Yu Z, You G. Topotecan and Ginkgolic Acid Inhibit the Expression and Transport Activity of Human Organic Anion Transporter 3 by Suppressing SUMOylation of the Transporter. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:638. [PMID: 38794300 PMCID: PMC11124914 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16050638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3), expressed at the basolateral membrane of kidney proximal tubule cells, facilitates the elimination of numerous metabolites, environmental toxins, and clinically important drugs. An earlier investigation from our laboratory revealed that OAT3 expression and transport activity can be upregulated by SUMOylation, a post-translational modification that covalently conjugates SUMO molecules to substrate proteins. Topotecan is a semi-synthetic derivative of the herbal extract camptothecin, approved by the FDA to treat several types of cancer. Ginkgolic acid (GA) is one of the major components in the extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves that has long been used in food supplements for preventing dementia, high blood pressure, and supporting stroke recovery. Both topotecan and GA have been shown to affect protein SUMOylation. In the current study, we tested our hypothesis that topotecan and GA may regulate OAT3 SUMOylation, expression, and transport function. Our data show that the treatment of OAT3-expressing cells with topotecan or GA significantly decreases the SUMOylation of OAT3 by 50% and 75%, respectively. The same treatment also led to substantial reductions in OAT3 expression and the OAT3-mediated transport of estrone sulfate, a prototypical substrate. Such reductions in cell surface expression of OAT3 correlated well with an increased rate of OAT3 degradation. Mechanistically, we discovered that topotecan enhanced the association between OAT3 and the SUMO-specific protease SENP2, a deSUMOylation enzyme, which contributed to the significant decrease in OAT3 SUMOylation. In conclusion, this study unveiled a novel role of topotecan and GA in inhibiting OAT3 expression and transport activity and accelerating OAT3 degradation by suppressing OAT3 SUMOylation. During comorbidity therapies, the use of topotecan or Ginkgo biloba extract could potentially decrease the transport activity of OAT3 in the kidneys, which will in turn affect the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of many other drugs that are substrates for the transporter.

Abstract
Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) is an influx transporter protein of the SLC superfamily, expressed mainly in the liver and some tumor cells. The mechanisms of its regulation are being actively studied. In the present study, the effect of sex hormones (estradiol, progesterone and testosterone) on OATP1B1 expression in HepG2 cells was examined. The role of adopted orphan receptors, farnasoid X receptor (FXR), constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), pregnane X receptor (PXR) and liver X receptor subtype alpha (LXRa), was also evaluated. Hormones were used in concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 μM, with incubation for 24 h. The protein expression of OATP1B1, FXR, CAR, PXR and LXRa was analyzed by Western blot. It was shown that estradiol (10 and 100 μM) increased the expression of OATP1B1, acting through CAR. Testosterone (1, 10 and 100 μM) increased the expression of OATP1B1, acting through FXR, PXR and LXRa. Progesterone (10 and 100 μM) decreased the expression of OATP1B1 (10 and 100 μM) and adopted orphan receptors are not involved in this process. The obtained results have important practical significance and determine ways for targeted regulation of the transporter, in particular in cancer.

Abstract
Transporter-mediated clearance is determined by two factors, its single-molecule clearance, and expression level. However, no reliable method has been developed to evaluate them separately. This study aimed to develop a reliable method for evaluating the single-molecule activity of membrane transporters, such as organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 2B1. HEK293 cells that co-expressed large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel and OATP2B1 were established and used for the following experiments. i) BK channel-mediated whole-cell conductance was measured using patch-clamp technique and divided by its unitary conductance to estimate the number of channels on plasma membrane (QI). ii) Using plasma membrane fraction, quantitative targeted absolute proteomics determined the stoichiometric ratio (ρ) of OATP2B1 to BK channel. iii) The uptake of estrone 3-sulfate was evaluated to calculate the Michaelis constant and uptake clearance (CL) per cell. Single-molecule clearance (CLint) was calculated by dividing CL by QI·ρ. QI and ρ values were estimated to be 916 and 2.16, respectively, yielding CLint of 5.23 fL/min/molecule. We successfully developed a novel method to reliably measure the single-molecule activity of a transporter, which could be used to evaluate the influences of factors such as genetic variations and post-translational modifications on the intrinsic activity of transporters.

