Abstract
Background: The majority of cancers evolve for years before becoming symptomatic. But once symptomatic, it is often too late for the patients to be cured. It is thus of paramount importance to improve early cancer screening in the general population as well as in genetically predisposed individuals. Moreover, although there is an undeniable progress in treatments, in particular in the immuno-oncology field, there is a growing need for circulating biomarkers to monitor treatment efficacy to better impact patient health and social economics. Aim: Progastrin (PG) is abnormally released in the blood of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), as the gene coding for PG is a direct target of the WNT/β-catenin oncogenic pathway involved in tumorigenesis of many organs and activated from the very first steps of tumorigenesis, allowing the detection of PG in early stage cancers. The objective was to assess the diagnostic value of PG in a series of different types of cancers (early and advanced stages), as well as the role of PG as a circulating biomarker for treatment follow-up in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, a metastatic disease where imaging monitoring is impossible (due to the small size of lesions). Methods: Progastrin was measured in plasma EDTA samples using the ELISA cancerREAD technology. For the evaluation of PG in cancer patients, 673 samples were collected for comparison with 119 healthy volunteers. For the follow-up monitoring, patients were enrolled during management of peritoneal carcinomatosis (before or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, or surgery). The diagnostic value of PG concentrations at inclusion in 190 GI cancer patients was assessed against 80 control samples. Results: Progastrin was detected in 77% of cancer patients, all cancers combined. The diagnosis area under the ROC curve of PG was 0.9114, P < 0.0001. Sensitivity ranged from 71% (breast cancer) to 87% (skin melanoma). All the 15 different types of cancers tested were positive. Early stage detection was assessed for colorectal and breast cancers with a sensitivity of 62.5% for adenomatous polyps, and 68.2% for stage 0 and I breast cancers. Sensitivity increased up to 82% for stage II colorectal cancer and to 78% for stage II-IV breast cancers. For the follow-up of peritoneal carcinomatosis patients, median PG levels decreased whatever the GI subtype with sequential treatments from 4.4 pM at inclusion time, to 1.3 after adjuvant chemotherapy. A trend for better PFS was observed in patients with PG decline after surgery. Conclusion: Progastrin assay is a simple and inexpensive blood test exhibiting high diagnostic accuracy for multiple gastro-intestinal, gynecologic, skin cancers. It may be used for cancer screening before tumor localization. It also exhibits promising therapeutic monitoring value during treatment in advanced CRC patients. Assessment of PG value as a multitumor screening biomarker, and as a monitoring test, is ongoing.

Abstract
To depict the largest picture of a core promoter interactome, we developed a one-step DNA-affinity capture method coupled with an improved mass spectrometry analysis process focused on the identification of low abundance proteins. As a proof of concept, this method was developed through the analysis of 230 bp contained in the 5′long terminal repeat (LTR) of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1). Beside many expected interactions, many new transcriptional regulators were identified, either transcription factors (TFs) or co-regulators, which interact directly or indirectly with the HIV-1 5′LTR. Among them, the homeodomain-containing TF myeloid ectopic viral integration site was confirmed to functionally interact with a specific binding site in the HIV-1 5′LTR and to act as a transcriptional repressor, probably through recruitment of the repressive Sin3A complex. This powerful and validated DNA-affinity approach could also be used as an efficient screening tool to identify a large set of proteins that physically interact, directly or indirectly, with a DNA sequence of interest. Combined with an in silico analysis of the DNA sequence of interest, this approach provides a powerful approach to select the interacting candidates to validate functionally by classical approaches.

