The tyrphostin 4-(3-chloroanilino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (AG1478) is a potent and specific EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI); its promising pre-clinical results have led to clinical trials. Overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters such as ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2 is one of the main causes of multidrug resistance (MDR) and usually results in the failure of cancer chemotherapy. However, the interaction of AG1478 with these ABC transporters is still unclear. In the present study, we have investigated this interaction and found that AG1478 has differential effects on these transporters. In ABCB1-overexpressing cells, non-toxic doses of AG1478 were found to partially inhibit resistance to ABCB1 substrate anticancer drugs as well as increase intracellular accumulation of [3H]-paclitaxel. Similarly, in ABCG2-overexpressing cells, AG1478 significantly reversed resistance to ABCG2 substrate anticancer drugs and increased intracellular accumulation of [3H]-mitoxantrone as well as fluorescent compound BODIPY-prazosin. AG1478 also profoundly inhibited the transport of [3H]-E(2)17betaG and [3H]-methotrexate by ABCG2. We also found that AG1478 slightly stimulated ABCB1 ATPase activity and significantly stimulated ABCG2 ATPase activity. Interestingly, AG1478 did not inhibit the photolabeling of ABCB1 or ABCG2 with [125I]-iodoarylazidoprazosin. Additionally, AG1478 did not alter the sensitivity of parental, ABCB1- or ABCG2-overexpressing cells to non-ABCB1 and non-ABCG2 substrate drug and had no effect on the function of ABCC1. Overall, we conclude that AG1478 is able to inhibit the function of ABCB1 and ABCG2, with a more pronounced effect on ABCG2. Our findings provide valuable contributions to the development of safer and more effective EGFR TKIs for use as anticancer agents in the clinic.

The non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells SK-LC6 and NCI-H23 were continuously exposed to vinorelbine (VNB), and the VNB-resistant clones, SK-LC6/VNB and H23/VNB were selected. Since SK-LS6/VNB and H23/VNB cells showed cross-resistance to certain anticancer drugs, such as paclitaxel and docetaxel, we examined the gene expression levels of drug efflux transporters of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family. We found that the gene expression of ABCB1/MDR1 and ABCC10/MRP7 in SK-LC6/VNB and H23/VNB cells was increased compared with that in SK-LS6 and NCI-H23 cells, whereas the expression of ABCC1/MRP1, ABCC2/MRP2, ABCC3/MRP3 and ABCG2/BCRP did not change among these cells. Treatment with ABCB1/MDR1 inhibitor verapamil and ABCC10/MRP7 inhibitor sulfin-pyrazone altered the sensitivity of SK-LC6/VNB cells to vinorelbine. To confirm the ABCC10/MRP7 activity, we transfected small interfering RNA against ABCC10/MRP7 to ABCC10/MRP7-expressing RERF-LC-AI cells resulting in the decrease of ABCC10/MRP7 expression concomitant with the alteration of VNB cytotoxicity. Moreover, we detected the expression of ABCC10/MRP7 in 12 of 17 NSCLC cells, whereas ABCB1/MDR1 was detected in only 3 of 17 NSCLC cells. These results indicate that ABCC10/MRP7 may confer VNB resistance in NSCLC.

HhAntag691 (GDC-0449), a low-molecular weight inhibitor of the tumor-promoting hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, has been used to treat medulloblastoma in animal models and has recently entered clinical trials for a variety of solid tumors. Here, we show that HhAntag691 inhibits multiple ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ATP-binding cassette transporters are within a family of membrane proteins, the overexpression of which is associated with multidrug resistance, a major impediment to successful cancer treatment. HhAntag691 is a potent inhibitor of two ABC transporters, ABCG2/BCRP and ABCB1/Pgp, and is a mild inhibitor of ABCC1/MRP1. In ABCG2-overexpressing HEK293 cells, HhAntag691 increased retention of the fluorescent ABCG2 substrate BODIPY-prazosin and resensitized these cells to mitoxantrone, an antineoplastic ABCG2 substrate. In Madin-Darby canine kidney II cells engineered to overexpress Pgp or MRP1, HhAntag691 increased the retention of calcein-AM and resensitized them to colchicine. HhAntag691 also resensitized human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells NCI-H460/par and NCI-H460/MX20, which overexpress ABCG2 in response to mitoxantrone, to mitoxantrone, and to topotecan or SN-38. The IC(50) values of HhAntag691 for inhibition of ABCG2 and Pgp were approximately 1.4 and approximately 3.0 microM, respectively. Because ABC transporters are highly expressed at the blood-brain barrier and on many tumor cells, they contribute significantly to treatment failure of many types of cancer, particularly of those within the neuraxis. In addition to its effect on Hh signaling, the ability of HhAntag691 and related compounds to inhibit two key ABC transporters could contribute to their effectiveness in treating malignancies.

