barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier or the maternal-fetal barrier. In contrast to neurotransmitters and receptor-coupled transporters or other modes of interneuronal transmission, drug transporters are not directly involved in specific neuronal functions, but provide global protection to the central nervous system. The lack of capillary fenestration, the low pinocytic activity and the tight junctions between brain capillary and choroid plexus endothelial cells represent further gatekeepers limiting the entrance of endogenous and exogenous compounds into the central nervous system. Drug transport is a result of the concerted action of efflux and influx pumps (transporters) located both in the basolateral and apical membranes of brain capillary and choroid plexus endothelial cells. By regulating efflux and influx of endogenous or exogenous substances, the blood-brain barrier and, to a lesser extent the blood-cerebrospinal barrier in the ventricles, represents the main interface between the central nervous system and the blood, i.e., the rest of the body. As drug distribution to organs is dependent on the affinity of a substrate for a specific transport system, membrane transporter proteins are increasingly recognized as a key determinant of drug disposition. Many drug transporters are members of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily or the solute-linked carrier (SLC) class. The multidrug resistance protein MDR1 (ABCB1), also called P-glycoprotein, the multidrug resistance-associated proteins MRP1 (ABCC1) and MRP2 (ABCC2), and the breast cancer-resistance protein BCRP (ABCG2) are ATP-dependent efflux transporters expressed in the blood-brain barrier They belong to the superfamily of ABC transporters, which export drugs from the intracellular to the extracellular milieu. Members of the SLC class of solute carriers include, for example, organic ion transporting peptides, organic cation transporters, and organic ion transporters. They are ATP-independent polypeptides principally expressed at the basolateral membrane of brain capillary and choroid plexus endothelial cells that also mediate drug transport through central nervous system barriers.