Abstract
Human organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1) is a membrane transporter widely expressed in organs crucial for drug absorption and disposition such as the intestine, liver, and kidney. Evidence indicates that OATP2B1 is a glycoprotein. However, the sites of glycosylation and their contribution to the function and expression of OATP2B1 are largely unknown. In this study, by site-directed mutagenesis, we determined that two of four potential N-glycosylation sites in OATP2B1, N176 and N538, are indeed glycosylated. Functional studies revealed that the transport activities of mutants N176Q and N538Q were greatly reduced as compared to that of wild-type OATP2B1. However, the reduced activity was not due to the impairment of transport function per se but due to the decreased surface expression as the Km and normalized Vmax values of N176Q and N538Q were comparable to those of OATP2B1. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed that N176Q and N538Q mutations did not affect the expression of OATP2B1 at a transcriptional level. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that deglycosylated OATP2B1 was largely retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, which may activate the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway, and the ubiquitin-proteasome system played a major role in the degradation of OATP2B1. Taken together, OATP2B1 is N-glycosylated, and N-glycosylation is essential for the surface expression of OATP2B1 but not critical for the transport function of OATP2B1 per se.

Abstract
Iron is essential to cells as a cofactor in enzymes of respiration and replication, however without correct storage, iron leads to the formation of dangerous oxygen radicals. In yeast and plants, iron is transported into a membrane-bound vacuole by the vacuolar iron transporter (VIT). This transporter is conserved in the apicomplexan family of obligate intracellular parasites, including in Toxoplasma gondii. Here, we assess the role of VIT and iron storage in T. gondii. By deleting VIT, we find a slight growth defect in vitro, and iron hypersensitivity, confirming its essential role in parasite iron detoxification, which can be rescued by scavenging of oxygen radicals. We show VIT expression is regulated by iron at transcript and protein levels, and by altering VIT localization. In the absence of VIT, T. gondii responds by altering expression of iron metabolism genes and by increasing antioxidant protein catalase activity. We also show that iron detoxification has an important role both in parasite survival within macrophages and in virulence in a mouse model. Together, by demonstrating a critical role for VIT during iron detoxification in T. gondii, we reveal the importance of iron storage in the parasite and provide the first insight into the machinery involved.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020497.

Abstract
We evaluated the whole-body distribution of orally-administered radioiodine-125 labeled acetaminophen (125I-AP) to estimate gastrointestinal absorption of anionic drugs. 125I-AP was added to human embryonic kidney (HEK)293 and Flp293 cells expressing human organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1/3, OATP2B1, organic anion transporter (OAT)1/2/3, or carnitine/organic cation transporter (OCTN)2, with and without bromosulfalein (OATP and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) inhibitor) and probenecid (OAT and MRP inhibitor). The biological distribution in mice was determined by oral administration of 125I-AP with and without bromosulfalein and by intravenous administration of 125I-AP. The uptake of 125I-AP was significantly higher in HEK293/OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, OAT1, and OAT2 cells than that in mock cells. Bromosulfalein and probenecid inhibited OATP- and OAT-mediated uptake, respectively. Moreover, 125I-AP was easily excreted in the urine when administered intravenously. The accumulation of 125I-AP was significantly lower in the blood and urinary bladder of mice receiving oral administration of both 125I-AP and bromosulfalein than those receiving only 125I-AP, but significantly higher in the small intestine due to inhibition of OATPs and/or MRPs. This study indicates that whole-body distribution after oral 125I-AP administration can be used to estimate gastrointestinal absorption in the small intestine via OATPs, OATs, and/or MRPs by measuring radioactivity in the urinary bladder.

