In addition to ABCG2, co-culture of DLBCL cells with HS-5 cells also resulted in increase expression of the antiapoptotic proteins BCL2, BCL-xL and BCL2A1 and in induced chemotolerance to doxorubicin and methotrexate, drugs routinely used for the treatment of DLBCL.

This study demonstrates that the ABCG2Q141K polymorphism may correlate with chemotherapy-induced diarrhea in patients with DLBCL who have received frontline R-CHOP chemotherapy, and this has implications for optimizing treatment with such agents.
