The phenomenon of resistance of tumors to chemically unrelated anticancer drugs, termed multidrug resistance, represents the most formidable challenge to the field of oncology. Multidrug resistance can be present at the time of diagnosis, or can be acquired after initial treatment and remission of a cancer. Although multiple mechanisms mediate multidrug resistance, the first mediator of multidrug resistance to be characterized at the molecular level was MDR1, also known as P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and ABCB1 (Gottesman et al., 2002). MDR1 mediates resistance to various classes of chemotherapeutic agents, including vinca alkaloids (vinblastine and vincristine), anthracyclines, paclitaxel and etoposide, by actively pumping the drugs from the cytosol and plasma membrane into the extracellular space. The molecular structure of MDR1 consists of 12 transmembrane domains that form a drug-binding pore, and two cytoplasmic ATP-binding cassettes. At least nine proteins related to MDR1 have been characterized to date and shown to mediate efflux of small molecules from cells (Gottesman et al., 2002). Two of these MDR1 relatives, multidrug-resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1, or ABCC1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, or ABCG2), have also been demonstrated to mediate multidrug resistance in tumor cells. These proteins belong to a larger family of ABC (ATP-binding cassette) proteins that function as transporters of ions, nutrients, and peptides.
The clinical importance of MDR1-mediated multidrug resistance has been best characterized in acute myelogenous leukaemia (Gottesman et al., 2002). The role of MDR1 in solid tumors has been more difficult to discern, due to variations in methods of detection of MDR1 in tissues. Multiple efforts have been made to standardize methods for MDR1 detection using flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization (Beck et al., 1996). It has been estimated that at least 50% of human cancers express the MDR1 phenotype. In vivo imaging of MDR1-mediated efflux with the radiological MDR1 substrate, 99mTc (technetium)-sestamibi, indicates that MDR1 is active in several cancer types.
MDR1 activity is also observed in various cell types in normal tissues. Brain microvascular endothelial cells express MDR1, which contributes to the blood-brain barrier. It was proposed that expression of MDR1 in hematopoietic stem cells, intestine, and reproductive tissues (testicular endothelium and placental syncytiotrophoblast) protects these cells from the detrimental effects of xenobiotics. MDR1 tissue distribution suggests that it has a role in cholesterol and steroid metabolism. Several subsets of immune cells also express MDR1 (Gottesman et al., 2002). MRP1 is widely expressed, and has physiological significance in transporting anionic xenobiotics and metabolites in lung, placenta, choroid plexus in the brain, and Sertoli cells in testes.
Assessment of activity of MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP in cultured cells has been facilitated by the observation that several fluorescent small molecules, such as DiOC2(3), rhodamine 123, and calcein AM, serve as substrates for MDR1 and its relatives (Figure 1). DiOC2(3) is highly specific for MDR1, and is not transported by the related multidrug resistance protein, MRP1 (Minderman et al., 1996; Table 1). Rhodamine 123 is effluxed by MDR1 and to a lesser extent by MRP1, and thus serves as a more broad indicator of total cellular efflux activity. Another member of the ABC family, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), weakly transports DiOC2(3), but does not transport Rhodamine 123 (Minderman et al., 2002; Table 1). Efflux of dyes can be inhibited by nonfluorescent transport substrates such as vinblastine (Figure 1). Dye efflux assays have proven to be instrumental in screening for compounds that inhibit activity of MDR1 and are thus likely to overcome MDR1-mediated multidrug resistance. In addition, in trials of MDR1 inhibitors in vivo, dye efflux analysis of CD56+ cells isolated from patients after treatment with MDR1 inhibitors permits assessment of intracellular levels of the inhibitor (Robey et al., 1999).
The Multidrug Resistance Direct Dye Efflux Assay Kit includes two of the best characterized and most commonly used multidrug resistance ABC transporter substrates, DiOC2(3) and rhodamine 123. The kit enables researchers to directly assess the functional activity of the MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP membrane pumps in living cells under physiologic conditions by directly measuring the relative fluorescence of cell populations that actively extrude fluorescent multidrug resistance transport substrates.

