Abstract | BACKGROUND: Therapeutic resistance is a frequent problem of cancer treatment and a leading cause of mortality in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Recent insight into the mechanisms that confer multidrug resistance has elucidated that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) assists cancer cells in escaping therapeutic stress caused by toxic chemotherapy. Therefore, it is necessary to develop ABCG2 inhibitors. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of KU55933 on ABCG2 in CRC. METHODS: The cytotoxicity assay and drug accumulation assay were used to examine the inhibitory effect of KU55933 on ABCG2. The protein expressions were detected by Western blot assay. The docking assay was performed to predict the binding site and intermolecular interactions between KU55933 and ABCG2. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: In summary, our data presented that KU55933 could effectively inhibit the drug pump activity of ABCG2 in colorectal cancer, which is further supported by the predicted model that showed the hydrophobic interactions of KU55933 within the drug-binding pocket of ABCG2. KU55933 can potently inhibit the activity of ABCG2 in CRC.
