Abstract
Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (AdSCs) are one of the most promising cell types for cell-based therapies. In addition, AdSCs systematically injected into the body have been reported to localize to damaged tissues and certain types of tumor. As an important part of establishing a potent drug delivery system with AdSCs, the mechanism and efficiency of uptake into AdSCs has drawn much research attention. However, this remains to be fully clarified. The aim of this study was to examine the characteristics of endocytosis-mediated uptake in human AdSCs. We used fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled albumin (FITC-albumin) as a potent marker of endocytosis. FITC-albumin uptake was time- and temperature-dependent. Confocal microscopy showed punctate localization of fluorescence in the cytoplasm. FITC-albumin uptake was inhibited by human serum albumin in a concentration-dependent manner. FITC-albumin uptake was inhibited by a metabolic inhibitor (2,4-dinitrophenol), a microtubule polymerization inhibitor (colchicine), an actin polymerization inhibitor (cytochalasin D), endosomal acidification inhibitors (chloroquine and bafilomycin A1), clathrin-dependent endocytosis inhibitors (chloropromazine, phenylarsine oxide, and Pitstop2), and caveolin-dependent endocytosis inhibitors (nystatin and methyl-β-cyclodextrin). Furthermore, the knockdown of the clathrin heavy chain and caveolin-1 significantly reduced FITC-albumin uptake. These findings suggest that AdSCs take up albumin via endocytic pathways in which clathrin and caveolin are involved.

Abstract
The relationship between the plasma insulin (INS) concentration–time course and plasma glucose concentration–time course during and after pulsatile INS administration to rats was characterized using a pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK–PD) model. A total INS dose of 0.5 IU/kg was intravenously injected in 2 to 20 pulses over a 2-h period. Compared with the single bolus administration, the area under the effect-time curve (AUE) increased depending on the number of pulses, and the AUEs for more than four pulses plateaued at a significantly larger value, which was similar to that after the infusion of a total of 0.5 IU/kg of INS over 2 h. No increase in plasma INS concentration occurred after pulsatile administration. Two indirect response models primarily reflecting the receptor-binding process (IR model) or glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) translocation (GT model) were applied to describe the PK–PD relationship after single intravenous bolus administration of INS. These models could not explain the observed data after pulsatile administration. However, the IR-GT model, which was a combination of the IR and GT models, successfully explained the effects of pulsatile administration and intravenous infusion. These results indicate that the receptor-binding process and GLUT4 translocation are responsible for the change in AUE after pulsatile administration.

Abstract
Fatty acids bound to albumin have been reported to be involved in various responses in renal proximal tubular cells following albumin overload, leading to progression of tubulointerstitial damage in the kidneys. In addition, it has been reported that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in nephrotoxicity. The aim of this study was to examine whether albumin-bound fatty acids induce PGE2 production in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2. Fatty acid-bearing human serum albumin increased PGE2 release in the culture medium in concentration-dependent and time-dependent manners, but fatty acid-depleted albumin had no effect on PGE2 production. Next, we investigated the effect of arachidonic acid, a precursor of eicosanoids, on PGE2 production. Arachidonic acid with fatty acid-free albumin significantly enhanced the release of PGE2 into the medium in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, we examined the effect of arachidonic acid on mRNA expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). Arachidonic acid increased HIF-1α mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings suggest that fatty acids, at least in part arachidonic acid, bound to albumin increase PGE2 production and expression of HIF-1α mRNA and protein, possibly resulting in various cell responses induced by albumin overload.

Abstract
The human breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2), a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family, is a drug transporter restricting absorption and enhancing excretion of many compounds including anticancer drugs. The cis-regulatory elements in the BCRP promoter include a hypoxia response element, i.e., the DNA binding site for hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). In this study, we investigated the effect of cobalt chloride, a chemical inducer of HIF-1α, on the expression and function of BCRP in human renal proximal tubular cell line HK-2. Cobalt chloride treatment significantly increased the mRNA expression of not only glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), a typical HIF-1 target gene mRNA, but also ABCG2 mRNA in HK-2 cells. The BCRP inhibitor Ko143-sensitive accumulation of BCRP substrates such as Hoechst33342 and mitoxantrone was significantly enhanced by cobalt chloride treatment. In addition, treatment with cobalt chloride significantly increased the Ko143-sensitive accumulation of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled methotrexate in HK-2 cells. Furthermore, cobalt chloride treatment attenuated the cytotoxicity induced by mitoxantrone and methotrexate, which might be, at least in part, due to the increase in BCRP-mediated transport activity via HIF-1 activation. These findings indicate that HIF-1 activation protects renal proximal tubular cells against BCRP substrate-induced cytotoxicity by enhancing the expression and function of BCRP in renal proximal tubular cells.

