Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious handicap towards the effective treatment of breast cancer patients. One of the most prevalent MDR mechanisms is through the overexpression of genes coding the proteins called Multidrug Resistance-associated Proteins (MRPs). The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of MRP1 in tumor tissues from breast cancer patients. In this study, a semi-quantitative RT-PCR approach was utilized. Our results suggest that MRP1 overexpression can mediate MDR in patients. Pre-evaluation of the level of such MDR mediators before chemotherapy can increase the efficacy of the treatment.

Multidrug resistance in locally advanced breast cancer Atalay, Can; Gurhan, Ismet Deliloglu; Irkkan, Cigdem; Gündüz, Ufuk (2006-01-01) Background: Advanced breast cancer cases can still be encountered resulting in poor prognosis. The primary treatment for these patients is chemotherapy, and multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious obstacle in the treatment. Detecting drug resistance before first-line chemotherapy may increase the patient's survival. In this study, the role of MDR is evaluated in locally advanced breast cancer patients. Methods: Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used for the detection of MDR genes, ABCB1 an...
Nuclear Deformability of Breast Cells Analyzed from Patients with Malignant and Benign Breast Diseases Antmen, Ezgi; Ermiş Şen, Menekşe; Kuren, Ozgur; Beksac, Kemal; Irkkan, Cigdem; HASIRCI, Vasıf Nejat (2023-03-13) Breast cancer is a heterogeneous and dynamic disease, in which cancer cells are highly responsive to alterations in the microenvironment. Today, conventional methods of detecting cancer give a rather static image of the condition of the disease, so dynamic properties such as invasiveness and metastasis are difficult to capture. In this study, conventional molecular-level evaluations of the patients with breast adenocarcinoma were combined with in vitro methods on micropatterned poly(methyl methacrylate) (PM...
Upregulation of multi drug resistance genes in doxorubicin resistant human acute myelogeneous leukemia cells and reversal of the resistance BARAN, YUSUF; Guer, Bala; Kaya, Pelin; Ural, Ali Ugur; Avcu, Ferit; Gündüz, Ufuk (2007-12-01) The major problem in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients results from multidrug resistance to administered anticancer agents. Drug resistance proteins, MDR1 and MRP1, which work as drug efflux pumps, can mediate the multidrug resistance of human leukemia cells. In this study, the mechanisms of resistance to doxorubicin-induced cell death in human HL60 AML cells were examined.
Overexpressed genes/ESTs and characterization of distinct amplicons on 17q23 in breast cancer cells Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; DEMERS, SK; ROUILLARD, JM; HANASH, SM; PETTY, EM (Elsevier BV, 2001-11-01) 17q23 is a frequent site of gene amplification in breast cancer. Several lines of evidence suggest the presence of multiple amplicons on 17q23. To characterize distinct amplicons on 17q23 and localize putative oncogenes, we screened genes and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in existing physical and radiation hybrid maps for amplification and overexpression in breast cancer cell lines by semiquantitative duplex PCR, semiquantitative duplex RT-PCR, Southern blot, and Northern blot analyses. We identified two d...
Nanoparticles Based Drug Delivery Systems to Overcome Multidrug Resistance in Cancer The Role of Membrane Lipids Proteins and Carbohydrates Özlüer, Özlem; Yalçın Azarkan, Serap; Gündüz, Ufuk (null; 2016-09-28) Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major problem in success of cancer chemotherapy on tumor cell growth, limits the prolonged and effective use of chemotherapy. The use of nanomaterial based drug carriers in cancer treatment offers exciting opportunities to enhance delivery of therapeutics to the tumor site (1). This is also known as targeted drug delivery providing differential distribution of drugs to the tumor site while significantly reducing the overall toxicity. Here, we critically discuss the role of th...