Abstract
The increasing use of natural products in clinical practice has raised great concerns about the potential natural product-drug interactions (NDIs). Drug transporters mediate the transmembrane passage of a broad range of drugs, and thus are important determinants for drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Generally, transporters can be divided into ATP binding cassette (ABC) family and solute carrier (SLC) family. Numerous natural products have been identified as inhibitors, substrates, inducers, and/or activators of drug transporters. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the recent progress on the research of NDIs, focusing on the main drug transporters, such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), organic anion transporter 1 and 3 (OAT1/OAT3), organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 and 1B3 (OATP1B1/OATP1B3), organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 and 2-K (MATE1/MATE2-K). Additionally, the challenges and strategies of studying NDIs are also discussed.

Abstract
Transporter-mediated drug resistance is a major obstacle in anticancer drug delivery and a key reason for cancer drug therapy failure. Membrane solute carrier (SLC) transporters play a crucial role in the cellular uptake of drugs. The expression and function of the SLC transporters can be down-regulated in cancer cells, which limits the uptake of drugs into the tumor cells, resulting in the inefficiency of the drug therapy. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of low-SLC-transporter-expression-mediated drug resistance in different types of cancers. Recent advances in SLC-transporter-targeting strategies include the development of transporter-utilizing prodrugs and nanocarriers and the modulation of SLC transporter expression in cancer cells. These strategies will play an important role in the future development of anticancer drug therapies by enabling the efficient delivery of drugs into cancer cells.

Abstract
The coordinated movement of organic anions (e.g., drugs, metabolites, signaling molecules, nutrients, antioxidants, gut microbiome products) between tissues and body fluids depends, in large part, on organic anion transporters (OATs) [solute carrier 22 (SLC22)], organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) [solute carrier organic (SLCO)], and multidrug resistance proteins (MRPs) [ATP-binding cassette, subfamily C (ABCC)]. Depending on the range of substrates, transporters in these families can be considered multispecific, oligospecific, or (relatively) monospecific. Systems biology analyses of these transporters in the context of expression patterns reveal they are hubs in networks involved in interorgan and interorganismal communication. The remote sensing and signaling theory explains how the coordinated functions of drug transporters, drug-metabolizing enzymes, and regulatory proteins play a role in optimizing systemic and local levels of important endogenous small molecules. We focus on the role of OATs, OATPs, and MRPs in endogenous metabolism and how their substrates (e.g., bile acids, short chain fatty acids, urate, uremic toxins) mediate interorgan and interorganismal communication and help maintain and restore homeostasis in healthy and disease states.

Abstract
To better understand the functionality of organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) and to design new ligands, reliable structural data of each OATP is needed. In this work, we used a combination of homology model with molecular dynamics simulations to generate a comprehensive structural dataset, that encompasses a diverse set of OATPs but also their relevant conformations. Our OATP models share a conserved transmembrane helix folding harbouring a druggable binding pocket in the shape of an inner pore. Our simulations suggest that the conserved salt bridges at the extracellular region between residues on TM1 and TM7 might influence the entrance of substrates. Interactions between residues on TM1 and TM4 within OATP1 family shown their importance in transport of substrates. Additionally, in transmembrane (TM) 1/2, a known conserved element, interact with two identified motifs in the TM7 and TM11. Our simulations suggest that TM1/2-TM7 interaction influence the inner pocket accessibility, while TM1/2-TM11 salt bridges control the substrate binding stability.

Abstract
Organic anion transporting polypeptide 3A1 (OATP3A1, encoded by the SLCO3A1 gene) is a prostaglandin, oligopeptide, and steroid/thyroid hormone transporter with wide tissue distribution, expressed, e.g., in the human brain and testis. Although the physiological importance of OATP3A1 has not yet been clarified, based on its expression pattern, substrate recognition, and evolutionary conservation, OATP3A1 is a potential pharmacological target. Previously, two isoforms of OATP3A1, termed as V1 and V2, have been characterized. Here, we describe the cloning and functional characterization of a third isoform, OATP3A1_V3. The mRNA of isoform V3 is formed by alternative splicing and results in an OATP3A1 protein with an altered C-terminus compared to isoforms V1 and V2. Based on quantitative PCR, we demonstrate the widespread expression of SLCO3A1_V3 mRNA in human organs, with the highest expression in the brain and testis. By generation of an isoform V3-specific antibody and immunostaining, we show that the encoded protein is expressed in the human choroid plexus, neurons, and both germ and Sertoli cells of the testis. Moreover, we demonstrate that in contrast to isoform V1, OATP3A1_V3 localizes to the apical membrane of polarized MDCKII cells. Using HEK-293 cells engineered to overexpress OATP3A1_V3, we verify the protein’s functionality and identify dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate as a novel OATP3A1 substrate. Based on their distinct expression patterns but overlapping functions, OATP3A1 isoforms may contribute to transcellular (neuro)steroid transport in the central nervous system.