Abstract
AIMS Cisplatin (CDDP) is a platinum-based drug that is widely used in cancer chemotherapy, but the development of resistance in tumor cells is a major weakness of these treatments. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain cisplatin resistance, and disruption of certain cellular pathways could modulate drug sensitivity to cisplatin. A lower level of cross-resistance to cisplatin leads to better outcomes in clinical use. MAIN METHODS Cross-resistance was assessed using cisplatin resistant lung cancer cell line A549/CDDP. Cell cycle analysis was used to examine the effect of cisplatin on cell signaling pathways regulating G2/M transition in cisplatin resistant cells. KEY FINDINGS A549/CDDP cells exhibited cross-resistance to carboplatin, but not oxaliplatin, which is often found in platinum analogues. Flow cytometry showed that nocodazole treatment caused a G2/M block in both A549/CDDP cells and cisplatin susceptible cells. However, A549/CDDP cells escaped the G2/M block following exposure to cisplatin. Activation of the Cdc2/CyclinB complex is required for transition from G2 to M phase, and the inactive form of phosphorylated Cdc2 is activated by Cdc25C dephosphorylation of Tyr15. In the cisplatin-treated susceptible cells, the levels of phosphorylated Cdc2 and Cdc25C were markedly decreased, leading to a loss of Cdc2 activity and G2/M arrest. In A549/CDDP cells, however, Cdc2 activity was supported by the expression of Cdc2 and Cdc25C after the addition of cisplatin, which resulted in G2/M progression. SIGNIFICANCE The resistance phenotype of G2/M progression has been correlated with dysregulation of Cdc2 in a human lung cancer cell line selected for cisplatin.

Abstract
The effects of ethanol extracts from Thai plants belonging to the families of Annonaceae, Rutaceae, and Zingiberaceae on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function and multidrug resistance were examined in paclitaxel-resistant HepG2 (PR-HepG2) cells. All the extracts tested, significantly increased the accumulation of [3H]paclitaxel, a P-gp substrate, in the cells. Among nine extracts, Z01 and Z02, extracts from Curcuma comosa and Kaempferia marginata (Zingiberaceae family), respectively, potently increased the accumulation. In addition, Z01 and Z02 increased the accumulation of other P-gp substrates, rhodamine 123 and doxorubicin, in PR-HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Increased accumulation of rhodamine 123 and doxorubicin by Z01 and Z02 was also confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The effect of Z01 and Z02 pretreatment on the expression of MDR1 mRNA was also examined. The expression of MDR1 mRNA was not affected by the treatment of PR-HepG2 cells with these extracts for 48 hours. Cytotoxicity of paclitaxel was examined by XTT and protein assays in the absence and presence of Z02. Z02 potentiated the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel in PR-HepG2 cells. These results suggest that Curcuma comosa and Kaempferia marginata belonging to Zingiberaceae are useful sources to search for new P-gp modulator(s) that can be used to overcome multidrug resistance of cancer cells.

Abstract
Protamine, a mixture of polypeptides that is rich in arginine, has been used clinically as an antidote to heparin overdoses and a complexing agent in a long-acting insulin preparation. When protamine is administered intravenously, its abundant accumulation in the kidneys has been reported. However, the renal uptake mechanism for protamine is not clear. In this study, we examined the transport mechanism for protamine in opossum kidney (OK) cells, a suitable in vitro model for renal proximal tubular epithelial cells. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the association of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled protamine from salmon (FITC-protamine) by OK cells was inhibited by unlabeled protamine in a concentration-dependent manner. The association of FITC-protamine was temperature- and energy-dependent. Confocal microscopy analysis showed that the fluorescence was localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of OK cells. In addition, FITC-protamine association was inhibited by cationic drugs such as polycationic gentamicin and polymixin B, but it was increased by a basic amino acid, arginine. Inhibitors for clathrin- and caveolin-dependent endocytosis showed inhibitory effects on FITC-protamine association. Pretreatment with heparinase III partially but significantly decreased the association of FITC-protamine. These results suggest that protamine may be taken up by OK cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis, which may result in its localization in the cytoplasm and nucleus of the cells.

