PurposeWe examined the effects of the nine nonsynonymous germ-line mutations/SNPs in thebreast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2)gene on the expression and function of the protein.Materials and MethodsWe generated cDNAs for each of these mutants (G151T, C458T, C496G, A616C, T623C, T742C, T1291C, A1768T, and G1858ABCRP) and compared the effects of their exogenous expression in PA317 cells with a wild-type control.ResultsPA/F208S cells (T623CBCRP-transfectants) expressed marginal levels of a BCRP protein species (65kDa), which is slightly smaller than wild-type (70kDa), but this mutant did not appear on the cell surface or confer drug resistance. PA/F431L cells (T1291CBCRP-transfectants) were found to express both 70kDa and 65kDa BCRP protein products. In addition, although PA/F431L cells expressed 70kDa BCRP at comparable levels to PA/WT cells, they showed only marginal resistance to SN-38. PA/T153M cells (C458TBCRP-transfectants) and PA/D620N cells (G1858ABCRP-transfectants) expressed lower amounts of BCRP and showed lower levels of resistance to SN-38 compared with PA/WT cells.ConclusionsWe have shown that T623CBCRPencodes a non-functional BCRP and that T1291CBCRPencodes a low-functional BCRP. Hence, these mutations may affect the pharmacokinetics of BCRP substrates in patients harboring these alleles.
