Multi-drug resistance (MDR) phenotype contributes to the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy. P-glycoprotein (PgP) and lung resistance protein (LRP) are proteins implicated in chemoresistance. We analysed the expression of PgP and LRP respectively in 17 and 15 cases of lymphoproliferative disease of granular lymphocytes (LDGL) including 10 cases of clonal large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukaemia, six cases of oligoclonal (n = 5) and polyclonal (n = 1) CD3+ lymphoproliferation and one case of CD3- NK lymphocytosis. Functional PgP activity, as determined by Rh123 dye efflux assay, was found in all the patients. The mean percentage of effluxing cells was 47 +/- 22%, compared to 35 +/- 8% on normal lymphocytes (P<0.04). The efflux was blocked in the presence of verapamil, a PgP revertant agent. A high proportion of CD57+ cells (66 +/- 10%) from these patients expelled Rh123. Functional PgP activity was associated with expression of MDR1 mRNA. By using immunocytochemistry, LRP expression was detected in 11/15 patients (73%). 7/10 LGL leukaemia patients presented a LRP+/Efflux+ phenotype and 5/7 had LRP+/Efflux+/MDR1 mRNA+ phenotype. These findings suggest that the PgP+/LRP+ phenotype is frequently observed in LDGL. Its clinical relevance in aggressive cases remains to be determined.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.