Abstract
Aminoglycoside antibiotics such as gentamicin and amikacin are well recognized as a clinically important antibiotic class because of their reliable efficacy and low cost. However, the clinical use of aminoglycosides is limited by their nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Nephrotoxicity is induced mainly due to high accumulation of the antibiotics in renal proximal tubular cells. Therefore, a lot of studies on characterization of the renal transport system for aminoglycosides so far reported involved various in-vivo and in-vitro techniques. Early studies revealed that aminoglycosides are taken up through adsorptive endocytosis in renal epithelial cells. Subsequently, it was found that megalin, a multiligand endocytic receptor abundantly expressed on the apical side of renal proximal tubular cells, can bind aminoglycosides and that megalin-mediated endocytosis plays a crucial role in renal accumulation of aminoglycosides. Therefore, megalin has been suggested to be a promising molecular target for the prevention of aminoglycoside-induced nephrotoxicity. On the other hand, recently, some reports have indicated that aminoglycosides are transported via a pathway that does not require endocytosis, such as non-selective cation channel-mediated entry, in cultured renal tubular cells as well as cochlear outer hair cells. In this commentary article, we review the cellular transport of aminoglycosides in renal epithelial cells, focusing on endocytosis-dependent and -independent pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on insulin transport in alveolar epithelial cells. METHODS We first examined the effect of CSE pretreatment on cell viability, mRNA expression, and lamellar body structures in A549 cells. Then the effect of CSE pretreatment on FITC-insulin transport was examined. RESULTS When A549 cells were treated with 30 μg/ml of CSE for 48 h, the expression of some mRNAs abundantly expressed in type II alveolar epithelial cells such as surfactant protein B was significantly increased. Lamellar bodylike structures became more evident with CSE treatment. FITC-insulin uptake from the apical side and subsequent efflux to the basal side was enhanced by CSE treatment in A549 cells. The enhancing effect of CSE on FITC-insulin uptake was concentration-dependent and reversible. A concentration-dependent enhancing effect of CSE on FITC-insulin uptake was also observed in normal, primary cultured alveolar type II epithelial cells isolated from rats. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of A549 cells by CSE may direct the cells to a more type II-like phenotype. In accordance with this observation, FITC-insulin uptake was enhanced by CSE treatment. These results may partly explain the higher insulin absorption from the lung in smokers than in nonsmokers.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not protamine, an arginine-rich basic protein mixture, inhibits the accumulation of gentamicin, a nephrotoxic drug, in cultured opossum kidney (OK) epithelial cells.
Methods
The effect of protamine from salmon on accumulation and binding of [3H]gentamicin was investigated in OK cells.
Key findings
Protamine inhibited the binding and accumulation of [3H]gentamicin in a concentration-dependent manner. The accumulation of [14C]inulin, a marker of fluid-phase endocytosis, was not affected by protamine at concentrations up to 1 mm. l-Arginine at concentrations up to 10 mm had no significant effect on the accumulation of [3H]gentamicin. On the other hand, preincubation with 100 μm protamine for 5 min decreased the accumulation of [3H]gentamicin to almost the same extent as coincubation with 100 μm protamine for 60 min.
Conclusions
Our results indicate that protamine decreases the accumulation of gentamicin in OK cells. These findings suggest that protamine or its derivatives might be useful in preventing the nephrotoxicity of aminoglycoside antibiotics including gentamicin.

Abstract
The uptake mechanism of FITC-labeled albumin (FITC-albumin) was examined in human alveolar epithelial cell line A549. FITC-albumin uptake by A549 cells was time- and temperature-dependent, and was markedly suppressed at 4°C compared with that at 37°C. The uptake was saturable, and was mediated by a high-affinity, low-capacity system and by a low-affinity, high-capacity system. In the following experiments, we focused on the low-affinity system. FITC-albumin uptake was markedly inhibited by metabolic inhibitors and by a vacuolar H⁺-ATPase, bafilomycin A₁. The uptake was inhibited by clathrin-mediated endocytosis inhibitors (phenylarsine oxide and chlorpromazine). Potassium depletion and hypertonicity that inhibit clathrin-mediated endocytosis also decreased FITC-albumin uptake. On the other hand, caveolae-mediated endocytosis inhibitors (indomethacin and nystatin) did not affect FITC-albumin uptake. In addition, FITC-albumin uptake was inhibited by macropinocytosis inhibitors such as 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride. These results suggest that the low-affinity system of FITC-albumin uptake is mediated by endocytosis in A549 cells, predominantly via a clathrin-mediated pathway. Macropinocytosis, but not caveolae-mediated endocytosis, may also be involved. Considering our previous findings, albumin may be transported by a similar mechanism and/or pathway in rat and human alveolar epithelial cells.

