Mukai H, Takanashi M, Ogawara KI, Maruyama M, Higaki K. Possible Regulation of P-Glycoprotein Function by Adrenergic Agonists II: Study with Isolated Rat Jejunal Sheets and Caco-2 Cell monolayers. J Pharm Sci 2024; 113:1209-1219. [PMID: 37984697 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2023.11.010] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
To clarify the regulation of drug absorption by the enteric nervous system, we investigated how adrenergic agonists (adrenaline (ADR), clonidine (CLO), dobutamine (DOB)) and dibutyryl cAMP (DBcAMP) affected P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function by utilizing isolated rat jejunal sheets and Caco-2 cell monolayers. ADR and CLO significantly decreased the secretory transport (Papptotal) of rhodamine-123 and tended to decrease the transport via P-gp (PappP-gp) and passive transport (Papppassive). In contrast, DBcAMP significantly increased and DOB tended to increase Papptotal and both tended to increase PappP-gpand Papppassive. Changes in P-gp expression on brush border membrane by adrenergic agonists and DBcAMP were significantly correlated with PappP-gp, while P-gp expression was not changed in whole cell homogenates, suggesting that the trafficking of P-gp would be responsible for its functional changes. Papppassive was inversely correlated with transmucosal or transepithelial electrical resistance, indicating that adrenergic agonists affected the paracellular permeability. Adrenergic agonists also changed cAMP levels, which were significantly correlated with PappP-gp. Furthermore, protein kinase A (PKA) or PKC inhibitor significantly decreased PappP-gp in Caco-2 cell monolayers, suggesting that they would partly contribute to the changes in P-gp activity. In conclusion, adrenergic agonists regulated P-gp function and paracellular permeability, which would be caused via adrenoceptor stimulation.

Dhakne P, Pillai M, Mishra S, Chatterjee B, Tekade RK, Sengupta P. Refinement of safety and efficacy of anti-cancer chemotherapeutics by tailoring their site-specific intracellular bioavailability through transporter modulation. Biochim Biophys Acta Rev Cancer 2023; 1878:188906. [PMID: 37172652 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbcan.2023.188906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Low intracellular bioavailability, off-site toxicities, and multi drug resistance (MDR) are the major constraints involved in cancer chemotherapy. Many anticancer molecules fail to become a good lead in drug discovery because of their poor site-specific bioavailability. Concentration of a molecule at target sites is largely varied because of the wavering expression of transporters. Recent anticancer drug discovery strategies are paying high attention to enhance target site bioavailability by modulating drug transporters. The level of genetic expression of transporters is an important determinant to understand their ability to facilitate drug transport across the cellular membrane. Solid carrier (SLC) transporters are the major influx transporters involved in the transportation of most anti-cancer drugs. In contrast, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily is the most studied class of efflux transporters concerning cancer and is significantly involved in efflux of chemotherapeutics resulting in MDR. Balancing SLC and ABC transporters is essential to avoid therapeutic failure and minimize MDR in chemotherapy. Unfortunately, comprehensive literature on the possible approaches of tailoring site-specific bioavailability of anticancer drugs through transporter modulation is not available till date. This review critically discussed the role of different specific transporter proteins in deciding the intracellular bioavailability of anticancer molecules. Different strategies for reversal of MDR in chemotherapy by incorporation of chemosensitizers have been proposed in this review. Targeted strategies for administration of the chemotherapeutics to the intracellular site of action through clinically relevant transporters employing newer nanotechnology-based formulation platforms have been explained. The discussion embedded in this review is timely considering the current need of addressing the ambiguity observed in pharmacokinetic and clinical outcomes of the chemotherapeutics in anti-cancer treatment regimens.

Front Chem 2022; 10:981173. [PMID: 36238092 PMCID: PMC9552072 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2022.981173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 07/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Mulberroside A is a polyhydroxylated stilbene active component of Morus alba L. Studies have shown that it has antitussive, antiasthmatic, tyrosinase and antioxidation activities. However, little is known about the metabolism of it in vitro and in vivo. In our study, an integrated strategy on the basis of UHPLC-Q-Exactive Plus Orbitrap MS and network pharmacology was established to comprehensively research the metabolic characteristic of mulberroside A for the first time. Plasma, urine, feces and liver tissues of rats in the blank group and drug group were collected after intragastric administration of mulberroside A at a dose of 150 mg/kg, and rat liver microsomes were cultured for in vitro metabolism experiment. The biological samples were processed by different methods and analyzed in positive and negative ion modes using UHPLC-Q-Exactive Plus Orbitrap MS. A total of 72 metabolites were finally identified based on the accurate molecular mass, retention time, MS/MS spectra and related literatures combined with the Compound Discoverer 3.1. The metabolic pathways were mainly hydrolysis, glucuronidation, hydrogenation, sulfation, hydroxylation, methylation and their composite reactions. In addition, a network pharmacology method was used to predict the mechanism of action of mulberroside A and its metabolites. In the end, 7 metabolites with high gastrointestinal absorption and drug-likeness and 167 targets were screened by Swiss ADME and Swiss Target Prediction. 1702 items of GO analysis and 158 related signaling pathways of KEGG were enriched using Metascape. This study established a novel integrated strategy based on UHPLC-Q-Exactive Plus Orbitrap MS and network pharmacology, which could systematically analyze the metabolism behavior of mulberroside A in vivo and in vitro of rats and provide basis for the further research of mulberroside A.