Abstract
This review describes the breast cancer resistance protein ABCG2 through its structure, functional roles and involvement in cell multidrug resistance, especially in cancer cells resistance to chemotherapeutics. The different types of known inhibitors are described, some being non-selective, since they also bind to other targets, and others being quite specific such as flavonoids. The different classes of active flavonoids and other polyphenols are described, some as plant natural compounds, but most of them being prepared and derivatized through medicinal chemistry. Quantitative structure-activity relationships of the ability of flavones, chalcones, xanthones, acridones and various benzopyrane/benzofurane derivatives to inhibit ABCG2-mediated drug efflux have led to pharmacophores and molecular models allowing to optimize the available hit compounds and to design new-generation lead compounds. Interestingly, inhibitory flavonoids are quite specific for ABCG2 versus ABCB1 and ABCC1, and appear either non-competitive or partially competitive towards mitoxantrone efflux. Most compounds do not inhibit ATPase activity, and are assumed not to be transported themselves by the transporter. Some acridones, firstly optimized in vitro as potent inhibitors, are indeed efficient in vivo, against human xenografts in SCID mice, more efficiently than gefitinib taken as a control. Future developments should open the way to more efficient/targeted modulators including (i) the potential interest of bimodulation by combining two different inhibitors, (ii) computer-assisted ligand-based drug design for getting more potent and more specific inhibitors, (iii) structure-based drug design from ABCG2 molecular models allowing in silico screening and docking of new inhibitors.

Abstract
The breast cancer resistance protein ABCG2 confers cellular resistance to irinotecan (CPT-11) and its active metabolite SN-38. We utilised ABCG2-expressing xenografts as a model to evaluate the ability of a non-toxic ABCG2 inhibitor to increase intracellular drug accumulation. We assessed the activity of irinotecan in vivo in SCID mice: irinotecan completely inhibited the development of control pcDNA3.1 xenografts, whilst only delaying the growth of ABCG2-expressing xenografts. Addition of MBLI-87, an acridone derivative inhibitor, significantly increased the irinotecan effect against the growth of ABCG2-expressing xenografts. In vitro, MBLI-87 was as potent as GF120918 against ABCG2-mediated irinotecan efflux, and additionally was specific for ABCG2. A significant sensitisation to irinotecan was achieved despite the fact that doses remained well below the maximum tolerated dose (due to the rather limited solubility of MBLI-87). This suggested that MBLI-87 is an excellent candidate to prevent drug efflux by ABCG2, without altering plasma concentrations of irinotecan and SN-38 after IP (intra-peritoneal) injections. This could constitute a useful strategy to improve drug pharmacology, to facilitate drug penetration into normal tissue compartments protected by ABCG2, and potentially to reverse drug resistance in cancer cells.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an important role in controlling the passage of molecules from blood to brain extracellular fluid. The multidrug efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is highly expressed in the luminal membrane of brain endothelium and contributes to the formation of a functional barrier to lipid-soluble drugs such as anticancer agents. The mdr1a P-gp-encoding gene is exclusively expressed in the rodent BBB. Primary cultures of rat brain endothelial cells and GP8.3 cells showed a dramatic decrease in mdr1a mRNA level and some expression of mdr1b mRNA. GPNT cells, derived from GP8.3 cells after transfection with a puromycin resistance gene, were chronically treated with 5 microg/mL puromycin, a P-gp substrate. Compared with rat brain endothelial cells and GP8.3 cells, GPNT cells exhibited a very high level of expression of mdr1a mRNA together with a moderate level of mdr1b mRNA expression. Accordingly, P-gp expression and activity were strongly increased. When GP8.3 and puromycin-starved GPNT cells were treated with puromycin, mdr1a expression was selectively increased. High expression of mdr1a mRNA in GPNT cells may thus be related to the chronic treatment with puromycin. We conclude that GPNT cells may be used as a valuable rat in vitro model for studying the regulation of mdr1a expression at the BBB level.

