Physiologically based pharmacokinetics modeling and transporter proteomics to predict systemic and local liver and muscle disposition of statins.

Abstract
Statins are used to reduce liver cholesterol levels but also carry a dose-related risk of skeletal muscle toxicity. Concentrations of statins in plasma are often used to assess efficacy and safety, but because statins are substrates of membrane transporters that are present in diverse tissues, local differences in intracellular tissue concentrations cannot be ruled out. Thus, plasma concentration may not be an adequate indicator of efficacy and toxicity. To bridge this gap, we used physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling to predict intracellular concentrations of statins. Quantitative data on transporter clearance were scaled from in vitro to in vivo conditions by integrating targeted proteomics and transporter kinetics data. The developed PBPK models, informed by proteomics, suggested that organic anion-transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) play a pivotal role in the distribution of statins in muscle. Using these PBPK models, we were able to predict the impact of alterations in transporter function due to genotype or drug-drug interactions on statin systemic concentrations and exposure in liver and muscle. These results underscore the potential of proteomics-guided PBPK modeling to scale transporter clearance from in vitro data to real-world implications. It is important to evaluate the role of drug transporters when predicting tissue exposure associated with on- and off-target effects.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and the development of resistance to chemotherapy drugs is a major challenge in treating malignancies. In recent years, researchers have focused on understanding the mechanisms of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells and have identified the overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, including ABCC1/MRP1 and ABCC10/MRP7, as a key factor in the development of MDR. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether three drugs (sertraline, fluoxetine, and citalopram) from the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) family, commonly used as antidepressants, could be repurposed as inhibitors of MRP1 and MRP7 transporters and reverse MDR in cancer cells. Using a combination of in silico predictions and in vitro validations, we analyzed the interaction of MRP1 and MRP7 with the drugs and evaluated their ability to hinder cell resistance. We used computational tools to identify and analyze the binding site of these three molecules and determine their binding energy. Subsequently, we conducted experimental assays to assess cell viability when treated with various standard chemotherapies, both with and without the presence of SSRI inhibitors. Our results show that all three SSRI drugs exhibited inhibitory/reversal effects in the presence of chemotherapies on both MRP1-overexpressed cells and MRP7-overexpressed cells, suggesting that these medications have the potential to be repurposed to target MDR in cancer cells. These findings may open the door to using FDA-approved medications in combination therapy protocols to treat highly resistant malignancies and improve the efficacy of chemotherapy treatment. Our research highlights the importance of investigating and repurposing existing drugs to overcome MDR in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Responses to hormones that act through nuclear receptors are controlled by modulating hormone concentrations not only in the circulation but also within target tissues. The role of enzymes that amplify or reduce local hormone concentrations is well established for glucocorticoid and other lipophilic hormones; moreover, transmembrane transporters have proven critical in determining tissue responses to thyroid hormones. However, there has been less consideration of the role of transmembrane transport for steroid hormones. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins were first shown to influence the accumulation of glucocorticoids in cells almost three decades ago, but observations over the past 10 years suggest that differential transport propensities of both exogenous and endogenous glucocorticoids by ABCB1 and ABCC1 transporters provide a mechanism whereby different tissues are preferentially sensitive to different steroids. This Review summarizes this evidence and the new insights provided for the physiology and pharmacology of glucocorticoid action, including new approaches to glucocorticoid replacement.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA. BIOMEMBRANES 2022; 1864:183890. [PMID: 35181296 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2022.183890] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is one of the major bioactive components of the leguminous plant, Glycyrrhiza spp. (Chinese licorice). Owing to GA's complicated chemical structure, its production by chemical synthesis is challenging and requires other efficient strategies such as microbial synthesis. Earlier investigations employed numerous approaches to improve GA yield by refining the synthetic pathway and improving the metabolic flux. Nevertheless, the metabolic role of transporters in GA biosynthesis in microbial cell factories has not been studied so far. In this study, we investigated the role of yeast ATP binding cassette (ABC) vacuolar transporters in GA production. Molecular docking of GA and its precursors, β-Amyrin and 11-oxo-β-amyrin, was performed with five vacuolar ABC transporters (Bpt1p, Vmr1p, Ybt1p, Ycf1p and Nft1p). Based on docking scores, two top scoring transporters were selected (Bpt1p and Vmr1p) to investigate transporters' functions on GA production via overexpression and knockout experiments in one GA-producing yeast strain (GA166). Results revealed that GA and its precursors exhibited the highest predicted binding affinity towards BPT1 (ΔG = -10.9, -10.6, -10.9 kcal/mol for GA, β-amyrin and 11-oxo-β-amyrin, respectively). Experimental results showed that the overexpression of BPT1 and VMR1 restored the intracellular as well as extracellular GA production level under limited nutritional conditions, whereas knockout of BPT1 resulted in a total loss of GA production. These results suggest that the activity of BPT1 is required for GA production in engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are bioactive molecules that have key roles in regulating tumor cell death and survival through, in part, the functional roles of ceramide accumulation and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) production, respectively. Mechanistic studies using cell lines, mouse models, or human tumors have revealed crucial roles of sphingolipid metabolic signaling in regulating tumor progression in response to anticancer therapy. Specifically, studies to understand ceramide and S1P production pathways with their downstream targets have provided novel therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment. In this review, we present recent evidence of the critical roles of sphingolipids and their metabolic enzymes in regulating tumor progression via mechanisms involving cell death or survival. The roles of S1P in enabling tumor growth/metastasis and conferring cancer resistance to existing therapeutics are also highlighted. Additionally, using the publicly available transcriptomic database, we assess the prognostic values of key sphingolipid enzymes on the overall survival of patients with different malignancies and present studies that highlight their clinical implications for anticancer treatment.

Abstract
Antineoplastic uptake by blast cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) could be influenced by influx and efflux transporters, especially solute carriers (SLCs) and ATP-binding cassette family (ABC) pumps. Genetic variability in SLC and ABC could produce interindividual differences in clinical outcomes. A systematic review was performed to evaluate the influence of SLC and ABC polymorphisms and their combinations on efficacy and safety in AML cohorts. Anthracycline intake was especially influenced by SLCO1B1 polymorphisms, associated with lower hepatic uptake, showing higher survival rates and toxicity in AML studies. The variant alleles of ABCB1 were related to anthracycline intracellular accumulation, increasing complete remission, survival and toxicity. Similar findings have been suggested with ABCC1 and ABCG2 polymorphisms. Polymorphisms of SLC29A1, responsible for cytarabine uptake, demonstrated significant associations with survival and response in Asian populations. Promising results were observed with SLC and ABC combinations regarding anthracycline toxicities. Knowledge of the role of transporter pharmacogenetics could explain the differences observed in drug disposition in the blast. Further studies including novel targeted therapies should be performed to determine the influence of genetic variability to individualize chemotherapy schemes.

