Key Role of Human ABC Transporter ABCG2 in Photodynamic Therapy and Photodynamic Diagnosis by Toshihisa Ishikawa, Hiroshi Nakagawa, Yuichiro Hagiya, Naosuke Nonoguchi, Shin-ichi Miyatake, Toshihiko Kuroiwa

“…On the other hand, Nrf2, an NF-E2-related transcription factor, has been shown to be involved in oxidative stress-mediated induction of the ABCG2 gene. Since patients have demonstrated individual differences in their response to photodynamic therapy, transcriptional activation and/or genetic polymorphisms of the ABCG2 gene in cancer cells may affect patients' responses to photodynamic therapy. …”
