Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim of this retrospective study was to comparatively investigate the expression of the three drug-resistance genes P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug-resistance protein 1 (MRP1), and lung resistance protein (LRP), in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, and to assess possible associations with clinicopathologic features. METHODS: Tumor specimens from 126 patients were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and, in selected cases, by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and data were statistically analyzed by SPSS. RESULTS: The mean expression levels of tumor tissues in the case of P-gp and LRP did not exceed the one of normal epithelia, while MRP1 was significantly enhanced in NSCLC. A weak association was observed between higher grading and P-glycoprotein expression (p