Antioxidant and Neuroprotective Effects of Paeonol against Oxidative Stress and Altered Carrier-Mediated Transport System on NSC-34 Cell Lines. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11071392. [PMID: 35883881 PMCID: PMC9311606 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11071392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Paeonol is a naturally occurring phenolic agent that attenuates neurotoxicity in neurodegenerative diseases. We aimed to investigate the antioxidant and protective effects of paeonol and determine its transport mechanism in wild-type (WT; NSC-34/hSOD1WT) and mutant-type (MT; NSC-34/hSOD1G93A) motor neuron-like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cell lines. Cytotoxicity induced by glutamate, lipopolysaccharides, and H2O2 reduced viability of cell; however, the addition of paeonol improved cell viability against neurotoxicity. The [3H]paeonol uptake was increased in the presence of H2O2 in both cell lines. Paeonol recovered ALS model cell lines by reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress induced by glutamate. The transport of paeonol was time-, concentration-, and pH-dependent in both NSC-34 cell lines. Kinetic parameters showed two transport sites with altered affinity and capacity in the MT cell line compared to the WT cell line. [3H]Paeonol uptake increased in the MT cell line transfected with organic anion transporter1 (Oat1)/Slc22a6 small interfering RNA compared to that in the control. Plasma membrane monoamine transporter (Pmat) was also involved in the uptake of paeonol by ALS model cell lines. Overall, paeonol exhibits neuroprotective activity via a carrier-mediated transport system and may be a beneficial therapy for preventing motor neuronal damage under ALS-like conditions.

Abstract
On behalf of the team I am pleased to present the second annual 'novel insights into drug transporter sciences review' focused on peer-reviewed articles that were published in the year 2021. In compiling the articles for inclusion, preprints available in 2021 but officially published in 2022 were considered to be in scope. To support this review the contributing authors independently selected one or two articles that were thought to be impactful and of interest to the broader research community. A similar approach as published last year was adopted whereby key observations, methods and analysis of each paper is concisely summarized in the synopsis followed by a commentary highlighting the impact of the paper in understanding of drug transporters' role in drug disposition.As the goal of this review is not to provide a comprehensive overview of each paper but rather highlight important findings that are well supported by the data, the reader is encouraged to consult the original articles for additional information. Further, and keeping in line with the goals of this review, it should be noted that all authors actively contributed by writing synopsis and commentary for individual papers and no attempt was made to standardize language or writing styles. In this way, the review article is reflective of not only the diversity of the articles but also that of the contributors. I extend my thanks to the authors for their continued support and also welcome Diane Ramsden and Pallabi Mitra as contributing authors for this issue.

Functional in vitro characterization of SLCO1B1 variants and simulation of the clinical pharmacokinetic impact of impaired OATP1B1 function. Eur J Pharm Sci 2022; 176:106246. [PMID: 35752377 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2022.106246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B1 is important to the hepatic elimination and distribution of many drugs. If OATP1B1 function is decreased, it can increase plasma exposure of e.g. several statins leading to increased risk of muscle toxicity. First, we examined the impact of three naturally occurring rare variants and the frequent SLCO1B1 c.388A>G variant on in vitro transport activity with cellular uptake assay using two substrates: 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) and rosuvastatin. Secondly, LC-MS/MS based quantitative targeted absolute proteomics measured the OATP1B1 protein abundance in crude membrane fractions of HEK293 cells over-expressing these SNVs. Additionally, we simulated the effect of impaired OATP1B1 function on rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics to estimate the need for genotype-guided dosing. R57Q impaired DCF and rosuvastatin transport significantly yet did not change protein expression considerably, while N130D and N151S did not alter activity but increased protein expression. R253Q did not change protein expression but reduced DCF uptake and increased rosuvastatin Km. Based on pharmacokinetics simulations, doses of 30 mg (with 50% OATP1B1 function) and 20 mg (with 0% OATP1B1 function) result in plasma exposure similar to 40 mg dose (with 100% OATP1B1 function). Therefore dose reductions might be considered to avoid increased plasma exposure caused by function-impairing OATP1B1 genetic variants, such as R57Q.

