Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) is a novel member of ATP-binding cassette transporters, which induce multidrug resistance in cancer cells. We previously reported that a high level of BCRP expression in CD4+T cells conferred cellular resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). However, this BCRP was found to have a mutation of Arg to Met at position 482 (BCRPR482M). The present study demonstrated that the wild-type BCRP (BCRPWT) also conferred cellular resistance to NRTIs. MT-4 cells (a CD4+T-cell line) highly expressing BCRPWT(MT-4/BCRP) were generated and the expression of BCRPWTwas confirmed by genotypic and phenotypic analyses. Compared to the parental MT-4 cells, MT-4/BCRP cells displayed resistance to zidovudine (AZT) in terms of antiviral activity as well as drug cytotoxicity. In addition, other NRTIs were also less inhibitory to HIV-1 replication in MT-4/BCRP cells than in MT-4 cells. Significant reduction of intracellular AZT accumulation was observed in MT-4/BCRP cells. An analysis for intracellular metabolism of AZT suggested that the resistance was attributed to the increased efflux of AZT and its metabolites in MT-4/BCRP cells. Furthermore, the BCRP-specific inhibitor fumitremorgin C completely restored the reduction of AZT in MT-4/BCRP cells. These results indicate that, like BCRPR482M, BCRPWTalso plays an important role in cellular resistance to NRTIs.
