Side populations of glioblastoma cells are resistant to chemotherapy basically due to ABCG2-mediated efflux of small-molecule drugs. The herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir suicide gene therapy system is one of the best-characterized strategies for malignant tumors including glioblastoma. Since this system involves a small-molecule drug ganciclovir, we wonder if glioblastoma side population cells are able to “pump out” ganciclovir and thus resistant to this suicide gene therapy. By 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium assay, we found that side populations are more resistant to this system than non-side populations. By flow cytometry and competition assay, we found that ganciclovir is a substrate for ABCG2.
