Molecular evolution of the ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 gene subfamily and its paralogs in birds.

ABSTRACT:

Background

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are involved in the active transportation of various endogenous or exogenous substances. Two ABCG2 gene subfamily members have been identified in birds. A detailed comparative study of the ABCG2 and ABCG2-like genes aid our understanding of their evolutionary history at the molecular level and provide a theoretical reference for studying the specific functions of ABCG2 and ABCG2-like genes in birds.

Results

We first identified 77 ABCG2/ABCG2-like gene sequences in the genomes of 41 birds. Further analysis showed that both the nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of ABCG2 and ABCG2-like genes were highly conserved and exhibited high homology in birds. However, significant differences in the N-terminal structure were found between the ABCG2 and ABCG2-like amino acid sequences. A selective pressure analysis showed that the ABCG2 and ABCG2-like genes were affected by purifying selection during the process of bird evolution.

Conclusions

We believe that multiple members of the ABCG2 gene subfamily exist on chromosome 4 in the ancestors of birds. Over the long course of evolution, only the ABCG2 gene was retained on chromosome 4 in birds. The ABCG2-like gene on chromosome 6 might have originated from chromosome replication or fusion. The structural differences between the N terminus of ABCG2 protein and those of ABCG2-like proteins might lead to functional differences between the corresponding genes.

Masitinib antagonizes ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2-mediated multidrug resistance.

Project description:In this in vitro study, we determined whether masitinib could reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) in cells overexpressing the ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) transporter. Masitinib (1.25 and 2.5 µM) significantly decreases the resistance to mitoxantrone (MX), SN38 and doxorubicin in HEK293 and H460 cells overexpressing the ABCG2 transporter. In addition, masitinib (2.5 µM) significantly increased the intracellular accumulation of [(3)H]-MX, a substrate for ABCG2, by inhibiting the function of ABCG2 and significantly decreased the efflux of [(3)H]-MX. However, masitinib (2.5 µM) did not significantly alter the expression of the ABCG2 protein. In addition, a docking model suggested that masitinib binds within the transmembrane region of a homology-modeled human ABCG2 transporter. Overall, our in vitro findings suggest that masitinib reverses MDR to various anti-neoplastic drugs in HEK293 and H460 cells overexpressing ABCG2 by inhibiting their transport activity as opposed to altering their levels of expression.

Linsitinib (OSI-906) antagonizes ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 and subfamily C member 10-mediated drug resistance.

Project description:In this study we investigated the effect of linsitinib on the reversal of multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by the overexpression of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) subfamily members ABCB1, ABCG2, ABCC1 and ABCC10. Our results indicate for the first time that linsitinib significantly potentiate the effect of anti-neoplastic drugs mitoxantrone (MX) and SN-38 in ABCG2-overexpressing cells; paclitaxel, docetaxel and vinblastine in ABCC10-overexpressing cells. Linsitinib moderately enhanced the cytotoxicity of vincristine in cell lines overexpressing ABCB1, whereas it did not alter the cytotoxicity of substrates of ABCC1. Furthermore, linsitinib significantly increased the intracellular accumulation and decreased the efflux of [(3)H]-MX in ABCG2-overexpressing cells and [(3)H]-paclitaxel in ABCC10-overexpressing cells. However, linsitinib, at a concentration that reversed MDR, did not significantly alter the expression levels of either the ABCG2 or ABCC10 transporter proteins. Furthermore, linsitinib did not significantly alter the intracellular localization of ABCG2 or ABCC10. Moreover, linsitinib stimulated the ATPase activity of ABCG2 in a concentration-dependent manner. Overall, our study suggests that linsitinib attenuates ABCG2- and ABCC10-mediated MDR by directly inhibiting their function as opposed to altering ABCG2 or ABCC10 protein expression.

Influence of (ATP)-Binding Cassette Transporter Subfamily B Member 1 (ABCB1) Gene Polymorphism on the Efficacy of Remifentanil.

Project description:BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene polymorphism on the efficacy of Remifentanil. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 276 patients undergoing elective surgeries were included to collect general clinical information and detect the polymorphism of ABCB1 rs1045642 using the TaqMan-MGB probe, and they were divided into 3 groups - a genotype AA group, a genotype AG group, and a genotype GG group - based on different genotypes of ABCB1 rs1045642. RESULTS The comparisons showed that there were no differences in sex, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, drinking status, or ASA class among the 3 groups (P˃0.05). The genotype GG group had higher consumption of Remifentanil than the genotype AA group (P˂0.05), but the genotype AG group was not different from the genotype AA and GG groups (P˃0.05). Comparison of the surgery duration revealed no difference among the 3 groups (P˃0.05). The analepsia time, autonomous respiratory recovery time, and orientation recovery time in the genotype GG group were longer than in the genotype AA group (P˂0.05), but the genotype AG group was not different from the genotype AA and GG groups (P˃0.05). There were no differences in adverse reactions among the 3 groups (P˃0.05). CONCLUSIONS ABCB1 gene polymorphism can affect the clinical efficacy of Remifentanil.

