Abstract excerpt
The expression of multidrug-resistant protein-3 (MRP3), a membrane-bound transporter, has been linked to drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Recently, we reported that NRF2 gene (NFE2L2) mutations are correlated with poor prognosis for lung squamous cell carcinomas. We hypothesized that tumor MRP3 expression may be correlated with the mutation status of upstream regulators, including NRF2, in...