Abstract
The multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) is an ATP-binding cassette transporter involved in biliary, renal, and intestinal secretion of numerous organic anions, including endogenous compounds such as bilirubin and exogenous compounds such as drugs and toxic chemicals. Its expression can be modulated in various physiopathological situations, notably being markedly decreased during liver cholestasis and upregulated in some cancerous tissues. In addition, MRP2 levels are altered in hepatocytes in response to hormones such as glucocorticoids and to structurally unrelated drugs such as rifampicin, phenobarbital, ritonavir, and cisplatin. The chemical carcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene and chemopreventive agents such as oltipraz and sulforaphane also markedly increased MRP2 expression in liver parenchymal cells. Interestingly, most of the chemical inducers of MRP2 act on drug-metabolizing enzymes, indicating a coordinated regulation of these detoxifying proteins; cellular mechanisms involved are, at least partly, common and may be related to nuclear hormone receptors such as the pregnane X receptor. Owing to the major role played by MRP2 in elimination of drugs and endogenous compounds, modulation of its expression may lead to adverse effects or to changes in drug pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Membrane transport proteins play a major role in hepato-biliary secretion of xenobiotics. Some of them, especially OATPs and OCT1, are present at the vascular pole of hepatocytes and mediate uptake of xenobiotics into parenchymal liver cells from blood whereas others, such as P-glycoprotein and MRP2, are ABC transporters present at the canalicular domain of hepatocytes and responsible for the transmembrane passage into bile of drugs or their metabolites. Many endogenous or exogenous factors, including drug metabolizing enzyme inducers, alter expression of hepatic transporters whose activity can moreover be inhibited by various structurally-unrelated compounds. Such changes of expression and/or activity of membrane transport proteins may contribute to some drug interactions.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that proton NMR spectra of fatty acid chains in erythroleukemia K562 wild-type cells and their MDR1 counterparts show variations related to the phenotype over-expressing the P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Human lung cancer cells whose multidrug resistance (MDR) counterparts over-express the multidrug resistance-associated protein MRP1 have not yet been studied by NMR. Both P-gp and MRP1 belong to the same ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily. A comparison of NMR spectra from both these multidrug-resistance phenotypes showed that the results previously obtained on the MDR1 family are not valid for MRP1. Furthermore, flow cytofluorimetry studies with external phosphatidylserine labelling showed that P-gp and MRP1 overexpressions have strong but differentiated effects on cell lipid pools.

Abstract
Biliary elimination of endogenous compounds and xenobiotics usually requires carrier-mediated systems allowing movement across the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. The major systems implicated belong to the ATP binding cassette transporter family: P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), principally mediate the passage into the bile of cationic and anionic compounds, respectively, whereas the bile salt export pump (BSEP) handles biliary acids and also some anticancer drugs. Expression of these canalicular proteins can be altered in response to various hormones and structurally unrelated xenobiotics. Indeed, glucocorticoids up-regulate expression of both MRP2 and BSEP in rat hepatocytes, whereas insulin induces P-gp. P-gp expression is also up-regulated by numerous chemical carcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and 2-acetylaminofluorene and by some anticancer drugs, such as anthracyclins. 2-Acetylaminofluorene also induces MRP2; in addition, expression of this transporter in liver cells is increased in response to various drugs, such as the barbiturate phenobarbital, the chemopreventive agent, oltipraz and the anticancer drug, cisplatin. Most of the chemical inducers acting on canalicular transporter levels are well-known to up-regulate some hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes, suggesting a coordinate regulation of liver detoxifying proteins in response to these compounds.

Abstract
The human multidrug-resistance protein (MRP1) confers resistance to some heavy metals such as arsenic and antimony, mainly through mediating an increased cellular efflux of metal. However, it was recently suggested that arsenic, used under its trioxide derivative form as anticancer drug, is not handled by MRP1. The aim of the present study was to test this hypothesis in MRP1-overexpressing human lung tumor GLC4/Sb30 cells. Using the cytotoxicity MTT assay, GLC4/Sb30 cells were found to be 10.8-fold more resistant to arsenic trioxide (As2O3) than parental GLC4 cells. MK571, a potent inhibitor of MRP1 activity, almost totally reversed resistance of GLC4/Sb30 cells, but did not alter the sensitivity of GLC4 cells. Moreover, As2O3-loaded GLC4/Sb30 cells poorly accumulated arsenic through an increased MK571-sensitive efflux of metal. Finally, depletion of cellular glutathione levels in buthionine sulfoximine-treated GLC4/Sb30 cells was found to result in increased accumulation and reduced efflux of arsenic in cells exposed to As2O3, outlining the glutathione-dependence of MRP1-mediated transport of the metal. These results indicate that MRP1 overexpression in human tumor cells can confer resistance to As2O3, which may limit the clinical use of this anticancer drug for treatment of MRP1-positive tumors.

