Two different MRP1 overexpressing cell lines were used, the doxorubicin-selected human lung cancer cell line H69 AR and the transfected Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cell line MDCK II MRP1.
These data suggest that NBT can sensitize ADR-induced cytotoxicity against A549/ADR cells by inhibiting MRP1 expression, indicating that NBT could serve as an effective adjuvant agent for ADR-based chemotherapy in lung cancer.
In conclusion, we have shown that a human revertant lung cancer cell line (COR-L23/Rev) has the ability to recover quickly, similar levels of MRP expression and resistance as COR-L23/R after a transient exposure to the MDR-drugs doxorubicin and vincristine.
To investigate the roles played by the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1) homologues MRP3 and MRP4 in resistance to platinum drugs, we examined steady-state levels of mRNA for both MRP3 and MRP4 in normal lung and lung cancer specimens as well as peripheral mononuclear cells (PMN) after platinum drug exposure.
Multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) mRNA expression and drug sensitivity in lung cancer cells were examined, and the effects of verapamil, a modulating agent for MRP, on drug sensitivity were also tested.
Using an RNase protection assay we have analyzed the expression of MRP in non-Pgp MDR sublines of the human lung cancer cell lines SW-1573 (non-small cell lung cancer) and GLC4 (small cell lung cancer).
Our results suggest that MRP may be implicated in drug resistance in unselected lung-cancer cell lines and its role in normal lung and primary lung cancer warrants further investigation in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
We reviewed characteristic resistance mechanisms in lung cancer including over-expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein and structural, functional or expression alterations of β-tubulin (βII, βIII, βIV) which may devote to the development of acquired resistance to the Vinca alkaloids; multidrug-resistance proteins (MRP1, MRP2, MRP3) and RLIP76 protein have also been identified that probably play a significant role in intrinsic resistance.
The genotyping analyses for 6 common regulatory variants (reference single-nucleotide polymorphism 4728709 [rs4728709] and rs2188524 in the 5' flanking region of ABCB1 and rs3842 in its 3' untranslated region; rs3743527, rs212090, and rs212091 in the 3' untranslated region of ABCC1) was conducted in a case-control study of 500 patients with incident lung cancer and 517 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population.
Using cell lines expressing high levels of endogenous MRP1 from three difficult to treat cancer types-lung cancer, ovarian cancer and high-risk neuroblastoma-we showed that the MRP1 modulator substantially lowered intracellular GSH levels as a single agent.
TCGA Pan-Cancer (PANCAN) showed that the expression of FENDRR was negatively correlated with the expression of ABCC10 in lung cancer, and our western blot found that FENDRR up-regulation inhibited the expression of ABCC10 in A549/DDP cells.
Moreover, camptothecin and cisplatin-induced ABCG2 and MRP2 upregulation could be impaired by ATM and NF-κB inhibitors, indicating a relationship between ATM, NF-κB activation and MDR formation in lung cancer chemo-therapy.
This study characterized genetic variability of the ABCB1 (also known as MDR1), ABCC2 (MRP2) and ABCG2 (BCRP) genes, which are key players in the metabolism of many chemotherapeutic agents including those used in the treatment of lung cancer.
We reviewed characteristic resistance mechanisms in lung cancer including over-expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein and structural, functional or expression alterations of β-tubulin (βII, βIII, βIV) which may devote to the development of acquired resistance to the Vinca alkaloids; multidrug-resistance proteins (MRP1, MRP2, MRP3) and RLIP76 protein have also been identified that probably play a significant role in intrinsic resistance.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between the endogenous levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), lung resistance-related protein (LRP), glutathione-s-transferase-π (GST‑π) and topoisomerase IIα (TopoIIα) and intrinsic drug resistance in four human lung cancer cell lines, SK-MES-1, SPCA-1, NCI-H-460 and NCI-H-446, of different histological types.
The multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), mediating a multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype, has been reported to be overexpressed in several drug-selected lung cancer cell lines.
We reviewed characteristic resistance mechanisms in lung cancer including over-expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein and structural, functional or expression alterations of β-tubulin (βII, βIII, βIV) which may devote to the development of acquired resistance to the Vinca alkaloids; multidrug-resistance proteins (MRP1, MRP2, MRP3) and RLIP76 protein have also been identified that probably play a significant role in intrinsic resistance.
To investigate the role of the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1) homologue MRP5 in relation to platinum drug resistance, we examined the steady-state levels of the mRNAs for MRP5 in both lung cancer cell lines and peripheral mononuclear cells (PMN) after exposure to platinum drug and in normal lung and lung cancer tissue specimens.
