Effect of oxidative stress on ABC transporters: contribution to epilepsy pharmacoresistance [PDF]
, 2017 Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting around 1%-2% of population worldwide and its treatment includes use of antiepileptic drugs to control seizures. Failure to respond to antiepileptic drug therapy is a major clinical problem and over expression

In vitro transport of methotrexate by Drosophila Multidrug Resistance-associated Protein. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Methotrexate (MTX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, immune suppressant and antimalarial drug. It is a substrate of several human ABC proteins that confer multidrug resistance to cancer cells and determine compartmentalization of a wide range of ...

Multidrug resistance associated protein 1 protects against bilirubin‐induced cytotoxicity [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2006 We have shown that multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1) mediates ATP‐dependent extrusion of bilirubin, possibly limiting its potentially toxic accumulation in cells. To determine directly if Mrp1 protects cells against unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) toxicity, mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF) were isolated from Mrp1 knockout (−/−) mice and their

Functional characterization and discovery of modulators of SbMATE, the agronomically important aluminium tolerance transporter from Sorghum bicolor. [PDF]
, 2017 About 50% of the world's arable land is strongly acidic (pH ≤ 5). The low pH solubilizes root-toxic ionic aluminium (Al3+) species from clay minerals, driving the evolution of counteractive adaptations in cultivated crops.

Understanding cisplatin resistance using cellular models [PDF]
, 2007 Many mechanisms of cisplatin resistance have been proposed from studies of cellular models of resistance including changes in cellular drug accumulation, detoxification of the drug, inhibition of apoptosis and repair of the DNA adducts.
