OBJECTIVE Multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) are ATP-binding cassette transporters that mediate the efflux of a broad spectrum of substances and xenobiotics from cells in barrier organs. Interestingly, they are expressed in immune cells including some kinds of dendritic cells (DCs). In the present study, the expressions and activities of MDR1 and MRP1 in mouse lung DCs (LDCs) were investigated. METHODS We purified LDCs comprising ~98% MHC-Class II(+)/CD11c(+) cells using magnetic and flow cytometric cell sorting. The highly purified LDCs expressed MDR1 and MRP1 at both the mRNA and protein levels. The fluorescent probes rhodamine 123 and Fluo-3 were used as substrates in efflux assays to measure the transport activities of MDR1 and MRP1, respectively. RESULTS MDR1 blockade by the specific inhibitor verapamil reduced the percentage of rhodamine 123(low) cells in LDCs (from 31.8±6.3% to 11.8±2.8%, p<0.02). MRP1 blockade by the specific inhibitor MK-571 reduced the percentage of Fluo-3(low) cells in LDCs (from 53.8±1.7% to 26.8±6.4%, p<0.03). CONCLUSIONS These data showed that LDCs exhibited MDR1- and MRP1-mediated efflux activities. MDR1 and MRP1 in LDCs may be involved in protective functions through their efflux activities.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
