Transcriptional suppression of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) by wild-type p53 through the NF-kappaB pathway in MCF-7 cells.
FEBS Letters 2010 August 5
Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) has been shown to confer multidrug resistance, but the mechanisms of its regulation are poorly understood. Here, we investigate the effects of wild-type and mutant p53, and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB) (p50) on BCRP promoter activity in MCF-7 cells. Our results demonstrated that wild-type p53 markedly suppressed BCRP activity and enhanced the chemosensitivity of cells to mitoxantrone, whereas mutant p53 had little inhibitory effect. After inhibition of NF-kappaB, similar results were obtained. Following knockdown of endogenous p53, BCRP and p50 expressions were increased, and the chemosensitivity of the cells to mitoxantrone was decreased. We conclude that wild-type p53 acts as a negative regulator of BCRP gene transcription.
