Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:878526. [PMID: 35517807 PMCID: PMC9065348 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.878526] [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: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: The present study aimed to explore the potential herb-drug interactions (HDI) between Shengmai injection (SMI) and losartan potassium (LOS) based on the expression profiles of cytochromes P450 (CYP450) and drug transporters in rat and in vitro. Methods: Different concentrations of SMI were used to explore the influence of SMI on the antihypertensive efficacy of LOS in the hypertension rat model established by N (omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) for 4 weeks. Subsequently, the serum concentration levels of LOS and losartan carboxylic acid (EXP3174) were determined by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and pharmacokinetic analysis. Human liver microsomes, human multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1/P-gp), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) vesicles, human embryonic kidney 293 cell line with stable expression of the organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (HEK293-OATP1B1 cells) and mock-transfected HEK293 (HEK293-MOCK) cells were used to verify the effects of SMI on CYP450 enzymes and drug transporters in vitro. Results: Low, medium, and high concentrations of SMI increased the antihypertensive efficacy of LOS to varying degrees. The high dose SMI increased the half-life (t 1/2 ), the maximum plasma concentration (C max), the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to the time of the last measurable plasma concentration (AUC 0-t ), AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC 0-∞ ), and mean residence time (MRT) values of LOS and decreased its apparent volume of distribution (Vd) and clearance (CL) values. The AUC 0-t , AUC 0-∞ , and MRT of LOS were increased, whereas the CL was decreased by the medium concentration of SMI. In addition, the high, medium, and low doses of SMI increased the relative bioavailability (Frel) of LOS. SMI exhibited no significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of EXP3174. In vitro, SMI exhibited different suppressive effects on the enzyme activity levels of CYP1A2 (6.12%), CYP2B6 (2.72%), CYP2C9 (14.31%), CYP2C19 (12.96%), CYP2D6 (12.26%), CYP3A4 (3.72%), CYP2C8 (10.00-30.00%), MDR1 (0.75%), OATP1B1(2.03%), and BCRP (0.15%). Conclusion: In conclusion, SMI improved the antihypertensive efficacy of LOS in the L-NAME-induced hypertension rat model by increasing the concentration of LOS, while leaving the concentration of EXP3174 intact. SMI affected the pharmacokinetic properties of LOS by decreasing the elimination of LOS. These effects might partly be attributed to the inhibition of the activities of CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and of the drug transporters (P-gp, BCRP, and OATP1B1) by SMI, which need further scrutiny.

BMS-599626, a Highly Selective Pan-HER Kinase Inhibitor, Antagonizes ABCG2-Mediated Drug Resistance. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12092502. [PMID: 32899268 PMCID: PMC7565406 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12092502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary ABC transporters comprise a large group of ATP binding plasma membrane proteins, classified into subfamilies A-G, that transport substrates out of cells to maintain homeostasis. Prolonged exposure to chemotherapeutic drugs leads to increased expression of ABC transporters in cancer cells, resulting in increased efflux and decreased efficacy of anti-neoplastic agents. We found that BMS-599626, at 300 nM, inhibited the function of ABCG2, thereby increasing the efficacy of substrate chemotherapeutic drugs in wild-type as well as mutant ABCG2 overexpressing cells. In addition, BMS-599626 did not alter the expression or intracellular localization of ABCG2 but produced its reversal effect by decreasing efflux and increasing the intracellular accumulation of substrate chemotherapeutic drugs. Finally, BMS-5999626 also inhibited ABCG2 mediated ATP hydrolysis. Overall, our results show that administration of BMS-599626 along with chemotherapeutic drugs can improve the efficacy of chemotherapy in ABC transporter overexpressing cancer cells. Abstract Multidrug resistance (MDR) associated with the overexpression of ABC transporters is one of the key causes of chemotherapy failure. Various compounds blocking the function and/or downregulating the expression of these transporters have been developed over the last few decades. However, their potency and toxicity have always been a concern. In this report, we found that BMS-599626 is a highly potent inhibitor of the ABCG2 transporter, inhibiting its efflux function at 300 nM. Our study repositioned BMS-599626, a highly selective pan-HER kinase inhibitor, as a chemosensitizer in ABCG2-overexpressing cell lines. As shown by the cytotoxicity assay results, BMS-599626, at noncytotoxic concentrations, sensitizes ABCG2-overexpressing cells to topotecan and mitoxantrone, two well-known substrates of ABCG2. The results of our radioactive drug accumulation experiment show that the ABCG2-overexpressing cells, treated with BMS-599626, had an increase in the accumulation of substrate chemotherapeutic drugs, as compared to their parental subline cells. Moreover, BMS-599626 did not change the protein expression or cell surface localization of ABCG2 and inhibited its ATPase activity. Our in-silico docking study also supports the interaction of BMS-599626 with the substrate-binding site of ABCG2. Taken together, these results suggest that administration of chemotherapeutic drugs, along with nanomolar concentrations (300 nM) of BMS-599626, may be effective against ABCG2-mediated MDR in clinical settings.