Abstract
For the development of efficient pulmonary delivery systems for protein and peptide drugs, it is important to understand their transport mechanisms in alveolar epithelial cells. In this study, the uptake mechanism for FITC-insulin in cultured alveolar epithelial cell line RLE-6TN was elucidated. FITC-insulin uptake by RLE-6TN cells was time-dependent, temperature-sensitive, and concentration-dependent. The uptake was inhibited by metabolic inhibitors, cytochalasin D, clathrin-mediated endocytosis inhibitors, and dynasore, an inhibitor of dynamin GTPase. On the other hand, no inhibitory effect was observed with caveolae-mediated endocytosis inhibitors and a macropinocytosis inhibitor. Intracellular FITC-insulin was found to be partly transported to the basal side of the epithelial cell monolayers. In addition, colocalization of FITC-insulin and LysoTracker Red was observed on confocal laser scanning microscopy, indicating that FITC-insulin was partly targeted to lysosomes. In accordance with these findings, SDS-PAGE/fluoroimage analysis showed that intact FITC-insulin in the cells was eliminated with time. The possible receptor involved in FITC-insulin uptake by RLE-6TN cells was examined by using siRNA. Transfection of the cells with megalin or insulin receptor siRNA successfully reduced the corresponding mRNA expression. FITC-insulin uptake decreased on the transfection with insulin receptor siRNA, but not that with megalin siRNA. These results suggest that insulin is taken up through endocytosis in RLE-6TN cells, and after the endocytosis, the intracellular insulin is partly degraded in lysosomes and partly transported to the basal side. Insulin receptor, but not megalin, may be involved at least partly in insulin endocytosis in RLE-6TN cells.

Abstract
In this paper, we characterize the uptake mechanism of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled human immunoglobulin G (FITC-hIgG) in opossum kidney (OK) epithelial cells, which have been shown to express megalin and cubilin. Confocal immunofluorescence microscopy showed the punctate expression of the neonatal Fc receptor FcRn in the cytoplasm, but not on the cell surface membrane. Temperature- and energy-dependent uptake of FITC-hIgG was observed at pH 7.4 but not at pH 6.0, indicating that the internalization of FITC-hIgG might not be due to FcRn, which has a binding affinity for IgG under acidic conditions. Under physiological pH conditions, human and bovine serum γ-globulin decreased FITC-hIgG uptake in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, FITC-hIgG uptake was inhibited by various megalin and/or cubilin ligands including albumin, cytochrome c, transferrin and gentamicin. Endosomal acidification inhibitors (bafilomycin A(1) and chloroquine) significantly decreased the uptake of FITC-hIgG. Clathrin-dependent endocytosis inhibitors (phenylarsine oxide and chlorpromazine) decreased FITC-hIgG uptake. Potassium depletion and hypertonicity, conditions known to inhibit clathrin-dependent endocytosis, also decreased FITC-hIgG uptake. In contrast, caveolin-dependent endocytosis inhibitors (nystatin and methyl-β-cyclodextrin) did not decrease, but rather increased the uptake of FITC-hIgG. These observations suggest that the internalization of FITC-hIgG in OK cells might be, at least in part, due to megalin/cubilin-mediated, clathrin-dependent endocytosis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to reveal the expression and function of P-glycoprotein and multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRP), members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily of drug transporters, in cultured human Y79 retinoblastoma cells. ABC transporter mRNA expression was evaluated by conventional reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and real-time PCR analyses. Cellular accumulation of rhodamine 123 (P-glycoprotein substrate), calcein (MRP substrate), and doxorubicin (P-glycoprotein/MRP substrate) was analyzed by fluorometry. Conventional RT-PCR analysis showed the expression of multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1), MRP1, MRP2 and lung resistance-related protein (LRP) mRNAs. Real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that the expression levels of the MDR1 and MRP2 genes in Y79 cells were much lower than those in human intestinal cell line Caco-2, while the expression level of MRP1 was higher than that in Caco-2 cells. The accumulation of rhodamine 123 was not enhanced by verapamil or reversin 205, inhibitors of P-glycoprotein, indicating no function of P-glycoprotein in Y79 cells. The accumulation of calcein was significantly increased by various MRP inhibitors including probenecid, indicating that MRP functions in Y79 cells. The accumulation of doxorubicin was increased in the presence of metabolic inhibitors (10 mM 2-deoxyglucose and 5 mM sodium azide). However, most MRP inhibitors such as probenecid and indomethacin did not affect doxorubicin accumulation, while cyclosporin A and taclorimus significantly increased doxorubicin accumulation. These results suggest that MRP, but not P-glycoprotein, functions in Y79 cells, and that the efflux of doxorubicin from Y79 cells may be due to an ATP-dependent transporter, which has not been identified yet.