Abstract
The progressive neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) is accompanied by neuroinflammation and endothelial vascular impairment. Although the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in both dopamine neurons and brain endothelial cells, its role in the regulation of endothelial biology has not been explored in the context of PD. In a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD mouse model, we observed reduced transcription of the VDR and its downstream target genes, CYP24 and MDR1a. The 6-OHDA-induced transcriptional repression of these genes were recovered after the VDR ligand-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) treatment. Similarly, reduced vascular protein expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by MDR1a, after 6-OHDA administration was reversed by 1,25(OH)2D3. Moreover, marked reduction of endothelial P-gp expression with concomitant α-synuclein aggregation was found in a combinatorial AAV-αSyn/αSyn preformed fibril (PFF) injection mouse model and postmortem PD brains. Supporting the direct effect of α-synuclein aggregation on endothelial biology, PFF treatment of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was sufficient to induce α-synuclein aggregation and repress transcription of the VDR. PFF-induced P-gp downregulation and impaired functional activity in HUVECs completely recovered after 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment. Taken together, our results suggest that a dysfunctional VDR-P-gp pathway could be a potential target for the maintenance of vascular homeostasis in PD pathological conditions.

Abstract
One of the significant challenges for chemotherapy is the appearance of resistance to compounds. Although several signaling pathways have been implicated in the development of Adriamycin (ADM) resistance, mechanisms involved in ADM-resistant osteosarcoma progression remain unknown. The present study attempted to illustrate the role of long noncoding RNA ARSR (lncARSR) in the development of adapted ADM resistance. We found lncARSR overexpressed in the Adriamycin-resistant cell lines U2OS/ADM and MG63/ADM, accompanied with acquired multidrug resistance against to paclitaxel and cisplatin. Overexpression of lncARSR triggered rhodamine 123 efflux and survival, as well as the migration of Adriamycin-resistant cells. Inversely, the depletion of lncARSR promoted rhodamine 123 retention and apoptosis, while reducing the motility of ADM-resistant cells. Further investigation revealed that the upregulation of lncARSR enhanced multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP1), apoptosis inhibitor Survivin, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) through activating AKT. The reduction of lncARSR overcame the resistance to ADM in U2OS/ADM mouse model. The current study gained novel evidence for understanding the mechanisms underlying adaptive ADM resistance and provided rationales to improve clinical outcomes of refractory osteosarcoma.

Abstract
The human multidrug resistance protein 1 (hMRP1) transporter is implicated in cancer multidrug resistance as well as immune responses involving its physiologic substrate, glutathione (GSH)-conjugated leukotriene C4 (LTC4). LTC4 binds a bipartite site on hMRP1, which a recent cryoelectron microscopy structure of LTC4-bound bovine Mrp1 depicts as composed of a positively charged pocket and a hydrophobic (H) pocket that binds the GSH moiety and surrounds the fatty acid moiety, respectively, of LTC4. Here, we show that single Ala and Leu substitutions of H-pocket hMRP1-Met1093 have no effect on LTC4 binding or transport. Estrone 3-sulfate transport is also unaffected, but both hMRP1-Met1093 mutations eliminate estradiol glucuronide transport, demonstrating that these steroid conjugates have binding sites distinct from each other and from LTC4. To eliminate LTC4 transport by hMRP1, mutation of 3 H-pocket residues was required (W553/M1093/W1246A), indicating that H-pocket amino acids are key to the vastly different affinities of hMRP1 for LTC4 vs. GSH alone. Unlike organic anion transport, hMRP1-mediated drug resistance was more diminished by Ala than Leu substitution of Met1093. Although our findings generally support a structure in which H-pocket residues bind the lipid tail of LTC4, their critical and differential role in the transport of conjugated estrogens and anticancer drugs remains unexplained.-Conseil, G., Arama-Chayoth, M., Tsfadia, Y., Cole, S.

Abstract
ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters are transmembrane proteins expressed in secretory epithelia like the liver, kidneys and intestine, in the epithelia exhibiting barrier function such as the blood-brain barrier and placenta, and to a much lesser extent, in tissues like reproductive organs, lungs, heart and pancreas, among others. They regulate internal distribution of endogenous metabolites and xenobiotics including drugs of therapeutic use and also participate in their elimination from the body. We here describe the function and regulation of ABC transporters in the heart and small intestine, as examples of extrahepatic tissues, in which ABC proteins play clearly different roles. In the heart, they are involved in tissue pathogenesis as well as in protecting this organ against toxic compounds and druginduced oxidative stress. The small intestine is highly exposed to therapeutic drugs taken orally and, consequently, ABC transporters localized on its surface strongly influence drug absorption and pharmacokinetics. Examples of the ABC proteins currently described are Multidrug Resistance-associated Proteins 1 and 2 (MRP1 and 2) for heart and small intestine, respectively, and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) for both organs.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters such as ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein), ABCC1 (MRP1), and ABCG2 (BCRP) are well known for their role in rendering cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy. Additionally, recent research provided evidence that, along with other ABC transporters (ABCA1 and ABCA7), they might be cornerstones to tackle neurodegenerative diseases. Overcoming chemoresistance in cancer, understanding drug-drug interactions, and developing efficient and specific drugs that alter ABC transporter function are hindered by a lack of in vivo research models, which are fully predictive for humans. Hence, the humanization of ABC transporters in mice has become a major focus in pharmaceutical and neurodegenerative research. Here, we present a characterization of the first Abcc1 humanized mouse line. To preserve endogenous expression profiles, we chose to generate a knockin mouse model that leads to the expression of a chimeric protein that is fully human except for one amino acid. We found robust mRNA and protein expression within all major organs analyzed (brain, lung, spleen, and kidney). Furthermore, we demonstrate the functionality of the expressed human ABCC1 protein in brain and lungs using functional positron emission tomography imaging in vivo. Through the introduction of loxP sites, we additionally enabled this humanized mouse model for highly sophisticated studies involving cell type-specific transporter ablation. Based on our data, the presented mouse model appears to be a promising tool for the investigation of cell-specific ABCC1 function. It can provide a new basis for better translation of preclinical research.

