Cells selected for resistance to a single cytotoxic drug may become crossresistant
to a broad range of drugs with different structures and cellular
targets. This phenomenon is called multiple drug resistance (MDR). The
MDR proteins (Mdrs) are members of a highly conserved superfamily of ATPbinding
cassette transport proteins. Mdr functions as an energy-dependent
efflux pump for structurally diverse agents ranging from ions to peptides. It is
implicated in the development of the multiple drug resistance observed in
human cancer cells following prolonged chemotherapy. The classic form of
MDR is associated with an increase in the Mdr protein, but not all cases of
MDR can be attributed to a rise in Mdr levels. Mdr-1 is an apical transmembrane
protein that is an integral part of the blood-brain barrier and functions
as a drug-transport pump transporting a variety of drugs from the brain back
into the blood. In the human population, there are 15 polymorphisms in the
Mdr-1 gene.