Abstract
The effects of ethanol extracts from Thai plants on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function and cell viability were examined using paclitaxel-resistant HepG2 (PR-HepG2) cells. KP018 from Ellipeiopsis cherrevensis and AT80 from Ancistrocladus tectorius increased both rhodamine 123, a typical P-gp substrate, and [(3)H]paclitaxel uptake in PR-HepG2 cells. However, some extracts such as MT80 from Microcos tomentosa increased rhodamine 123, but not [(3)H]paclitaxel, uptake, while MM80 from Micromelum minutum increased only [(3)H]paclitaxel uptake. Thus, the effects of extracts of Thai plants on rhodamine 123 uptake were not necessarily the same as those on [(3)H]paclitaxel uptake. Purified compounds such as bergapten did not affect the uptake of either substrate. KP018, AT80, and MM80 increased [(3)H]paclitaxel uptake and decreased the cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Among these extracts, KP018 showed the most potent cytotoxicity. The cytotoxic potency of KP018 on PR-HepG2 cells was similar to that on wild-type HepG2 cells, and was not potentiated by verapamil. At concentrations resulting in no cytotoxicity, AT80 and MM80 potentiated paclitaxel-induced cytotoxicity in PR-HepG2 cells. These results indicate that K018 may be a useful source to search for a new anticancer drug, while AT80 and MM80 may be useful as modulators of P-gp-mediated multidrug resistance in cancer cells.

Abstract
The role of intestinal efflux transporters such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) in intestinal absorption of methotrexate was examined in rats. In everted intestine, the mucosal efflux of methotrexate after application to serosal side was higher in jejunum than ileum, and the efflux in jejunum was suppressed by pantoprazole, a BCRP inhibitor, and probenecid, an MRP inhibitor, but not by verapamil, a P-gp inhibitor. The mucosal methotrexate efflux in ileum was suppressed by pantoprazole, but not by other inhibitors. On the other hand, the serosal efflux of methotrexate after application to mucosal side was greater in ileum than jejunum, and was suppressed by probenecid. In in-vivo rat studies, the intestinal absorption of methotrexate was significantly higher when methotrexate was administered to ileum than jejunum. Pantoprazole increased methotrexate absorption from jejunum and ileum. Probenecid increased the absorption of methotrexate from jejunum but decreased the absorption from ileum, as evaluated by peak plasma methotrexate levels. In conclusion, BCRP and MRPs are involved in the regional difference in absorption of methotrexate along the intestine, depending on their expression sites.