Abstract
Liver disease can alter the disposition of xenobiotics and endogenous substances. Regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Evaluation Agency recommend, if possible, studying the effect of liver disease on drugs under development to guide specific dose recommendations in these patients. Although extensive research has been conducted to characterize the effect of liver disease on drug-metabolizing enzymes, emerging data have implicated that the expression and function of hepatobiliary transport proteins also are altered in liver disease. This review summarizes recent developments in the field, which may have implications for understanding altered disposition, safety, and efficacy of new and existing drugs. A brief review of liver physiology and hepatic transporter localization/function is provided. Then, the expression and function of hepatic transporters in cholestasis, hepatitis C infection, hepatocellular carcinoma, human immunodeficiency virus infection, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and primary biliary cirrhosis are reviewed. In the absence of clinical data, nonclinical information in animal models is presented. This review aims to advance the understanding of altered expression and function of hepatic transporters in liver disease and the implications of such changes on drug disposition.

Abstract
Natural contamination of drinking water with arsenic results in the exposure of millions of people world-wide to unacceptable levels of this metalloid. This is a serious global health problem because arsenic is a Group 1 (proven) human carcinogen and chronic exposure is known to cause skin, lung, and bladder tumors. Furthermore, arsenic exposure can result in a myriad of other adverse health effects including diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, reproductive, and endocrine systems. In addition to chronic environmental exposure to arsenic, arsenic trioxide is approved for the clinical treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia, and is in clinical trials for other hematological malignancies as well as solid tumors. Considerable inter-individual variability in susceptibility to arsenic-induced disease and toxicity exists, and the reasons for such differences are incompletely understood. Transport pathways that influence the cellular uptake and export of arsenic contribute to regulating its cellular, tissue, and ultimately body levels. In the current review, membrane proteins (including phosphate transporters, aquaglyceroporin channels, solute carrier proteins, and ATP-binding cassette transporters) shown experimentally to contribute to the passage of inorganic, methylated, and/or glutathionylated arsenic species across cellular membranes are discussed. Furthermore, what is known about arsenic transporters in organs involved in absorption, distribution, and metabolism and how transport pathways contribute to arsenic elimination are described.

Mol Pharmacol 2016; 90:127-39.

Abstract
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) is responsible for the cellular export of a chemically diverse array of xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. Arsenic, a human carcinogen, is a high-affinity MRP1 substrate as arsenic triglutathione [As(GS)3]. In this study, marked differences in As(GS)3 transport kinetics were observed between MRP1-enriched membrane vesicles prepared from human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK) (Km 3.8 µM and Vmax 307 pmol/mg per minute) and HeLa (Km 0.32 µM and Vmax 42 pmol/mg per minute) cells. Mutant MRP1 lacking N-linked glycosylation [Asn19/23/1006Gln; sugar-free (SF)-MRP1] expressed in either HEK293 or HeLa cells had low Km and Vmax values for As(GS)3, similar to HeLa wild-type (WT) MRP1. When prepared in the presence of phosphatase inhibitors, both WT- and SF-MRP1-enriched membrane vesicles had a high Km value for As(GS)3 (3-6 µM), regardless of the cell line. Kinetic parameters of As(GS)3 for HEK-Asn19/23Gln-MRP1 were similar to those of HeLa/HEK-SF-MRP1 and HeLa-WT-MRP1, whereas those of single glycosylation mutants were like those of HEK-WT-MRP1. Mutation of 19 potential MRP1 phosphorylation sites revealed that HEK-Tyr920Phe/Ser921Ala-MRP1 transported As(GS)3 like HeLa-WT-MRP1, whereas individual HEK-Tyr920Phe- and -Ser921Ala-MRP1 mutants were similar to HEK-WT-MRP1. Together, these results suggest that Asn19/Asn23 glycosylation and Tyr920/Ser921 phosphorylation are responsible for altering the kinetics of MRP1-mediated As(GS)3 transport. The kinetics of As(GS)3 transport by HEK-Asn19/23Gln/Tyr920Glu/Ser921Glu were similar to HEK-WT-MRP1, indicating that the phosphorylation-mimicking substitutions abrogated the influence of Asn19/23Gln glycosylation. Overall, these data suggest that cross-talk between MRP1 glycosylation and phosphorylation occurs and that phosphorylation of Tyr920 and Ser921 can switch MRP1 to a lower-affinity, higher-capacity As(GS)3 transporter, allowing arsenic detoxification over a broad concentration range.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Chemotherapeutic drugs are underutilized in lung cancer management due in part to serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs). AIM With studies revealing an association between interindividual patient ADR variation and efflux transporter variants, we carried out a meta-analysis and systemic review, in order to highlight current knowledge regarding the strength of association between efflux transporter SNPs variants and chemotherapeutic-drug induced ADRs. MATERIALS & METHODS Papers were sourced from MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINHL, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge, Scopus. The Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool v13 was used to evaluate six types of bias domains for each of the publications reviewed. RESULTS Twenty-five publications comprising three randomised control trials, two retrospective case-controls and 20 clinical observation studies, totalling 3578 patients, were deemed eligible for review. Of the known efflux drug transporters, we report findings on the ABC members ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCG2, ABCA1, ABCC4 and ABCC5. Meta-analysis showed an decreased risk of irinotecan-induced neutropenia in patients expressing ABCB1 2677G>T/G (odds ratio [OR]: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.1-0.59; p = 0.002) but increased risk for ABCC2 3972T>T (OR: 1.67; 95% CI: 1.01-2.74; p = 0.04). ABCG2 34G>A was associated with a threefold increased risk of irinotecan-induced diarrhea (95% CI: 1.00-6.24; p = 0.05). CONCLUSION The majority of studies have identified a role for variants in effluxdrug transporters in contributing to lung cancer treatment-associated ADRs. However, for implementation of use of these transporter genetic variants as prognostic markers for ADR risk, future studies must incorporate larger patient numbers.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) induces dose-dependent cardiotoxicity in part due to its ability to induce oxidative stress. We showed that loss of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (Abcc1/Mrp1) potentiates DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction in mice in vivo Here, we characterized DOX toxicity in cultured cardiomyocytes (CM) and cardiac fibroblasts (CF) derived from C57BL wild type (WT) and Mrp1 null (Mrp1-/-) neonatal mice. CM accumulated more intracellular DOX relative to CF but this accumulation did not differ between genotypes. Following DOX (0.3-4 μM), Mrp1-/- CM, and CF, especially CM, showed a greater decrease in viability and increased apoptosis and DNA damage, demonstrated by higher caspase 3 cleavage, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP) cleavage and phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) levels versus WT cells. Saline- and DOX-treated Mrp1-/- cells had significantly higher intracellular GSH and GSSG compared with WT cells (P < .05), but the redox potential (Eh) of the GSH/GSSG pool did not differ between genotypes in CM and CF, indicating that Mrp1-/- cells maintain this major redox couple. DOX increased expression of the rate-limiting GSH synthesis enzyme glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic (GCLc) and regulatory subunits (GCLm) to a significantly greater extent in Mrp1-/- versus WT cells, suggesting adaptive responses to oxidative stress in Mrp1-/- cells that were inadequate to afford protection. Expression of extracellular superoxide dismutase (ECSOD/SOD3) was lower (P < .05) in Mrp1-/- versus WT CM treated with saline (62% ± 8% of WT) or DOX (43% ± 12% of WT). Thus, Mrp1 protects CM in particular and CF against DOX-induced toxicity, potentially by regulating extracellular redox states.

