Mechanisms of chemoresistance type 1 (MOC-1) in colorectal cancer.

Protein Change Drugs Affected Consequences References
Uptake Transporters (MOC-1a)
OATP1B1 GV (OATP1B1*15 haplotype) Irinotecan, Methotrexate Lower response in vitro and in patients [11,15,16,18,19]
OATP1B3 GV (Cancer-type) Irinotecan Reduced PFS [21,22,23]
OATP1A2 Downregulation Imatinib, Methotrexate Reduced drug uptake [16,27]
OCT1 Downregulation Imatinib, Doxorubicin Lower sensitivity in vitro; lower clinical response [32,33,34,35]
OCT3 Impaired expression Irinotecan, Imatinib, Cisplatin, 5-FU, FOLFOX Lower clinical response [38,39]
OCTN2 GV (rs2631367, rs2631372) Imatinib, Etoposide Lower sensitivity in vitro [38,42,43,44]
CTR1 Downregulation Cisplatin Lower sensitivity in vitro [60]
Efflux transporters (MOC-1b)
MDR1 Upregulation Doxorubicin, Etoposide, Irinotecan Lower sensitivity in vitro [47]
MRP1 Upregulation Doxorubicin, Etoposide, 5-FU, Oxaliplatin Lower sensitivity in vitro [61,62]
MRP2 Upregulation Cisplatin Lower sensitivity in vitro [56]
MRP3 Upregulation Doxorubicin, Etoposide Lower sensitivity in vitro [63]
MRP4 GV (rs3742106) 5-FU, Capecitabine Lower clinical response [64]
MRP5 Upregulation 5-FU, Methotrexate Lower sensitivity in vitro [65]
BCRP GV (rs2231137, rs2231142) Irinotecan Lower sensitivity in vitro; Lower clinical response [66,67]
ATP7B Upregulation Oxaliplatin Poor clinical outcome [68]
ABCA9 GV Oxaliplatin Reduced OS and response [69]
LRP Upregulation Doxorubicin, Etoposide Lower sensitivity in vitro [70,71]

5-FU: 5-fluorouracil; FOLFOX: leucovorin (folinic acid), 5-FU, and oxaliplatin regimen; GV: genetic variant; OS: overall survival; PFS: progression-free survival.
