ABCG2 overexpression

Overall, our findings unveil an additional pharmacological facet of vodobatinib against ABCB1 and ABCG2 activity, suggesting its potential incorporation into combination therapy for a specific subset of patients with tumors characterized by high ABCB1 or ABCG2 levels. Further investigation is warranted to fully elucidate the clinical implications of this therapeutic approach.

This was achieved partially by inhibition of ABCG2-mediated excretion of dasatinib from CML cells. Therefore, these findings provide important insights for improving CML treatment and overcoming TKI resistance.

In all resistant cell lines, the expression of miR-548c-3p was decreased. It can be concluded downregulation of miR548c-3p is in line with Tyms and Abcg2 overexpression in resistant cell lines to 5-Fluorouracil.

We found that the compound GSK2606414 enhanced the sensitivity of the ABCG2 substrate to the chemotherapeutic drugs mitoxantrone and doxorubicin in ABCG2-overexpressing multidrug-resistant colorectal cancer cells by increasing their intracellular accumulation without affecting the protein expression of ABCG2. Molecular docking experiments predicted that GSK2606414 could stably bind in the drug-binding pocket of ABCG2. In conclusion, GSK2606414 can sensitize ABCG2-overexpressed multidrug-resistant colorectal cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs and can be used as a potential inhibitor of ABCG2.

Here, we used exploratory sequencing of gene transcripts to determine the mechanisms of drug resistance in a dasatinib resistant cell line model. Additionally, it was demonstrated that ABCG2 overexpression confers partial ponatinib resistance. The results of this study have broad applicability and help direct effective therapeutic drug usage and dosing regimens and may be useful for clinicians to select the most efficacious therapy at the most beneficial time.

MAGL inhibitor, JJKK048, reduced ABCG2 expression, increased regorafenib cell accumulation, which led to higher regorafenib efficacy. In conclusion, hypoxia-induced regorafenib resistance due to ABCG2 over-expression in TNBC cells can be ameliorated by MAGL inhibition.

The TNF-α blockade abolished the IFIT2 depletion-induced sphere formation, indicating that TNF-α may be involved in the CSC-like phenotypes in oral cancer. (4) The present study demonstrates that IFIT2 depletion promotes CSC-like phenotypes in oral cancer.

An induction of vascularization was noticed in PDX mice but reduction of vascularization was also observed after treatment of Cur + QC. Thus, data suggested that in hypoxia, ABCG2 enhances the production of angiogenesis factor VEGF A which in turn induced angiogenesis and Cur + QC inhibited the process by inhibiting ABCG2 in breast cancer.

NCI-H460/TPT10 cells exhibited a 394.7-fold resistance to TPT, and cross-resistance to SN-38, mitoxantrone, and doxorubicin, compared to parental NCI-H460 cells...Moreover, the involvement of functional ABCG2 as a drug efflux pump conferring multidrug resistance (MDR) was indicated by low intracellular accumulation of TPT in NCI-H460/TPT10 cells, and the reversal effects by ABCG2 inhibitor Ko143 and cabozantinib. The NCI-H460/TPT10 and its parental cell line were further used to establish in vivo tumor xenograft mouse models, which verified their capability to serve as clinically relevant models for drug screening and the development of targeted strategies to overcome ABCG2-mediated MDR in NSCLC.

Together with extended tumor exposure to therapeutically effective drug levels via reversible conjugation to Pluronic F-108 (PF108), these features translated into rapid tumor regression and long-term survival in models of both ABCG2-overexpressing and p53-mutant high-risk neuroblastomas, in contrast to a marginal effect of the clinically used camptothecin derivative, irinotecan. Our results demonstrate that pharmacophore enhancement, increased tumor uptake, and optimally stable carrier-drug association integrated into the design of the hydrolytically activatable PF108-[SN22]  have the potential to effectively combat multiple mechanisms governing chemoresistance in newly diagnosed (chemo-naïve) and recurrent forms of aggressive malignancies. As a macromolecular carrier-based delivery system exhibiting remarkable efficacy against two particularly challenging forms of high-risk neuroblastoma, PF108-[SN22] can pave the way to a robust and clinically viable therapeutic strategy urgently needed for patients with multidrug-resistant disease presently lacking effective treatment options.