Abstract
Expression of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), an efflux pump contributing to biliary secretion of xenobiotics, was investigated in primary rat and human hepatocytes exposed to sulforaphane, a naturally-occurring chemopreventive agent. Northern blot indicated that sulforaphane increased MRP2 mRNA levels in primary rat hepatocytes; it also induced expression of drug metabolizing enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase A1/2 isoforms and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase in a dose-response and time-course manner similar to that observed for the upregulation of MRP2 transcripts. This sulforaphane-related increase of MRP2 mRNAs paralleled increased expression of 190 kD MRP2 protein as assessed by Western blotting; it was fully abolished by the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D. MRP2 induction was associated with increased cellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and addition of dimethyl sulfoxide, that reduced sulforaphane-related formation of ROS, and also decreased MRP2 mRNA levels in sulforaphane-treated primary rat hepatocytes; this suggests that sulforaphane-mediated production of ROS may contribute to MRP2 induction. This link between ROS and MRP2 regulation was further supported by the increase of MRP2 expression occurring in response to t-butylhydroquinone, known to regulate drug metabolizing enzymes through ROS formation. In addition to rat cells, primary human hepatocytes exposed to sulforaphane also displayed induced MRP2 expression evidenced at both mRNA and protein levels. All these observations strongly support the conclusion that the export pump MRP2 can be classified among the detoxifying proteins that are regulated by sulforaphane and that are thought to contribute, at least in part, to its anticarcinogenic properties.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) such as MRP1, MRP2 and MRP3 are membrane efflux pumps involved in multidrug resistance and handling organic anions. In the present study, MRP activity was investigated in normal mature leucocytes and CD34-positive hematopoietic cells from peripheral blood using the flow cytometric carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (CF) efflux assay. Basal and similar cellular exports of CF, an anionic fluorescent dye substrate for MRP1 and MRP2 transporters, were evidenced in lymphocytes whatever their subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20 and CD56 cells), in CD14 monocytes and in CD15 granulocytes whereas higher CF efflux was found in CD34 cells. Such outwardly-directed transports of CF were inhibited by known blockers of MRP function such as probenecid whereas the P-glycoprotein modulator verapamil did not alter the retention of the dye in the blood leukocytes. Peripheral mature blood leukocytes were moreover found to express MRP1 mRNAs and MRP1 protein as assessed by Northern-blot and Western-blot analyses, whereas MRP2 and MRP3 transcripts were not present or only at very low levels. Mature leukocytes therefore display basal constitutive MRP-related transport activity regardless of cell lineage and likely related to MRP1 expression whereas higher MRP-related efflux can be detected in peripheral CD34 hematopoietic cells.

Rat liver epithelial cells resistant to the chemical carcinogen 3MC, termed F258/3MC cells and generated by long-term exposure of parental F258 cells to the PAH, were characterized, especially with respect to expression of multidrug resistance transporters such as P-glycoprotein, MRP1 and MRP2. F258/3MC cells were found to be cross-resistant to other PAHs such as BP and dimethylbenz(a)anthracene but remained sensitive to known substrates of multidrug resistance efflux pumps such as doxorubicin and vincristine. They did not display either decreased cellular PAH accumulation or increased PAH efflux. In addition, P-glycoprotein and MRP2 mRNA levels were not, or only barely detected, in F258/3MC cells and in their parental counterparts whereas these PAH-resistant and sensitive cells showed closed levels of MRP1 mRNAs and activity. Moreover, P-gp- and MRP1-overexpressing cells were shown to display similar accumulation and efflux of BP than those found in P-gp- and MRP1-negative control cells. These data therefore suggest that multidrug resistance transporters do not contribute to PAH resistance in PAH-selected liver cells.

Abstract
Organic anion secretion by human hepatocytes was characterized using primary liver parenchymal cell cultures and the anionic fluorescent dye carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (CF). Probenecid, a well-known common blocker of the membrane transport process for anions, was shown to increase CF accumulation in primary human hepatocytes by inhibiting cellular CF efflux in a dose-dependent manner, thereby establishing the presence of an efflux system for organic anions in cultured hepatocytes. Outwardly directed transport of CF from hepatocytes was found to be temperature-dependent; it was not altered by changes in the ionic composition of the incubation medium used in efflux experiments. In addition to probenecid, various structurally and functionally unrelated xenobiotics such as glibenclamide, rifampicin, vinblastine, MK-571, indomethacin, and cyclosporin A were shown to inhibit secretion of CF by primary human hepatocytes, thus suggesting that organic anion excretion by human liver may be impaired by various drugs. Northern blot and Western blot analyses of the expression of multidrug resistance proteins (MRP), such as MRP1 and MRP2, which are known to mediate cellular outwardly directed transport of organic anions indicated that MRP2 was present at substantial levels in cultured human hepatocytes as well as in their in vivo counterparts, whereas MRP1 expression was only barely detectable. These results therefore suggest that MRP2, unlike MRP1, may contribute to the organic anion efflux system displayed by primary human hepatocytes and inhibited by a wide range of xenobiotics.