Masitinib antagonizes ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 10-mediated paclitaxel resistance: a preclinical study.

Project description:Paclitaxel displays clinical activity against a wide variety of solid tumors. However, resistance to paclitaxel significantly attenuates the response to chemotherapy. The ABC transporter subfamily C member 10 (ABCC10), also known as multidrug resistance protein 7 (MRP7) efflux transporter, is a major mediator of paclitaxel resistance. In this study, we show that masitinib, a small molecule stem-cell growth factor receptor (c-Kit) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, at nontoxic concentrations, significantly attenuates paclitaxel resistance in HEK293 cells transfected with ABCC10. Our in vitro studies indicated that masitinib (2.5 ?mol/L) enhanced the intracellular accumulation and decreased the efflux of paclitaxel by inhibiting the ABCC10 transport activity without altering the expression level of ABCC10 protein. Furthermore, masitinib, in combination with paclitaxel, significantly inhibited the growth of ABCC10-expressing tumors in nude athymic mice in vivo. Masitinib administration also resulted in a significant increase in the levels of paclitaxel in the plasma, tumors, and lungs compared with paclitaxel alone. In conclusion, the combination of paclitaxel and masitinib could serve as a novel and useful therapeutic strategy to reverse paclitaxel resistance mediated by ABCC10.

Modulating the function of ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) with inhibitor cabozantinib.

Project description:Cabozantinib (XL184) is a small molecule tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor, which targets c-Met and VEGFR2. Cabozantinib has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat advanced medullary thyroid cancer and renal cell carcinoma. In the present study, we evaluated the ability of cabozantinib to modulate the function of the ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) by sensitizing cells that are resistant to ABCG2 substrate antineoplastic drugs. We used a drug-selected resistant cell line H460/MX20 and three ABCG2 stable transfected cell lines ABCG2-482-R2, ABCG2-482-G2, and ABCG2-482-T7, which overexpress ABCG2. Cabozantinib, at non-toxic concentrations (3 or 5μM), sensitized the ABCG2-overexpressing cells to mitoxantrone, SN-38, and topotecan. Our results indicate that cabozantinib reverses ABCG2-mediated multidrug resistance by antagonizing the drug efflux function of the ABCG2 transporter instead of downregulating its expression. The molecular docking analysis indicates that cabozantinib binds to the drug-binding site of the ABCG2 transporter. Overall, our findings demonstrate that cabozantinib inhibits the ABCG2 transporter function and consequently enhances the effect of the antineoplastic agents that are substrates of ABCG2. Cabozantinib may be a useful agent in anticancer treatment regimens for patients who are resistant to ABCG2 substrate drugs.

Expression of ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 gene in peripheral blood of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Project description:This study aimed to determine the amount of expression of the ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene chip as a prospective diagnostic marker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a wide population . In the AMI and control groups, 113 patients with AMI and 83 persons with non-coronary artery disease were selected for peripheral venous leukocyte collection. Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were employed to detect relative ABCB1 expression in both groups. The results showed that the ABCB1 transcription and protein levels in the AMI group were higher than in the control. The relative mRNA expression of ABCB1 was 0.26 (0.03-0.79) in the AMI group and 0.13 (0.01-0.52) in the control group (P < 0.05). The expression of the ABCB1 gene at the protein level in the AMI group was 1.65 times that in the control (P < 0.05). Further, the subjects in the AMI group were older (P < 0.001), had lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P = 0.038), and had higher incidence of type II diabetes mellitus (P = 0.003) compared with the control. Logistic regression analysis showed that the expression of ABCB1 in peripheral blood was correlated with the occurrence of AMI (P = 0.003). High ABCB1 expression, type II diabetes, and advanced age were found to serve as potential independent risk factors for AMI, with a 4.88-fold, 2.99-fold, and 2.63-fold increased risk of AMI. Overall, the high expression of ABCB1 in peripheral blood might be related to the occurrence of AMI.

ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily A Member 2 (ABCA2) Expression and Methylation are Associated with Alzheimer's Disease.

Project description:BACKGROUND ABCA2 has been genetically linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, but its mRNA expression and epigenetics in AD have not been investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS To explore the diagnosis value of ABCA2 mRNA expression in AD, 2 datasets GES15222 and GSE33000 containing expression profile of brain cortex tissues and 2 datasets GSE63063 (Cohort 1) and GSE63063 (Cohort 2) containing expression profile of blood were downloaded from the NCBI GEO database and analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses and logistic regression. The ABCA2 co-expressed genes were also analyzed by GO annotation to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms. RESULTS The analyses results suggested ABCA2 mRNA expression was upregulated significantly in AD compared with controls in all datasets. ROC analysis suggested that ABCA2 was associated with AD in all datasets, which were also proved by univariate and multivariate analyses. Next, the dataset GSE80970 containing methylation profiles of prefrontal cortex tissues from AD patients were downloaded and analyzed. Methylation of 2 of 36 CpG islands in ABCA2 gene with high diagnostic accuracy of AD from controls in ROC analyses were found to be negatively associated with AD risk in univariate analysis. One was still associated with AD risk after adjustment of confounding factors. Additional analyses indicated that ACBA2 mRNA expression could be used to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Huntington's disease (HD) from controls and to distinguish HD from AD, but not AD from MCI. Furthermore, the genes involved in AD during ABCA2 alteration were analyzed by GO analysis. CONCLUSIONS ABCA2 mRNA expression and methylation is associated AD risk. ABCA2 may be used as a biomarker for AD diagnosis and may be a potential therapeutic target of AD.

