Collectively, the results of the present study suggest that there were no significant associations of ABCB1/MDR1C3435T polymorphism with colorectal cancer observed for all comparison models.
Carriers of the variant allele of MDR1 intron 3 had odds ratios (95% CI) of 0.97 (0.72-1.29) for developing adenomas, and 0.70 (0.41-1.21) for colorectal cancer, respectively, compared to homozygous wild type carriers.
In the present study, 146 Bulgarian patients with sporadic colorectal cancer and 160 healthy Bulgarian volunteers were evaluated for the two polymorphisms in MDR1.
Chemoresistance in multidrug-resistant (MDR) cells over expressing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) encoded by the MDR1 gene, is a major obstacle to successful chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.
Overall, our data show that EGCG may be act as a novel chemo-sensitizer, and the GRP78/NF-κB/miR-155-5p/MDR1 pathway plays a vital role in EGCG enhancing the sensitivity of colorectal cancer to 5-FU.
PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Cbmdisc and CNKI were searched for studies on the relationship of ABCB1/MDR1 gene SNPs and the incidence of colorectal cancer.
Polymorphisms in the xenobiotic transporter Multidrug Resistance 1 (MDR1) and interaction with meat intake in relation to risk of colorectal cancer in a Danish prospective case-cohort study.
Differences in ABCB1 (1236C>T) and ABCB1 (2677G>T/A) genotypes and T(1236) allele distribution between investigated populations indicate significant impact of these SNPs on risk of development of colorectal cancer.
