Abstract
Drug efflux transporters of the ATP-binding-cassette superfamily play a major role in the availability and concentration of drugs at their site of action. ABCC2 (MRP2) and ABCG2 (BCRP) are among the most important drug transporters that determine the pharmacokinetics of many drugs and whose overexpression is associated with cancer chemoresistance. ABCC2 and ABCG2 expression is frequently altered during treatment, thus influencing efficacy and toxicity. Currently, there are no routine approaches available to closely monitor transporter expression. Here, we developed and validated a UPLC-MS/MS method to quantify ABCC2 and ABCG2 in extracellular vesicles (EVs) from cell culture and plasma. In this way, an association between ABCC2 protein levels and transporter activity in HepG2 cells treated with rifampicin and hypericin and their derived EVs was observed. Although ABCG2 was detected in MCF7 cell-derived EVs, the transporter levels in the vesicles did not reflect the expression in the cells. An analysis of plasma EVs from healthy volunteers confirmed, for the first time at the protein level, the presence of both transporters in more than half of the samples. Our findings support the potential of analyzing ABC transporters, and especially ABCC2, in EVs to estimate the transporter expression in HepG2 cells.

[PMID: 38451012 PMCID: PMC10955225 DOI: 10.1002/mgg3.2362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The ABCG2 421C/A polymorphism contributes significantly to the distribution and absorption of antiretroviral (ARV) regimens and is associated with the undesirable side effects of efavirenz. METHODS To investigate this, we examined ABCG2 34G/A (rs2231137) and 421C/A (rs2231142) genetic variations in 149 HIV-infected patients (116 without hepatotoxicity, 33 with ARV-induced hepatotoxicity) and 151 healthy controls through the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The ABCG2 34GA genotype and 34A allele indicated a risk for antiretroviral therapy-associated hepatotoxicity development (p = 0.09, OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 0.93-2.69; p = 0.06, OR = 1.50, 95% CI: 0.98-2.30). The haplotype GA was associated with hepatotoxicity (p = 0.042, OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.04-5.43; p = 0.042, OR = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.04-5.96). Moreover, when comparing HIV patients with hepatotoxicity to healthy controls, the haplotype GA had an association with an elevated risk for the development of hepatotoxicity (p = 0.041, OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 1.02-2.93). Additionally, the association of the ABCG2 34GA genotype with the progression of HIV (p = 0.02, OR = 1.97, 95% CI: 1.07-3.63) indicated a risk for advanced HIV infection. Furthermore, the ABCG2 421AA genotype was linked to tobacco users and featured as a risk factor for the progression of HIV disease (p = 0.03, OR = 11.07, 95% CI: 1.09-270.89). CONCLUSION The haplotype GA may enhance the risk of hepatotoxicity development and its severity. Individuals with the ABCG2 34A allele may also be at risk for the development of hepatotoxicity. Additionally, individuals with an advanced stage of HIV and the ABCG2 34GA genotype may be at risk for disease progression.

Utilizing a Dual Human Transporter MDCKII-MDR1-BCRP Cell Line to Assess Efflux at the Blood Brain Barrier. Drug Metab Dispos 2024; 52:95-105. [PMID: 38071533 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.123.001476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/22/2023] Open
Abstract
To facilitate the design of drugs readily able to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB), a Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line was established that over expresses both P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), the main human efflux transporters of the BBB. Proteomics analyses indicate BCRP is expressed at a higher level than Pgp in this cell line. This cell line shows good activity for both transporters [BCRP substrate dantrolene efflux ratio (ER) 16.3 ± 0.9, Pgp substrate quinidine ER 27.5 ± 1.2], and use of selective transporter inhibitors enables an assessment of the relative contributions to overall ERs. The MDCKII-MDR1-BCRP ER negatively correlates with rat unbound brain/unbound plasma ratio, Kpuu Highly brain penetrant compounds with rat Kpuu ≥ 0.3 show ERs ≤ 2 in the MDCKII-MDR1-BCRP assay while compounds predominantly excluded from the brain, Kpuu ≤ 0.05, demonstrate ERs ≥ 20. A subset of compounds with MDCKII-MDR1-BCRP ER < 2 and rat Kpuu < 0.3 were shown to be substrates of rat Pgp using a rat transfected cell line, MDCKII-rMdr1a. These compounds also showed ERs > 2 in the human National Institutes of Health (NIH) MDCKI-MDR1 (high Pgp expression) cell line, which suggests that they are weak human Pgp substrates. Characterization of 37 drugs targeting the central nervous system in the MDCKII-MDR1-BCRP efflux assay show 36 have ERs < 2. In drug discovery, use of the MDCKII-MDR1-BCRP in parallel with the NIH MDCKI-MDR1 cell line is useful for identification of compounds with high brain penetration. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: A single cell line that includes both the major human efflux transporters of the blood brain barrier (MDCKII-MDR1-BCRP) has been established facilitating the rapid identification of efflux substrates and enabling the design of brain penetrant molecules. Efflux ratios using this cell line demonstrate a clear relationship with brain penetration as defined by rat brain Kpuu.

Quantification of Accurate Composition and Total Abundance of Homologous Proteins by Conserved-Plus-Surrogate Peptide Approach: Quantification of UDP Glucuronosyltransferases in Human Tissues. Drug Metab Dispos 2023; 51:285-292. [PMID: 36446609 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.122.001155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Characterization of accurate compositions and total abundance of homologous drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as UDP glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), is important for predicting the fractional contribution of individual isoforms involved in the metabolism of a drug for applications in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. Conventional targeted proteomics utilizes surrogate peptides, which often results in high technical and interlaboratory variability due to peptide-specific digestion leading to data inconsistencies. To address this problem, we developed a novel conserved-plus-surrogate peptide (CPSP) approach for determining the accurate compositions and total or cumulative abundance of homologous UGTs in commercially available pooled human liver microsomes (HLM), human intestinal microsomes (HIM), human kidney microsomes (HKM), and human liver S9 (HLS9) fraction. The relative percent composition of UGT1A and UGT2B isoforms in the human liver was 35:5:36:11:13 for UGT1A1:1A3:1A4:1A6:1A9 and 20:32:22:21:5 for UGT2B4:2B7:2B10:2B15:2B17. The human kidney and intestine also showed unique compositions of UGT1As and UGT2Bs. The reproducibility of the approach was validated by assessing correlations of UGT compositions between HLM and HLS9 (R2> 0.91). The analysis of the conserved peptides also provided the abundance for individual UGT isoforms included in this investigation as well as the total abundance (pmol/mg protein) of UGT1As and UGT2Bs across tissues, i.e., 268 and 342 (HLM), 21 and 92 (HIM), and 138 and 99 (HKM), respectively. The CPSP approach could be used for applications in the in-vitro-to-in-vivo extrapolation of drug metabolism and PBPK modeling. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: We quantified the absolute compositions and total abundance of UDP glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) in pooled human liver, intestine, and kidney microsomes using a novel conserved-plus-surrogate peptide (CPSP) approach. The CPSP approach addresses the surrogate peptide-specific variability in the determination of the absolute composition of UGTs. The data presented in this manuscript are applicable for the estimation of the fraction metabolized by individual UGTs towards better in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation of UGT-mediated drug metabolism.

