Studies on the clinical importance of the expression of genes abcb1, abcc1, and lrp and/or proteins ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP in ALs

Author Method Sample Results/conclusions
Dhooge et al. (1999) 74 Immunohistochemistry de novo ALL (n = 102) and relapse ALL (n = 35) The expression of protein ABCB1 negatively influenced the prognosis, especially in de novo ALL cases
Wutcher et al. (2000) 75 Flow cytometry ALL (n = 102) and AML (n = 121) The expression of protein ABCB1 did not negatively influence the prognosis
Fujimaki et al. (2002) 73 Flow cytometry and RT‐PCR ALL (n = 18) and AML (n = 26) The expression of gene and protein ABCB1 was more significant in AML patients, mainly in relapse cases. The expression of protein ABCC1 did not show clinical correlation
Schaich et al. (2004) 76 RT‐PCR De novo or secondary AML (n = 331) The expression of ABCB1 and ABCC1 negatively influenced full disease remission after treatment, while LRP did not negatively influence the prognosis
Suarez et al. (2004) 77 Flow cytometry De novo AML (n = 90) The expression of ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP did not negatively influence the prognosis
Valera et al. (2004) 78 RT‐PCR ALL (n = 30) Among the evaluation of proteins ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP, only LRP negatively influence the prognosis
Benderra et al. (2005) 79 Flow cytometry De novo AML (n = 85) The expression of ABCB1 was shown to influence treatment failure
Olson et al. (2005) 80 Flow cytometry Initial ALL (n = 295) The overexpression of ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP to diagnostics did not influence treatment failure
Anuchapreeda et al. (2006) 81 RT‐PCR ALL (n = 61) and AML (n = 14) The expression of gene abcb1 was statistically similar in patients with relapse and patients who responded to treatment
Huh et al. (2006) 82 Nested RT‐PCR ALL (n = 32) and AML (n = 39) The expression of ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP influenced full remission and the survival rate in AL patients, especially ABCB1 and LRP
Styczynski et al. (2007) 83 Flow cytometry Initial ALL (n = 527), relapse ALL (n = 104), initial AML (n = 133), and relapse AML (n = 23) The expression of ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP represented an adverse prognostic factor with relevance in de novo ALL cases
Yasunami et al. (2007) 64 Flow cytometry and real‐time RT‐PCR ALL‐T (n = 11) Among the evaluation of proteins ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP, only LRP showed increased expression and function
Fedasenka et al. (2008) 84 Real‐time RT‐PCR Pre‐B ALL with differentiated responses to CT (n = 19) The expression of ABCC1 and LRP did not have a direct relation with minimum residual disease
Figueiredo‐pontes et al. (2008) 85 Flow cytometry De novo AML CD34+ (n = 26) The overexpression of ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP in more immature leukemia cell strains influenced treatment failure
Grotel et al. (2008) 86 Flow cytometry and real‐time RT‐PCR ALL‐T (n = 72) The expression of ABCB1, ABCC1, and LRP to diagnosis, in all cut‐offs adopted, did not negatively influence prognosis
Svirnovski et al. (2009) 87 Flow cytometry and RT‐PCR ALL (n = 65), relapse ALL (n = 42), AML (n = 53), and relapse AML (n = 16) There was no significant difference between the expression of gene abcb1 and protein ABCB1 in patients with de novo and recently diagnosed AL
El‐Sharnouby et al. (2010) 88 RT‐PCR All (n = 34) The expression of ABCC1 and LRP were associated with poorer outcomes and worse two‐year survival
Chauhan et al. (2012) 89 Real‐time RT‐PCR ALL (n = 40) and AML (n = 45) High expression of ABCB1 in AML and ABCC1 in ALL was associated with poor response to induction chemotherapy
Scheiner et al. (2012) 90 Flow cytometry AML (n = 109) ABCB1 expression did not show an impact on the response to remission induction therapy

ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia; ALL‐T, acute lymphoblastic leukemia of lymphocytes T; Pre‐B ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia of pre‐B lymphocytes; AML, acute myeloid leukemia; CT, chemotherapy; RT‐PCR, reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction.