Abstract
The phenomenon of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer is associated with the overexpression of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins, including multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) and P-glycoprotein. MRP1 plays an active role in protecting cells by its ability to efflux a vast array of drugs to sub-lethal levels. There has been much effort in elucidating the mechanisms of action, structure and substrates and substrate binding sites of MRP1 in the last decade. In this review, we detail our current understanding of MRP1, its clinical relevance and highlight the current environment in the search for MRP1 inhibitors. We also look at the capacity for the rapid intercellular transfer of MRP1 phenotype from spontaneously shed membrane vesicles known as microparticles and discuss the clinical and therapeutic significance of this in the context of cancer MDR.

Abstract
Sulfur mustard and nitrogen mustard (mechlorethamine, HN2) are potent vesicants developed as chemical warfare agents. These electrophilic, bifunctional alkylating agents cause skin injury, including inflammation, edema, and blistering. HN2 covalently modifies macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins or is scavenged by glutathione, forming adducts that can contribute to toxicity. Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (Mrp1/MRP1) is a transmembrane ATPase known to efflux glutathione-conjugated electrophiles. In the present studies, we examined the effects of modulating Mrp1-mediated transport activity on the sensitivity of primary and PAM212 mouse keratinocytes to HN2. Primary keratinocytes, and to a lesser extent, PAM212 cells, express Mrp1 mRNA and protein and possess Mrp1 functional activity, as measured by calcein efflux. Sulforaphane, an activator of Nrf2, increased Mrp1 mRNA, protein, and functional activity in primary keratinocytes and PAM212 cells and decreased their sensitivity to HN2-induced growth inhibition (IC(50) = 1.4 and 4.8 µM in primary keratinocytes and 1 and 13 µM in PAM212 cells, in the absence and presence of sulforaphane, respectively). The Mrp1 inhibitor, MK-571, reversed the effects of sulforaphane on HN2-induced growth inhibition in both primary keratinocytes and PAM212 cells. In primary keratinocytes from Nrf2(-/-) mice, sulforaphane had no impact on Mrp1 expression or activity, or on sensitivity to HN2, demonstrating that its effects depend on Nrf2. These data suggest that Mrp1-mediated efflux is important in regulating HN2-induced keratinocyte growth inhibition. Enhancing HN2 efflux from keratinocytes may represent a novel strategy for mitigating vesicant-induced cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX), an effective cancer chemotherapeutic agent, induces dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, in part due to its ability to cause oxidative stress. We investigated the role of multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (Mrp1/Abcc1) in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in C57BL wild-type (WT) mice and their Mrp1 null (Mrp1(-/-)) littermates. Male mice were administered intraperitoneal DOX (3 or 2 mg/kg body weight) or saline twice a week for 3 weeks and examined 2 weeks after the last dose (protocol A total dose: 18 mg/kg) or for 5 weeks, and mice were examined 48 hours and 2 weeks after the last dose (protocol B total dose: 20 mg/kg). Chronic DOX induced body weight loss and hemotoxicity, adverse effects significantly exacerbated in Mrp1(-/-) versus WT mice. In the heart, significantly higher basal levels of glutathione (1.41-fold ± 0.27-fold) and glutathione disulfide (1.35-fold ± 0.16-fold) were detected in Mrp1(-/-) versus WT mice, and there were comparable decreases in the glutathione/glutathione disulfide ratio in WT and Mrp1(-/-) mice after DOX administration. Surprisingly, DOX induced comparable increases in 4-hydroxynonenal glutathione conjugate concentration in hearts from WT and Mrp1(-/-) mice. However, more DOX-induced apoptosis was detected in Mrp1(-/-) versus WT hearts (P < 0.05) (protocol A), and cardiac function, assessed by measurement of fractional shortening and ejection fraction with echocardiography, was significantly decreased by DOX in Mrp1(-/-) versus WT mice (P < 0.05; 95% confidence intervals of 20.0%-24.3% versus 23.7%-29.5% for fractional shortening, and 41.5%-48.4% versus 47.7%-56.7% for ejection fraction; protocol B). Together, these data indicate that Mrp1 protects the mouse heart against chronic DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
The human ATP-binding cassette transporter multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), encoded by ABCC1, was initially identified because of its ability to confer multidrug resistance in lung cancer cells. It is now established that MRP1 plays a role in protecting certain tissues from xenobiotic insults and that it mediates the cellular efflux of the proinflammatory cysteinyl leukotriene C4 as well as a vast array of other endo- and xenobiotic organic anions. Many of these are glutathione (GSH) or glucuronide conjugates, the products of Phase II drug metabolism. MRP1 also plays a role in the cellular efflux of the reduced and oxidized forms of GSH and thus contributes to the many physiological and pathophysiological processes influenced by these small peptides, including oxidative stress. In this review, the pharmacological and physiological aspects of MRP1 are considered in the context of the current status and future prospects of pharmacological and genetic modulation of MRP1 activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review provides an overview of intestinal human transporters for organic anions and stresses the need for standardization of the various in-vitro methods presently employed in drug-drug interaction (DDI) investigations. KEY FINDINGS Current knowledge on the intestinal expression of the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT), the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), the monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) 1, MCT3-5, the multidrug resistance associated proteins (MRP) 1-6, the organic anion transporting polypetides (OATP) 2B1, 1A2, 3A1 and 4A1, and the organic solute transporter α/β (OSTα/β) has been covered along with an overview of their substrates and inhibitors. Furthermore, the many challenges in predicting clinically relevant DDIs from in-vitro studies have been discussed with focus on intestinal transporters and the various methods for deducting in-vitro parameters for transporters (K(m) /K(i) /IC50, efflux ratio). The applicability of using a cut-off value (estimated based on the intestinal drug concentration divided by the K(i) or IC50) has also been considered. SUMMARY A re-evaluation of the current approaches for the prediction of DDIs is necessary when considering the involvement of other transporters than P-glycoprotein. Moreover, the interplay between various processes that a drug is subject to in-vivo such as translocation by several transporters and dissolution should be considered.