Abstract
Abstract
The site-specific function of multidrug-resistance-associated proteins (MRPs), especially MRP2 and MRP3, was examined in rat intestine and human colon adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cells. The MRP function was evaluated pharmacokinetically by measuring the efflux transport of 2,4-dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione (DNP-SG), an MRP substrate, after application of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB), a precursor of DNP-SG. The expression of rat and human MRP2 and MRP3 was analysed by Western blotting. The rat jejunum exhibited a higher apical MRP2 and a lower basolateral MRP3 expression than ileum. In accordance with the expression level, DNP-SG efflux to the mucosal surface was significantly greater in jejunum, while serosal efflux was greater in ileum. Site-specific bidirectional efflux of DNP-SG was also observed in in-vivo studies, in which portal and femoral plasma levels and biliary excretion rate of DNP-SG were significantly higher when CDNB was administered to ileum. Caco-2 cells also showed a bidirectional efflux of DNP-SG. Probenecid, an MRP inhibitor, significantly suppressed the mucosal efflux in jejunum and serosal efflux in ileum. In contrast, probenecid significantly suppressed both apical and basolateral efflux of DNP-SG in Caco-2 cells, though the inhibition was of small magnitude. In conclusion, the efflux of DNP-SG from enterocytes mediated by MRPs exhibited a significant regional difference in rat intestine, indicating possible variability in intestinal bioavailabilities of MRP substrates, depending on their absorption sites along the intestine.

Abstract
The effect of bilirubin treatment on intestinal transport of 2,4-dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione (DNP-SG), a substrate of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), after application of 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB), a precursor of DNP-SG, was examined in rat intestine by the in-vitro everted sac, in-situ re-circulating perfusion, and in-situ loop methods. CDNB was taken up rapidly by jejunum and ileum, and the consequent intestinal efflux of DNP-SG, a glutathione conjugated metabolite of CDNB, was significantly higher in jejunum than in ileum in the in-situ and in-vitro studies. Co-administration of bilirubin (100 μM), as well as probenecid (1 mM) or ciclosporin (100 μM), with CDNB decreased the DNP-SG efflux in jejunum significantly, but not in ileum. The suppression of DNP-SG efflux in jejunum was also observed after intravenous administration of bilirubin (85.5 μmol kg−1), in which plasma bilirubin glucuronide levels were approximately 100 μM. In the in-vitro metabolism study, bilirubin exerted no significant effect on CDNB metabolism in the intestinal S9 fraction (supernatant of 9000 g). These results suggested that the diseased states accompanied with hyperbilirubinaemia might have increased the intestinal absorption, or oral bioavailability, of MRP2 substrates by suppressing MRP2 function at the proximal intestinal region.

Abstract
In order to improve the dissolution and oral absorption properties of poorly water soluble drugs such as omeprazole, albendazole and danazol, various dispersing agents were added to prepare nanopowder formulations using an ULTRA APEX MILL, which is a wet-mill instrument, and their physicochemical properties were evaluated. Using Pluronic F-108 or F-68 as dispersing agents, slurries containing drug particles having nanometer size were obtained for all model drugs tested. Omeprazole, a heat labile drug, was not degraded by wet-milling and the omeprazole nanoparticles in a milled slurry did not aggregate for 24 h after wet-milling. After lyophilization of these milled slurries containing drug nanoparticles, fine solid white nanopowders were obtained. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) suggested that the model drugs were milled into nanometer size. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) patterns and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) curves confirmed that all milled drug nanopowders were crystalline, although milling of albendazole nanopowder transformed it to another crystal form. Wet-milling using an ULTRA APEX MILL offers a highly effective approach to produce stable drug nanopowders and is a very useful tool for bioavailability enhancement of poorly water soluble and heat labile drugs.

Abstract
FITC-albumin uptake by cultured alveolar type II epithelial cells, RLE-6TN, is mediated by high- and low-affinity transport systems. In this study, characteristics of the low-affinity transport system were evaluated. The uptake of FITC-albumin was time and temperature dependent and was inhibited by metabolic inhibitors and bafilomycin A1. Confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis showed punctate localization of the fluorescence in the cells, which was partly localized in lysosomes. FITC-albumin taken up by the cells gradually degraded over time, as shown by fluoroimage analyzer after SDS-PAGE. The uptake of FITC-albumin by RLE-6TN cells was not inhibited by caveolae-mediated endocytosis inhibitors such as nystatin, but was inhibited by clathrin-mediated endocytosis inhibitors such as phenylarsine oxide. The uptake was also inhibited by potassium depletion and hypertonicity, conditions known to inhibit clathrin-mediated endocytosis. In addition, macropinocytosis inhibitors such as 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride inhibited the uptake. These results indicate that the low-affinity transport of FITC-albumin in RLE-6TN cells is at least in part mediated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, but not by caveolae-mediated endocytosis. Possible involvement of macropinocytosis was also suggested.