Impact of ABCG2 and ABCB1 Polymorphisms on Imatinib Plasmatic Exposure: An Original Work and Meta-Analysis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043303. [PMID: 36834713 PMCID: PMC9963452 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Adequate imatinib plasma levels are necessary to guarantee an efficacious and safe treatment in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Imatinib is a substrate of the drug transporters ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) that can affect its plasma concentration. In the present study, the association between three genetic polymorphisms in ABCB1 (rs1045642, rs2032582, rs1128503) and one in ABCG2 (rs2231142) and the imatinib plasma trough concentration (Ctrough) was investigated in 33 GIST patients enrolled in a prospective clinical trial. The results of the study were meta-analyzed with those of other seven studies (including a total of 649 patients) selected from the literature through a systematic review process. The ABCG2 c.421C>A genotype demonstrated, in our cohort of patients, a borderline association with imatinib plasma trough levels that became significant in the meta-analysis. Specifically, homozygous carriers of the ABCG2 c.421 A allele showed higher imatinib plasma Ctrough with respect to the CC/CA carriers (Ctrough, 1463.2 ng/mL AA, vs. 1196.6 ng/mL CC + AC, p = 0.04) in 293 patients eligible for the evaluation of this polymorphism in the meta-analysis. The results remained significant under the additive model. No significant association could be described between ABCB1 polymorphisms and imatinib Ctrough, neither in our cohort nor in the meta-analysis. In conclusion, our results and the available literature studies sustain an association between ABCG2 c.421C>A and imatinib plasma Ctrough in GIST and CML patients.

Abstract
Poor and variable oral bioavailability of furosemide (FUR) presents critical challenges in pharmacotherapy. We investigated the interplay of breast cancer resistance protein (Bcrp)-mediated transport, sex, and fed state on FUR pharmacokinetics (PK) in rats. A crossover PK study of FUR (5 mg/kg, oral) was performed in Sprague-Dawley rats (3 males and 3 females), alone or with a Bcrp inhibitor, novobiocin (NOV) (20 mg/kg, oral), in both fed and fasted states. Co-administration of NOV significantly increased FUR extent (AUC) and rate (Cmax) of exposure by more than two-fold, which indicates efficient Bcrp inhibition in the intestine. The female rats showed two-fold higher AUC and Cmax, and two-fold lower renal clearance of FUR compared to the male rats. The latter was correlated with higher renal abundance of Bcrp and organic anion transporters (Oats) in the male rats compared to age-matched female rats. These findings suggest that the PK of Bcrp and/or Oat substrates could be sex-dependent in rats. Moreover, allometric scaling of rat PK and toxicological data of Bcrp substrates should consider species and sex differences in Bcrp and Oat abundance in the kidney. Considering that Bcrp is abundant in the intestine of rats and humans, a prospective clinical study is warranted to evaluate the effect of Bcrp inhibition on FUR PK. The potential confounding effect of the Bcrp transporter should be considered when FUR is used as a clinical probe of renal organic anion transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions. Unlike human data, no food-effect was observed on FUR PK in rats.

Abstract
Transmembrane drug transport in hepatocytes is one of the major determinants of drug pharmacokinetics. In the present study, ABC transporters (P-gp, MRP1, MRP2, MRP3, MRP4, BCRP, and BSEP) and SLC transporters (MCT1, NTCP, OAT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, OCT1, and OCT3) were quantified for protein abundance (LC-MS/MS) and mRNA levels (qRT-PCR) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected liver samples from the Child–Pugh class A (n = 30), B (n = 21), and C (n = 7) patients. Protein levels of BSEP, MRP3, MCT1, OAT2, OATP1B3, and OCT3 were not significantly affected by HCV infection. P-gp, MRP1, BCRP, and OATP1B3 protein abundances were upregulated, whereas those of MRP2, MRP4, NTCP, OATP2B1, and OCT1 were downregulated in all HCV samples. The observed changes started to be seen in the Child–Pugh class A livers, i.e., upregulation of P-gp and MRP1 and downregulation of MRP2, MRP4, BCRP, and OATP1B3. In the case of NTCP, OATP2B1, and OCT1, a decrease in the protein levels was observed in the class B livers. In the class C livers, no other changes were noted than those in the class A and B patients. The results of the study demonstrate that drug transporter protein abundances are affected by the functional state of the liver in hepatitis C patients.

Abstract
A reliable translation of in vitro and preclinical data on drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) to humans is important for safe and effective drug development. Precision medicine that is expected to provide the right clinical dose for the right patient at the right time requires a comprehensive understanding of population factors affecting drug disposition and response. Characterization of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters for the protein abundance and their interindividual as well as differential tissue and cross-species variabilities is important for translational ADME and precision medicine. This review first provides a brief overview of quantitative proteomics principles including liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry tools, data acquisition approaches, proteomics sample preparation techniques, and quality controls for ensuring rigor and reproducibility in protein quantification data. Then, potential applications of quantitative proteomics in the translation of in vitro and preclinical data as well as prediction of interindividual variability are discussed in detail with tabulated examples. The applications of quantitative proteomics data in physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling for ADME prediction are discussed with representative case examples. Finally, various considerations for reliable quantitative proteomics analysis for translational ADME and precision medicine and the future directions are discussed. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Quantitative proteomics analysis of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters in humans and preclinical species provides key physiological information that assists in the translation of in vitro and preclinical data to humans. This review provides the principles and applications of quantitative proteomics in characterizing in vitro, ex vivo, and preclinical models for translational research and interindividual variability prediction. Integration of these data into physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling is proving to be critical for safe, effective, timely, and cost-effective drug development.

Abstract
Clinical and genetic influencing factors on free fraction of mycophenolic acid (MPA) have rarely been discussed. The present study investigated whether the clinical and genetic factors could explain the variability in the pharmacokinetics of free MPA (fMPA) and total MPA (tMPA) in Chinese paediatric and adult renal transplant recipients. Twenty-eight paediatric and 31 adult patients were enrolled, and the concentrations of tMPA and fMPA were determined at 0 h (predose) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 12 h after mycophenolate mofetil administration. Genetic polymorphisms of UGTs (rs671448, rs1042597, rs2741049, rs62298861, rs7439366, rs12233719) and ABCC2 (rs717620) were simultaneously determined. The clinical and genetic data were analysed and reported. tMPA and fMPA concentrations adjusted for dose per body weight were consistently higher in adults than in paediatric patients. In the paediatric group, only albumin and time after transplantation correlated significantly with the MPA-free fraction variation, which could explain 32.4% of the variability. Besides, ABCC2 polymorphism, albumin and time after transplantation correlated significantly with the MPA-free fraction variation in adults, which could explain 56.9% of the variability. The influencing factors in the paediatric group are different from those in adults, which may be due to age-related transporter expression.

Abstract
Background The accumulation of endogenous hepatotoxin protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) in the liver was proposed to be a novel mechanism of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH). ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG2) plays an important role in modulating PPIX concentrations. This study aimed to explore the role of ABCG2 genetic polymorphisms in the risk of ATDH in Chinese patients.Methods A 1:4 matched case-control study was performed among 202 ATDH cases and 808 controls. Conditional logistic regression model was used to estimate the association between genotypes and the risk of ATDH by odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results Male patients with CC genotype of rs2622605 had an increased risk of ATDH (adjusted OR =1.615, 95% CI: 1.119-2.332, P = 0.011). The peak value of alkaline phosphatase was significantly higher in male patients with CC genotype of rs2622605 than in those with TT + TC genotype during antituberculosis treatment (102.0 U/L vs. 98.0 U/L, P = 0.029).Conclusions This is the first attempt to evaluate the association between ABCG2 genetic variants and the risk of ATDH. Based on the 1:4 matched case-control study, the polymorphism at rs2622605 in the ABCG2 gene may be associated with the susceptibility to ATDH in Chinese male patients.

