ABCG2 membrane transporter in mature human erythrocytes is exclusively homodimer.

Abstract:

:The human ABCG2 protein, a member of ABC transporter family, was shown to transport anti-cancer drugs and normal cell metabolites. Earlier studies have demonstrated the expression of ABCG2 in hematopoietic stem cells and erythroid cells; however little is known about the expression and activity of ABCG2 in mature erythrocytes. In this report, we show that ABCG2 in mature human erythrocytes migrates with an apparent molecular mass of 140 kDa, under reducing conditions, on Fairbanks SDS gel system. In contrast, tumor cells expressing higher levels of ABCG2 show no detectable homodimers, when resolved under identical reducing conditions. Analysis of the same membrane extracts from tumor cells and human erythrocytes on Laemmli SDS gel system, where samples are boiled in the presence of increasing concentrations of disulfide reducing conditions and then analyzed, migrate with an apparent molecular mass of 70 kDa or a monomer. Drug transport studies using Pheophorbide A, a substrate of ABCG2, show the protein to be active in erythrocytes. Furthermore, Fumitremorgin C, a specific inhibitor of ABCG2 increases the accumulation of Pheophorbide A in erythrocytes and drug-resistant cells but not in the parental drug-sensitive cells. Given the ability of ABCG2 to transport protoprophyrin IX or heme, these findings may have implications on the normal function of erythrocytes.