Abstract
Millions of people world-wide are chronically exposed to inorganic forms of the environmental toxicant arsenic in drinking water. This has led to a public health crisis because arsenic is a human carcinogen, and causes a myriad of other adverse health effects. In order to prevent and treat arsenic-induced toxicity it is critical to understand the cellular handling of this metalloid. A large body of literature describes the importance of the cellular tripeptide glutathione (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly,GSH/GS) in the excretion of arsenic. The triglutathione conjugate of arsenite [As(III)(GS)(3)] and the diglutathione conjugate of monomethylarsonous acid [MMA(III)(GS)(2)] have been isolated from rat bile and mouse urine, and account for the majority of excreted arsenic, suggesting these are important transportable forms. The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins, multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1/ABCC1) and the related protein MRP2 (ABCC2), are thought to play an important role in arsenic detoxification through the cellular efflux of arsenic-GSH conjugates. Current knowledge on the cellular handling of arsenic with a special emphasis on the transport pathways of the arsenic-GSH conjugates As(III)(GS)(3), MMA(III)(GS)(2), and dimethylarsenic glutathione DMA(III)(GS), as well as, the seleno-bis(S-glutathionyl) arsinium ion [(GS)(2)AsSe](-) are reviewed.

Abstract
Intestinal lymphatic transport has been shown to be an absorptive pathway following oral administration of lipids and an increasing number of lipophilic drugs, which once absorbed, diffuse across the intestinal enterocyte and while in transit associate with secretable enterocyte lipoproteins. The chylomicron-associated drug is then secreted from the enterocyte into the lymphatic circulation, rather than the portal circulation, thus avoiding the metabolically-active liver, but still ultimately returning to the systemic circulation. Because of this parallel and potentially alternative absorptive pathway, first-pass metabolism can be reduced while increasing lymphatic drug exposure, which opens the potential for novel therapeutic modalities and allows the implementation of lipid-based drug delivery systems. This review discusses the physiological features of the lymphatics, enterocyte uptake and metabolism, links between drug transport and lipid digestion/re-acylation, experimental model (in vivo, in vitro, and in silico) of lymphatic transport, and the design of lipid- or prodrug-based drug delivery systems for enhancing lymphatic drug transport.

Abstract
Transporters influence the disposition of chemicals within the body by participating in absorption, distribution, and elimination. Transporters of the solute carrier family (SLC) comprise a variety of proteins, including organic cation transporters (OCT) 1 to 3, organic cation/carnitine transporters (OCTN) 1 to 3, organic anion transporters (OAT) 1 to 7, various organic anion transporting polypeptide isoforms, sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide, apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter, peptide transporters (PEPT) 1 and 2, concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNT) 1 to 3, equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) 1 to 3, and multidrug and toxin extrusion transporters (MATE) 1 and 2, which mediate the uptake (except MATEs) of organic anions and cations as well as peptides and nucleosides. Efflux transporters of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily, such as ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), multidrug resistance proteins (MDR) 1 and 2, bile salt export pump, multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRP) 1 to 9, breast cancer resistance protein, and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G members 5 and 8, are responsible for the unidirectional export of endogenous and exogenous substances. Other efflux transporters [ATPase copper-transporting beta polypeptide (ATP7B) and ATPase class I type 8B member 1 (ATP8B1) as well as organic solute transporters (OST) alpha and beta] also play major roles in the transport of some endogenous chemicals across biological membranes. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of these transporters (both rodent and human) with regard to tissue distribution, subcellular localization, and substrate preferences. Because uptake and efflux transporters are expressed in multiple cell types, the roles of transporters in a variety of tissues, including the liver, kidneys, intestine, brain, heart, placenta, mammary glands, immune cells, and testes are discussed. Attention is also placed upon a variety of regulatory factors that influence transporter expression and function, including transcriptional activation and post-translational modifications as well as subcellular trafficking. Sex differences, ontogeny, and pharmacological and toxicological regulation of transporters are also addressed. Transporters are important transmembrane proteins that mediate the cellular entry and exit of a wide range of substrates throughout the body and thereby play important roles in human physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and toxicology.

Abstract
Millions of new cancer patients are diagnosed each year and over half of these patients die from this devastating disease. Thus, cancer causes a major public health problem worldwide. Chemotherapy remains the principal mode to treat many metastatic cancers. However, occurrence of cellular multidrug resistance (MDR) prevents efficient killing of cancer cells, leading to chemotherapeutic treatment failure. Over-expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters, such as P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein and/or multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), confers an acquired MDR due to their capabilities of transporting a broad range of chemically diverse anticancer drugs across the cell membrane barrier. In this review, the molecular mechanism of ATP-dependent solute transport by MRP1 will be addressed.

Abstract
Delivery of biologically active agents to animals is often perceived to be the poor relation of human drug delivery. Yet this field has a long and successful history of species-specific device and formulation development, ranging from simple approaches and devices used in production animals to more sophisticated formulations and approaches for a wide range of species. While several technologies using biodegradable polymers have been successfully marketed in a range of veterinary and human products, the transfer of delivery technologies has not been similarly applied across species. This may be due to a combination of specific technical requirements for use of devices in different species, inter-species pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and physiological differences, and distinct market drivers for drug classes used in companion and food-producing animals. This chapter reviews selected commercialised and research-based parenteral and non-parenteral veterinary drug delivery technologies in selected domestic species. Emphasis is also placed on the impact of endogenous drug transporters on drug distribution characteristics in different species. In vitro models used to investigate carrier-dependent transport are reviewed. Species-specific expression of transporters in several tissues can account for inter-animal or inter-species pharmacokinetic variability, lack of predictability of drug efficacy, and potential drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
The intestine expresses metabolic enzymes and transporters and functions as a barrier to orally administered xenobiotics. This study aimed to examine the importance of multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (Mrp3/Abcc3) in the serosal efflux of glucuronide conjugates formed in the intestine using wild-type and Mrp3(-/-) mice. The everted sacs of the intestine were incubated with 4-methylumbelliferone (4MU), and the efflux rates of intracellularly formed glucuronide conjugate of 4MU (4MUG) into the mucosal and serosal sides were determined. The permeability-surface area product across the serosal membrane (PS(serosal)) of 4MUG in wild-type mice was greatest in the duodenum followed by the jejunum, ileum, and colon. The corresponding parameters were significantly reduced in Mrp3(-/-) mice (approximately 33% of that in wild-type mice) except for the colon where the PS(serosal) of 4MUG was similar between wild-type and Mrp3(-/-) mice. There was no difference in the PS(mucosal) of 4MUG in whole segments of the intestine between wild-type and Mrp3(-/-) mice. In addition to 4MUG, the PS(serosal) of the glucuronide conjugates of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38) and acetaminophen in the jejunal everted sacs were also significantly reduced in Mrp3(-/-) mice compared with wild-type mice. There was no difference in the mRNA and protein expression of efflux transporters between wild-type and Mrp3(-/-) mice. These results suggest that Mrp3 plays major roles in the efflux transport of various glucuronide conjugates from the enterocytes to the portal blood in the small intestine together with unknown transporter(s), but the contribution of Mrp3 to the basolateral efflux of 4MUG was negligible in the colon.

