Tumor cells develop multidrug resistance during chemotherapy.An attractive strategy to overcome this resistance is to suppress P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is overproduced in cancer cells to pump cytotoxic drugs from cells.In the present study,we found that the Ca2+-permeable channel TRPC5 was overproduced together with P-gp in the adriamy-cin-resistant breast cancer cell line MCF-7/ADM.Suppressing TRPC5 activity/expression reduced the P-gp induction and caused a remarkable reversal of adriamycin resistance in these cells.
