Resistance of cancer cells to many anticancer drugs is known to be mediated by
P-glycoprotein and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), which are members of the
adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of transporter proteins. However,
cancer cells exhibiting resistance to the drug mitoxantrone frequently do not overex-press these
proteins. Ross et al. (p. 429) studied expression of the messenger RNA
(mRNA) for a recently described member of the ABC transporter family, i.e., breast cancer
resistance protein (BCRP), in a variety of mitoxantrone-selected cancer cell lines and found
