It was found that the increased expression of the MRP1 gene was associated with the following subgroups of patients: Non‑smokers vs. smokers (OR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.17‑5.54; P=0.019); adenocarcinoma vs. squamous cell carcinoma (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.16‑2.17; P=0.004); clinical stage III‑IV vs. stage I‑II (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.11‑1.66; P=0.003); lymph node metastases (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.09‑1.61; P=0.005); poor response to chemotherapy (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.23‑0.72; P=0.002) and reduced 3‑year survival rate (OR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.23‑0.68; P=0.001).
Here, we show that the combination of different effectors like hyperthermia, iron oxide nanoparticles, and chemotherapeutics influences expression of MRP 1 and 3 in an adenocarcinoma cell line.
The positive rates of MRP1 (84.6% versus 21.9%), MRP2 (100% versus 43.8%) and MRP6 (61.5% versus 15.6%) were significantly higher in hepatoid than in control adenocarcinoma.
A weak association was observed between higher grading and P-glycoprotein expression (p <0.08) as well as lower grading and MRP1 expression in the case of adenocarcinoma (p <0.05).
To evaluate chemosensitivity and its correlation with expression levels of the multidrug resistant transporter (MDR1) and the multidrug resistance-associated proteins 1 and 2 (MRP1, MRP2) mRNA in human colorectal adenocarcinomas.
The NSCLC showing high (++) levels of MRP gene expression (19 out of 33, 57.6%) were predominantly squamous cell carcinomas (Ad, 5; Sq, 13; La, 1) (P < 0.05).