Abstract
Transport across hepatocyte plasma membranes is a key parameter in hepatic clearance and usually occurs through different carrier-mediated systems. Sinusoidal uptake of compounds is thus mediated by distinct transporters, such as Na(+)-dependent or Na(+)-independent anionic transporters and by some cationic transporters. Similarly, several membrane proteins located at the apical pole of hepatocytes have been incriminated in the excretion of compounds into the bile. Indeed, biliary elimination of anionic compounds, including glutathione S-conjugates, is mediated by MRP2, whereas bile salts are excreted by a bile salt export pump (BSEP) and Class I-P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is involved in the secretion of amphiphilic cationic drugs, whereas class II-P-gp is a phospholipid transporter. The expression of hepatic transporters and their activity are regulated in various situations, such as ontogenesis, carcinogenesis, cholestasis, cellular stress and after treatment by hormones and xenobiotics. Moreover, a direct correlation between a defect and the absence of transporter with hepatic disease has been demonstrated for BSEP, MDR3-P-gp and MRP2.

Abstract
Expression of the canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter (cMOAT), an efflux pump involved in biliary secretion of xenobiotics, was investigated in rat hepatocytes exposed to the chemopreventive agent oltipraz. Northern blotting indicated that this compound increased cMOAT mRNA levels in primary cultured hepatocytes. Such an induction of cMOAT transcripts was demonstrated to be dose-dependent and started as early as 4 h treatment; in addition, western blotting showed increased levels of 190 kDa cMOAT in oltipraz-treated primary rat hepatocytes when compared with their untreated counterparts. In contrast, administration of oltipraz to rats failed to enhance hepatic cMOAT mRNA and protein amounts whereas it was found to induce liver expression of glutathione S-transferase P1, a well-known oltipraz-regulated drug metabolizing enzyme. These data therefore suggest that cMOAT up-regulation occurring in rat hepatocytes in response to oltipraz may be restricted to in vitro situations and is therefore unlikely to be directly involved in the in vivo chemopreventive properties of oltipraz.

Abstract
Regulation of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP2) expression in response to dexamethasone (DEX) was analyzed using mainly primary rat hepatocytes. Enhanced levels of MRP2 mRNAs associated with increased amounts of a 190 kDa MRP2 were found in cultured DEX-treated hepatocytes; similarly, administration of DEX to rats (100 mg/kg, i.p.) led to a marked increase of hepatic amounts of MRP2 mRNAs. Maximal induction of MRP2 expression in DEX-treated primary hepatocytes was reached with 10(-5) M DEX, a concentration higher than that (10(-7) M) required for maximal up-regulation of tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT), a typical glucocorticoid receptor-regulated enzyme. In addition, the anti-glucocorticoid compound RU486 failed to inhibit MRP2 induction caused by DEX whereas it fully blocked that of TAT. These findings therefore demonstrate that DEX is a potent inducer of MRP2 expression in rat hepatocytes through a mechanism that seems not to involve the classical glucocorticoid receptor pathway.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) are drug efflux pumps conferring multidrug resistance to tumor cells. RU486, an antiprogestatin drug known to inhibit P-gp function, was examined for its effect on MRP activity in MRP-overexpressing lung tumor GLC4/Sb30 cells. In such cells, the antihormone compound was found to increase intracellular accumulation of calcein, a fluorescent compound transported by MRP, in a dose-dependent manner, through inhibition of cellular export of the dye; in contrast, it did not alter calcein levels in parental GLC4 cells. RU486, when used at 10 microM, a concentration close to plasma concentrations achievable in humans, strongly enhanced the sensitivity of GLC4/Sb30 cells towards two known cytotoxic substrates of MRP, the anticancer drug vincristine and the heavy metal salt potassium antimonyl tartrate. Vincristine accumulation levels were moreover up-regulated in RU486-treated GLC4/Sb30 cells. In addition, such cells were demonstrated to display reduced cellular levels of glutathione which is required for MRP-mediated transport of some anticancer drugs. These findings therefore demonstrate that RU486 can down-modulate MRP-mediated drug resistance, in addition to that linked to P-gp, through inhibition of MRP function.