Abstract
In this study erythrocyte transport of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) was investigated by employing inside-out membrane vesicles prepared from rat erythrocytes. The uptake of [3H]PGE1 in the presence of ATP was significantly higher than that of AMP, suggesting the involvement of an ATP-dependent efflux system in PGE1 transport across the erythrocyte membrane. Coincubation of glutathione with ATP further stimulated the uptake of [3H]PGE1. The uptake of [3H]PGE1 in the presence of ATP and glutathione was temperature-sensitive, and various eicosanoids including PGE2 and PGF2alpha decreased the uptake. Multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 4 substrates/inhibitors including methotrexate, indomethacin, taurocholic acid and indocyanine green significantly inhibited [3H]PGE1 uptake. Western blot analysis revealed that Mrp4 is expressed in rat erythrocyte membrane. These results suggest that the release of PGE1 from the erythrocyte into the blood circulation may be mediated by ATP-dependent efflux pump(s) such as Mrp4.

Abstract
PURPOSE To elucidate and compare the activity and mechanism of albumin uptake in primary cultured alveolar type II and type I-like epithelial cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Type II epithelial cells isolated from rat lungs were cultured for 2 days at 5 x 10(6) cells/35-mm dish or for 6 days at 2 x 10(6) cells/35-mm dish. The mRNA expression of marker genes and FITC-albumin uptake were examined. RESULTS The cells cultured for 2 days exhibited cuboidal type II epithelial morphology with lamellar bodies inside the cells, while the cells cultured for 6 days exhibited squamous type I epithelial morphology. These morphological characteristics were consistent with the changes in mRNA expression pattern of marker genes. FITC-albumin uptake in both cells was temperature-dependent and was inhibited by metabolic inhibitors and bafilomycin A1. The rate of uptake was much higher in type II cells than type I-like cells. In both cells, FITC-albumin uptake was inhibited by clathrin mediated-endocytosis inhibitors, but not by caveolae mediated-endocytosis inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that albumin in alveolar lining fluid is internalized into type II and type I epithelial cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and the rate of albumin uptake is higher in type II cells than type I cells.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of extracts and flavone derivatives from the rhizome of Kaempferia parviflora on multidrug resistance associated-proteins (MRP)-mediated transport in A549 cells were examined. The cells employed express MRP1 and MRP2, but not P-glycoprotein. The cellular accumulation of calcein, an MRP substrate, was significantly increased by various MRP inhibitors without being affected by verapamil, a typical P-glycoprotein inhibitor. Ethanol and aqueous extracts from K. parviflora rhizome increased the accumulation of calcein and doxorubicin in A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory potency of the ethanol extract for MRP function was greater than that of the aqueous extract. Among six flavone derivatives isolated from K. parviflora rhizome, 5,7-dimethoxyflavone exhibited a maximal stimulatory effect on the accumulation of doxorubicin in A549 cells. The accumulation of doxorubicin was increased by four flavone derivatives without 5-hydroxy group, but not by the other two flavone derivatives with 5-hydroxy group. In addition, 5,7-dimethoxyflavone and 3,5,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone decreased resistance to doxorubicin in A549 cells. These findings indicate that extracts and flavone derivatives from the rhizome of K. parviflora suppress MRP function, and therefore may be useful as modulators of multidrug resistance in cancer cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of extracts and flavone derivatives from the rhizome of Kaempferia parviflora on P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated transport in LLC-GA5-COL150, a transfectant cell line of a porcine kidney epithelial cell line LLC-PK1 with human MDR1 cDNA. Ethanol extract obtained from Kaempferia parviflora rhizome significantly increased the accumulation of rhodamine 123 and daunorubicin, P-gp substrates, in LLC-GA5-COL150 cells, but not in LLC-PK1 cells. The aqueous extract also increased the accumulation in LLC-GA5-COL150 cells with lower potency than the ethanol extract. The effects of flavone derivatives isolated from the rhizome of Kaempferia parviflora on P-gp function were examined. Among six flavones tested, 3,5,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone most potently increased the accumulation of rhodamine 123 and daunorubicin in LLC-GA5-COL150 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, 5,7-dimethoxyflavone to lesser degree increased rhodamine 123 accumulation in LLC-GA5-COL150 cells. In contrast, the other four flavone derivatives had no significant effect on the accumulation of rhodamine 123 in LLC-GA5-COL150 cells in a concentration range tested. These results indicate that extracts and flavone derivatives from the rhizome of Kaempferia parviflora can inhibit P-gp function, which may be useful for overcoming P-gp-mediated multidrug resistance and improving the oral bioavailability of anticancer agents.