Furmonertinib (Alflutinib, AST2818) is a potential positive control drug comparable to rifampin for evaluation of CYP3A4 induction in sandwich-cultured primary human hepatocytes. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2022; 43:747-756. [PMID: 34035488 PMCID: PMC8888569 DOI: 10.1038/s41401-021-00692-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Furmonertinib (Alflutinib, AST2818), as a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor with an advanced efficacy and a relatively wide safety window, has been commercially launched in China recently. However, previous clinical studies demonstrated its time- and dose-dependent clearance in a multiple-dose regimen. In vitro drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies have suggested that furmonertinib is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and can induce these enzymes via an increased mRNA expression. This study investigated two important evaluation criteria of CYP3A4 induction by furmonertinib through quantitative proteomics and probe metabolite formation: simultaneous (1) protein expression and (2) enzyme activity with sandwich-cultured primary human hepatocytes in the same well of cell culture plates. Results confirmed that furmonertinib was a potent CYP3A4 inducer comparable with rifampin and could be used as a positive model drug in in vitro studies to evaluate the induction potential of other drug candidates in preclinical studies. In addition, inconsistencies were observed between the protein expression and enzyme activities of CYP3A4 in cells induced by rifampin but not in groups treated with furmonertinib. As such, furmonertinib could be an ideal positive control in the evaluation of CYP3A4 induction. The cells treated with 10 µM rifampin expressed 20.16 ± 5.78 pmol/mg total protein, whereas the cells induced with 0.5 µM furmonertinib expressed 4.8 ± 0.66 pmol/mg protein compared with the vehicle (0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide), which contained 0.65 ± 0.45 pmol/mg protein. The fold change in the CYP3A4 enzyme activity in the cells treated with rifampin was 5.22 ± 1.13, which was similar to that of 0.5 µM furmonertinib (3.79 ± 0.52).

Abstract
Mathematical models, such as physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic models, are used to predict, for example, drug disposition and toxicity. However, populations differ in the abundance of proteins involved in these processes. To improve the building and refinement of such models, they must take into account these interindividual variabilities. In this study, we used global proteomics to characterize the protein composition of jejunum and liver from 37 donors with obesity enrolled in the COCKTAIL study. Liver protein levels from the 37 donors were further compared with those from donors without obesity. We quantified thousands of proteins and could present the expression of several drug‐metabolizing enzymes, for the first time, in jejunum, many of which belong to the cytochrome P450 (CYP) (e.g., CYP2U1) and the amine oxidase (flavin‐containing) (e.g., monoamine oxidase A (MAOA)) families. Although we show that many metabolizing enzymes had greater expression in liver, others had higher expression in jejunum (such as, MAOA and CES2), indicating the role of the small intestine in extrahepatic drug metabolism. We further show that proteins involved in drug disposition are not correlated in the two donor‐matched tissues. These proteins also do not correlate with physiological factors such as body mass index, age, and inflammation status in either tissue. Furthermore, the majority of these proteins are not differently expressed in donors with or without obesity. Nonetheless, interindividual differences were considerable, with implications for personalized prediction models and systems pharmacology.

Abstract
Simple Summary The drug efflux mediated by xenobiotic transporters is one of the best recognized mechanisms of multidrug resistance in cancer that leads to the failure of therapeutic approaches. The aim of our research was to examine the influence of a growing tumor on the activity of xenobiotic transport in the host. Our study reveals a strong correlation between the development of melanoma tumor in mice and the level of breast cancer resistance protein, one of the major xenobiotic transporters, and its transcript in the normal tissues of the hosts distant from the tumor site. The systemic effects of the tumor are confirmed by a drastically enhanced xenobiotic transport, which is correlated with changes in the level of cytokines in blood. Such an unexpected type of tumor–host interaction, which leads to the systemic upregulation of breast cancer resistance protein, and very likely of other xenobiotic transporters too, has broad implications for cancer therapies, including chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy. Our findings shed new light on the biology of cancer and the complexity of cancer–host interactions that should be taken into account in the design of new generations of anti-cancer drugs and personalized medicine. Abstract The breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP or ABCG2) involved in cancer multidrug resistance (MDR), transports many hydrophobic compounds, including a number of anti-cancer drugs. Our comprehensive study using a mouse model reveals that a subcutaneously growing tumor strongly affects the expression of BCRP in the host’s normal organs on both the transcriptional and translational level. Additionally, the efflux of BCRP substrates is markedly enhanced. The levels of BCRP and its transcript in normal tissues distant from the tumor site correlate with tumor growth and the levels of cytokines in the peripheral blood. Thus, oncogenic stress causes transient systemic upregulation of BCRP in the host’s normal tissues and organs, which is possibly mediated via cytokines. Because BCRP upregulation takes place in many organs as early as the initial stages of tumor development, it reveals a most basic mechanism that may be responsible for the induction of primary MDR. We hypothesize that such effects are not tumor-specific responses, but rather constitute a more universal defense strategy. The xenobiotic transporters are systemically mobilized due to various stresses, seemingly in a pre-emptive manner so that the body can be quickly and efficiently detoxified. Our findings shed new light on the biology of cancer and on the complexity of cancer–host interactions and are highly relevant to cancer therapies as well as to the design of new generations of therapeutics and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Membrane transporters have been recognized as one of the key determinants of pharmacokinetics and are also known to affect the efficacy and toxicity of drugs. Both qualitatively and quantitatively, however, transporter studies conducted using human in vitro systems have not always been predictive. Consequently, researchers have utilized cynomolgus monkeys as a model to study drug transporters and anticipate their effects in humans. Burgeoning reports of data in the last few years necessitates a comprehensive review on the topic of drug transporters in cynomolgus monkeys that includes cell-based tools, sequence homology, tissue expression, in vitro studies, in vivo studies, and in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE). This review highlights the state-of-the-art applications of monkey transporter models to support the evaluation of transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions, clearance predictions, and endogenous transporter biomarker identification and validation. The data demonstrate that cynomolgus monkey transporter models, when used appropriately, can be an invaluable tool to support drug discovery and development processes. Most importantly, they provide an early IVIVE assessment which provides additional context to human in vitro data. Additionally, comprehending species similarities and differences in transporter tissue expression and activity is crucial when translating monkey data to humans. The challenges and limitations when applying such models to inform decision-making must also be considered. Significance Statement This paper presents a comprehensive review of currently available published reports describing cynomolgus monkey transporter models. The data indicate that cynomolgus monkeys provide mechanistic insight regarding the role of intestinal, hepatic, and renal transporters in drug and biomarker disposition and drug interactions. It is concluded that the data generated with cynomolgus monkey models provide mechanistic insight regarding transporter-mediated absorption and disposition, as well as human clearance prediction, drug-drug interaction assessment, and endogenous biomarker development related to drug transporters.

Abstract
The widely expressed and poly-specific ABC transporters breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2) and P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) are co-localized at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and have shown to limit the brain distribution of several clinically used ABCB1/ABCG2 substrate drugs. It is currently not known to which extent these transporters, which are also expressed at the blood-retinal barrier (BRB), may limit drug distribution to the human eye and whether the ABCG2 reduced-function single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Q141K (c.421C > A) has an impact on retinal drug distribution. Ten healthy male volunteers (five subjects with the c.421CC and c.421CA genotype, respectively) underwent two consecutive positron emission tomography (PET) scans after intravenous injection of the model ABCB1/ABCG2 substrate [11C]tariquidar. The second PET scan was performed with concurrent intravenous infusion of unlabelled tariquidar to inhibit ABCB1 in order to specifically reveal ABCG2 function.In response to ABCB1 inhibition with unlabelled tariquidar, ABCG2 c.421C > A genotype carriers showed significant increases (as compared to the baseline scan) in retinal radiotracer influx K1 (+62 ± 57%, p = 0.043) and volume of distribution VT (+86 ± 131%, p = 0.043), but no significant changes were observed in subjects with the c.421C > C genotype. Our results provide the first evidence that ABCB1 and ABCG2 may together limit the distribution of systemically administered ABCB1/ABCG2 substrate drugs to the human retina. Functional redundancy between ABCB1 and ABCG2 appears to be compromised in carriers of the c.421C > A SNP who may therefore be more susceptible to transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions at the BRB than non-carriers.