Abstract
1. The purpose of this study was to investigate the involvement of rat Mrp2 and human MRP2 in benzylpenicillin transport using canalicular liver plasma membrane (cLPM) vesicles isolated from Sprague-Dawley or Easai hyperbilirubinemic (EHBR) rats, and MDCKII cells overexpressing MRP2. 2. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent uptake of benzylpenicillin and oestradiol-17beta-D-glucuronide (E(2)17betaG), a representative substrate for Mrp2, into EHBR-cLPM vesicles was decreased relative to that seen with control-cLPM vesicles, which may reflect the absence of Mrp2 in the EHBR. The ATP-dependent uptake of taurocholate, which is not a substrate for Mrp2, was similar in both control and EHBR-cLPM vesicles. The concentration dependence of ATP-dependent benzylpenicillin uptake was reflected in a K(m) of 44.0 microM and a V(max) of 508.4 pmol mg(-1) min(-1). Additional inhibition studies using E(2)17betaG and methotrexate as representative substrates for Mrp2/MRP2 demonstrated the involvement of rat Mrp2, but not human MRP2, in benzylpenicillin efflux. Benzylpenicillin appears not to be a substrate for or inhibitor of other human efflux transporters such as MDR1, MRP1, MRP3, or BCRP. 3. In conclusion, rat Mrp2, but not human MRP2, plays an important role in ATP-dependent benzylpenicillin uptake in the bile canalicular membrane, which may explain why biliary excretion of benzylpenicillin is high in the rat but negligible in humans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the distribution frequencies of four common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MRP1/ABCC1 in a mainland Chinese population and investigate whether these SNPs affect the expression and function of the MRP1/ABCC1. METHODS The genotype of 208 healthy volunteers was determined using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The four candidated SNPs were recreated by site-directed mutagenesis and tested for their effect on MRP1/ABCC1 expression and multidrug resistance function in stable transfected HEK293 and CHO-K1 cell lines. Real-time PCR, western blot and confocal microscopy were used to determine the mRNA, protein expression, and protein trafficking. At last, the effect of mutations on MRP1/ABCC1-mediate drug resistance was determined using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. RESULTS The allelic frequencies of Cys43Ser (128G>C), Thr73Ile (218C>T), Arg723Gln (2168G>A), and Arg1058Gln (3173G>A) in mainland Chinese were 0.5, 1.4, 5.8, and 0.5%, respectively. None of these mutations had any effect on MRP1/ABCC1 expression and trafficking, but that Arg723Gln mutation significantly reduced MRP1/ABCC1-mediated resistance to daunorubicin, doxorubicin, etoposide, vinblastine, and vincristine. The Cys43Ser mutation did not affect all tested drug resistance. In contrast, the Thr73Ile mutation reduced resistance to methotrexate and etoposide, whereas the Arg1058Gln mutation increased the response of two anthracycline drugs and etoposide in HEK293 and CHO-K1 cells as well as vinblastine and methotrexate in CHO-K1 cells. CONCLUSION The allelic frequency of the Arg723Gln mutation is relatively higher than other SNPs in mainland Chinese population and therefore this mutation significantly reduces MRP1/ABCC1 activity in multidrug resistance.

[PMID: 18835265 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2008.09.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2008] [Revised: 09/04/2008] [Accepted: 09/09/2008] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Approximately one-third of patients with epilepsy display an inherent resistance to pharmacological therapy, manifest as continuing seizures despite maximal tolerated doses of anti-epileptic drugs. One hypothesis for the underlying mechanism of anti-epileptic drug pharmacoresistance is lower drug entry to the epileptic neurones due to the activity of multidrug efflux pumps from the ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) superfamily at the blood-brain barrier. There has been a steady accumulation of animal and human data supporting this theory, particularly for ABC(B1) (P-glycoprotein). However, much of this evidence is indirect. In the present study, several anti-epileptic drugs (carbamazepine, valproic acid, phenytoin, lamotrigine and primidone) were examined for their ability to interact with three ABC transporters that have been implicated pharmacoresistance of anti-epileptic drugs - ABC(B1), ABC(C1) and ABC(G2). Interaction of anti-epileptic drugs with the transporters was assessed by determining whether they could reverse the ability of multidrug ABC transporters to confer a drug resistance phenotype on cancer cell lines. None of these compounds was able to affect the phenotype, suggesting an absence of any interaction with the multidrug transporters. This finding was further investigated by examination of transporter activity; namely the ability to reduce steady-state intracellular [(3)H]-radiolabelled drug accumulation. None of the anti-epileptic drugs affected labelled drug accumulation by any of the triumvirate of multidrug transporters examined, indicating that they are unlikely to be substrates. The lack of direct modulation by anti-epileptic drugs of ABC transporter function suggests that these proteins do not contribute significantly to resistance in epilepsy.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance-associated protein-1 (MRP1) is an integral membrane efflux protein that is implicated in multidrug resistance in cancer, but it is also expressed in normal tissues. The objective of this study was to determine the expression, localization and functional activity of MRP1 in primary cultured rat alveolar epithelial cells of types I- and II cell-like phenotypes. RT-PCR data showed 550-base pair fragments in both types I- and II-like pneumocytes that exhibited 99% identity to the rat MRP1 isoform. Significant levels of MRP1 protein were detected by western analysis of immunoprecipitates in both cell types, and immunofluorescence combined with confocal laser scanning microscopy indicated basolateral localization of MRP1. Indomethacin (0-100 microM) increased fluorescein basolateral-to-apical transport, and accumulation of fluorescein in the cells, in a dose-dependent manner. We therefore conclude that the MRP1 gene is present in primary cultured rat epithelial cells of both types I- and II-like phenotypes and its corresponding protein (MRP1) is localized in the basolateral membrane of these cells. Primary cultured monolayers of rat type II-like pneumocytes appear to be a useful tool for screening MRP1 substrates designed for pulmonary delivery/targeting.

