Role of ABC transporters in cancer chemotherapy

Abstract: Multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells can significantly attenuate the response to chemotherapy and increase the likelihood of mortality. The major mechanism involved in conferring MDR is the overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which can increase efflux of drugs from cancer cells, thereby decreasing intracellular drug concentration. Modulators of ABC transporters have the potential to augment the efficacy of anticancer drugs. This editorial highlights some major findings related to A… Show more

“…Human P-gp, a 170 kDa trans-membrane glycoprotein, is composed of 12 hydrophobic domains and two nucleotide domains [ 220 ], and is a major component of the blood brain barrier [ 221 ]. It can transport several small molecules, either from the cytosol or from the cell membrane, out of the cell, which signifi cantly reduces cellular accumulation of cytotoxic molecules [ 138 , 222 ].…”
