A total of 87 lung cancer surgical tissue samples, including previously untreated 84 non-small-cell (NSCLC) and three small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), were analyzed for levels of MDR1 mRNA determined by Northern blotting and compared with MDR1-positive cell lines.
After cytological confirmation of lung cancer type, total RNA was extracted from biopsy samples and reverse transcribed to cDNA, and real-time PCR for the genes of interest [P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), lung resistance protein (LRP) and topoisomerase IIα (TOPIIα)], was performed.
Combined therapy of multidrug-resistant human lung cancer with anti-P-glycoprotein antibody and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 gene transduction: the possibility of immunological overcoming of multidrug resistance.
Compared with the wild adenosine/adenosine (A/A) genotype, the variant rs3842 genotype (adenosine/guanosine [A/G] + G/G) of ABCB1 was associated with a statistically significant increased risk of developing lung cancer (odds ratio [OR].
Drug accumulation was measured in a human ABCB1 gene-transfected mouse lymphoma cell line and in a human lung cancer cell line by flow cytometry; furthermore, their anticancer effects were determined in mice in vivo.
Drug resistance to paclitaxel is not only associated with ABCB1 mRNA expression but also with drug accumulation in intracellular compartments in human lung cancer cell lines.
Examining ways of controlling human lung cancer metastases, we investigated the antimetastatic effect of chimeric monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against P-glycoprotein and ganglioside GM2 (MH162 and KM966, respectively).
Here, we demonstrate upregulation of multidrug transporters ABCB1 and ABCG2 as a major mode of resistance to THZ1, a covalent inhibitor of CDKs 7, 12, and 13 in neuroblastoma and lung cancer.
Heterozygote carriers of SNPs in CYP1A2 1545T>C, -164C>A and -740T>G; CYP2A6 -47A>C; MDR1 3435T>C; NAT1 1088T>A and 1095A>C; GSTA2 S112T; GSTM3 V224I and MTHFR A222V had altered risk of developing lung cancer.
In this review we will re-evaluate the MDR-1 story in light of our new understanding of molecular targeted therapy, using breast and lung cancer as examples.
In this study, we used immunohistochemical (IHC) staining to detect YB-1 expression in 59 lung cancer tissues and to evaluate whether YB-1 expression was associated with the expression of YB-1 target genes such as Topo IIalpha, PCNA and MDR1 in human lung carcinoma.
Increased expression of MDR1, MRP5 and SMRP mRNA was observed 48 hr after the initiation of Adriamycin exposure in human lung cancer PC-14 cells and cisplatin-resistant PC-14/CDDP cells, in a dose-dependent manner as measured by TaqMan real-time RT-PCR.
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 gene modification of multidrug-resistant human lung cancer enhances antimetastatic effect of therapy with anti-P-glycoprotein antibody in SCID mice.
Multidrug resistance protein overexpression in in vitro-selected MDR cell lines occurs relatively frequently in lung cancer and leukemia cell lines and often precedes Pgp overexpression.
No significant difference was found between the adverse reactions of <i>OPRM1</i> and ABCB1 genotypes in patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer (<i>P</i>>0.05).
Non-P-glycoprotein mediated mechanism for multidrug resistance precedes P-glycoprotein expression during in vitro selection for doxorubicin resistance in a human lung cancer cell line.
Our data showed that the risk for lung cancer increased significantly among the variant rs1799782" genes_norm="7515">Arg194Trp (C > T, rs1799782) and Arg399Gln (G > A, rs25487) of XRCC1, but there are no significant differences in the allelic and genotypic frequencies of c.1564A > T and c.3073A > C of MDR1 between lung cancer patients and cancer-free controls.
Our results not only provide insight into potential use of PN in reversing P-gp mediated MDR to facilitate lung cancer chemotherapy, but also highlight a potential role of HSP70 in the development of drug resistance.
