Remarkable advances have been made in cancer chemotherapy by developing new anticancer drugs and pharmacogenomics strategies. However, multidrug resistance in human cancers is the major obstacle to long-term, sustained patient response to chemotherapy. Several ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters cause multidrug resistance in cancer cells by actively extruding the clinically administered chemotherapeutic drugs. P-glycoprotein (ABCB1/MDR1/P-gp) and MRP1 (ABCC1/GS-X pump) have been well characterized in terms of their molecular structure and function. In addition, ABCG2/breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is the most recently identified/ABC transporter, and is also reportedly associated with cellular resistance against chemotherapeutic agents, such as DNA topoisomerase I, II inhibitor. It is important to note that these ABC transporters are expressed not only in cancer cells but also in normal tissues to play a pivotal role in the absorption, distribution, and excretion of endogenous substances as well as xenobiotics. ABC transporters are key factors that can affect the pharmacokinetic profiles of drugs. Recent studies have revealed that many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reside in these ABC transporter genes. Functional analysis of the genetic polymorphism of ABC transporters would greatly contribute to our understanding of individual differences in the drug response and also to the development of personalized medicine in the near future.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1) and the multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (Mrp1, ABCC1) are two ATP-driven pumps that mediate the export of organic anions from cells and may confer cellular resistance to many cytotoxic hydrophobic drugs. Immunohistochemistry has shown that P-gp is expressed in rat brain capillary vessels forming the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Mrp1 mRNAs have been detected by RT-PCR in rat brain isolated capillaries. Although many studies have been published in this field, very little information is available on the expression, distribution and physiological functions of the two pumps in rat brain. To characterize the cerebral expression of both P-gp and Mrp1 transporters, we studied immunoreactions of rat brain sections with the two most commonly used antibodies: the monoclonal C219 (anti-P-gp) and the polyclonal 6KQ (anti-Mrp1). Immunological analyses revealed heterogeneity of the P-gp and Mrp1 expressions in rat brain. Indeed, choroidal and ependymal cells expressed Mrp1 rather than P-gp. However, tanycytes lining the third ventricle were strongly immunoreactive with both antibodies, suggesting a particular role for these cells in drug efflux mechanisms. Because of the detection of a 70-kDa component with 6KQ antibodies, immunoreactions obtained in rats were compared with these obtained in wild type and mrp1(-/-) mice. It showed that a positive reaction at the apical surface of the ependymal layer remained obvious, showing that 6KQ antibodies recognize an ependymal molecule, differing from the Mrp1. In addition, a continuous expression of C219-labeled epitopes, similar to endothelial labeling, was detected at the blood-brain barrier, whereas a discontinuous labeling, co-localized with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunostaining, was obtained with 6KQ antibodies. We showed that P-gp was preferentially expressed in the endothelial component and Mrp1 in the astroglial component of the blood-brain barrier. Moreover, Mrp1 was rather expressed than P-gp in parenchyma astrocytes and in glia limitans lining the meninges. These findings provide new insights into the cerebral distribution of two ABC transporters linked to multidrug resistance (MDR).

Resistance to mitoxantrone is often associated with enhanced drug efflux mediated by members of the superfamily of adenosinetriphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, i.e. MDR1/P-gp (ABCB1), MRP1 (ABCC1), or BCRP (ABCG2). So far it is unclear whether the same ABC-transporter is always activated from the beginning of mitoxantrone treatment to the end of drug exposure. Here, we demonstrate that the expression of all three extrusion pumps is induced by increasing levels of mitoxantrone resistance, but in the end, merely the overexpression of a dominant single drug transporter, i.e. Mdr1/P-gp, is realized. This upregulation of Mdr1/P-gp was reflected by amplification of the Mdr1/P-gp encoding gene. Short mitoxantrone exposure demonstrated that upregulation of two different transporters, Mdr1/P-gp and Bcrp, was induced. The data indicate that mitoxantrone treatment influences the expression of several ABC-transporters, but in the end, merely a single extrusion pump will be dominant.

