The cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme and the ABC-transporters may affect the first-pass extraction and bioavailability of drugs and metabolites. Conflicting reports can be found in the literature on the expression levels of efflux transporters in human intestine and how they vary along the intestine. The relative levels of mRNA and protein of CYP3A4 and the ABC tranporters Pgp (ABCB1), MRP1 (ABCC1), and MRP2 (ABCC2) were determined using RT-PCR and Western blot for human intestinal tissues (n = 14) from jejunum, ileum and colon. The expression of mRNA for CYP3A4, Pgp, and MRP2 was highest in jejunum and decreased toward more distal regions, whereas MRP1 was equally distributed in all intestinal regions. For CYP3A4, a more significant correlation could be established between mRNA and protein expression than for the ABC transporters. The samples showed considerable interindividual variability, especially at the protein level. The apically located Pgp and MRP2 showed a similar expression pattern along the human intestine as for CYP3A4. The gene expression of MRP1 exhibited a more uniform distribution.

Despite advances in treatment, asthma continues to be a significant health and economic burden. Although asthma cannot be cured, several drugs, including beta2 agonists, corticosteroids, and leukotriene (LT) modifiers, are well tolerated and effective in minimizing symptoms, improving lung function, and preventing exacerbations. However, inter-patient variability in response to asthma drugs limits their effectiveness. It has been estimated that 60-80% of this inter-patient variability may be attributable to genetic variation. LT modifiers, in particular, have been associated with heterogeneity in response. These drugs exert their action by inhibiting the activity of cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs), which are potent bronchoconstrictors and pro-inflammatory agents. Two classes of LT modifiers are 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) inhibitors (zileuton) and leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) [montelukast, pranlukast, and zarfirlukast]. LT modifiers can be used as alternatives to low-dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in mild persistent asthma, as add-on therapy to low- to medium-dose ICS in moderate persistent asthma, and as add-on to high-dose ICS and a long-acting ss2 agonist in severe persistent asthma. At least six genes encode key proteins in the LT pathway: arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5), ALOX5 activating protein (ALOX5AP [FLAP]), leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H), LTC4 synthase (LTC4S), the ATP-binding cassette family member ABCC1 (multidrug resistance protein 1 [MRP1]), and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1). Studies have reported that genetic variation in ALOX5, LTA4H, LTC4S, and ABCC1 influences response to LT modifiers. Plasma concentrations of LTRAs vary considerably among patients. Physio-chemical characteristics make it likely that membrane efflux and uptake transporters mediate the absorption of LTRAs into the systemic circulation following oral administration. Genes that encode efflux and uptake transport proteins harbor many variants that could influence the pharmacokinetics, and particularly the bioavailability, of LTRAs, and could contribute to heterogeneity in response. In the future, large, well designed clinical trials studying the pharmacogenetics of LT modifiers in diverse populations are warranted to determine whether a genetic signature can be developed that will accurately predict which patients will respond.

The presence of human multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) in the human erythrocyte membrane is well established. In the present study, flow cytometric monitoring is introduced to identify MRP1 as the main transporter of 2',7'-bis-(3-carboxypropyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCPCF) in the erythrocyte membrane and to facilitate inhibition and kinetic studies of MRP1-mediated transport. The ATP-dependent transport of BCPCF into human erythrocyte inside-out vesicles and, for comparison, into MRP1-expressing Sf9 cell membrane inside-out vesicles were studied. The MRP1-specific monoclonal antibody, QCRL-3 and the MRP1 inhibitor, MK-571 strongly decreased the uptake of BCPCF into both erythrocyte and MRP1-expressing Sf9 cell membrane inside-out vesicles. The inhibition profiles of cyclosporin A, verapamil, benzbromarone, and probenecid in erythrocyte membrane vesicles were typical for MRP1-mediated transport. Furthermore, kinetic constants K(m) and V(max) of BCPCF transport into erythrocyte membrane inside-out vesicles were determined in the absence and in the presence of selected inhibitors (MK-571, cyclosporin A, benzbromarone and verapamil). The presented results identified MRP1 as the major transporter of BCPCF in the human erythrocyte membrane and showed for the first time that the active transport of fluorescent substrate into inside-out vesicles can be monitored by flow cytometry.