Abstract
![]()
Our goal was to measure the absolute
differential abundance of
key drug transporters in human epileptogenic brain tissue and to compare
them between patients and at various distances from the epileptogenic
zone within the same patient. Transporter protein abundance was quantified
in brain tissue homogenates from patients who underwent epilepsy surgery,
using targeted proteomics, and correlations with clinical and tissue
characteristics were assessed. Fourteen brain samples (including four
epileptogenic hippocampal samples) were collected from nine patients.
Among the quantifiable drug transporters, the abundance (median, range)
ranked: breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2/BCRP; 0.55, 0.01–3.26
pmol/g tissue) > P-glycoprotein (ABCB1/MDR1; 0.30,
0.02–1.15 pmol/g tissue) > equilibrative nucleoside transporter
1 (SLC29A1/ENT1; 0.06, 0.001–0.35 pmol/g tissue). The ABCB1/ABCG2
ratio (mean 0.27, range 0.08–0.47) was comparable with literature
values from nonepileptogenic brain tissue (mean 0.5–0.8). Transporter
abundance was lower in the hippocampi than in the less epileptogenic
neocortex of the same patients. ABCG2/BCRP and ABCB1/MDR1 expression
strongly correlated with that of glucose transporter 1 (SLC2A1/GLUT1)
(r = 0.97, p < 0.001; r = 0.90, p < 0.01, respectively). Low
transporter abundance was found in patients with overt vascular pathology,
whereas the highest abundance was seen in a sample with normally appearing
blood vessels. In conclusion, drug transporter abundance highly varies
across patients and between epileptogenic and less epileptogenic brain
tissue of the same patient. The strong correlation in abundance of
ABCB1/MDR1, ABCG2/BCRP, and SLC2A1/GLUT1 suggests variation in the
content of the functional vasculature within the tissue samples. The
epileptogenic tissue can be depleted of key drug transport mechanisms,
warranting consideration when selecting treatments for patients with
drug-resistant epilepsy.

Ontogeny of Hepatic Transporters and Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes in Humans and in Nonclinical Species. Pharmacol Rev 2021; 73:597-678.

Abstract
The liver represents a major eliminating and detoxifying organ, determining exposure to endogenous compounds, drugs, and other xenobiotics. Drug transporters (DTs) and drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) are key determinants of disposition, efficacy, and toxicity of drugs. Changes in their mRNA and protein expression levels and associated functional activity between the perinatal period until adulthood impact drug disposition. However, high-resolution ontogeny profiles for hepatic DTs and DMEs in nonclinical species and humans are lacking. Meanwhile, increasing use of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models necessitates availability of underlying ontogeny profiles to reliably predict drug exposure in children. In addition, understanding of species similarities and differences in DT/DME ontogeny is crucial for selecting the most appropriate animal species when studying the impact of development on pharmacokinetics. Cross-species ontogeny mapping is also required for adequate translation of drug disposition data in developing nonclinical species to humans. This review presents a quantitative cross-species compilation of the ontogeny of DTs and DMEs relevant to hepatic drug disposition. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed Central: Tables and graphs (often after digitization) in original manuscripts were used to extract ontogeny data. Data from independent studies were standardized and normalized before being compiled in graphs and tables for further interpretation. New insights gained from these high-resolution ontogeny profiles will be indispensable to understand cross-species differences in maturation of hepatic DTs and DMEs. Integration of these ontogeny data into PBPK models will support improved predictions of pediatric hepatic drug disposition processes. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Hepatic drug transporters (DTs) and drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) play pivotal roles in hepatic drug disposition. Developmental changes in expression levels and activities of these proteins drive age-dependent pharmacokinetics. This review compiles the currently available ontogeny profiles of DTs and DMEs expressed in livers of humans and nonclinical species, enabling robust interpretation of age-related changes in drug disposition and ultimately optimization of pediatric drug therapy.

Abstract
Emerging information suggests that liver pathological states may affect the expression and function of membrane transporters in the gastrointestinal tract and the kidney. Altered status of the transporters could affect drug as well as endogenous compounds handling with subsequent clinical consequences. It seems that changes in intestinal and kidney transporter functions provide the compensatory activity of eliminating endogenous compounds (e.g., bile acids) generated and accumulated due to liver dysfunction. A literature search was conducted on the Ovid and PubMed databases to select relevant in vitro, animal and human studies that have reported expression, protein abundance and function of the gastrointestinal and kidney operating ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters and SLC (solute carriers) carriers. The accumulated data suggest that liver failure-associated transporter alterations in the gastrointestinal tract and kidney may affect drug pharmacokinetics. The altered status of drug transporters in those organs in liver dysfunction conditions may provide compensatory activity in handling endogenous compounds, affecting local drug actions as well as drug pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The elderly population receives the majority of prescription drugs but are usually excluded from Phase 1 clinical trials. Alternative approaches to estimate increases in toxicity risk or decreases in efficacy are therefore needed. This study predicted the pharmacokinetics (PK) of three renally excreted antiretroviral drugs in the elderly population and compared them with known exposures in renal impairment, to evaluate the need for dosing adjustments. METHODS The performance of the physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for tenofovir, lamivudine and emtricitabine were verified using clinical data in young and older subjects. Models were then used to predict PK profiles in a virtual population aged 20 to 49 years (young) and a geriatric population aged 65 to 74 years (elderly). Predicted exposure in the elderly was then compared with exposure reported for different degrees of renal impairment, where doses have been defined. RESULTS An increase in exposure (AUC) with advancing age was predicted for all drugs. The mean ratio of the increase in exposure were 1.40 for emtricitabine, 1.42 for lamivudine and 1.48 for tenofovir. The majority of virtual patients had exposures that did not require dosage adjustments. About 22% of patients on tenofovir showed exposures similar to that in moderate renal impairment, where dosage reduction may be required. CONCLUSION Comparison of the exposure in the elderly with exposure observed in patients with different levels of renal impairment, indicated that a dosage adjustment may not be required in elderly patients on lamivudine, emtricitabine and the majority of the patients on tenofovir. Clinical trials to verify these predictions are essential.

Abstract
P-Glycoprotein (ABCB1) and breast cancer resistance protein (ABCG2) in the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes mediate the biliary excretion of drugs and drug metabolites. To measure hepatic ABCB1 and ABCG2 activity, we performed positron emission tomography (PET) scans with the ABCB1/ABCG2 substrate [11C]tariquidar in healthy volunteers and wild-type, Abcb1a/b(-/-), Abcg2(-/-), and Abcb1a/b(-/-)Abcg2(-/-) mice without and with coadministration of unlabeled tariquidar. PET data were analyzed with a three-compartment pharmacokinetic model. [11C]Tariquidar underwent hepatobiliary excretion in both humans and mice, and tariquidar coadministration caused a significant reduction in the rate constant for the transfer of radioactivity from the liver into bile (by -74% in humans and by -62% in wild-type mice), suggesting inhibition of canalicular efflux transporter activity. Radio-thin-layer chromatography analysis revealed that the majority of radioactivity (>87%) in the mouse liver and bile was composed of unmetabolized [11C]tariquidar. PET data in transporter knockout mice revealed that both ABCB1 and ABCG2 mediated biliary excretion of [11C]tariquidar. In vitro experiments indicated that tariquidar is not a substrate of major hepatic basolateral uptake transporters (SLCO1B1, SLCO1B3, SLCO2B1, SLC22A1, and SLC22A3). Our data suggest that [11C]tariquidar can be used to measure hepatic canalicular ABCB1/ABCG2 transport activity without a confounding effect of uptake transporters.

