Multidrug resistance-related protein 1 (MRP1 or ABCC1), a membrane-bound energy-dependent efflux transporter, is overexpressed in several kinds of multidrug-resistant cell lines and related to multidrug-resistance (MDR) of various cancers. In this study, we investigated whether MRP1 was involved in the chemoresistance of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). We demonstrated that down-regulation of MRP1 in MC3/5FU, a drug-resistant MEC cell line, by RNA interference increased the drug sensitivity of the cells to 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, pharmorubicin, bleomycin-A5, cis-platinum and taxol. However, no significant quantitative difference of MRP1 mRNA and protein expression was found between MC3/5FU cells and its parental cell line (MC3) as determined by RT-PCR and Western blot. Interestingly, MRP1 was translocated from the cytoplasmic membrane of the MC3 cells to the nuclei of MC3/5FU cells as revealed by indirect immunofluorescence staining. Furthermore, MRP1 down-regulation mainly decreased the nuclear expression of MRP1 rather than the cytoplasmic membrane expression. Our results suggested that MRP1 was involved in the chemoresistance of MEC and MRP1 may confer drug-resistance by a mechanism associated with its nuclear translocation.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of the chemotherapy drug Carfilzomib (CFZ) and Pistachio hull extract on the SK-BR3 breast cancer cell line.
Methods: In this experimental study, we evaluated the effect of Pistachio hull extract and CFZ as standalone treatments on cell viability using the MTT assay at 24- and 48-hours post-treatment. Following this, we conducted combination therapy analyses to assess the potential synergistic relationship between Pistachio hull extract and CFZ after 24- and 48-hours of treatment on both the SK-BR3 breast cancer cell line and the MCF10A normal cell line.

The widespread prevalence of colorectal cancer and its high mortality rate emphasize the urgent need for more effective therapies. When developing new drug products, a key aspect is ensuring that sufficiently high concentrations of the active drug are reached at the site of action. Drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes can significantly influence the absorption and local accumulation of drugs in intestinal tissue.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the second most common female reproductive cancer and the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Most human OCs are characterized by high rates of drug resistance and metastasis, leading to poor prognosis. Improving the outcomes of patients with relapsed and treatment-resistant OC remains a challenge.

Cyclic nucleotide GMP-AMP (cGAMP) plays a critical role in mediating the innate immune response through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway. Recent studies showed that ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 1 (ABCC1) is a cGAMP exporter. The exported cGAMP can be imported into uninfected cells to stimulate a STING-mediated innate immune response.