Cigarette smoke is the principal risk factor for development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) is a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transporters, which transport physiologic and toxic substrates across cell membranes. MRP1 is highly expressed in lung epithelium. This study aims to analyze the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on MRP1 activity. In the human bronchial epithelial cell line 16HBE14o-, MRP1 function was studied flow cytometrically by cellular retention of carboxyfluorescein (CF) after CSE incubation and MRP1 downregulation by RNA interference (siRNA). Cell survival was measured by the MTT assay. Immunocytochemically, it was shown that 16HBE14o(-) expressed MRP1 and breast cancer resistance protein. Coincubation of CSE IC50 (1.53% +/- 0.22%) with MK571 further decreased cell survival 31% (p, = 0.018). CSE increased cellular CF retention dose dependently from 1.7-fold at 5% CSE to 10.3-fold at 40% CSE (both p < 0.05). siRNA reduced MRP1 RNA expression with 49% and increased CF accumulation 67% versus control transfected cells. CSE exposure further increased CF retention 24% (p = 0.031). A linear positive relation between MRP1 function and CSE-modulating effects (r = 0.99, p =0.089) was shown in untransfected, control transfected, and MRP1 downregulated 16HBE14o- cells analogous to blocking effects with MRP1 inhibitor MK571 (r = 0.99, p = 0.034). In conclusion, cigarette smoke extract affects MRP1 activity probably competitively in bronchial epithelial cells. Inhibition of MRP1 in turn results in higher CSE toxicity. We propose that MRP1 may be a protective protein for COPD development.

Multidrug resistance due to reduced drug accumulation is a phenomenon predominantly caused by the overexpression of members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, including ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein), ABCG2, and several ABCC family members [multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)]. We previously reported that a thiosemicarbazone derivative, NSC73306, is cytotoxic to carcinoma cells that overexpress functional P-glycoprotein, and it resensitizes these cells to chemotherapeutics. In this study, we investigated the effect of NSC73306 on cells overexpressing other ABC drug transporters, including ABCG2, MRP1, MRP4, and MRP5. Our findings showed that NSC73306 is not more toxic to cells that overexpress these transporters compared with their respective parental cells, and these transporters do not confer resistance to NSC73306 either. In spite of this, we observed that NSC73306 is a transport substrate for ABCG2 that can effectively inhibit ABCG2-mediated drug transport and reverse resistance to both mitoxantrone and topotecan in ABCG2-expressing cells. Interactions between NSC73306 and the ABCG2 drug-binding site(s) were confirmed by its stimulatory effect on ATPase activity (140-150 nmol/L concentration required for 50% stimulation) and by inhibition of [(125)I]iodoarylazidoprazosin photolabeling (50% inhibition at 250-400 nmol/L) of the substrate-binding site(s). Overall, NSC73306 seems to be a potent modulator of ABCG2 that does not interact with MRP1, MRP4, or MRP5. Collectively, these data suggest that NSC73306 can potentially be used, due to its dual mode of action, as an effective agent to overcome drug resistance by eliminating P-glycoprotein-overexpressing cells and by acting as a potent modulator that resensitizes ABCG2-expressing cancer cells to chemotherapeutics.

Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) is an ATP-dependent polytopic membrane protein that transports many anticancer drugs and organic anions. Its transport mechanism is multifaceted, especially with respect to the participation of GSH. For example, vincristine is cotransported with GSH, estrone sulfate transport is stimulated by GSH, or MRP1 can transport GSH alone, and this can be stimulated by compounds such as verapamil or apigenin. Thus, the interactions between GSH and MRP1 are mechanistically complex. To examine the similarities and differences among the various GSH-associated mechanisms of MRP1 transport, we have measured first the effect of GSH and several GSH-associated substrates/modulators on the binding and hydrolysis of ATP by MRP1 using 8-azidoadenosine-5'-[(32)P]-triphosphate ([(32)P]azidoATP) analogs, and second the initial binding of GSH and GSH-associated substrates/modulators to MRP1. We observed that GSH or its nonreducing derivative S-methylGSH (S-mGSH), but none of the GSH-associated substrate/modulators, caused a significant increase in [gamma-(32)P]azidoATP labeling of MRP1. Moreover, GSH and S-mGSH decreased levels of orthovanadate-induced trapping of [alpha-(32)P]azidoADP. [alpha-(32)P]azidoADP.Vi trapping was also decreased by estone sulfate, whereas vincristine, verapamil, and apigenin had no apparent effects on nucleotide interactions with MRP1. Furthermore, estrone sulfate and S-mGSH enhanced the effect of each other 15- and 10-fold, respectively. Second, although GSH binding increased the apparent affinity of MRP1 for all GSH-associated substrates/modulators tested, only estrone sulfate had a reciprocal effect on the apparent affinity of MRP1 for GSH. Overall, these results indicate significant mechanistic differences between MRP1-mediated transport of GSH and the ability of GSH to modulate MRP1 transport.

Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) is a cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT) export pump expressed on mast cells. CysLTs are crucial mediators in allergic airway disease. However, biological significance of MRP1 in allergic airway inflammation has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we sensitized wild-type control mice (mrp1(+/+)) and MRP1-deficient mice (mrp1(-/-)) to ovalbumin (OVA) and challenged them with OVA by aerosol. Airway inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia after OVA exposure were reduced in mrp1(-/-) mice compared with mrp1(+/+) mice. Furthermore, CysLT levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from OVA-exposed mrp1(-/-) mice were significantly lower than those from OVA-exposed mrp1(+/+) mice. Levels of OVA-specific IgE, IL-4, and IL-13 in BALF were also decreased in OVA-exposed mrp1(-/-) mice. IgE-mediated release of CysLTs from murine bone marrow-derived mast cells was markedly impaired by MRP1 deficiency. Our results indicate that MRP1 plays an important role in the development of allergic airway inflammation through regulation of IgE-mediated CysLT export from mast cells.

Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (Mrp1; Abcc1) is expressed in sarcolemma of murine heart, where it probably protects the cardiomyocyte by mediating efflux of endo- and xenobiotics. We used doxorubicin (DOX), a chemotherapeutic drug known to induce oxidative stress and thereby cardiac injury, as a model cardiotoxic compound and observed changes in the Mrp1 expression pattern in cardiac tissue of DOX-versus saline-treated mice. Confocal immunofluorescent and immunogold electron microscopy, together with subcellular fractionation followed by immunoblot analyses and transport measurements, localized functional Mrp1 to mitochondria after DOX. Expressions of Mrp1 in heart homogenate, sarcolemma, and submitochondrial particles (SMP) were increased 1.6-, 2-, and 3-fold, respectively, at 24 h after DOX. Mitochondrial Mrp1 expression was markedly increased 72 h after DOX, whereas transport of Mrp1 substrates in SMP was maximal at 24 h. ATP-dependent transport in SMP occurred into an osmotically sensitive space and was inhibited by the anti-MRP1 antibody QCRL3. Adduction of a 190-kDa protein with the reactive lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) was detected in SMP and was maximal at 72 h after DOX; immunoprecipitation confirmed Mrp1-HNE adduction. In vitro, HNE (10 muM) inhibited mitochondrial respiration and transport activity in SMP, suggesting that Mrp1 is adversely affected by oxidative stress. These data demonstrate that after DOX, functional Mrp1 is detected in mitochondria in addition to that in sarcolemma; however, adduction with HNE inhibits Mrp1 activity. Mrp1 may serve to protect the heart by mediating the efflux of toxic products of oxidative stress from mitochondria and cardiomyocytes.

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.

EGFR mutations have been correlated to responsiveness to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These drugs are themselves substrates for ABC transporters. In the present work we describe the immunohistochemical profile of an archival sample from a male Brazilian patient with no Asian ancestry and never smoker, diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. This tumor was found to contain an in-frame hemi- or homozygous deletion, E746-A750 in exon 19 of the EGFR gene. Immunohistochemistry revealed a relatively weak staining for the ABC transporter subfamily ABCC1 and strongly for ABCB1. The cytoplasm stained positively for Bax and the nucleus stained for p53, but was negative for Bcl-2. Antibody against acetylated lysine revealed staining in both, cytoplasm and nucleus of tumor cells in contrast to normal cells which were essentially negative. The overall immunohistochemistry pattern obtained for this sample indicates that the del E746-A750 mutation may have down-regulated the expression of ABCC1. The results also suggest that the NSCLC analyzed displayed a transcriptionally active chromatin as judged by the results obtained with the anti-acetylated lysine antibody.
