ABCB1 genetic polymorphism influences the pharmacology of the new pyrrolobenzodiazepine derivative SJG-136.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette transporter P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) is responsible for the multidrug resistance (MDR1) phenotype observed in cancer cells. SJG-136, a new pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer, is a sequence-dependent DNA crosslinking agent and substrate of ABCB1. We previously showed that colon cancer cell lines expressing high levels of ABCB1 showed a lower sensitivity to SJG-136. Here, we show that in 3T3 isogenic fibroblasts, ABCB1 genetic polymorphism differentially affects ABCB1 gene expression and transport function. However, this genotype-phenotype relationship was not observed in immortalized lymphocytes, which expressed 10- to 1000-fold less ABCB1 than colon cancer cell lines. Consistent with this, the cytotoxicity of SJG-136 in 3T3 fibroblasts was affected by ABCB1 genetic polymorphism but not in immortalized lymphocytes. ABCB1 genetic polymorphism is therefore likely to affect drug sensitivity in tissues expressing high levels of the transporter and in which significant variability is observed.
