Abstract

Purpose

Chemotherapy is not only important but also necessary for the patient of breast cancer. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), an atypical drug efflux pump, mediates multidrug resistance in breast cancer. The aim of this study is to search new substrate of BCRP. The result will guide the drug selection of chemotherapy in BCRP-positive breast cancer.

Methods

PA317/Tet-on/TRE-BCRP cell induced with doxycycline was used to screen the possible substrates of BCRP by MTT assay. The suspicious substrate [5-fluorouracil (5-Fu)] was further confirmed in PA317 and breast cancer cell MCF-7 by HLCP, apoptosis assay (staining and FACS) and RNAi technique.

Results

Mitoxantrone, 5-Fu, adriamycin, Methotrexate, Pirarubicin, and Etoposide were identified as substrates of BCRP. However, Paclitaxel, Vincristine, Vindesine, Mitomycin C, and cisplatin were not mediated by BCRP. 5-Fu was identified as substrate of BCRP for the first time. The further study showed that the intracellular retention dose of 5-Fu and the 5-Fu induced cellular apoptosis all decreased when BCRP highly expressed. Furthermore, 5-Fu accumulation and 5-Fu induced DNA damage increased when BCRP was silenced by RNAi in breast cancer cells.

Conclusions

5-Fluorouracil may be a specific substrate which can be bound by BCRP. BCRP can predict the sensitivity of breast cancer to 5-Fu. And BCRP-targeted therapy will reverse the resistance of breast cancer to 5-Fu.

Das Risiko für Rezidiv oder Tod von Patienten und Patientinnen mit reseziertem ALK-positivem NSCLC ist unter einer adjuvanten Therapie mit dem Tyrosinkinase-Inhibitor Alectinib signifikant geringer als unter platinbasierter Chemotherapie.

Bei Senioren mit Prostatakarzinom auf Anämie achten!

24.04.2024 DGIM 2024 Nachrichten

Patienten, die zur Behandlung ihres Prostatakarzinoms eine Androgendeprivationstherapie erhalten, entwickeln nicht selten eine Anämie. Wer ältere Patienten internistisch mitbetreut, sollte auf diese Nebenwirkung achten.

ICI-Therapie in der Schwangerschaft wird gut toleriert

Müssen sich Schwangere einer Krebstherapie unterziehen, rufen Immuncheckpointinhibitoren offenbar nicht mehr unerwünschte Wirkungen hervor als andere Mittel gegen Krebs.
