Ni C, Hong M. Oligomerization of drug transporters: Forms, functions, and mechanisms. Acta Pharm Sin B 2024; 14:1924-1938. [PMID: 38799641 PMCID: PMC11119549 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2024.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Drug transporters are essential players in the transmembrane transport of a wide variety of clinical drugs. The broad substrate spectra and versatile distribution pattern of these membrane proteins infer their pharmacological and clinical significance. With our accumulating knowledge on the three-dimensional structure of drug transporters, their oligomerization status has become a topic of intense study due to the possible functional roles carried out by such kind of post-translational modification (PTM). In-depth studies of oligomeric complexes formed among drug transporters as well as their interactions with other regulatory proteins can help us better understand the regulatory mechanisms of these membrane proteins, provide clues for the development of novel drugs, and improve the therapeutic efficacy. In this review, we describe different oligomerization forms as well as their structural basis of major drug transporters in the ATP-binding cassette and solute carrier superfamilies, summarize our current knowledge on the influence of oligomerization for protein expression level and transport function of these membrane proteins, and discuss the regulatory mechanisms of oligomerization. Finally, we highlight the challenges associated with the current oligomerization studies and propose some thoughts on the pharmaceutical application of this important drug transporter PTM.

Powell JT, Kayesh R, Ballesteros-Perez A, Alam K, Niyonshuti P, Soderblom EJ, Ding K, Xu C, Yue W. Assessing Trans-Inhibition of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 by Calcineurin and/or PPIase Inhibitors and Global Identification of OATP1B1/3-Associated Proteins. Pharmaceutics 2023; 16:63. [PMID: 38258074 PMCID: PMC10818623 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16010063] [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: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and OATP1B3 are key determinants of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Various drugs including the calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) cyclosporine A (CsA) exert preincubation-induced trans-inhibitory effects upon OATP1B1 and/or OATP1B3 (abbreviated as OATP1B1/3) by unknown mechanism(s). OATP1B1/3 are phosphoproteins; calcineurin, which dephosphorylates and regulates numerous phosphoproteins, has not previously been investigated in the context of preincubation-induced trans-inhibition of OATP1B1/3. Herein, we compare the trans-inhibitory effects exerted on OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 by CsA, the non-analogous CNI tacrolimus, and the non-CNI CsA analogue SCY-635 in transporter-overexpressing human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 stable cell lines. Preincubation (10-60 min) with tacrolimus (1-10 µM) rapidly and significantly reduces OATP1B1- and OATP1B3-mediated transport up to 0.18 ± 0.03- and 0.20 ± 0.02-fold compared to the control, respectively. Both CsA and SCY-635 can trans-inhibit OATP1B1, with the inhibitory effects progressively increasing over a 60 min preincubation time. At each equivalent preincubation time, CsA has greater trans-inhibitory effects toward OATP1B1 than SCY-635. Preincubation with SCY-635 for 60 min yielded IC50 of 2.2 ± 1.4 µM against OATP1B1, which is ~18 fold greater than that of CsA (0.12 ± 0.04 µM). Furthermore, a proteomics-based screening for protein interactors was used to examine possible proteins and processes contributing to OATP1B1/3 regulation and preincubation-induced inhibition by CNIs and other drugs. A total of 861 and 357 proteins were identified as specifically associated with OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, respectively, including various protein kinases, ubiquitin-related enzymes, the tacrolimus (FK506)-binding proteins FKBP5 and FKBP8, and several known regulatory targets of calcineurin. The current study reports several novel findings that expand our understanding of impaired OATP1B1/3 function; these include preincubation-induced trans-inhibition of OATP1B1/3 by the CNI tacrolimus, greater preincubation-induced inhibition by CsA compared to its non-CNI analogue SCY-635, and association of OATP1B1/3 with various proteins relevant to established and candidate OATP1B1/3 regulatory processes.