Abstract
An important factor determining the pharmacological response to antitumor drugs is their concentrations in cancer cells, which accounts for the net interaction with their intracellular molecular targets. Accordingly, mechanisms leading to reduced intracellular levels of active agents play a crucial role in cancer chemoresistance. These include impaired drug uptake through solute carrier (SLC) proteins and efficient drug export by ATP-dependent pumps belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of proteins. Since the net movement of drugs in-and-out the cells depends on the overall expression of carrier proteins, defining the so-called transportome, special attention has been devoted to the study of transcriptome regarding these proteins. Nevertheless, genetic variants affecting SLC and ABC genes may markedly affect the bioavailability and, hence, the efficacy of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Renal transporters, which are primarily located in the proximal tubules, play an important role in secretion and nephrotoxicity of drugs. The goal of this study was to characterize the age-dependent protein abundance of human renal transporters. A total of 43 human kidneys, 26 of which were paired with livers from the same donors, were obtained and classified into three age groups: children (< 12 years), adolescents (12 to < 18 years), and adults (> 18 years). Protein abundance of kidney-specific anatomical markers, aquaporins 1 and 2 (markers of proximal and distal/collecting tubules, respectively), and 17 transporters was quantified by LC-MS/MS proteomics. Six out of 43 kidney samples were identified as outliers (Grubbs' test) that were significantly different from the others with relatively higher aquaporin 2 to aquaporin 1 ratio, indicating that these cortex samples were likely contaminated by medulla (representing distal/collecting tubules). No significant age-related changes (age > 1 year) were observed for renal transporter abundance, albeit OCT2 abundance was modestly higher (< 50%) in adolescents than that in adults. Higher protein-protein correlation between transporters was observed in the kidney but abundance of transporters between tissues was not correlated. The use of aquaporins 1 and 2 provides a method for identifying kidney cortex with significant contamination from medulla containing distal and collecting tubules. The abundance and protein-protein correlation data can be used in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and simulation of renal drug disposition and clearance in pediatric populations.

Abstract
Precision medicine is a rapidly-developing modality of medicine in human healthcare. Based on each patient׳s unique characteristics, more accurate dosages and drug selection can be made to achieve better therapeutic efficacy and less adverse reactions in precision medicine. A patient׳s individual parameters that affect drug transporter action can be used to develop a precision medicine guidance, due to the fact that therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions of drugs can both be affected by expression and function of drug transporters on the cell membrane surface. The purpose of this review is to summarize unique characteristics of human breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP) and the genetic variability in the BCRP encoded gene ABCG2 in the development of precision medicine. Inter-individual variability of BCRP/ABCG2 can impact choices and outcomes of drug treatment for several diseases, including cancer chemotherapy. Several factors have been implicated in expression and function of BCRP, including genetic, epigenetic, physiologic, pathologic, and environmental factors. Understanding the roles of these factors in controlling expression and function of BCRP is critical for the development of precision medicine based on BCRP-mediated drug transport.

Abstract
For in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) of brain distribution of drugs that are transported at the human blood-brain barrier (BBB), it is important to quantify the interindividual and regional variability of drug transporter abundance at this barrier. Therefore, using quantitative targeted proteomics, we compared the abundance of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette and solute carrier transporters in brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) isolated from postmortem specimens of two matched brain regions, the occipital (Brodmann Area (BA)17) and parietal (BA39) lobe, from 30 adults. Of the quantifiable transporters, the abundance ranked: glucose transporter (GLUT)1 > breast cancer resistance protein > P-glycoprotein (P-gp) > equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT)1 > organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)2B1. The abundance of multidrug resistance protein 1/2/3/4, OATP1A2, organic anion transporter (OAT)3, organic cation transporter (OCT)1/2, OCTN1/2, or ENT2 was below the limit of quantification. Transporter abundance per gram of tissue (scaled using GLUT1 abundance in BMEC vs. brain homogenate) in BA17 was 30-42% higher than BA39. The interindividual variability in transporter abundance (percentage of coefficient of variation (%CV)) was 35-57% (BA17) and 27-46% (BA39). These data can be used in proteomics-informed bottom-up IVIVE to predict human brain drug distribution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ABCG2 has a broad substrate specificity and is one of the most important efflux proteins modulating pharmacokinetics of drugs, nutrients and toxicokinetics of toxicants. ABCG2 is an important player in transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions (tDDI). Areas covered: The aims of the review are i) to cover transporter interaction profile of substrates and inhibitors that can be utilized to test interaction of drug candidates with ABCG2, ii) to highlight main characteristics of in vitro testing and iii) to describe the structural basis of the broad substrate specificity of the protein. Preclinical data utilizing Abcg2/Bcrp1 knockouts and clinical studies showing effect of ABCG2 c.421C>A polymorphism on pharmacokinetics of drugs have provided evidence for a broad array of drug substrates and support drug - ABCG2 interaction testing. A consensus on using rosuvastatin and sulfasalazine as intestinal substrates for clinical studies is in the formation. Other substrates relevant to the therapeutic area can be considered. Monolayer efflux assays and vesicular transport assays have been extensively utilized in vitro. Expert opinion: Clinical substrates display complex pharmacokinetics due to broad interaction profiles with multiple transporters and metabolic enzymes. Substrate-dependent inhibition has been observed for several inhibitors. Harmonization of in vitro and in vivo testing makes sense. However, rosuvastatin and sulfasalazine are not efficiently transported in either MDCKII or LLC-PK1-based monolayers. Caco-2 monolayer assays and vesicular transport assays are potential alternatives.

Abstract
Bioavailability of orally administered drugs is partly determined by function of drug transporters in the liver and intestine. Therefore, we explored adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) and solute carriers family transporters expression (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) and protein abundance (liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)) in human liver and duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon in paired tissue specimens from nine organ donors. The transporter proteins were detected in the liver (permeability-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance protein (MRP)2, MRP3, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, organic cation transporter (OCT)1, OCT3, organic anion transporter 2, Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide, monocarboxylate transporter (MCT)1, and multidrug and toxin extrusion 1) and the intestine (P-gp, multidrug-resistance protein (MRP)2, MRP3, MRP4, BCRP, OATP2B1, OCT1, apical sodium-bile acid transporter (only ileum), MCT1, and peptide transporter (PEPT1)). Significantly higher hepatic gene expression and protein abundance of ABCC2/MRP2, SLC22A1/OCT1, and SLCO2B1/OATP2B1 were found, as compared to all intestinal segments. No correlations between hepatic and small intestinal protein levels were observed. These observations provide a description of drug transporters distribution without the impact of interindividual variability bias and may help in construction of superior physiologically based pharmacokinetic and humanized animal models.