Abstract
The ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters ABCB1, ABCC2 and ABCG2 are efflux transporters that facilitate the excretion of drugs, contribute to the function of biological barriers and maintain low cytoplasmic substrate concentrations in cells. ABC transporters modulate drug absorption, distribution and elimination according to the level of expression in the intestine, liver, kidney, and at biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier. Moreover individual transporters are known to convey multi-drug resistance to tumour cells. While these diverse functions have been described in laboratory animal studies and in humans, the available information is very limited in animal species that are typical veterinary patients. This brief review summarizes the available data on organ distribution and expression levels in animals, genetic defects in dogs resulting in a non-functional P-gp expression, and describes examples of kinetic investigations directed to assess the clinical relevance of species differences in ABC-transporter expression.

Abstract
We have studied in vivo responses of "spontaneous" Brca1- and p53-deficient mammary tumors arising in conditional mouse mutants to treatment with doxorubicin, docetaxel, or cisplatin. Like human tumors, the response of individual mouse tumors varies, but eventually they all become resistant to the maximum tolerable dose of doxorubicin or docetaxel. The tumors also respond well to cisplatin but do not become resistant, even after multiple treatments in which tumors appear to regrow from a small fraction of surviving cells. Classical biochemical resistance mechanisms, such as up-regulated drug transporters, appear to be responsible for doxorubicin resistance, rather than alterations in drug-damage effector pathways. Our results underline the promise of these mouse tumors for the study of tumor-initiating cells and of drug therapy of human cancer.

Abstract
Over a million new cases of cancers are diagnosed each year in the United States and over half of these patients die from these devastating diseases. Thus, cancers cause a major public health problem in the United States and worldwide. Chemotherapy remains the principal mode to treat many metastatic cancers. However, occurrence of cellular multidrug resistance (MDR) prevents efficient killing of cancer cells, leading to chemotherapeutic treatment failure. Numerous mechanisms of MDR exist in cancer cells, such as intrinsic or acquired MDR. Overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp or ABCB1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP or ABCG2) and/or multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1 or ABCC1), confers an acquired MDR due to their capabilities of transporting a broad range of chemically diverse anticancer drugs. In addition to their roles in MDR, there is substantial evidence suggesting that these drug transporters have functions in tissue defense. Basically, these drug transporters are expressed in tissues important for absorption, such as in lung and gut, and for metabolism and elimination, such as in liver and kidney. In addition, these drug transporters play an important role in maintaining the barrier function of many tissues including blood-brain barrier, blood-cerebral spinal fluid barrier, blood-testis barrier and the maternal-fetal barrier. Thus, these ATP-dependent drug transporters play an important role in the absorption, disposition and elimination of the structurally diverse array of the endobiotics and xenobiotics. In this review, the molecular mechanism of ATP-dependent solute transport by MRP1 will be addressed.

Abstract
A series of nitrofuran-based compounds were identified as inhibitors of estrogen signaling in a cell-based, high-throughput screen of a diverse library of small molecules. These highly related compounds were subsequently found to inhibit topoisomerase II in vitro at concentrations similar to that required for the inhibition of estrogen signaling in cells. The most potent nitrofuran discovered is approximately 10-fold more active than etoposide phosphate, a topoisomerase II inhibitor in clinical use. The nitrofurans also inhibit topoisomerase I activity, with approximately 20-fold less activity. Moreover, the nitrofurans, in contrast to etoposide, induce a profound cell cycle arrest in the G(0)-G(1) phase of the cell cycle, do not induce double-stranded DNA breaks, are not substrates for multidrug resistance protein-1 export from the cell, and are amenable to synthetic development. In addition, the nitrofurans synergize with etoposide phosphate in cell killing. Clonogenic assays done on a panel of human tumors maintained ex vivo in nude mice show that the most active compound identified in the screen is selective against tumors compared with normal hematopoietic stem cells. However, this compound had only moderate activity in a mouse xenograft model. This novel class of topoisomerase II inhibitor may provide additional chemotherapeutic strategies for the development of cytotoxic agents with proven clinical utility.

Abstract
MRP1 (ABCC1) is a peculiar member of the ABC transporter superfamily for several aspects. This protein has an unusually broad substrate specificity and is capable of transporting not only a wide variety of neutral hydrophobic compounds, like the MDR1/P-glycoprotein, but also facilitating the extrusion of numerous glutathione, glucuronate, and sulfate conjugates. The transport mechanism of MRP1 is also complex; a composite substrate-binding site permits both cooperativity and competition between various substrates. This versatility and the ubiquitous tissue distribution make this transporter suitable for contributing to various physiological functions, including defense against xenobiotics and endogenous toxic metabolites, leukotriene-mediated inflammatory responses, as well as protection from the toxic effect of oxidative stress. In this paper, we give an overview of the considerable amount of knowledge which has accumulated since the discovery of MRP1 in 1992. We place special emphasis on the structural features essential for function, our recent understanding of the transport mechanism, and the numerous assignments of this transporter.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) mediates the ATP-dependent efflux of endobiotics and xenobiotics, including estradiol 17-(beta-d-glucuronide), leukotriene C(4), and the reduced glutathione conjugate of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a highly reactive product of lipid peroxidation. Adriamycin is an effective cancer chemotherapeutic drug whose use is limited by cardiotoxicity. Adriamycin induces oxidative stress and production of HNE in cardiac tissue, which may contribute to cardiomyopathy. We investigated the role of Mrp1 in Adriamycin-induced oxidative stress in cardiac tissue. Mice were treated with Adriamycin (20 mg/kg, i.p.), and heart homogenate and sarcolemma membranes were assayed for Mrp1 expression and ATP-dependent transport activity. Expression of Mrp1 was increased at 6 and 24 hours after Adriamycin treatment compared with saline treatment. HNE-adducted proteins were significantly increased (P < 0.001) in the homogenates at 6 hours after Adriamycin treatment and accumulated further with time; HNE adduction of a 190-kDa protein was evident 3 days after Adriamycin treatment. Mrp1 was localized predominately in sarcolemma as shown by confocal and Western blot analysis. Sarcolemma membrane vesicles transported leukotriene C(4) with a K(m) and V(max) of 51.8 nmol/L and 94.1 pmol/min/mg, respectively, and MK571 (10 micromol/L) inhibited the transport activity by 65%. Exposure of HEK(Mrp1) membranes to HNE (10 micromol/L) significantly decreased the V(max) for estradiol 17-(beta-d-glucuronide) transport by 50%. These results show that expression of Mrp1 in the mouse heart is localized predominantly in sarcolemma. Adriamycin treatment increased Mrp1 expression and HNE adduction of Mrp1. Cardiac Mrp1 may play a role in protecting the heart from Adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy by effluxing HNE conjugates.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier is a natural diffusion barrier, which expresses active carriers extruding drugs on their way to the brain back into the blood against concentration gradients. Whereas these so-called adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters prevent the brain entry of toxic compounds under physiological conditions, they complicate pharmacotherapies in neurological disease. Recent observations in animal models of ischemic stroke, drug-resistant epilepsy, and brain cancer showed that the prototype of ABC transporters, ABCB1, is upregulated on brain injury, deactivation of this carrier considerably enhancing the accumulation of neuroprotective, antiepileptic, and chemotherapeutic compounds. These studies provide the proof of concept that the efficacy of brain-targeting drugs may significantly be improved when drug efflux is blocked. Under clinical conditions, efforts currently are made to enhance drug accumulation by selecting new compounds that do not bind to efflux carriers or deactivating ABC transporters by targeted downregulation or pharmacological inhibition. We predict that strategies aiming at circumventing drug efflux may greatly facilitate progress in neurological therapies.