Abstract
Oleum Cinnamomi is a traditional medicine used by the Hmong, the essential oil obtained from Fructus Cinnamomi, for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Information regarding the efficient quality control markers of it is lacking, which has become a bottleneck restricting its development and utilization. Here, an integrated qualitative analysis approach based on a GC-MS and network pharmacology strategy was applied to explore quality control markers for the assessment of Oleum Cinnamomi. Firstly, the compounds of Oleum Cinnamomi were detected by GC-MS. In total, 57 chemical components were identified, mainly monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, accounting for 83.05% of total essential oil components. Secondly, network pharmacology was adopted to explore the compounds linked to target genes of coronary heart disease. Fifty-two compounds were found, indicating the effectiveness of Oleum Cinnamomi in the treatment of coronary heart disease. Among them, 10 compounds, including eucalyptol, were chosen as potential effective compounds in Oleum Cinnamomi. Thirdly, an established GC-MS SIM method was validated and applied for the simultaneous determination of the contents of these 10 compounds using 20 sample batches of Oleum Cinnamomi. It was preliminarily found that the contents of these 10 compounds differed in Oleum Cinnamomi from different origins. Finally, quantitative analyte data were analyzed using multivariate statistical analysis to determine Oleum Cinnamomi quality. Four compounds (eucalyptol, p-cymene, sabinene, β-pinene) were identified as chemical markers for quality control. Accordingly, this study provides new strategies to explore the quality control markers and develops a novel method for the quality assessment of Oleum Cinnamomi.

Abstract
1. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a critical issue during chemotherapy of cancers. Epifriedelanol (Epi) is the effective compounds from the Root Bark of Ulmus davidiana. This study aims to investigate the effect of Epi on MDR and its potential mechanism in the adriamycin (Adr)-resistant K562/ADM cells.2. The effect of Epi on MDR, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) were investigated in the adriamycin (Adr)-resistant K562/ADM cells. In addition, the alterations of nuclear receptor pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) mRNA expression levels in K562/ADM cells after Epi treatment were also examined.3. Epi significantly enhanced Adr-induced cytotoxicity towards K562/ADM cells. Combination of Epi and Adr can significantly reduce the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of K562/ADM cells to Adr. The reversal fold was 1.83 and 3.64 after treated with Epi at 10 and 20 μM, respectively. The intracellular accumulation of Adr was significant increased after exposure to Epi at 5-20 μM compared with the control group. Furthermore, Epi treatment significantly decreased the mRNA and protein expression of P-gp and MRP2 in K562/ADM cells.4. The present study demonstrated that Epi could enhance Adr-induced cytotoxicity towards K562/ADM cells accompanied by the down-regulation of P-gp and MRP2.

Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) and other worldwide health agencies have recently taken initiatives to encourage the use of traditional medicine and/or complementary/alternative medicine in order to promote well-being and public health. In this way, one of the WHO's concerns is the safe use of these therapies. Phytotherapy is a strategy consisting of the use of medicinal plants (MP) and/or herbal medicinal products (HMP) for medicinal purposes. The use of phytotherapy concomitantly with drugs may cause interactions compromising the expected pharmacological action or generating toxic effects. These interactions are complex processes that may occur with multiple medications targeting different metabolic pathways, and involving different compounds present in MP and HMP. Thus, the aim of this review was to summarize the main MP- and HMP-drug interactions that involve specific transporters (P-glycoprotein and BCRP) and CYP450 enzymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6), which play relevant roles in the mechanisms of interactions. Firstly, multiple databases were used to search studies describing in vitro or in vivo MP and HMP-drug interactions and, after that, a systematic note-taking and appraisal of the literature was conducted. It was observed that several MP and HMP, metabolic pathways and transcription factors are involved in the transporters and enzymes expression or in the modulation of their activity having the potential to provide such interactions. Thus, the knowledge of MP- and HMP-drug interaction mechanisms could contribute to prevent harmful interactions and can ensure the safe use of these products to help the establishment of the therapeutic planning in order to certify the best treatment strategy to be used.

Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate whether ibuprofen could alter the P-glycoprotein expression and function under Alzheimer's Disease condition and whether this alteration was induced by the inhibition of inflammatory reaction. APP/PS1 mice were used as AD model mice and ibuprofen-treated AD mice were given ibuprofen for 5 months. Then, Abcb1a/1b mRNA levels and P-gp expression were evaluated by qRT-PCR and western blot. Abcb1 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in AD mice compared to control mice, and it could be restored by ibuprofen treatment. Meanwhile, P-gp expression result showed a similar trend. Aβ plaques in cerebral cortices and hippocampus were investigated via immunohistochemical, and the results revealed that Aβ plaques were reduced in ibuprofen-treated AD mice compared with the AD mice, indicated that P-gp function may be recovered by ibuprofen treatment. qRT-PCR and ELISA were used to determined TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and NF-κB levels. The results demonstrated that TNF-α, IL-1β mRNA levels and NF-κB expression were all significantly upregulated in AD mice in comparison with the control mice, and ibuprofen treatment could suppress the increase of inflammatory factors. In conclusion, the P-gp expression and function were suppressed in AD condition by activating inflammatory reaction, and then causing the Aβ efflux decreased. However, upregulating P-gp could increase the Aβ efflux in further to treat AD via inhibiting the inflammatory factors expression.

Abstract
Aims: In clinical practice, herbal medicines have played an important role in the modulation of drug transporters through the combination of conventional prescription drugs, which necessitates the elucidation of herb-drug interactions. The present study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of benzaldehyde, vanillin, muscone, and borneol on P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Methods: The effects of the 4 compounds on the intracellular accumulation of rhodamine-123 (Rho-123) in vinblastine-treated Caco-2 (VB-Caco-2) cells were studied by monitoring fluorescence intensity through a flow cytometry assay, and the effects of these compounds on Rho-123 transport through VB-Caco-2 monolayers and Rho-123 intestinal absorption in the rat everted gut sac were investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Moreover, P-gp expression in VB-Caco-2 cells was assessed using flow cytometry and Western blot analysis, and the relative ABCB1 mRNA level was determined by Real-time RT-PCR. Key Findings: The results showed that benzaldehyde, vanillin, muscone, and borneol significantly increased Rho-123 uptake in VB-Caco-2 cells, increased the absorption rate and apparent permeability coefficient of Rho-123 in rat jejunum and ileum, and decreased the efflux ratio of Rho-123 from 6.52 to less than 2 during transport across VB-Caco-2 cell monolayers. In addition, these compounds reduced the protein and ABCB1 mRNA levels of P-gp in VB-Caco-2 cells. Conclusions: These data indicate that benzaldehyde, vanillin, muscone and borneol could effectively reverse multidrug resistance via inhibiting the P-gp function and expression pathway. The data provide fodder for further investigation into the interaction between the 4 compounds and other drugs transported by P-gp.

Abstract
PURPOSE P-glycoprotein (P-gp) plays a major role in oral absorption of drugs. Induction or inhibition of P-gp by drugs contributes to variability of its transport activity and often results in clinically relevant drug-drug interactions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cetirizine, a second generation H1 antihistamine, on P-gp function and expression in vitro and in situ. METHODS The in-vitro rhodamin-123 (Rho123) efflux assay in Caco-2 cells was used to study the effect of cetirizine on P-gp function. Western blot analysis was used for surveying the effect of cetirizine on expression of P-gp in Caco-2 cells. Rat in situ single-pass intestinal permeability technique was used to calculate the intestinal permeability of a known P-gp substrate (digoxin) in the presence of cetirizine. The amounts of digoxin and cetirizine in intestinal perfusion samples were analyzed using a HPLC method. RESULTS The results showed significant increase in Rho123 uptake (P < 0.05) and also P-gp band intensity decrease in cetirizine-treated cells in vitro. Furthermore the intestinal permeability of digoxin was also increased significantly in the presence of cetirizine (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Therefore it is concluded that cetirizine is a P-gp inhibitor and this should be considered in co administration of cetrizine with other P-gp substrate drugs. Further investigations are required to confirm our results and to determine the mechanism underlying P-gp inhibition by cetirizine.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious phenomenon employed by cancer cells which hampers the success of cancer pharmacotherapy. One of the common mechanisms of MDR is the overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) efflux transporters in cancer cells such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1), multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) that limits the prolonged and effective use of chemotherapeutic drugs. Researchers have found that developing inhibitors of ABC efflux transporters as chemosensitizers could overcome MDR. But the clinical trials have shown that most of these chemosensitizers are merely toxic and only show limited or no benefits to cancer patients, thus new inhibitors are being explored. Recent findings also suggest that efflux pumps of the ABC transporter family are subject to epigenetic gene regulation. In this review, we summarize recent findings of the role of ABC efflux transporters in MDR.
