MRP3 is an ABC transporter that is able to confer resistance to anticancer agents such as etoposide and to transport lipophilic anions such as bile acids and glucuronides. These capabilities, along with the induction of MRP3 protein on hepatocyte sinusoidal membranes in cholestasis, and expression of MRP3 in enterocytes, have led to the hypotheses that MRP3 may function in the body to protect normal tissues from etoposide, to protect cholestatic hepatocytes from endobiotics and to facilitate bile acid reclamation from the gut. To elucidate the role of Mrp3 in these processes the Mrp3 gene (Abcc3) was disrupted by homologous recombination. Homozygous null animals were healthy and physically indistinguishable from wild-type mice. Mrp3-/- mice did not exhibit enhanced lethality to etoposide phosphate, although analysis of transfected HEK293 cells indicated that the potency of murine Mrp3 towards etoposide (~2.0-2.5-fold) is comparable to that of human MRP3. Following induction of cholestasis by bile duct ligation, Mrp3-/- mice had 1.5-fold higher levels of liver bile acids and 3.1-fold lower levels of serum bilirubin glucuronide compared to ligated wild-type mice, whereas significant differences were not observed between the respective sham-operated mice. Bile acid excretion, pool size and fractional turnover rates were similar in Mrp3-/- and wild-type mice. We conclude that Mrp3 functions as an alternative route for the export of bile acids and glucuronides from cholestatic hepatocytes, that the pump does not play a major role in the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids, and that the lack of chemosensitivity is likely attributable to functional redundancy with other pumps.
