Popis: Multidrug resistance (MDR) due to enhanced drug efflux activity of tumor cells can severely impact the efficacy of antitumor therapies. We recently showed that increased activity of the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) associated with activation of Snail transcriptional regulators may be mediated mainly by moesin in lung cancer cells. Here, we aimed to systematically evaluate the relationships among mRNA expression levels of efflux transporters (P-gp, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2)), scaffold proteins (ezrin (Ezr), radixin (Rdx), and moesin (Msn); ERM proteins), and SNAI family members (Snail, Slug, and Smac) in clinical lung cancer and noncancer samples. We found high correlations between relative (cancer/noncancer) mRNA expression levels of Snail and Msn, Msn and P-gp, Slug and MRP2, and Smuc and BCRP. These findings support our previous conclusion that Snail regulates P-gp activity via Msn and further suggest that Slug and Smuc may contribute to the functional regulation of MRP2 and BCRP, respectively, in lung cancer cells. This trial is registered with UMIN000023923.
