Abstract
Class III multidrug resistance P-glycoproteins, Mdr2 in mice and MDR3 in human, are canalicular phospholipid translocators involved in biliary phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine) excretion. The role of an ABCB4 gene defect in liver disease has been initially proven in a subtype of progressive familia...

Abstract
In many instances, multidrug resistance (MDR) is mediated by increasing the expression at the cell surface of the MDR1 gene product, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a 170-kD energy-dependent efflux pump. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential benefit of combination therapy with magnetic Fe(3)...

We established the rat astrocyte model overexpressing P-gp induced by coriaria lactone and successfully nucleofected it with the siRNA-hairpin expression vector pSIREN-shuttle designed to target MDR-1B mRNA. The mRNA expression of MDR-1B gene was mostly knock down by 67.70% (p<0.01). The expression...

pSUPER-shRNA/mdr1 was successfully constructed, which was confirmed by sequencing. The MDR phenotype of HepG2/mdr1 was decreased significantly in vitro transfection. HepG2/mdr1 showing its MDR was reversed notably in P-gp expression (11.0% vs 98.2%, P<0.01). Real-time PCR showed that mRNA/mdr1 was l...