Abstract
Facilitated transport is necessitated for large size, charged, and/or hydrophilic drugs to move across the membrane. The drug transporters in the solute carrier (SLC) superfamily, mainly including organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs), organic anion transporters (OATs), organic cation transporters (OCTs), organic cation/carnitine transporters (OCTNs), peptide transporters (PEPTs), and multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins (MATEs), are critical facilitators of drug transport and distribution in human body. The expression of these SLC drug transporters is found in tissues throughout the body, with high abundance in the epithelial cells of major organs for drug disposition, such as intestine, liver, and kidney. These SLC drug transporters are clinically important in drug absorption, metabolism, distribution, and excretion. The mechanisms underlying their regulation have been revealing in recent years. Epigenetic and nuclear receptor-mediated transcriptional regulation of SLC drug transporters have particularly attracted much attention. This review focuses on the transcriptional regulation of major SLC drug transporter genes. Revealing the mechanisms underlying the transcription of those critical drug transporters will help us understand pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, ultimately improving drug therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing drug toxicity. Significance Statement It has become increasingly recognized that solute carrier (SLC) drug transporters play a crucial, and sometimes determinative, role in drug disposition and response, which is reflected in decision-making during not only clinical drug therapy but also drug development. Understanding the mechanisms accounting for the transcription of these transporters is critical to interpret their abundance in various tissues under different conditions, which is necessary to clarify the pharmacological response, adverse effects, and drug-drug interactions for clinically used drugs.

Radice C, Korzekwa K, Nagar S. Predicting impact of food and feeding time on oral absorption of drugs with a novel rat continuous intestinal absorption model. Drug Metab Dispos 2022; 50:750-761.

Abstract
Intricacies in intestinal physiology, drug properties, and food effects should be incorporated into models to predict complex oral drug absorption. A previously published human continuous intestinal absorption model based on the convection-diffusion equation was modified specifically for the male Sprague-Dawley rat in this report. Species-specific physiological conditions along intestinal length 'x' - experimental velocity and pH under fasted and fed conditions, were measured and incorporated into the intestinal absorption model. Concentration- time (C-t) profiles were measured upon a single IV and PO dose for three drugs, amlodipine (AML), digoxin (DIG), and glyburide (GLY). Absorption profiles were predicted and compared with experimentally collected data under three feeding conditions: 12-hr fasted rats were provided food at two specific times after oral drug dose (1 hr and 2 hr for AML and GLY, 0.5 hr and 1 hr for DIG), or were provided food for the entire study. IV versus PO C-t profiles suggested absorption even at later times, and informed design of appropriate mathematical input functions based on experimental feeding times. With this model, AML, DIG and GLY oral C-t profiles for all feeding groups were generally well predicted, with exposure overlap coefficients (EOC) in the range of 0.80 - 0.97. Efflux transport for DIG and uptake and efflux transport for GLY were included, modeling uptake transporter inhibition in the presence of food. Results indicate that the continuous intestinal rat model incorporates complex physiological processes and feeding times relative to drug dose, into a simple framework to provide accurate prediction of oral absorption. Significance Statement A novel rat continuous intestinal model predicts drug absorption with respect to time and intestinal length. Feeding time relative to dose was modeled as a key effect. Experimental fasted/fed intestinal pH and velocity, efflux and uptake transporter expression along intestinal length, and uptake transporter inhibition in the presence of food, were modeled. The model uses the pharmacokinetic profiles of three model drugs and provides a novel framework to study food effects on absorption.

