Suppressing GCS with siRNA or a GCS inhibitor, 1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (PDMP), down-regulates the expression and function of P-gp in human breast cancer cells [18]; however, inhibition of GCS by other types of GCS inhibitors (N-butyl-deoxygalactonojirimycin, OGB-1; N-nonyl-deoxygalactonojirimycin, OGB2) did not appear to have any effect on P-gp functional activity in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, even though OGB-1 and OGB2 sensitized these cells [46]. The gene discussed is PGP; the disease is breast carcinoma.
