Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main results of this research project are as follows: (1) The ABCB5 transfectants showed resistance to various anti-cancer agents including docetaxel. Cellular uptake of radiolabeled docetaxel in the transfectants was lower than that in the parental cells, suggesting that ABCB5 mediates the efflux of these anticancer agents. (2) Ubiquitin E3 ligase FBXO15 and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2R1 cooperatively ubiquitinated P-glycoprotein and promoted its degradation. (3) Protein phosphatase complex PP5/PPP2R3C negatively regulated the expression and function of P-glycoprotein. (4) A novel acrylonitrile derivative enhanced the antitumor activity of CPT-11 in a xenograft model of BCRP-expressing human colon cancer without a remarkable increase in body weight loss.