Kell DB. The Transporter-Mediated Cellular Uptake and Efflux of Pharmaceutical Drugs and Biotechnology Products: How and Why Phospholipid Bilayer Transport Is Negligible in Real Biomembranes. Molecules 2021; 26:5629.

Abstract
Over the years, my colleagues and I have come to realise that the likelihood of pharmaceutical drugs being able to diffuse through whatever unhindered phospholipid bilayer may exist in intact biological membranes in vivo is vanishingly low. This is because (i) most real biomembranes are mostly protein, not lipid, (ii) unlike purely lipid bilayers that can form transient aqueous channels, the high concentrations of proteins serve to stop such activity, (iii) natural evolution long ago selected against transport methods that just let any undesirable products enter a cell, (iv) transporters have now been identified for all kinds of molecules (even water) that were once thought not to require them, (v) many experiments show a massive variation in the uptake of drugs between different cells, tissues, and organisms, that cannot be explained if lipid bilayer transport is significant or if efflux were the only differentiator, and (vi) many experiments that manipulate the expression level of individual transporters as an independent variable demonstrate their role in drug and nutrient uptake (including in cytotoxicity or adverse drug reactions). This makes such transporters valuable both as a means of targeting drugs (not least anti-infectives) to selected cells or tissues and also as drug targets. The same considerations apply to the exploitation of substrate uptake and product efflux transporters in biotechnology. We are also beginning to recognise that transporters are more promiscuous, and antiporter activity is much more widespread, than had been realised, and that such processes are adaptive (i.e., were selected by natural evolution). The purpose of the present review is to summarise the above, and to rehearse and update readers on recent developments. These developments lead us to retain and indeed to strengthen our contention that for transmembrane pharmaceutical drug transport "phospholipid bilayer transport is negligible".

Downregulated expression of organic anion transporting polypeptide (Oatp) 2b1 in the small intestine of rats with acute kidney injury. Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2021; 40:100411.

Abstract
The expression of transporters on the apical and basal membranes of renal tubular cells is modulated under acute kidney injury (AKI). However, little is known about alterations in non-renal transporters in the tissues other than the kidney under AKI situation. This study aimed to assess the modulation of organic anion transporting polypeptide (Oatp) 1a2 and Oatp2b1 expression/function in the small intestine of rats with drug-induced AKI. AKI was induced by intraperitoneal administration of cisplatin at a dose of 5 mg/kg. On day 3 after cisplatin administration, morphological changes in the small intestine, Oatp1a2 and Oatp2b1 expression, and absorption of pravastatin and theophylline were evaluated. Non-negligible atrophy was observed in the jejunum and ileum of the AKI rats. However, the absorption of theophylline was not affected. While intestinal Oatp2b1 expression was markedly decreased in the AKI rats, no alteration was observed in Oatp1a2 expression. The plasma levels of pravastatin after intraluminal administration declined significantly in the AKI rats. However, no such decline was observed after intravenous administration. This study suggested that the responses of intestinal Oatps to experimentally induced AKI was not unidirectional and that pravastatin absorption was governed more potently by Oatp2b1 than by Oatp1a2 in the rat intestine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The solute carrier (SLC) and the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamilies play essential roles in the disposition of small molecules (endogenous metabolites, uremic toxins, drugs) in the blood, kidney, liver, intestine, and other organs. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the loss of renal function is associated with altered function of remote organs. As renal function declines, many molecules accumulate in the plasma. Many studies now support the view that ABC and SLC transporters as well as drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) in renal and non-renal tissues are directly or indirectly affected by the presence of various types of uremic toxins, including those derived from the gut microbiome; this can lead to aberrant inter-organ communication. AREAS COVERED Here, the expression, localization and/or function of various SLC and ABC transporters as well as DMEs in the kidney and other organs are discussed in the context of CKD and systemic pathophysiology. EXPERT OPINION According to the Remote Sensing and Signaling Theory (RSST), a transporter and DME-centric network that optimizes local and systemic metabolism maintains homeostasis in the steady state and resets homeostasis following perturbations due to renal dysfunction. The implications of this view for pharmacotherapy of CKD are also discussed.
