| Research Abstract |
ABCG2 is a half-size ATP-binding cassette transporter implicated in cellular gefitinib transport. Reportedly, the C421A ABCG2 gene variant was associated with gefitinib-induced diarrhea in Caucasian patients with non-small cell lung cancer. C421A ABCG2, resulting in Q141K substitution, is more prevalent in Asian populations. Therefore, the putative relationship between gefitinib-induced adverse effects and this functional polymorphism was investigated in 75 Japanese patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with gefitinib 250 mg/d orally. C376T, resulting in truncated, non-functional ABCG2, was also investigated. Forty one (54.7%) patients harbored 376T or 421A ABCG2 on at least one allele, while the remaining 34 (45.3%) were wild type for ABCG2. No significant group differences were observed in frequency of gefitinib-related diarrhea or other adverse effects. Next, DLD-1 colon cancer cells expressing wild-type (DLD-1/WT) or 141K mutant ABCG2 (DLD-1/Q141K) were established for investigation of in-vitro cell sensitivity to the ABCG2-substrate drugs, gefitinib and SN-38. ABCG2 expression was much lower in DLD-1/Q141K cells than in DLD-1/WT cells, despite similar ABCG2 mRNA levels. DLD-1/WT cells acquired more resistance to SN-38 than did DLD-1/Q141K cells, but neither cell line acquired gefitinib resistance compared with parental cells. In-vitro data also suggested that ABCG2 has only a limited role in toxicity of gefitinib, but not SN-38, in colon-derived cells.