Multidrug resistance protein, also referred as P-glycoprotein (P-gp, MDR1; ABCB1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 1 (ABCC1) and 2 (ABCC2) are, thus far, candidates to cause antiepileptic drug (AED) resistance epilepsy. In this study, we investigated P-gp, MRP1 and MRP2 expression, localization and functional activity on cryosections and isolated human brain-derived microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) from epileptic patients (HBMEC-EPI) with hippocampal sclerosis (HS), as compared with HBMEC isolated from normal brain cortex (HBMEC-CTR). We examined the expression and distribution of three transporters, P-gp, MRP1 and MRP2 on two major parts of the resected tissue, the hippocampus and the parahippocampal gyrus (Gph). P-gp showed diffuse expression not only in endothelium but also by parenchymal cells in both the hippocampus and the Gph. MRP1 labeling was observed in parenchymal cells in the Gph. By contrast, MRP2 was mainly found in endothelium of the hippocampus. P-gp and MRP1 expression in the Gph was relatively high in the patient with long-term seizure history. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of HBMEC revealed that MDR1, MRP1 as well as MRP5 (ABCC5) and MRP6 (ABCC6) were overexpressed in HBMEC-EPI at the mRNA level. HBMEC from both normal and epilepsy groups displayed protein expression of P-gp, whereas MRP1 and MRP2 were seen only in HBMEC-EPI. Accordingly, it is of particular interest that MRP functional activities were observed in HBMEC-EPI, but not in HBMEC-CTR. Our results suggest that complex MDR expression changes not only in the hippocampus but in the Gph may play a role in AED pharmacoresistance in intractable epilepsy patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) by altering the permeability of AEDs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Interindividual differences of drug response are an important cause of treatment failures and adverse drug reactions. The identification of polymorphisms explaining distinct phenotypes of drug metabolizing enzymes contributed in part to the understanding of individual variations of drug plasma levels. However, bioavailability also depends on a major extent from the expression and activity of drug transport across biomembranes. In particular efflux transporters of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family such as ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein, P-gp), the ABCC (multidrug resistance-related protein, MRP) family and ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein, BCRP) have been identified as major determinants of chemoresistance in tumor cells. They are expressed in the apical membranes of many barrier tissue such as the intestine, liver, blood-brain barrier, kidney, placenta, testis and in lymphocytes, thus contributing to plasma, liquor, but also intracellular drug disposition. Since expression and function exhibit a broad variability, it was hypothesized that hereditary variances in the genes of membrane transporters could explain at least in part interindividual differences of pharmacokinetics and clinical outcome of a variety of drugs. This review focuses on the functional significance of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, and ABCG2 in in vitro systems, in vivo tissues and drug disposition, as well as on the clinical outcome of major indications.

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.

Over a million new cases of cancers are diagnosed each year in the United States and over half of these patients die from these devastating diseases. Thus, cancers cause a major public health problem in the United States and worldwide. Chemotherapy remains the principal mode to treat many metastatic cancers. However, occurrence of cellular multidrug resistance (MDR) prevents efficient killing of cancer cells, leading to chemotherapeutic treatment failure. Numerous mechanisms of MDR exist in cancer cells, such as intrinsic or acquired MDR. Overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp or ABCB1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP or ABCG2) and/or multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1 or ABCC1), confers an acquired MDR due to their capabilities of transporting a broad range of chemically diverse anticancer drugs. In addition to their roles in MDR, there is substantial evidence suggesting that these drug transporters have functions in tissue defense. Basically, these drug transporters are expressed in tissues important for absorption, such as in lung and gut, and for metabolism and elimination, such as in liver and kidney. In addition, these drug transporters play an important role in maintaining the barrier function of many tissues including blood-brain barrier, blood-cerebral spinal fluid barrier, blood-testis barrier and the maternal-fetal barrier. Thus, these ATP-dependent drug transporters play an important role in the absorption, disposition and elimination of the structurally diverse array of the endobiotics and xenobiotics. In this review, the molecular mechanism of ATP-dependent solute transport by MRP1 will be addressed.