Abstract
Targeted protein quantification using tandem mass spectrometry coupled to high performance chromatography (LC-MS/MS) has been used to quantify proteins involved in the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of xenobiotics to better understand these processes. At the blood-brain barrier (BBB), these proteins are particularly important for the maintenance of brain homeostasis, but also regulate the distribution of therapeutic drugs. Absolute quantification (AQUA) is achieved by using stable isotope labeled surrogate peptides specific to the target protein and analyzing the digested proteins in a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode to achieve a high specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and reproducibility. The main objective in this work was to develop and validate an UHPLC-MS/MS method for quantification of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins Bcrp and P-gp and Na+/K + ATPase pump at the BBB. Three isoforms of the α-subunit from this pump (Atp1a 1, 2 and 3) were quantified to evaluate the presence of non-endothelial cells in the BBB using one common and three isoform-specific peptides; while Bcrp ad P-gp were quantified using 2 and 3 peptides, respectively, to improve the confidence on their quantification. The protein digestion was optimized, and the analytical method was comprehensively validated according to the American Food and Drug Administration Bioanalytical Method Validation Guidance published in 2018. Linearity across four magnitude orders (0.125 to 510 pmol·mL-1) sub-pmol·mL-1 LOD and LOQ, accuracy and precision (deviation < 15% and CV < 15%) were proven for most of the peptides by analyzing calibration curves and four levels of quality controls in both a pure solution and a complex matrix of digested yeast proteins, to mimic the matrix effect. In addition, digestion performance and stability of the peptides was shown using standard peptides spiked in a yeast digest or mouse kidney plasma membrane proteins as a study case. The validated method was used to characterize mouse kidney plasma membrane proteins, mouse brain cortical vessels and rat brain cortical microvessels. Most of the results agree with previously reported values, although some differences are seen due to different sample treatment, heterogeneity of the sample or peptide used. Importantly, the use of three peptides allowed the quantification of P-gp in mouse kidney plasma membrane proteins which was below the limit of quantification of the previously NTTGALTTR peptide. The different levels obtained for each peptide highlight the importance and difficulty of choosing surrogate peptides for protein quantification. In addition, using isoform-specific peptides for the quantification of the Na+/K + ATPase pump, we evaluated the presence of neuronal and glial cells on rat and mouse brain cortical vessels in addition to endothelial cells. In mouse liver and kidney, only the alpha-1 isoform was detected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic membrane transporters are involved in the transport of many endogenous and exogenous compounds, including drugs. We aimed to study the relation of age with absolute transporter protein expression in a cohort of 62 mainly fetus and newborn samples. METHODS Protein expressions of BCRP, BSEP, GLUT1, MCT1, MDR1, MRP1, MRP2, MRP3, NTCP, OCT1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1 and ATP1A1 were quantified with LC-MS/MS in isolated crude membrane fractions of snap-frozen post-mortem fetal and pediatric, and surgical adult liver samples. mRNA expression was quantified using RNA sequencing, and genetic variants with TaqMan assays. We explored relationships between protein expression and age (gestational age [GA], postnatal age [PNA], and postmenstrual age); between protein and mRNA expression; and between protein expression and genotype. RESULTS We analyzed 36 fetal (median GA 23.4 weeks [range 15.3-41.3]), 12 premature newborn (GA 30.2 weeks [24.9-36.7], PNA 1.0 weeks [0.14-11.4]), 10 term newborn (GA 40.0 weeks [39.7-41.3], PNA 3.9 weeks [0.3-18.1]), 4 pediatric (PNA 4.1 years [1.1-7.4]) and 8 adult liver samples. A relationship with age was found for BCRP, BSEP, GLUT1, MDR1, MRP1, MRP2, MRP3, NTCP, OATP1B1 and OCT1, with the strongest relationship for postmenstrual age. For most transporters mRNA and protein expression were not correlated. No genotype-protein expression relationship was detected. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Various developmental patterns of protein expression of hepatic transporters emerged in fetuses and newborns up to four months of age. Postmenstrual age was the most robust factor predicting transporter expression in this cohort. Our data fill an important gap in current pediatric transporter ontogeny knowledge.

Purpose The overexpression of ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC transporters), mainly including permeability glycoproteins (P-gp), multidrug resistance (MDR)-related protein 1 (MRP1), and breast cancer resistance proteins (BCRP), is one of the main reasons for the development of MDR which directly leads to chemotherapy failure. However, most of the currently used detection methods in MDR-related studies are qualitative or semiquantitative, but not quantitative. As a result, the measurement criteria of different experiments are not unified. Moreover, there are many contradictory results of the studies of the induction effect of drugs on ABC transporters. So, it is necessary to establish a quantitative assay for the quantification of P-gp, MRP1, and BCRP to study the mechanism of drug resistance. Methods In this paper, a novel and advanced liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (MS)/MS-based targeted proteomics method for the quantification of P-gp, MRP1, and BCRP was developed and validated. Then, the cell lines MCF-7, HepG-2, and SMMC-7721 were, respectively, induced by different concentrations of doxorubicin (adriamycin [ADM]), mitoxantrone (MX), and methotrexate (MTX), to establish resistance cell lines. The method established was used to quantify the expression of P-gp, MRP1, and BCRP. Results The result showed that the induction effects of drugs on protein were relatively stable and selective. ADM, MX, and MTX could induce overexpression of P-gp, MRP1, and BCRP. And, the induction effect of different drugs on proteins was selective. The pattern of overexpression of ABC transporters in the three types of resistance cell lines was different. Conclusion During the development of drug resistance, the cell type and patch, but not drug type, were the most important determinant factors of the overexpression level of ABC transporters in resistance cell lines. This study provides a good foundation for understanding the development of drug resistance in cell lines and can be used to explain the contradictory results in other published studies as described above.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Given that membrane efflux transporters can influence a drug's pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety, identifying potential substrates and inhibitors of these transporters is a critical element in the drug discovery and development process. Additionally, it is important to predict the inhibition potential of new drugs to avoid clinically significant drug interactions. The goal of preclinical studies is to characterize a new drug as a substrate or inhibitor of efflux transporters. Areas covered: This article reviews preclinical systems that are routinely utilized to determine whether a new drug is substrate or inhibitor of efflux transporters including in silico models, in vitro membrane and cell assays, and animal models. Also included is an examination of studies comparing in vitro inhibition data to clinical drug interaction outcomes. Expert opinion: While a number of models are employed to classify a drug as an efflux substrate or inhibitor, there are challenges in predicting clinical drug interactions. Improvements could be made in these predictions through a tier approach to classify new drugs, validation of preclinical assays, and refinement of threshold criteria for clinical interaction studies.

Abstract
Transporter systems involved in the permeation of drugs and solutes across biological membranes are recognized as key determinants of pharmacokinetics. Typically, the action of membrane transporters on drug exposure to tissues in living organisms is inferred from invasive procedures, which cannot be applied in humans. In recent years, imaging methods have greatly progressed in terms of instruments, synthesis of novel imaging probes as well as tools for data analysis. Imaging allows pharmacokinetic parameters in different tissues and organs to be obtained in a non-invasive or minimally invasive way. The aim of this overview is to summarize the current status in the field of molecular imaging of drug transporters. The overview is focused on human studies, both for the characterization of transport systems for imaging agents as well as for the determination of drug pharmacokinetics, and makes reference to animal studies where necessary. We conclude that despite certain methodological limitations, imaging has a great potential to study transporters at work in humans and that imaging will become an important tool, not only in drug development but also in medicine. Imaging allows the mechanistic aspects of transport proteins to be studied, as well as elucidating the influence of genetic background, pathophysiological states and drug-drug interactions on the function of transporters involved in the disposition of drugs.

Abstract
Protein expression of major hepatobiliary drug transporters (NTCP, OATPs, OCT1, BSEP, BCRP, MATE1, MRPs, and P-gp) in cancerous (C, n = 8) and adjacent noncancerous (NC, n = 33) liver tissues obtained from patients with chronic hepatitis C with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCV-HCC) were quantified by LC-MS/MS proteomics. Herein, we compare our results with our previous data from noninfected, noncirrhotic (control, n = 36) and HCV-cirrhotic (n = 30) livers. The amount of membrane protein yielded from NC and C HCV-HCC tissues decreased (31%, 67%) relative to control livers. In comparison with control livers, with the exception of NTCP, MRP2, and MATE1, transporter expression decreased in NC (38%-76%) and C (56%-96%) HCV-HCC tissues. In NC HCV-HCC tissues, NTCP expression increased (113%), MATE1 expression decreased (58%), and MRP2 expression was unchanged relative to control livers. In C HCV-HCC tissues, NTCP and MRP2 expression decreased (63%, 56%) and MATE1 expression was unchanged relative to control livers. Compared with HCV-cirrhotic livers, aside from NTCP, OCT1, BSEP, and MRP2, transporter expression decreased in NC (41%-71%) and C (54%-89%) HCV-HCC tissues. In NC HCV-HCC tissues, NTCP and MRP2 expression increased (362%, 142%), whereas OCT1 and BSEP expression was unchanged. In C HCV-HCC tissues, OCT1 and BSEP expression decreased (90%, 80%) relative to HCV-cirrhotic livers, whereas NTCP and MRP2 expression was unchanged. Expression of OATP2B1, BSEP, MRP2, and MRP3 decreased (56%-72%) in C HCV-HCC tissues in comparison with matched NC tissues (n = 8), but the expression of other transporters was unchanged. These data will be helpful in the future to predict transporter-mediated hepatocellular drug concentrations in patients with HCV-HCC.