A selective ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 efflux inhibitor revealed via high-throughput flow cytometry.

Project description:Chemotherapeutics tumor resistance is a principal reason for treatment failure, and clinical and experimental data indicate that multidrug transporters such as ATP-binding cassette (ABC) B1 and ABCG2 play a leading role by preventing cytotoxic intracellular drug concentrations. Functional efflux inhibition of existing chemotherapeutics by these pumps continues to present a promising approach for treatment. A contributing factor to the failure of existing inhibitors in clinical applications is limited understanding of specific substrate/inhibitor/pump interactions. We have identified selective efflux inhibitors by profiling multiple ABC transporters against a library of small molecules to find molecular probes to further explore such interactions. In our primary screening protocol using JC-1 as a dual-pump fluorescent reporter substrate, we identified a piperazine-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine substructure with promise for selective efflux inhibition. As a result of a focused structure-activity relationship (SAR)-driven chemistry effort, we describe compound 1 (CID44640177), an efflux inhibitor with selectivity toward ABCG2 over ABCB1. Compound 1 is also shown to potentiate the activity of mitoxantrone in vitro as well as preliminarily in vivo in an ABCG2-overexpressing tumor model. At least two analogues significantly reduce tumor size in combination with the chemotherapeutic topotecan. To our knowledge, low nanomolar chemoreversal activity coupled with direct evidence of efflux inhibition for ABCG2 is unprecedented.

Afatinib reverses multidrug resistance in ovarian cancer via dually inhibiting ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1.

Project description:ABCB1-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) remains a major obstacle to successful chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. Herein, afatinib at nontoxic concentrations significantly reversed ABCB1-mediated MDR in ovarian cancer cells in vitro (p < 0.05). Combining paclitaxel and afatinib caused tumor regressions and tumor necrosis in A2780T xenografts in vivo. More interestingly, unlike reversible TKIs, afatinib had a distinctive dual-mode action. Afatinib not only inhibited the efflux function of ABCB1, but also attenuated its expression transcriptionally via down-regulation of PI3K/AKT and MAPK/p38-dependent activation of NF-?B. Furthermore, apart from a substrate binding domain, afatinib could also bind to an ATP binding domain of ABCB1 through forming hydrogen bonds with Gly533, Gly534, Lys536 and Ala560 sites. Importantly, mutations in these four binding sites of ABCB1 and the tyrosine kinase domain of EGFR were not correlated with the reversal activity of afatinib on MDR. Given that afatinib is a clinically approved drug, our results suggest combining afatinib with chemotherapeutic drugs in ovarian cancer. This study can facilitate the rediscovery of superior MDR reversal agents from molecular targeted drugs to provide a more effective and safer way of resensitizing MDR.

Regulation of ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 by Snail contributes to chemoresistance in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Although accumulating evidence has indicated the intimate association between epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and acquired resistance to chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC), the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, we reported that Snail, a crucial EMT controller, was upregulated in CRC tissues. Colorectal cancer cells overexpressing Snail were found to be more resistant to 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu). Mechanistic studies reveal that Snail could increase the expression of ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) rather than the other 23 chemoresistance-related genes. Additionally, knockdown of ABCB1 significantly attenuated Snail-induced 5-Fu resistance in CRC cells. Oxaliplatin increased Snail and ABCB1 expression in CRC cells. Snail and ABCB1 were upregulated in 5-Fu-resistant HCT-8 (HCT-8/5-Fu) cells and inhibition of Snail decreased ABCB1 in HCT-8/5-Fu cells. These results confirm the vital role played by ABCB1 in Snail-induced chemoresistance. Further investigation into the relevant molecular mechanism revealed Snail-mediated ABCB1 upregulation was independent of β-catenin, STAT3, PXR, CAR and Foxo3a, which are commonly involved in modulating ABCB1 transcription. Instead, Snail upregulated ABCB1 transcription by directly binding to its promoter. Clinical analysis confirms that increased Snail expression correlated significantly with tumor size (P = .018), lymph node metastasis (P = .033), distant metastasis (P = .025), clinical stage grade (P = .024), and poor prognosis (P = .045) of CRC patients. Moreover, coexpression of Snail and ABCB1 was observed in CRC patients. Our study revealed that direct regulation of ABCB1 by Snail was critical for conferring chemoresistance in CRC cells. These findings unraveled the mechanisms underlying the association between EMT and chemoresistance, and provided potential targets for CRC clinical treatment.
