Product Usage Information
CST recommends transfection with 100 nM SignalSilence® MDR1/ABCB1 siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.

Product Description
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Background
MDR1/ABCB1 belongs to the Mdr/Tap subfamily of the ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily (1). Multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) serves as an efflux pump for xenobiotic compounds with broad substrate specificity. MDR1 substrates include therapeutic agents such as actinomycin D, etoposide, imatinib, and doxorubicin, as well as endogenous molecules including β-amyloids, steroid hormones, lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol, and cytokines (2). Research studies have shown that MDR1 reduces drug accumulation in cancer cells, allowing the development of drug resistance (3-5). On the other hand, MDR1 expressed in the plasma membrane of cells in the blood-brain, blood-cerebral spinal fluid, or blood-placenta barriers restricts the permeability of drugs into these organs from the apical or serosal side (6,7). MDR1 is also expressed in normal tissues with excretory function such as small intestine, liver, and kidney (7). Intracellular MDR1 has been detected in the ER, vesicles, and nuclear envelope, and has been associated with cell trafficking machinery (8). Other reported functions of MDR1 include viral resistance, cytokine trafficking (9,10), and lipid homeostasis in the peripheral and central nervous system (11-13).