Abstract
The breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) is a maternally-facing efflux transporter that regulates the placental disposition of chemicals. Transcription factors and gene variants are important regulatory factors that influence transporter expression. In this study, we sought to identify the genetic and transcriptional mechanisms underlying the interindividual expression of BCRP mRNA and protein across 137 term placentas from uncomplicated pregnancies. Placental expression of BCRP and regulatory transcription factor mRNAs was measured using multiplex-branched DNA analysis. BCRP expression and ABCG2 genotypes were determined using Western blot and Fluidigm Biomark genetic analysis, respectively. Placentas were obtained from a racially and ethnically diverse population, including Caucasian (33%), African American (14%), Asian (14%), Hispanic (15%), and mixed (16%) backgrounds, as well as unknown origins (7%). Between placentas, BCRP mRNA and protein varied up to 47-fold and 14-fold, respectively. In particular, BCRP mRNA correlated significantly with known transcription factor mRNAs, including nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and aryl hydrocarbon receptor. Somewhat surprisingly, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ABCG2 noncoding regions were not associated with variation in placental BCRP mRNA or protein. Instead, the coding region polymorphism (C421A/Q141K) corresponded with 40%-50% lower BCRP protein in 421C/A and 421A/A placentas compared with wild types (421C/C). Although BCRP protein and mRNA expression weakly correlated (r = 0.25, P = 0.040), this relationship was absent in individuals expressing the C421A variant allele. Study results contribute to our understanding of the interindividual regulation of BCRP expression in term placentas and may help to identify infants at risk for increased fetal exposure to chemicals due to low expression of this efflux protein.

Abstract
Protein quantification data on drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters (collectively referred as DMET proteins) in human tissues are useful in predicting interindividual variability in drug disposition. While targeted proteomics is an emerging technique for quantification of DMET proteins, the methodology involves significant technical challenges especially when multiple samples are analyzed in a single study over a long period of time. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly address the critical variables that could affect DMET protein quantification.

Abstract
With increasing knowledge on the role of hepatic transporters in drug disposition, numerous efforts have been described to quantify the expression of human hepatic transporters. However, reported quantitative proteomic approaches often require long analysis times. Additionally, greater assay sensitivity is still necessary for less abundant transporters or limited quantity of samples (e.g. hepatocytes and liver tissue). In the present study, an LC-MS/MS method for rapid and simultaneous quantification of 12 hepatic transporters (BCRP, BSEP, MATE1, MRP2, MRP3, MRP4, NTCP, OATP1B1, 1B3, 2B1, OCT1, and P-gp) was developed. Using a high LC flow rate (1.5mL/min) and fast LC gradient (4min total cycle time), the run time was markedly reduced to 4min, which was much shorter than most previously published assays. Chromatographic separation was achieved using ACE UltraCore SuperC18 50mm×2.1mm 5-μm HPLC column. In addition, greater analytical sensitivity was achieved with both high LC flow rate/fast LC gradient and post-column infusion of ethylene glycol. The on-column LLOQ for signature peptides in this method ranged from 0.194 to 0.846 femtomoles. The impact of five protein solubilizers, including extraction buffer II of ProteoExtract Native Membrane Protein Extraction Kit, 3% (w/v) sodium deoxycholate, 20% (v/v) Invitrosol, 0.2% (w/v) RapiGest SF, and 10% (w/v) formamide on total membrane protein extraction and trypsin digestion was investigated. Sodium deoxycholate was chosen because of good total membrane protein extraction and trypsin digestion efficiency, as well as no significant MS interference. Good precision (within 15% coefficient of variation) and accuracy (within ±15% bias), and inter-day trypsin digestion efficiency (within 28% coefficient of variation) was observed for quality controls. This method can quantify human hepatic transporter expression in a high-throughput manner and due to the increased sensitivity can be used to investigate the down-regulation of hepatic transporter protein (e.g., different ethnic groups and liver disease patients).

Abstract
As a result of the association of a common polymorphism (rs2231142, Q141K) in the ATP-binding cassette G2 (ABCG2) transporter with serum urate concentration in a genome-wide association study, it was revealed that ABCG2 is an important uric acid transporter. This review discusses the relevance of ABCG2 polymorphisms in gout, possible etiological mechanisms, and treatment approaches. The 141K ABCG2 urate-increasing variant causes instability in the nucleotide-binding domain, leading to decreased surface expression and function. Trafficking of the protein to the cell membrane is altered, and instead, there is an increased ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of the variant protein as well as sequestration into aggresomes. In humans, this leads to decreased uric acid excretion through both the kidney and the gut with the potential for a subsequent compensatory increase in renal urinary excretion. Not only does the 141K polymorphism in ABCG2 lead to hyperuricemia through renal overload and renal underexcretion, but emerging evidence indicates that it also increases the risk of acute gout in the presence of hyperuricemia, early onset of gout, tophi formation, and a poor response to allopurinol. In addition, there is some evidence that ABCG2 dysfunction may promote renal dysfunction in chronic kidney disease patients, increase systemic inflammatory responses, and decrease cellular autophagic responses to stress. These results suggest multiple benefits in restoring ABCG2 function. It has been shown that decreased ABCG2 141K surface expression and function can be restored with colchicine and other small molecule correctors. However, caution should be exercised in any application of these approaches given the role of surface ABCG2 in drug resistance.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to create an open access repository of validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) methods for quantifying 284 important proteins associated with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Various in silico and experimental approaches were used to select surrogate peptides and optimize instrument parameters for LC‐MS/MS quantification of the selected proteins. The final methods were uploaded to an online public database (QPrOmics; www.qpromics.uw.edu/qpromics/assay/), which provides essential information for facile method development in triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS) instruments. To validate the utility of the methods, the differential tissue expression of 107 key ADME proteins was characterized in the tryptic digests of the pooled subcellular fractions of human liver, kidneys, intestines, and lungs. These methods and the data are critical for development of physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to predict xenobiotic disposition.

Abstract
PURPOSE OCT1/3 (Organic Cation Transporter-1 and -3; SLC22A1/3) are transmembrane proteins localized at the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes. They mediate the uptake of cationic endogenous compounds and/or xenobiotics. The present study was set up to verify whether the previously observed variability in OCT activity in hepatocytes may be explained by inter-individual differences in OCT1/3 mRNA levels or OCT1 genotype. METHODS Twenty-seven batches of cryopreserved human hepatocytes (male and female, age 24-88 y) were characterized for OCT activity, normalized OCT1/3 mRNA expression, and OCT1 genetic mutation. ASP+ (4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-N-methylpyridinium iodide) was used as probe substrate. RESULTS ASP+ uptake ranged between 75 ± 61 and 2531 ± 202 pmol/(min × million cells). The relative OCT1 and OCT3 mRNA expression ranged between 0.007-0.46 and 0.0002-0.005, respectively. The presence of one or two nonfunctional SLC22A1 alleles was observed in 13 batches and these exhibited significant (p = 0.04) association with OCT1 and OCT3 mRNA expression. However, direct association between genotype and OCT activity could not be established. CONCLUSION mRNA levels and genotype of OCT only partially explain inter-individual variability in OCT-mediated transport. Our findings illustrate the necessity of in vitro transporter activity profiling for better understanding of inter-individual drug disposition behavior.

