ABC transporter gene expression in benign and malignant ovarian tissue
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectiveATP-binding Cassette (ABC) transporters are thought to cause multiple drug resistance (MDR) in various carcinomas. Gene expression data from individual transporters in ovarian cancer tissue is contradictory and also scarce for some of them. RNA levels of a panel of ABC transporters were collected and analyzed to get a more detailed overview which transporters are of importance in resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in ovarian carcinoma.MethodsReal-time PCR was used to determine RNA expression levels of 9 ABC transporters in 50 benign tissue samples and 50 recurrent ovarian cancer samples. Genes exhibiting a significant difference between those two groups were further evaluated in 50 primary cancer samples. Data were analyzed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multiple Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney U-tests with Shaffer correction.ResultsGene expression of four transporters (ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC3, and ABCB3) was significantly elevated in recurrent cancer lesions compared to benign tissue. Expression levels of these 4 ABC transporters were further analyzed in primary ovarian cancer lesions. A significant difference between primary and recurrent tumor tissue was found in all four genes. Changes in gene expression between benign samples and primary lesions were minor and not relevant.ConclusionsFour of the examined ABC transporters are likely to play a role in the MDR of ovarian carcinoma. Gene expression of these transporters seems only up regulated through chemotherapy. The thesis that MDR in ovarian cancer is acquired through therapy itself and not present ab initio is supported by these findings.
