We investigated the localization and functional expression of the ABC transporter ABCB1 in human fetal neural stem/progenitor cells (hNSPCs). RT-PCR analysis revealed ABCB1 gene expression in hNSPCs. We found a single band in immunoblotted hNSPCs lysates probed with ABCB1 antibody, and detected ABCB1 at the hNSPCs cell membrane by immunocytochemistry and subcellular fractionation. ABCB1 inhibitors and substrate, and ATP-depleting agents enhanced hNSPCs' rhodamine 123 accumulation, and hNSPCs microsomes had vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity. ABCB1 and nestin expression decreased during hNSPCs differentiation, while the astroglial marker GFAP increased. ABCB1 may maintain hNSPCs in an undifferentiated state and could be a neural stem/progenitor marker.