Abstract
Membrane transporters play an essential role in the transport of endogenous and exogenous compounds, and consequently they mediate the uptake, distribution, and excretion of many drugs. The clinical relevance of transporters in drug disposition and their effect in adults have been shown in drug–drug interaction and pharmacogenomic studies. Little is known, however, about the ontogeny of human membrane transporters and their roles in pediatric pharmacotherapy. As they are involved in the transport of endogenous substrates, growth and development may be important determinants of their expression and activity. This review presents an overview of our current knowledge on human membrane transporters in pediatric drug disposition and effect. Existing pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic data on membrane substrate drugs frequently used in children are presented and related, where possible, to existing ex vivo data, providing a basis for developmental patterns for individual human membrane transporters. As data for individual transporters are currently still scarce, there is a striking information gap regarding the role of human membrane transporters in drug therapy in children.

Abstract
Precision medicine approach has a potential to ensure optimum efficacy and safety of drugs at individual patient level. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) models could play a significant role in precision medicine by predicting interindividual variability in drug disposition and response. In order to develop robust PBPK/PD models, it is imperative that the critical physiological parameters affecting drug disposition and response and their variability are precisely characterized. Currently used PBPK/PD modeling software, for example, Simcyp and Gastroplus, encompass information such as organ volumes, blood flows to organs, body fat composition, glomerular filtration rate, etc. However, the information on the interindividual variability of the majority of the proteins associated with PK and PD, for example, drug metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and receptors, are not fully incorporated into these PBPK modeling platforms. Such information is significant because the population factors such as age, genotype, disease, and gender can affect abundance or activity of these proteins. To fill this critical knowledge gap, mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics has emerged as an important technique to characterize interindividual variability in the protein abundance of drug metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and receptors. Integration of these quantitative proteomics data into in silico PBPK/PD modeling tools will be crucial toward precision medicine.

Abstract
ABCG2 encodes the mitoxantrone resistance protein (MXR; breast cancer resistance protein), an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) efflux membrane transporter. Computational analysis of the ∼300 kb region of DNA surrounding ABCG2 (chr4:88911376-89220011, hg19) identified 30 regions with potential cis-regulatory capabilities. These putative regulatory regions were tested for their enhancer and suppressor activity in a human liver cell line using luciferase reporter assays. The in vitro enhancer and suppressor assays identified four regions that decreased gene expression and five regions that increased expression >1.6-fold. Four of five human hepatic in vitro enhancers were confirmed as in vivo liver enhancers using the mouse hydrodynamic tail vein injection assay. Two of the in vivo liver enhancers (ABCG2RE1 and ABCG2RE9) responded to 17β-estradiol or rifampin in human cell lines, and ABCG2RE9 had ChIP-seq evidence to support the binding of several transcription factors and the transcriptional coactivator p300 in human hepatocytes. This study identified genomic regions surrounding human ABCG2 that can function as regulatory elements, some with the capacity to alter gene expression upon environmental stimulus. The results from this research will drive future investigations of interindividual variation in ABCG2 expression and function that contribute to differences in drug response.

Abstract
Leflunomide's active metabolite teriflunomide inhibits dihydro-oroate dehydrogenase, an enzyme essential to proliferation of T lymphocytes. As teriflunomide must reach the target site to have this effect, this study assessed the distribution of teriflunomide into T lymphocytes, as intracellular concentrations may be a superior response biomarker to plasma concentrations. CD3 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) were used to extract CD3+ T cells from the peripheral blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were taking a stable dose of leflunomide. Unbound plasma and intra-CD3+ T cell teriflunomide concentrations were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Concentration (log transformed) and partition differences were assessed through paired Student t tests. Sixteen patients provided plasma steady-state teriflunomide samples, and eight provided a sample 6-12 weeks later. At time-point one, the geometric mean teriflunomide concentration (range) in CD3+ T cells was 18.12 μg/L (6.15-42.26 μg/L) compared with 69.75 μg/L (32.89-263.1 μg/L) unbound in plasma (P < 0.001). The mean partition coefficient (range) for unbound plasma teriflunomide into CD3+ T cells was 0.295 (0.092-0.632), which was significantly different from unity (P < 0.001). The median (range) change in teriflunomide concentration between the two time points was 14% (-10% to 40%) in unbound plasma and -29% (-69 to 138%) for CD3+ T cells. Because teriflunomide concentrations in CD3+ T cells were lower and displayed a higher intraindividual variability than the unbound plasma concentrations, its applicability as a therapeutic drug-monitoring marker may be limited.

Abstract
Protein expression of major hepatic uptake and efflux drug transporters in human pediatric (n = 69) and adult (n = 41) livers was quantified by liquid chromatography / tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS). Transporter protein expression of OCT1, OATP1B3, P-gp, and MRP3 was age-dependent. Particularly, significant differences were observed in transporter expression (P < 0.05) between the following age groups: neonates vs. adults (OCT1, OATP1B3, P-gp), neonates or infants vs. adolescents and/or adults (OCT1, OATP1B3, and P-gp), infants vs. children (OATP1B3 and P-gp), and adolescents vs. adults (MRP3). OCT1 showed the largest increase, of almost 5-fold, in protein expression with age. Ontogenic expression of OATP1B1 was confounded by genotype and was revealed only in livers harboring SLCO1B1*1A/*1A. In livers >1 year, tissues harboring SLCO1B1*14/*1A showed 2.5-fold higher (P < 0.05) protein expression than SLCO1B1*15/*1A. Integration of these ontogeny data in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models will be a crucial step in predicting hepatic drug disposition in children.

Abundance of Drug Transporters in the Human Kidney Cortex as Quantified by Quantitative Targeted Proteomics. Drug Metab Dispos 2016; 44:1920-1924. [PMID: 27621205 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.116.072066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 99] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2016] [Accepted: 09/09/2016] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Protein expression of renal uptake and efflux transporters was quantified by quantitative targeted proteomics using the surrogate peptide approach. Renal uptake transporters assessed in this study included organic anion transporters (OAT1-OAT4), organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), organic/carnitine cation transporters (OCTN1 and OCTN2), and sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2); efflux transporters included P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein, multidrug resistance proteins (MRP2 and MRP4), and multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (MATE1 and MATE2-K). Total membrane was isolated from the cortex of human kidneys (N = 41). The isolated membranes were digested by trypsin and the digest was subjected to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The mean expression of surrogate peptides was as follows (given with the standard deviation, in picomoles per milligram of total membrane protein): OAT1 (5.3 ± 1.9), OAT2 (0.9 ± 0.3), OAT3 (3.5 ± 1.6), OAT4 (0.5 ± 0.2), OCT2 (7.4 ± 2.8), OCTN1 (1.3 ± 0.6), OCTN2 (0.6 ± 0.2), P-glycoprotein (2.1 ± 0.8), MRP2 (1.4 ± 0.6), MRP4 (0.9 ± 0.6), MATE1 (5.1 ± 2.3), and SGLT2 (3.7 ± 1.8). Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and MATE2-K proteins were detectable but were below the lower limit of quantification. Interestingly, the protein expression of OAT1 and OAT3 was significantly correlated (r > 0.8). A significant correlation was also observed between expression of multiple other drug transporters, such as OATs/OCT2 or OCTN1/OCTN2, and SGLT2/OCTNs, OCT, OATs, and MRP2. These renal transporter data should be useful in deriving in vitro to in vivo scaling factors to accurately predict renal clearance and kidney epithelial cell exposure to drugs or their metabolites.
