Abstract

We investigated the relationship of ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC1/MRP1 and ABCG2/BCRP expression and promoter methylation with pancreatic cancer tumorigenesis and drug resistance. Gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells, SW1990/GZ (33.3-fold increased resistance), were obtained by treating SW1990 cells with gemcitabine. The expression of ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC1/MRP1 and ABCG2/BCRP was determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR in the cell lines, 3 normal pancreatic tissues, 15 human pancreatic cancer samples and 15 adjacent tissues. Promoter methylation was determined in cell lines by bisulfite genomic sequencing. ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC1/MRP1 and ABCG2/BCRP were upregulated in SW1990 and SW1990/GZ compared with normal pancreatic tissue, and expression in SW1990/GZ was significantly higher than in SW1990 cells. ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC1/MRP1 and ABCG2/BCRP were upregulated in pancreatic cancer tissues, compared to adjacent tissues. The ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC1/MRP1 and ABCG2/BCRP promoter were hypomethylated in all the cell lines. ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC1/MRP1 and ABCG2/BCRP expression correlated with pancreatic cancer tumorigenesis and drug resistance in a mechanism that is independent of promoter methylation.
