ABSTRACT ABCG2 is recognized as an important efflux transporter in clinical pharmacology and is potentially important in resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. To identify epigenetic mechanisms regulating ABCG2 mRNA expression at its 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR), we performed 3′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends with the S1 parental colon cancer cell line and its drug-resistant ABCG2-overexpressing counterpart. We found that the 3′UTR is >1,500 bp longer in parental cells and, using the miRBase TARGETs database, identified a putative microRNA (miRNA) binding site, distinct from the recently reported hsa-miR520h site, in the portion of the 3′UTR missing from ABCG2 mRNA in the resistant cells. We hypothesized that the binding of a putative miRNA at the 3′UTR of ABCG2 suppresses the expression of ABCG2. In resistant S1MI80 cells, the miRNA cannot bind to ABCG2 mRNA because of the shorter 3′UTR, and thus, mRNA degradation and/or repression on protein translation is relieved, contributing to overexpression of ABCG2. This hypothesis was rigorously tested by reporter gene assays, mutational analysis at the miRNA binding sites, and forced expression of miRNA inhibitors or mimics. The removal of this epigenetic regulation by miRNA could be involved in the overexpression of ABCG2 in drug-resistant cancer cells.
