Simple SummaryMultidrug resistance of neoplastic cells to chemotherapeutic drugs is a phenomenon mediated by several molecular mechanisms. Among these, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) counteract the intracellular load of multiple drugs, preventing their efficacy. The basal (intrinsic) cellular expression can be further stimulated by drug exposure. P-gp and BCRP are a subject of intense investigation both in human and veterinary oncology since a better understanding of how their expression is distributed across different tumors allows planning alternative therapeutic strategies. In canine mammary carcinomas, a phenotypic classification similar to the one widely adopted for breast cancer is currently employed. For Basal- and Normal-like phenotypes, chemotherapy is still the main option. In this study, we observed that canine mammary carcinomas bear a high intrinsic expression of both P-gp and BCRP, regardless of their molecular phenotype, and their presence does not influence the outcome.P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) are major actors in multidrug resistance (MDR) phenomenon in both human and canine mammary carcinomas (CMCs). The aim of this study was to investigate an association between the intrinsic expression of P-gp and BCRP compared to the immunophenotypes and outcome in CMCs. Fifty CMCs were evaluated at immunohistochemistry (IHC) for P-gp, BCRP, Estrogen receptor alpha (ER), Progesterone receptors (PR), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor type 2 (HER2), basal cytokeratins 5/6 (CK5/6), Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 1 (EGFR), and Ki67 proliferation index. P-gp and BCRP positive cases were, respectively, 52% and 74.5%, with a significantly higher expression of BCRP than P-gp. Five immunophenotypes were defined in 37 out of 50 CMCs: 9 (24.3%) Luminal A, 5 (13.5%) Luminal B, 9 (24.3%) HER2 overexpressing, 9 (24.3%) Triple-negative basal-like, and 5 (13.5%) Triple-negative non-basal-like. In all CMCs at least one marker was expressed. Follow-up data were available for 25 animals. The average cancer-specific survival was 739 ± 444 days. A number of CMCs bear a high expression of P-gp and BCRP but no significant association was found between their expression and the immunophenotypes, Ki67 index, the histological grade, and tumor-related death.