Abstract
In experiments on HepG2 cells, we studied the effect of the original domestic neurotropic drugs omberacetam, fabomotizole, and ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (EMHPS) (1-500 μM) on the activity and content of organic anion transporting polypeptides OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. It was shown that omberacetam (500 μM) increased the content of OATP1B1 and OATP1B3, fabomotizole did not affect the level of both transporters, and EMHPS (500 μM) increased the content of OATP1B1 compared to the control and did not affect the level of OATP1B3. The tested substances also reduced the OATP1B1/OATP1B3 ratio, as evidenced by a decrease in the penetration of atorvastatin, a substrate of the transporters, into HepG2 cells in the presence of omberacetam (100-500 μM), fabomotizole (500 μM), and EMHPS (10-500 μM). Evaluation of clinical significance of the obtained results, according to the FDA approach based on the calculation of the Cmax/IC50 ratio, showed that the effect of the tested substances on OATP1B1/OATP1B3 is clinically insignificant.

Wang P, Murray JW, Wolkoff AW. Interaction of Human OATP1B1 with PDZK1 Is Required for Its Trafficking to the Hepatocyte Plasma Membrane. Drug Metab Dispos 2023; 51:1342-1349. [PMID: 37442606 PMCID: PMC10506696 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.123.001248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Uptake of xenobiotics by hepatocytes is mediated by specific proteins, including organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs), residing on the basolateral (sinusoidal) plasma membrane. Many of the OATPs have PDZ consensus binding sites, determined by their C-terminal 4 amino acids, while others do not. Mouse and rat OATP1A1 are associated with PDZK1, which is necessary for their trafficking to the plasma membrane. humanOATP1B1 (hOATP1B1) is a major drug transporter in human liver. Although localized to the plasma membrane, it was thought to lack a PDZ consensus motif, suggesting that the trafficking paradigm for murine OATPs is not applicable to human liver. The aim of the present study was to determine whether hOATP1B1 is a ligand for hPDZK1. hOATP1B1 immunoprecipitates with hPDZK1 following co-expression in 293T cells as well as in normal human liver. Co-expression with each of the 4 PDZ domains revealed interaction with domain 1 only. A truncated version of hOATP1B1 that lacks its terminal 4 amino acid PDZ binding motif as well as hOATP1B3, which does not contain a PDZ binding consensus motif, failed to interact with hPDZK1. Immunofluorescence microscopy of hOATP1B1 in stably transfected HeLa cells that endogenously express hPDZK1 showed that it distributes predominantly along the plasma membrane whereas hOATP1B1 lacking its terminal 4 amino acids distributes primarily intracellularly with little plasma membrane localization. Similar to findings in rats and mice, human OATP1B1 is a ligand for PDZK1 and requires interaction with PDZK1 for optimal trafficking to the hepatocyte plasma membrane. SIGNIFICANCE: Previous studies suggested that OATP1B1, a major xenobiotic transporter in human liver, does not have a PDZ binding consensus motif and does not follow the paradigm for subcellular trafficking and function that was established for OATP1A1 in murine liver. We now demonstrated that OATP1B1 but not OATP1B3 has a PDZ binding consensus motif that mediates binding to PDZK1 and is required for its trafficking to the plasma membrane. Such interaction could be an important previously unrecognized modulator of transport function.

Free Cholesterol Affects the Function and Localization of Human Na +/Taurocholate Cotransporting Polypeptide (NTCP) and Organic Cation Transporter 1 (OCT1). Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23158457. [PMID: 35955590 PMCID: PMC9368832 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23158457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are associated with obesity. They are accompanied by increased levels of free cholesterol in the liver. Most free cholesterol resides within the plasma membrane. We assessed the impact of adding or removing free cholesterol on the function and localization of two hepatocellular uptake transporters: the Na+/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) and the organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1). We used a cholesterol-MCD complex (cholesterol) to add cholesterol and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD) to remove cholesterol. Our results demonstrate that adding cholesterol decreases NTCP capacity from 132 ± 20 to 69 ± 37 µL/mg/min and OCT1 capacity from 209 ± 66 to 125 ± 26 µL/mg/min. Removing cholesterol increased NTCP and OCT1 capacity to 224 ± 65 and 279 ± 20 µL/mg/min, respectively. In addition, adding cholesterol increased the localization of NTCP within lipid rafts, while adding or removing cholesterol increased OCT1 localization in lipid rafts. These results demonstrate that increased cholesterol levels can impair NTCP and OCT1 function, suggesting that the free cholesterol content of the liver can alter bile acid and drug uptake into the liver. This could explain the increased plasma bile acid levels in NAFLD and NASH patients and potentially lead to altered drug disposition.