Abstract
Multidrug Resistance Proteins (MRPs), together with the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR/ABCC7) and the sulfonylurea receptors (SUR1/ABCC8 and SUR2/ABCC9) comprise the 13 members of the human "C" branch of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily. All C branch proteins share conserved structural features in their nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) that distinguish them from other ABC proteins. The MRPs can be further divided into two subfamilies "long" (MRP1, -2, -3, -6, and -7) and "short" (MRP4, -5, -8, -9, and -10). The short MRPs have a typical ABC transporter structure with two polytropic membrane spanning domains (MSDs) and two NBDs, while the long MRPs have an additional NH2-terminal MSD. In vitro, the MRPs can collectively confer resistance to natural product drugs and their conjugated metabolites, platinum compounds, folate antimetabolites, nucleoside and nucleotide analogs, arsenical and antimonial oxyanions, peptide-based agents, and, under certain circumstances, alkylating agents. The MRPs are also primary active transporters of other structurally diverse compounds, including glutathione, glucuronide, and sulfate conjugates of a large number of xeno- and endobiotics. In vivo, several MRPs are major contributors to the distribution and elimination of a wide range of both anticancer and non-anticancer drugs and metabolites. In this review, we describe what is known of the structure of the MRPs and the mechanisms by which they recognize and transport their diverse substrates. We also summarize knowledge of their possible physiological functions and evidence that they may be involved in the clinical drug resistance of various forms of cancer.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 1 belongs to the 'C' branch of the ABC transporter superfamily. MRP1 is a high-affinity transporter of the cysteinyl leukotriene C(4) and is responsible for the systemic release of this cytokine in response to an inflammatory stimulus. However, the substrate specificity of MRP1 is extremely broad and includes many organic anion conjugates of structurally unrelated endo- and xenobiotics. In addition, MRP1 transports unmodified hydrophobic compounds, such as natural product type chemotherapeutic agents and mutagens, such as aflatoxin B(1). Transport of several of these compounds has been shown to be dependent on the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH). More recently, GSH has also been shown to stimulate the transport of some conjugated compounds, including sulfates and glucuronides. Here, we summarize current knowledge of the substrate specificity and modes of transport of MRP1 and discuss how the protein may recognize its structurally diverse substrates.

Abstract
The impact of efflux pumps and metabolic enzymes on the therapeutic activity of various drugs has been well established. The presence of efflux pumps on various tissues and tumours has been shown to regulate the intracellular concentration needed to achieve therapeutic activity. The notable members of efflux proteins include P-glycoprotein, multi-drug resistance protein and breast cancer resistance protein. These efflux pumps play a pivotal role not only in extruding xenobiotics but also in maintaining the body's homeostasis by their ubiquitous presence and ability to coordinate among themselves. In this review, the role of efflux pumps in drug delivery and the importance of their tissue distribution is discussed in detail. To improve pharmacokinetic parameters of substrates, various strategies that modulate the activity of efflux proteins are also described. Drug metabolising enzymes mainly include the cytochrome P450 family of enzymes. Extensive drug metabolism due to the this family of enzymes is the leading cause of therapeutic inactivity. Therefore, the role of metabolising enzymes in drug delivery and disposition is extensively discussed in this review. The synergistic relationship between metabolising enzymes and efflux proteins is also described in detail. In summary, this review emphasises the urgent need to make changes in drug discovery and drug delivery as efflux pumps and metabolising enzymes play an important role in drug delivery and disposition.

Abstract
In tumor cell lines, multidrug resistance is often associated with an ATP-dependent decrease in cellular drug accumulation which is attributed to the overexpression of certain ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. ABC proteins that confer drug resistance include (but are not limited to) P-glycoprotein (gene symbol ABCB1), the multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1, gene symbol ABCC1), MRP2 (gene symbol ABCC2), and the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, gene symbol ABCG2). In addition to their role in drug resistance, there is substantial evidence that these efflux pumps have overlapping functions in tissue defense. Collectively, these proteins are capable of transporting a vast and chemically diverse array of toxicants including bulky lipophilic cationic, anionic, and neutrally charged drugs and toxins as well as conjugated organic anions that encompass dietary and environmental carcinogens, pesticides, metals, metalloids, and lipid peroxidation products. P-glycoprotein, MRP1, MRP2, and BCRP/ABCG2 are expressed in tissues important for absorption (e.g., lung and gut) and metabolism and elimination (liver and kidney). In addition, these transporters have an important role in maintaining the barrier function of sanctuary site tissues (e.g., blood-brain barrier, blood-cerebral spinal fluid barrier, blood-testis barrier and the maternal-fetal barrier or placenta). Thus, these ABC transporters are increasingly recognized for their ability to modulate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity of xenobiotics. In this review, the role of these four ABC transporter proteins in protecting tissues from a variety of toxicants is discussed. Species variations in substrate specificity and tissue distribution of these transporters are also addressed since these properties have implications for in vivo models of toxicity used for drug discovery and development.