Abstract
Expression of multidrug-resistance-associated protein (MRP), a drug efflux pump transporting a wide range of xenobiotics, including anti-cancer drugs and chemical carcinogens, and present at low levels in normal hepatocytes, was investigated in rat hepatoma cells. Northern-blot analysis allowed detection of high levels of MRP mRNA in rat diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinomas when compared with normal liver. Similarly, elevated expression of MRP transcripts were evidenced in 6 rat hepatoma cell lines of different origins, especially in HTC cells, that, in contrast, failed to express mRNA of the canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter (cMOAT), an efflux pump sharing numerous substrates with MRP. HTC cells were also found by Western blotting to display much higher amounts of MRP than those observed in normal hepatocytes. In contrast, the MRP gene copy number was similar both in hepatoma HTC cells and in hepatocytes, as assessed by Southern blotting. Analysis of MRP-related transport using 3 types of MRP substrates, namely, the fluorescent glutathione-bimane, the anionic dye calcein and the cationic anti-cancer drug vincristine, demonstrated that HTC cells displayed cellular efflux of these 3 compounds, an efflux strongly inhibited by MRP modulators such as indomethacin. These results indicate that MRP is over-expressed and functional in rat hepatoma cells and may therefore be included in the de-toxifying pathways that are altered during hepatocarcinogenesis and are thus thought to contribute to the known multidrug resistance of liver tumors.

Abstract
The multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) is a drug efflux membrane pump conferring multidrug resistance on tumor cells. In order to look for compounds that can lead to reversal of such a resistance, the antituberculosis compound rifampicin, belonging to the chemical class of rifamycins, was examined for its effect on MRP activity in human multidrug resistant lung cancer GLC4/ADR cells. Rifampicin was shown to increase accumulation of the MRP substrate calcein in GLC4/ADR cells in a dose-dependent manner by inhibiting its MRP-mediated efflux from the cells; it also enhanced intracellular retention of another substrate of MRP such as the anticancer drug vincristine in the resistant cells. By contrast, the antituberculosis drug did not alter cellular levels of accumulation of either calcein or vincristine in parental drug-sensitive GLC4 cells. Other rifamycins such as rifamycin B and rifamycin SV were also demonstrated to increase intracellular accumulation of calcein in GLC4/ADR cells. These results therefore indicate that rifamycins, including rifampicin, probably constitute a new chemical class of modulators down-regulating MRP-mediated drug transport.

Abstract
Cellular accumulation and efflux of the anionic fluorescent dye carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (CF) were studied in rat liver SDVI cells thought to derive from primitive bile ductules, in order to characterize carrier-related membrane transport of organic anions in epithelial cells. Probenecid, a common blocker of anion transport, was found to strongly enhance CF levels in SDVI cells in a dose-dependent manner through inhibition of dye efflux. Such an outwardly-directed transport was demonstrated to be temperature-dependent and down-regulated by various metabolic inhibitors, therefore outlining its requirement for energy; it was shown to be Na+- and membrane potential-independent and inhibited by anionic drugs such as indomethacin, indoprofen and rifamycin B. These functional features are closed to those described for multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) that was furthermore demonstrated, in contrast to P-glycoprotein, to be expressed in SDVI cells and to lower CF accumulation in MRP1-overexpressing drug-resistant tumor cells. These data therefore suggest that active membrane transport of organic anions such as CF occurs in epithelial cells like cultured liver biliary SDVI cells through a MRP1-related efflux system.

