Clarifying the molecular mechanisms of cotton aphid resistance to various insecticides is crucial for the long-term safe application of insecticides in chemical control. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters mediate the membrane transport of various substrates (including exogenous substances). Experiments confirmed that ABCB5, ABCF2, and MRP12 contributed to high levels of resistance to spirotetramat, cyantraniliprole, thiamethoxam or imidacloprid. Binding sites of the C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor CF2-II was predicted to be located in the promoters of ABCB5, ABCF2, and MRP12. The expression levels of ABCB5, ABCF2, and MRP12 were significantly upregulated after silencing CF2-II. The results of dual-luciferase reporter assays demonstrated a negative regulatory relationship between CF2-II and ABC transporter promoters. Furthermore, yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) and electrophoresis mobility shift assays (EMSAs) revealed that CF2-II inhibited the expression of ABC transporter genes through interaction with binding sites [ABCF2.p (-1149/-1140) or MRP12.p (-1189/-1181)]. The above results indicated that ABCB5, ABCF2, and MRP12 were negatively regulated by the transcription factor CF2-II, which will help us further understand the mechanism of transcriptional adaption of multi-insecticides resistant related ABC transporters in response to xenobiotics.

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters regulate the efflux of a broad spectrum of substrates to extracellular transporting, which play an important role in the detoxification process in arthropods. Here, we described a comprehensive approach to explore the involvement of ABC transporters in spirotetramat resistance in cotton aphids. In this study, synergism bioassays showed 17.

Distinct ABCB5 forms and ABCF2, members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transporters, are normally expressed in various tissues and cells, and enhanced expression of both has been demonstrated in select cancers. In melanoma cell lines, gene expression profiling of ABC transporters has revealed enhanced expression of melanocyte-specific ABCB5 and ABCF2 proteins. Given this, our primary aim was to ascertain immunohistochemical expression of the ABC transporters ABCB5 and ABCF2 and, the stem cell marker, nestin in a spectrum of benign and malignant nevomelanocytic proliferations, including nevi (n=30), in situ (n=31) and invasive (n=24) primary cutaneous melanomas to assess their role in the stepwise development of malignancy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the role of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in melanoma, particularly how they contribute to drug resistance in tumor cells.
  • High expression levels of certain ABC transporters were identified in melanoma cell lines compared to normal melanocytes, with ABCB5 showing a unique melanocyte-specific expression.
  • The findings suggest that these differentially regulated ABC transporters might play a crucial role in melanoma development and resistance to therapy, highlighting their potential as targets for new treatment strategies.
