Multidrug Resistance Associated with Overexpression of MRP

  • Chapter
Drug Resistance

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 87))

Abstract

Drug resistance occurs with all classes of chemotherapeutic agents and is a major cause of treatment failure in many human malignancies. In some types of tumors, such as non-small cell lung carcinomas, this resistance is inherent, while in others (e.g., acute myelogenous leukemia) it is acquired during treatment. The problem of drug resistance has been studied in the laboratory primarily by using drug-selected, cultured tumor cell lines as model systems. These cell lines are typically derived by exposure of cells to a single chemotherapeutic agent. When the selecting drug is a natural product, the resistant cells frequently acquire simultaneous crossresistance to structurally unrelated compounds that exert their cytotoxicity through a number of different subcellular targets. Such cells are commonly referred to as displaying a multidrug resistance phenotype. The spectrum of drugs encompassed by this experimental phenotype are almost always natural products and their semisynthetic derivatives, and they include agents such as VP-16 (etoposide), doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, and vincristine. Since many of these drugs are therapeutically very useful, elucidation of the mechanisms responsible for causing resistance to these agents is of considerable interest and potential clinical importance.