Abstract
Transport of prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) was investigated in rat renal brush-border membrane vesicles. The uptake of [(3)H]PGE(1) was sensitive to osmosis and temperature. This uptake was saturable and mediated by high-affinity (K(m)=2.1 microM)/low-capacity (V(max)=17.4 pmol/mg protein/30 sec) and low-affinity (K(m)=526.5 microM)/high-capacity (V(max)=1,032.5 pmol/mg protein/30 sec) transport systems. [(3)H]PGE(1) uptake was Na(+)-independent and inhibited by various eicosanoids including PGE(2) and PGF(2alpha). Bromcresol green and sulfobromophthalein, potent inhibitors of prostaglandin transporter (PGT), significantly decreased [(3)H]PGE(1) uptake. Uptake was also inhibited by indomethacin and probenecid, which reportedly have little effect on PGT. Benzylpenicillin and taurocholate decreased the uptake of [(3)H]PGE(1). Like p-[(14)C]aminohippurate (PAH) uptake by vesicles, the uptake of [(3)H]PGE(1) was stimulated by an inside-positive membrane potential, created by applying an inward K(+) gradient and valinomycin. However, the uptake of [(3)H]PGE(1) was not inhibited by PAH, suggesting that PAH and PGE(1) are transported by separate transport systems. [(3)H]PGE(1) uptake was not stimulated by outwardly directed gradients of Cl(-) nor unlabeled PGE(1), indicating that an anion exchanger may not be involved in PGE(1) transport. These findings suggest that the transport of PGE(1) in rat renal brush-border membrane is mediated by specific transport system(s), at least in part, by a potential-sensitive transport system.

Abstract
The function of multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2) in the intestine and liver, as well as intestinal Mrp2 expression, was analyzed in CCl(4)-induced acute hepatic failure rats with hyperbilirubinemia. The plasma level of bilirubin glucuronides, endogenous Mrp2-substrates, was 26 microM at 24 h after CCl(4) treatment. Mrp2 protein levels in jejunum decreased to 41% of control level. Mrp2-mediated efflux of 2,4-dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione (DNP-GSH), an Mrp2-substrate, in jejunum decreased to 31% of control in vitro, and was almost completely suppressed in vivo to the same level as that in the presence of probenecid, an Mrp2-inhibitor. Biliary excretion of DNP-GSH was suppressed to the same level as that inhibited by intravenous probenecid. The suppression of Mrp2 and the increased plasma bilirubin glucuronides recovered within 24 h thereafter. These results suggest that hyperbilirubinemia in disease states may be related to the systemic suppression of Mrp2 function.

Abstract
We recently reported that the decrease in plasma valproic acid (VPA) level by carbapenem antibiotics (CPs) may partly be due to the increased erythrocyte distribution of VPA. In order to clarify the mechanisms underlying altered VPA distribution in erythrocytes, we examined the role of multidrug resistance-associated proteins (Mrps). The uptake of 2,4-dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione (DNP-SG), a substrate of Mrps, by inside-out vesicles (IOVs) prepared from rat erythrocytes was an ATP-dependent, active process. DNP-SG uptake was mediated by high- and low-affinity transport systems, and was inhibited by various Mrp inhibitors such as probenecid and indomethacin. Glutathione stimulated only the high-affinity transport system. VPA inhibited the low-affinity transport of DNP-SG, while panipenem, a CP, inhibited both high- and low-affinity transport. ATP-dependent, Mrp-mediated transport of methotrexate, another Mrp substrate, in IOVs was also observed, and VPA and various CPs inhibited the transport. The uptake of [(3)H]VPA was examined, and found to be ATP-dependent. ATP-dependent uptake of [(3)H]VPA was inhibited by Mrp inhibitors and panipenem, while the inhibition was not observed in the absence of ATP. These results indicate that VPA and CPs interact with Mrp-mediated transport in erythrocyte membranes, and VPA itself is transported by Mrps, which is inhibited by panipenem. Thus, the increased erythrocyte distribution of VPA by CPs observed under in vivo conditions may partly be explained by their interaction with Mrps in erythrocyte membranes.