Hau RK, Klein RR, Wright SH, Cherrington NJ. Localization of Xenobiotic Transporters Expressed at the Human Blood-Testis Barrier. Drug Metab Dispos 2022; 50:770-780.

Abstract
The blood-testis barrier (BTB) is formed by basal tight junctions between adjacent Sertoli cells (SCs) of the seminiferous tubules and acts as a physical barrier to protect developing germ cells in the adluminal compartment from reproductive toxicants. Xenobiotics, including antivirals, male contraceptives, and cancer chemotherapeutics, are known to cross the BTB, although the mechanisms that permit barrier circumvention are generally unknown. This study used immunohistological staining of human testicular tissue to determine the site of expression for xenobiotic transporters that facilitate transport across the BTB. Organic anion transporter (OAT) 1, OAT2, and organic cation transporter, novel (OCTN) 1 primarily localized to the basal membrane of SCs, whereas OCTN2, multidrug resistance protein (MRP) 3, MRP6, and MRP7 localized to SC basal membranes and peritubular myoid cells (PMCs) surrounding the seminiferous tubules. Concentrative nucleoside transporter (CNT) 2 localized to Leydig cells (LCs), PMCs, and SC apicolateral membranes. Organic cation transporter (OCT) 1, OCT2, and OCT3 mostly localized to PMCs and LCs, although there was minor staining in developing germ cells for OCT3. Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1A2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2A1, OATP2B1, and OATP3A1-v2 localized to SC basal membranes with diffuse staining for some transporters. Notably, OATP1C1 and OATP4A1 primarily localized to LCs. Positive staining for multidrug and toxin extrusion protein (MATE) 1 was only observed throughout the adluminal compartment. Definitive staining for CNT1, OAT3, MATE2, and OATP6A1 was not observed. The location of these transporters is consistent with their involvement in the movement of xenobiotics across the BTB. Altogether, the localization of these transporters provides insight into the mechanisms of drug disposition across the BTB and will be useful in developing tools to overcome the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic difficulties presented by the BTB. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Although the total mRNA and protein expression of drug transporters in the testes has been explored, the localization of many transporters at the blood-testis barrier (BTB) has not been determined. This study applied immunohistological staining in human testicular tissues to identify the cellular localization of drug transporters in the testes. The observations made in this study have implications for the development of drugs that can effectively use transporters expressed at the basal membranes of Sertoli cells to bypass the BTB.

Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B1 Is a Potential Reporter for Dual MR and Optical Imaging. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22168797.

Abstract
Membrane proteins responsible for transporting magnetic resonance (MR) and fluorescent contrast agents are of particular importance because they are potential reporter proteins in noninvasive molecular imaging. Gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA), a liver-specific MR contrast agent, has been used globally for more than 10 years. However, the corresponding molecular transportation mechanism has not been validated. We previously reported that the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B3 has an uptake capability for both MR agents (Gd-EOB-DTPA) and indocyanine green (ICG), a clinically available near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye. This study further evaluated OATP1B1, another polypeptide of the OATP family, to determine its reporter capability. In the OATP1B1 transfected 293T transient expression model, both Gd-BOPTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA uptake were confirmed through 1.5 T MR imaging. In the constant OAPT1B1 and OATP1B3 expression model in the HT-1080 cell line, both HT-1080-OAPT1B1 and HT-1080-OATP1B3 were observed to ingest Gd-BOPTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA. Lastly, we validated the ICG uptake capability of both OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. OAPT1B3 exhibited a superior ICG uptake capability to that of OAPT1B1. We conclude that OATP1B1 is a potential reporter for dual MR and NIR fluorescent molecular imaging, especially in conjunction with Gd-BOPTA.

