Here, we found that protein expression of ABCB1 (ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily B Member 1) / MDR1 (multidrug resistance 1) was diminished in the intestinal mucosa of patients with active UC with or without CAC, but not in non-UC patients with sporadic colon cancer.
Here we report that the human colonic cancer cell line HT29 (MDR-1 negative) is more malignant than its MDR-1 overexpressing variant (HT29 MDR-1 positive).
The objective of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of ¹³¹I added to doxorubicin therapy in multidrug resistance (MDR) mouse colon cancer coexpressing the MDR1 small hairpin RNA (shRNA) and human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS) gene in a single gene construct and to visualize the antitumor effects using molecular nuclear imaging.
Enhanced anti-tumor effects of combined MDR1 RNA interference and human sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) radioiodine gene therapy using an adenoviral system in a colon cancer model.
The reversal effect of multidrug resistance (MDR1) gene expression by adenoviral vector-mediated MDR1 ribonucleic acid interference was assessed in a human colon cancer animal model using bioluminescent imaging with Renilla luciferase (Rluc) gene and coelenterazine, a substrate for Rluc or MDR1 gene expression.
The present study suggests that MDR1 2677G>T and 3435C>T polymorphism is not a risk factor for sporadic colon cancer among Bulgarians and that somatic mutation at these sites is not involved in the genesis of colon tumors.
Real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that MDR1 mRNA was not detected in the 10 gastric cancer cell lines but variable MDR1 mRNA levels in 7 of 9 colon cancer cell lines except the SNU-C5 and HT-29 cells.
We examined the effects of suppressing multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) and multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene expression in HCT-8DDP human colon cancer cell lines, which showed both cisplatin and multidrug resistance.
In order to selectively reverse MDR in malignant tissue without disrupting the function of normal colonocytes, a retroviral vector (pCEAMR) containing anti-mdr1 ribozyme coupled to the carcino-embryonic-antigen (CEA) promoter was constructed and introduced into resistant colon-cancer cells (SW1116R) that produce CEA and into control resistant cells (HeLaK) that do not produce CEA.
In an adriamycin-selected resistant colon cancer line (S48-3s/Adr), WCP4/WCP7 revealed t(4;7)(q31;q21) and BAC-derived probes demonstrated that the breakpoint lay between MDR1 and sequences 500-1000 KB telomeric to it.
The clinical significance of expression of the MDR1 gene product P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in relation to the intrinsic drug resistance and progression of human colon cancer is largely unknown.
We investigated the mechanism of sodium butyrate (NaB)-mediated induction of mdr1 mRNA in parental (wild type) and multidrug-resistant (Ad1000) SW620 colon cancer cell lines.
Reversal of drug resistance in a human colon cancer xenograft expressing MDR1 complementary DNA by in vivo administration of MRK-16 monoclonal antibody.
