BACKGROUND/AIM: The ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 5 (ABCB5) transporter plays a pivotal role in melanocyte progenitor cell fusion and has been identified as a tumor-initiating cell marker. In this study, we determined ABCB5 expression in normal tissues among various species, i.e., Homo sapiens, Mus musculus (mouse), Rattus norvegicus (rat), Sus scrofa domesticus (pig), Gallus gallus (chicken), Anser anser (goose), Poecilia reticulata (Guppy fish), and Lumbricus terrestris (earthworm), as well as 426 biopsies of different human tumor types (colorectal, cervical, endometrium, vaginal, nasopharyngeal, kidney, breast, colon, prostate, pancreas, lung, gallbladder, bladder, brain, liver, skin, small intestine, testis, tonsil, uterus, thyroid, stomach, esophagus, fallopian, parotid, and ovary).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using immunohistochemical staining, ABCB5 expression was detected and evaluated in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections.
RESULTS: High ABCB5 expression was found in normal tissues in specialized cells with secretory and excretory functions, chorionic villi of the placenta, hepatocytes, and blood-tissue barrier sites in the brain and testis. Besides, heterogeneous expression of ABCB5 was also observed in many different tumor types derived from breast, endometrium, ovary, uterus, cervix, prostate, lung, brain, colon, liver, nasopharynx, and others.
CONCLUSION: The localization of ABCB5 in different normal tissues suggests that this protein has an excretory pumping role for physiological metabolites and xenobiotics. This physiological role highlighted its possible impact on the development of multidrug resistance in tumors. Further studies are required to establish the possible clinical significance of ABCB5 as a predictive marker for drug resistance and as a prognostic marker for patient survival.