Here we investigated the roles of DARPP-32 in multidrug resistance (MDR) of gastric cancer cells and the possible underlying mechanisms. We constructed the eukaryotic expression vector of DARPP-32 and transfected it into human vincristine-resistant gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901/VCR. Up-regulation of DARPP-32 could significantly enhance the sensitivity of SGC7901/VCR cells towards vincristine, adriamycin, 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin, and could decrease the capacity of cells to efflux adriamycin. What's more, the results of subrenal capsule assay confirmed that DARPP-32 might play a certain role in MDR of gastric cancer. DARPP-32 could significantly down-regulate the expression of P-gp and zinc ribbon domain-containing 1 (ZNRD1), but not alter the expression of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) or the glutathione S-transferase (GST). DARPP-32 could also significantly decrease the anti-apoptotic activity of SGC7901/VCR cells. Further study of the biological functions of DARPP-32 might be helpful for understanding the mechanisms of MDR in gastric cancer.

Many tumour cells become resistant to commonly used cytotoxic drugs due to the overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Two proteins, P-gp (MDR-1, ABCB1) and MRP-1 (ABCC1) have been demonstrated to pump a wide selection of the most commonly used cancer drugs and their overexpression correlates broadly with negative treatment response characteristics in many different forms of cancer. Several generations of pharmaceutical inhibitors of P-gp have been examined in preclinical and clinical studies; however, these circumvention trials have largely failed to demonstrate the anticipated increase in therapeutic efficacy. In vitro screening has identified a number of pharmaceuticals which can selectively inhibit pumps such as P-gp, or MRP-1, by virtue of their being substrates for these pumps. The use of low toxicity pharmaceuticals or agents which have anticancer properties as ABC transporter inhibitors may allow a new paradigm of clinically useful drug resistance circumvention. Our increasing understanding of the complex pharmacological interplay of drug transporter proteins indicates that the cellular pharmacokinetics of cancer drug entry into and exit from tumour cells is of prime importance in subsequent drug efficacy and a larger portfolio of pump modulators and targeted efflux inhibition strategies is necessary to effectively overcome multiple drug resistance.

Although many of the clinically significant drug interactions of the anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors (PIs) can be explained by their propensity to inactivate CYP3A enzymes, paradoxically these drugs cause (or lack) interactions with CYP3A substrates that cannot be explained by this mechanism (e.g., alprazolam). To better understand these paradoxical interactions (or lack thereof), we determined the cytochromes P450 and transporters induced by various concentrations (0-25 microM) of two PIs, ritonavir and nelfinavir, and rifampin (positive control) in primary human hepatocytes. At 10 microM, ritonavir and nelfinavir suppressed CYP3A4 activity but induced its transcripts and protein expression (19- and 12- and 12- and 6-fold, respectively; a >2-fold change over control was interpreted as induction). At 10 microM, rifampin induced CYP3A4 transcripts, CYP3A protein, and activity by 23-, 12-, and 13-fold, respectively. The induction by rifampin of CYP3A activity was significantly correlated with its induction of CYP3A4 transcripts (r = 0.96, p < 0.05) and CYP3A protein (r = 0.89, p < 0.05). All three drugs (10 microM) induced CYP2B6 activity by 2- to 4-fold, CYP2C8 and 2C9 activity by 2- to 4-fold and the transcripts of CYP2B6, 2C8, and 2C9 by >3-, 5-, and 3-fold, respectively. CYP2C19 and 1A2 activity and transcripts were modestly induced (2-fold), whereas, as expected, CYP2D6 was not induced by any of the drugs. Of the transporters studied, protease inhibitors moderately induced multidrug resistance 1 (ABCB1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (ABCC1) transcripts but had no or minimal effect on the transcripts of breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2), organic anion-transporting peptide (OATP) 1B1 (SLCO1B1), or OATP1B3 (SLCO1B3). On the basis of these data, we concluded that many of the paradoxical drug interactions (or lack thereof) with the PIs are metabolismrather than transporter-based and are due to induction of CYP2B6 and 2C enzymes.