Application Notes
The Multidrug Resistance Direct Dye Efflux Activity Kit is designed to directly measure the functional activity of MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP by assaying for the ability of the cell to extrude fluorescent transport substrates of these proteins. The kit can be used to measure relative amounts of MDR1, MRP and BCRP activity between different cell populations. In addition, dye efflux assays can be used to assess the ability of unlabeled small molecules to serve as transport substrates for MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP and the ability of candidate inhibitors to block the function of these proteins.
Two conveniently formulated solutions of MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP substrate dyes, DiOC2(3) Solution and Rhodamine 123 Solution, are included in the kit to give the investigator flexibility in the substrate specificity of the efflux probe. In addition, a solution of a nonfluorescent substrate of MDR1 and MRP1, Vinblastine Solution, is provided to serve as a competitive inhibitor of dye efflux. DMSO is included as a diluent control for the Vinblastine Solution. Sterile, concentrated RPMI-1640 and BSA are provided as components for buffer for the loading, efflux and washing steps of the procedure. A sterile, concentrated solution of gentamicin, which has been shown to not be a substrate for MDR1 (Mechetner and Roninson, 1992), is supplied as an optional antibiotic for the buffer. Propidium iodide solution is included to identify dead cells and exclude them from the analysis.
The extent of efflux of fluorescent dyes is best analyzed by flow cytometry. The assay can also be incorporated with immunostaining experiments for multicolor analysis of cell surface marker expression and MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP function. Efflux mediated by MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP can also be quantified by analysis under a fluorescence microscope or on a fluorometric plate reader.
The efflux activity of MDR1 and its relatives is highly temperature sensitive. MDR1 functions optimally near 37ºC, but is effectively inactive at 4ºC. MDR1-expressing cells preloaded with MDR1 fluorescent substrates retain the dye and consequently have high fluorescence when incubated at 4ºC (Figure 1, 4ºC, top panels). Conversely, cells incubated at 37ºC more readily efflux the dye and show reduced fluorescence (Figure 1, 37ºC + DMSO, middle panels). The kit also includes a specific inhibitor vinblastine, which is also a substrate for MDR1 and competitively blocks efflux of DiOC2(3) and Rhodamine 123. Inclusion of excess vinblastine in the efflux reaction at 37ºC therefore results in high fluorescence (Figure 1, 37ºC + vinblastine, bottom panels).
For Research Use Only; Not for use in diagnostic or in vivo procedures
The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. The protein encoded by this gene is an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump for xenobiotic compounds with broad substrate specificity. It is responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells and often mediates the development of resistance to anticancer drugs. This protein also functions as a transporter in the blood-brain barrier.

Our previous studies have identified berberine (BBR), an alkaloid isolated from the Chinese herb huanglian, as a unique cholesterol-lowering drug that upregulates hepatic low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) expression through a mechanism of mRNA stabilization. Here, we demonstrate that the root extract of goldenseal, a BBR-containing medicinal plant, is highly effective in upregulation of liver LDLR expression in HepG2 cells and in reducing plasma cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) in hyperlipidemic hamsters, with greater activities than the pure compound BBR. By conducting bioassay-driven semipurifications, we demonstrate that the higher potency of goldenseal is achieved through concerted actions of multiple bioactive compounds in addition to BBR. We identify canadine (CND) and two other constituents of goldenseal as new upregulators of LDLR expression. We further show that the activity of BBR on LDLR expression is attenuated by multiple drug resistance-1 (MDR1)-mediated efflux from liver cells, whereas CND is resistant to MDR1. This finding defines a molecular mechanism for the higher activity of CND than BBR. We also provide substantial evidence to show that goldenseal contains natural MDR1 antagonist(s) that accentuate the upregulatory effect of BBR on LDLR mRNA expression. These new findings identify goldenseal as a natural LDL-c-lowering agent, and our studies provide a molecular basis for the mechanisms of action.
