Regulation of Multidrug Resistance by Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines

Abstract: Various mechanisms have been implicated in the development of resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a phenomenon in which cancer cells are resistant to the cytotoxic effects of various structurally and mechanistically unrelated chemotherapeutic agents. One major mechanism by which this occurs is through the over-expression of ATP-dependent drug efflux transporters such as the P-glycoprotein (PGP) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP). Regulation of MDR can occur … Show more

“…Currently, there is convincing evidence that disease processes (e.g., inflammation) can influence the expression of multiple hepatic ABC transporters, including P-glycoprotein (McRae et al, 2003;Ho and Piquette-Miller, 2006). At the blood-brain barrier emerging evidence shows that P-glycoprotein expression is also changed during disease, e.g., in epilepsy and stroke (see below).…”

“…For instance, acute renal and acute hepatic failure (Murakami et al, 2002), as well as local and systemic inflammatory reactions (Ho and Piquette-Miller, 2006), reduces the expression of P-glycoprotein.…”

“…Our findings suggest that protein-mediated MDR in paediatric STS is a complex phenomenon that deserves further investigation in order to better understand how the expression of MDR proteins might predict tumour response to chemotherapeutic agents and, consequently the prognosis of the disease. Furthermore, approaches aimed at overcoming drug resistance of tumour cells through down-regulation of MDR proteins with small interfering RNA and pro-inflammatory cytokines (39,40) could be explored in the future and lead to the development of novel treatment strategies of paediatric STS.…”
