摘要：Our previous report indicated that Snail-induced epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) enhanced P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function and drug resistance to P-gp substrate anticancer drug in a human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, HCC827. Our objective is to evaluate the changes in the mRNA and protein expression levels and the functions of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 2, MRP5 and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Snail-expressing HCC827 cells showed increased mRNA levels of Snail and a mesenchymal marker vimentin, and decreased mRNA levels of an epithelial marker E-cadherin after transduction, indicating that Snail had induced EMT consistent with our previous reports. The mRNA level of MRP2 was significantly decreased, while that of MRP5 remained unchanged, in Snail-expressing cells. The expression levels of MRP2 and MRP5 proteins in whole-cell homogenate were unchanged in Snail-expressing cells, but MRP5 protein showed significantly increased membrane localization. Snail-transduction increased the efflux transport of 5-(and-6)-carboxy-2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (CDCF), a substrate of MRP2, 3 and 5. This increase was blocked by MK571, which inhibits MRP1, 2, and 5. Toxicity of cisplatin, a substrate of MRP2 and 5, was significantly decreased in Snail-expressing cells. BCRP mRNA and protein levels were both decreased in Snail-expressing cells, which showed an increase in the intracellular accumulation of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38), a BCRP substrate, resulting in reduced viability. These results suggested that MRP5 function appears to be increased via an increase in membrane localization, whereas the BCRP function is decreased via a decrease in the expression level in HCC827 cells with Snail-induced EMT.
