- Target background: AGR3 (Anterior Gradient 3) is a human homologue of the XAG-2 protein expressed in Xenopus laevis, which was identified in a study analyzing mRNA expression in ER-positive breast cancer-derived cell lines. The coding sequence of the AGR3 protein is located on the chromosome at position 7p21. AGR3 expression in ovarian cancer is independent of oestrogen-receptor expression, which is distinct from the oestrogen-receptor dependent expression of AGR3 in breast cancers. Isogenic cancer cell models were created that over-express AGR3 and these demonstrated that AGR3 mediates cisplatin-resistance in mouse xenografts. These data indicate that AGR3 is over-expressed by a hormone (oestrogen-receptor ?)-independent mechanism and identify a novel protein-folding associated pathway that could mediate resistance to DNA-damaging agents in human cancers.