[PMID: 32175279 PMCID: PMC7056829 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.00228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2019] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Failure of cancer chemotherapy is mostly due to multidrug resistance (MDR). Overcoming MDR mediated by overexpression of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters in cancer cells remains a big challenge. In this study, we explore whether NVP-TAE684, a novel ALK inhibitor which has the potential to inhibit the function of ABC transport, could reverse ABC transporter-mediated MDR. MTT assay was carried out to determine cell viability and reversal effect of NVP-TAE684 in parental and drug resistant cells. Drug accumulation and efflux assay was performed to examine the effect of NVP-TAE684 on the cellular accumulation and efflux of chemotherapeutic drugs. The ATPase activity of ABCG2 transporter in the presence or absence of NVP-TAE684 was conducted to determine the impact of NVP-TAE684 on ATP hydrolysis. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assay were used to investigate protein molecules related to MDR. In addition, the interaction between NVP-TAE684 and ABCG2 transporter was investigated via in silico analysis. MTT assay showed that NVP-TAE684 significantly decreased MDR caused byABCG2-, but not ABCC1-transporter. Drug accumulation and efflux tests indicated that the effect of NVP-TAE684 in decreasing MDR was due to the inhibition of efflux function of ABCG2 transporter. However, NVP-TAE684 did not alter the expression or change the subcellular localization of ABCG2 protein. Furthermore, ATPase activity analysis indicated that NVP-TAE684 could stimulate ABCG2 ATPase activity. Molecular in silico analysis showed that NVP-TAE684 interacts with the substrate binding sites of the ABCG2 transporter. Taken together, our study indicates that NVP-TAE684 could reduce the resistance of MDR cells to chemotherapeutic agents, which provides a promising strategy to overcome MDR.

Abstract
ABCG2 belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily and functions as a poly-specific efflux pump. As it can transport a broad spectrum of substrates out of cells, ABCG2 is thought to alter the pharmacokinetics of drugs applied to treat certain diseases. Especially, its potential to induce resistance to chemotherapy is currently the object of intense research. To foster understanding of mechanisms relevant for substrate recognition and selection of ABCG2 substrates and to finally develop selective therapeutic modulators (e.g. inhibitors) of ABCG2 transport activity, it is important to further explore the precise 3D structure of the transporter. While efforts to elucidate the three-dimensional structure of ABCG2 using X-ray crystal structure analysis have not been successful so far, high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy-based investigations have revealed exciting new insights into the structure and function of the transporter. In this review, we will focus on these seminal publications to summarize the current understanding of tertiary and quaternary structure, homodimerization or oligomerization, and functions of the ABCG2 transporter protein.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are involved in a large number of processes and contribute to various human genetic diseases. Among other functions, ABC proteins are involved in the transport of multiple drugs through cells. Most of the genes coding for these transporters are highly polymorphic and DNA variants in these genes can affect the normal functioning of these proteins, affecting the way drugs are transported, increasing or decreasing drug levels. These changes in the intracellular and extracellular drug levels may be associated with altered drug effectiveness or severe drug-induced adverse events. This review presents a state-of-art of the most pharmacogenetics clinically relevant ABC transporters closed to the clinical implementation.
