Dendritic cells require multidrug resistance protein 1 (ABCC1) transporter activity for differentiation
Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) express the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1; ABCC1). Functionally, both these transporters have been described to be required for efficient DC and T cell migration. In this study, we report that MRP1 activity is also crucial for differentiation of DC. Inhibition of MRP1, but not P-glycoprotein, transporter activity with specific antagonists during in vitro DC differentiation interfered with early DC development. Impaired interstitial and Langerhans DC differentiation was characterized by 1) morphological changes, reflected by dropped side scatter levels in flow cytometric analysis and 2) phenotypic changes illustrated by maintained expression of the monocytic marker CD14, lower expression levels of CD40, CD86, HLA-DR, and a significant decrease in the amount of cells expressing CD1a, CD1c, and Langerin. Defective DC differentiation also resulted in their reduced ability to stimulate allogeneic T cells. We identified the endogenous CD1 ligands sulfatide and monosialoganglioside GM1 as MRP1 substrates, but exogenous addition of these substrates could not restore the defects caused by blocking MRP1 activity during DC differentiation.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.
