Special Considerations for Individual Biomarkers: P-gp
Deanna L. Kroetz, Ph.D. Department of Biopharmaceutical Sciences University of California San Francisco
Role of Transporters in Drug Response
• Absorption and efflux across the gastrointestinal tract • Biliary excretion • Urinary excretion • Movement across the blood-brain and blood-testes border • Uptake into target cells • Target for many commonly prescribed drugs

P-glycoprotein in Cancer
• Intrinsic overexpression - colon, kidney, adrenal, hepatic, and pancreatic cancers and in some leukemias. • Acquired overexpression subsequent to chemotherapy - breast tumors, ALL, AML, sarcomas and multiple myeloma. • Increased drug efflux from the tumor cells is one mechanism of resistance to multiple structurally diverse chemotherapeutic agents.