Abstract
Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) are transmembrane proteins responsible for the uptake of a wide range of endogenous compounds and clinically important drugs. The liver-specific OATP1B1 serves crucial roles in the removal of many orally administered drugs. The proper function of the transporter hence is essential for the pharmacokinetics of various therapeutic agents. Membrane proteins tend to form oligomers that are important for their stability, targeting and/or interactions with the substrates. Previous study in our laboratory revealed that OATP1B1 may form homo-oligomers and that a GXXXG motif localized at transmembrane domain 8 (TM8) may affect its oligomerization. In the current study, three short-form leucine heptad repeats within the transmembrane domains of OATP1B1 were investigated. It was found that the disruption of leucine heptad repeats within TM3 dramatically reduced the uptake function and protein-protein association of OATP1B1; while within TM8, only L378 is essential for the function of OATP1B1 and alanine replacement of L378 exhibited no effect on the oligomerization. The fragmental expression of TM3 interfered with the association of OATP1B1 homo-oligomers as well as its association with OATP1B3, which is also selectively expressed at human hepatocytes, suggesting that the region may be shared by both transporters for their protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Introduction: Precision drug therapy requires accounting for pertinent factors in pharmacokinetic (PK) inter-individual variability (i.e., pharmacogenetics, diseases, polypharmacy, and natural product use) that can cause sub-therapeutic or adverse effects. Although each of these individual factors can alter victim drug PK, multi-factorial interactions can cause additive, synergistic, or opposing effects. Determining the magnitude and direction of these complex multi-factorial effects requires understanding the rate-limiting redundant and/or sequential PK processes for each drug.Areas covered: Perturbations in drug-metabolizing enzymes and/or transporters are integral to single- and multi-factorial PK interactions. Examples of single factor PK interactions presented include gene-drug (pharmacogenetic), disease-drug, drug-drug, and natural product-drug interactions. Examples of multi-factorial PK interactions presented include drug-gene-drug, natural product-gene-drug, gene-gene-drug, disease-natural product-drug, and disease-gene-drug interactions. Clear interpretation of multi-factorial interactions can be complicated by study design, complexity in victim drug PK, and incomplete mechanistic understanding of victim drug PK.Expert opinion: Incorporation of complex multi-factorial PK interactions into precision drug therapy requires advances in clinical decision tools, intentional PK study designs, drug-metabolizing enzyme and transporter fractional contribution determinations, systems and computational approaches (e.g., physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling), and PK phenotyping of progressive diseases.

Abstract
The liver is beyond any doubt the most important metabolic organ of the human body. This function requires an intensive crosstalk within liver cellular structures, but also with other organs. Membrane transport proteins are therefore of upmost importance as they represent the sensors and mediators that shuttle signals from outside to the inside of liver cells and/or vice versa. In this review, we summarize the known literature of liver transport proteins with a clear emphasis on functional and structural information on ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which are expressed in the human liver. These primary active membrane transporters form one of the largest families of membrane proteins. In the liver, they play an essential role in for example bile formation or xenobiotic export. Our review provides a state of the art and comprehensive summary of the current knowledge of hepatobiliary ABC transporters. Clearly, our knowledge has improved with a breath-taking speed over the last few years and will expand further. Thus, this review will provide the status quo and will lay the foundation for new and exciting avenues in liver membrane transporter research.

J Pharm Sci 2020; 109:3206-3209. [PMID: 32593714 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2020.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) retention test is widely used for preoperative evaluation of liver function. OATP1B3 (gene symbol: SLCO1B3) is the major transporter for hepatic ICG uptake. We previously demonstrated that the individuals with a homozygous SLCO1B3 null allele revealed markedly impaired ICG clearance. However, the effect of heterozygosity of this variant on ICG clearance remains unknown. We compared the results of ICG retention rate at 15 min (ICG-R15) and hepatic OATP1B3 expression among individuals whose SLCO1B3 genotype was determined. Although OATP1B3 expression was significantly lower in the heterozygosity than the wild-type, the ICG-R15 results were comparable; 8.4 ± 3.4 (mean ± SD) % in the heterozygosity and 8.7 ± 6.0% in the wild-type. A homozygous individual revealed markedly high ICG-R15 (79.8%) and lacked OATP1B3 expression. In conclusion, the individuals with a heterozygous SLCO1B3 null variant had similar ICG clearance capacity to those with the wild-type despite decreased hepatic OATP1B3 expression.