The vacuoles of pea (Pisum sativum) leaves and red beet (Beta vulgaris) storage root are major sites for the intracellular compartmentation of folates. In the light of these findings and preliminary experiments indicating that some plant multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) subfamily ATP-binding cassette transporters are able to transport compounds of this type, the Arabidopsis thaliana vacuolar MRP, AtMRP1 (AtABCC1), and its functional equivalent(s) in vacuolar membrane vesicles purified from red beet storage root were studied. In so doing, it has been determined that heterologously expressed AtMRP1 and its equivalents in red beet vacuolar membranes are not only competent in the transport of glutathione conjugates but also folate monoglutamates and antifolates as exemplified by pteroyl-l-glutamic acid and methotrexate (MTX), respectively. In agreement with the results of these in vitro transport measurements, analyses of atmrp1 T-DNA insertion mutants of Arabidopsis ecotypes Wassilewskia and Columbia disclose an MTX-hypersensitive phenotype. atmrp1 knock-out mutants are more sensitive than wild-type plants to growth retardation by nanomolar concentrations of MTX, and this is associated with impaired vacuolar antifolate sequestration. The vacuoles of protoplasts isolated from the leaves of Wassilewskia atmrp1 mutants accumulate 50% less [(3)H]MTX than the vacuoles of protoplasts from wild-type plants when incubated in media containing nanomolar concentrations of this antifolate, and vacuolar membrane-enriched vesicles purified from the mutant catalyze MgATP-dependent [(3)H]MTX uptake at only 40% of the capacity of the equivalent membrane fraction from wild-type plants. AtMRP1 and its counterparts in other plant species therefore have the potential for participating in the vacuolar accumulation of folates and related compounds.

Chemotherapy failure was reported in treatment of retinoblastoma suggesting a role for ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins. Little is known about the expression pattern of ABC proteins in this cancer type. We investigated the gene expression profile of 47 ABC proteins in the human retinoblastoma cell line Y79 by TaqMan low-density array. Analysis revealed 31 ABC transporter genes expressed in this tumor cell line. Y79 cells demonstrate high gene expression of ABCA7, ABCA12, ABCB7, ABCB10, ABCC1, ABCC4, ABCD3, ABCE1, ABCF1, ABCF2, and ABCF3 (more than twofold compared to pooled RNA from different tissues). Moreover, we show that Y79 cells exhibit an active calcein efflux pointing to multidrug resistance protein (MRP)-like transporter activity. In summary, we present for the first time an ABC transporter gene expression profile in cells derived from retinoblastoma. Most of the highly expressed ABC transporter genes are typical markers of cancer cells and might exhibit potential targets for medical treatment of retinoblastoma.

Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters modulate the transport and metabolism of both endogenous and exogenous substrates and could play crucial roles in the human brain. In this study, we report the transcript expression profile of seven ABC transporters (ABCB1, ABCC1-C5, and ABCG2), 24 P450s (CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 families and CYP46A1), and 14 related transcription factors [aryl hydrocarbon receptor, nuclear receptor (NR)1I2/pregnane X receptor, NR1I3/constitutive androstane receptor and NR1C/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, NR1H/liver X receptor, NR2B/retinoid X receptor, and NR3A/estrogen receptor subfamilies] in the whole brain, the dura mater, and 17 different encephalic areas. In addition, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry analysis were used to characterize the distribution of the P450s at the cellular and subcellular levels in some brain regions. Our results show the presence of a large variety of xenobiotic transporters and metabolizing enzymes in human brain and show for the first time their apparent selective distribution in different cerebral regions. The most abundant transporters were ABCC5 and ABCG2, which, interestingly, had a higher mRNA expression in the brain compared with that found in the liver. CYP46A1, CYP2J2, CYP2U1, CYP1B1, CYP2E1, and CYP2D6 represented more than 90% of the total P450 and showed selective distribution in different brain regions. Their presence in both microsomal and mitochondrial fractions was shown both in neuronal and glial cells in several brain areas. Thus, our study shows key enzymes of cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism to be present in the human brain and provides novel information of importance for elucidation of enzymes responsible for normal and pathological processes in the human brain.