Abstract
Cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the resistance to cytotoxic heavy metals remain largely to be characterized in mammalian cells. To this end, we have analyzed a metal-resistant variant of the human lung cancer GLC4 cell line that we have selected by a step-wise procedure in potassium antimony tartrate. Antimony-selected cells, termed GLC4/Sb30 cells, poorly accumulated antimony through an enhanced cellular efflux of metal, thus suggesting up-regulation of a membrane export system in these cells. Indeed, GLC4/Sb30 cells were found to display a functional overexpression of the multidrug resistance-associated protein MRP1, a drug export pump, as demonstrated by Western blotting, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and calcein accumulation assays. Moreover, MK571, a potent inhibitor of MRP1 activity, was found to markedly down-modulate resistance of GLC4/Sb30 cells to antimony and to decrease cellular export of the metal. Taken together, our data support the conclusion that overexpression of functional MRP1 likely represents one major mechanism by which human cells can escape the cytotoxic effects of heavy metals.

Abstract
Expression of multidrug resistance (mdr) genes encoding the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) drug efflux pump was analysed in cultured rat liver epithelial cells acutely treated by the DNA-damaging agent methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Exposure to this alkylating agent used at 30 microg/ml for 12 or 24 h was shown to enhance mdr mRNA levels in rat liver cells without alteration of cell viability. Induction of mdr transcripts occurred through increased expression of the mdr1b gene as indicated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis using rat mdr gene-specific primers and was not associated with up-regulation of cytochrome P-450 1A1, thereby suggesting that this detoxifying enzyme and P-gp were not coordinately regulated by MMS. In addition, the DNA-damaging agent was found to enhance in a dose-dependent manner cellular efflux of the P-gp substrate rhodamine 123, which was inhibited by the P-gp inhibitor verapamil, thus providing evidence that exposure to MMS led to increased P-gp-related drug transport in rat liver cells. The up-regulation of functional P-gp expression occurring in MMS-treated liver cells may be interpreted as a part of the cellular response to DNA damage.

Abstract
CD34+ acute myeloid leukemias generally respond poorly to chemotherapy when compared to CD34- myeloid leukemias. In order to contribute to the analysis of the mechanisms involved in this drug resistance, expression and activity of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), two drug efflux pumps conferring multidrug resistance, have been investigated in the CD34+ KG1a leukemic myeloid cell line and in two CD34- K562 and HL60 leukemic myeloid cell lines. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and dye efflux assays revealed that KG1a cells express P-gp but not MRP whereas neither P-gp nor MRP were detected in K562 and HL60 cells. In addition, KG1a cells were demonstrated to display resistance to anticancer drug substrates for P-gp such as vincristine and daunorubicin and to poorly accumulate vincristine. These results indicated that P-gp, in contrast to MRP, is expressed and functional in the drug-resistant CD34+ KG1a cell line, that may constitute a useful cellular model to analyze the constitutive chemoresistance of CD34+ acute myeloid leukemias.

Abstract
Cysticercosis in one of the most common parasitoses in the world but is rare in France. This is the case of a thirty two years old man who had a stroke which revealed a neurocysticercosis, the diagnosis of which appeared on CT-scan. MR-imaging gave a more precise topographical diagnosis of the cysticercosis lesions and allowed a physiopathological understanding of the stroke. The ischemic lesion in the lenticulostriate territory was due to cysts in the sylvian fissure at the level of the beginning of those arteries with a perilesional inflammatory reaction. We learned the link between cysticercosis and stroke studing the cases reported in the literature.

Abstract
The authors report the case of a labial embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of a baby. This appears to be an exceptional localization. The study of the first biopsy which was too superficial leads to the thought of a capillary angioma. At the age of 6 months the lesion is 35 mm in diameter, a lobulated formation, typically botryoid. The excision after a frozen section control was in healthy tissue. At the age of 10 months, there is a local relapse with a nodule of 18 mm with left submandibular lymph nodes. A second surgical operation allows the culture of the tumoral tissue. The conventional histopathological examinations shows the aspect of an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. On the ultrastructural examination one can visualize in some cells an intracytoplasmic filamentous material. The cellular proliferation in culture, after May Grunwald Giemsa coloration is monomorphous, spindle shaped and of fibroblastic aspect. The ultrastructural study of this cellular proliferation after trypsinization on the 7th day shows some cells including an intracytoplasmic filamentous material. On the data of the cellular culture, the ultrastructural studies and the review of the literature, the authors discuss the possibility of the relationship between the cells of embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas and the fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. Embryonal sarcoma seems to be a better denomination than embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, as regards the histogenesis.