Glucocorticoids (GC) represent the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory skin diseases. However, the topical long-term therapy of GC is limited by the occurrence of skin atrophy. Most interestingly, although GC inhibit proliferation of human fibroblasts, they exert a pronounced anti-apoptopic action. In the present study, we further elucidated the molecular mechanism of the GC dexamethasone (Dex) to protect human fibroblasts from programmed cell death. Dex not only significantly alters the expression of the cytosolic isoenzyme sphingosine kinase 1 but also initiated an enhanced intracellular formation of the sphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). Investigations using S1P (3) ((-/-)) -fibroblasts revealed that this S1P-receptor subtype is essential for the Dex-induced cytoprotection. Moreover, we demonstrate that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-transporter ABCC1 is upregulated by Dex and may represent a crucial carrier to transport S1P from the cytosol to the S1P(3)-receptor subtype.

Dendritic cell (DC) migration to draining lymph nodes is important for the initiation of an effective immune response. Recently we reported that the human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4 and ABCC4) is required for the migration of human DC. Since the ABC transporter MRP1 (ABCC1) was previously shown to play a role in both human and mouse DC migration, we here studied whether Mrp4 is similarly required for DC migration in mice and whether the absence of Mrp4 interferes with the generation of an immune response. Immunological responses were compared in wild-type FVB (FVBwt), FVB Mrp4 knockout (KO) or FVB Mrp4/5 double knockout (dKO) mice. Skin, a preferred immunization site, was analyzed for DC markers, as well as for Mrp1 and Mrp4 expression. Whereas Mrp1 was abundantly present within FVBwt skin, only few Mrp4 expressing cells were detected. In addition, no Mrp4 protein expression was detected on in vitro cultured FVBwt bone marrow-derived DC (BM-DC). DC migration from murine ear skin was unaltered between FVBwt and MRP4/5 dKO animals. The absence of Mrp4 also had no effect on immune responses upon allergen sensitization, immunization or oral tolerance induction. We thus conclude that in contrast to its human counterpart, murine Mrp4 is not involved in DC migration, nor indeed, in the generation of an effective immune response. These data reveal disparities in the physiological role of ABC transporters between species, which may derive from differences in substrate specificity.

While P-glycoprotein (PGP, ABCB1) is known to play an important role in drug exclusion at the blood brain barrier (BBB), less is known about the contribution of other members in the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family to BBB drug efflux, or whether these transporters are expressed differently in humans and in mammalian species of pharmacological interest. We used quantitative real-time PCR to determine mRNA expression levels for the majority of ABC family members in brain and in isolated brain microvessel endothelial capillary cells (BMEC) from human, rat, mouse, pig and cow. We confirmed BBB expression of several well-characterized ABC family members that are implicated in xenobiotic exclusion from the brain, including ABCB1 (PGP), ABCG2 (BCRP), ABCC1 (MRP1), ABCC4 (MRP4), and ABCC5 (MRP5). In addition, we detected high expression and enrichment in BMEC of several less well-characterized ABC transporters in one or more species, including ABCA2-4, ABCB4, ABCB6-8, ABCB10, ABCC3, ABCC6, ABCC10, and ABCE1. We also uncovered species differences in the expression of a number of transporters, including ABCG2 and ABCC4. This study identifies several additional ABC family members that may contribute to xenobiotic efflux at the human BBB, and compares the expression of a broad array of efflux transporters between human and four other species relevant to pharmacological research.

Curcumin (CUR), a natural product of turmeric, from rhizomes of Curcuma longa, is a known agent of reversal of drug resistance phenotypes in cancer cells overexpressing ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, viz., ABCB1, ABCG2, and ABCC1. In the present study, we evaluated whether CUR could also modulate multidrug transporters of yeasts that belong either to the ABC family or to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS). The effect of CUR on multidrug transporter proteins was demonstrated by examining rhodamine 6G (R6G) efflux in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells overexpressing the Candida albicans ABC transporters Cdr1p and Cdr2p (CaCdr1p and CaCdr2p, respectively) and the MFS transporters CaMdr1p and S. cerevisiae Pdr5p. CUR decreased the extracellular concentration of R6G in ABC transporter-expressing cells but had no effect on methotrexate efflux mediated through the MFS transporter CaMdr1p. CUR competitively inhibited R6G efflux and the photolabeling of CaCdr1p by [(125)I]iodoarylazidoprazosin, a drug analogue of the substrate prazosin (50% inhibitory concentration, 14.2 microM). Notably, the mutant variants of CaCdr1p that displayed abrogated efflux of R6G also showed reduced modulation by CUR. Drug susceptibility testing of ABC protein-expressing cells by spot assays and checkerboard tests revealed that CUR was selectively synergistic with drug substrates such as R6G, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and miconazole but not with fluconazole, voriconazole, anisomycin, cycloheximide, or FK520. Taken together, our results provide the first evidence that CUR modulates only ABC multidrug transporters and could be exploited in combination with certain conventional antifungal drugs to reverse multidrug resistance in Candida cells.
