Regulation of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP2) expression in response to dexamethasone (DEX) was analyzed using mainly primary rat hepatocytes. Enhanced levels of MRP2 mRNAs associated with increased amounts of a 190 kDa MRP2 were found in cultured DEX-treated hepatocytes; similarly, administration of DEX to rats (100 mg/kg, i.p.) led to a marked increase of hepatic amounts of MRP2 mRNAs. Maximal induction of MRP2 expression in DEX-treated primary hepatocytes was reached with 10(-5) M DEX, a concentration higher than that (10(-7) M) required for maximal up-regulation of tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT), a typical glucocorticoid receptor-regulated enzyme. In addition, the anti-glucocorticoid compound RU486 failed to inhibit MRP2 induction caused by DEX whereas it fully blocked that of TAT. These findings therefore demonstrate that DEX is a potent inducer of MRP2 expression in rat hepatocytes through a mechanism that seems not to involve the classical glucocorticoid receptor pathway. 相似文献

In the present study MRP2/ABCC2 and BSEP/ABCB11 expression were investigated in sandwich cultured (SC) human and rat hepatocytes exposed to the proinflammatory cytokines. The investigation was also done in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated rats. In SC human hepatocytes, both absolute protein and mRNA levels of MRP2/ABCC2 were significantly down-regulated by TNF-α, IL-6, or IL-1β. In contrast to mRNA decrease, which was observed for BSEP/ABCB11, the protein amount was significantly increased by IL-6 or IL-1β. A discrepancy between the change in BSEP/ABCB11 mRNA and protein levels was encountered in SC human hepatocytes treated with proinflammatory cytokines. In SC rat hepatocytes, Mrp2/Abcc2 mRNA was down-regulated by TNF-α and IL-6, whereas the protein level was decreased by all three cytokines. Down-regulations of both Bsep/Abcb11 mRNA and protein levels were found in SC rat hepatocytes exposed to TNF-α or IL-1β. Administration of LPS triggered the release of the proinflammatory cytokines and caused the decrease of Mrp2/Abcc2 and Bsep/Abcb11 protein in liver at 24 h post-treatment; however, the Mrp2 and Bsep protein levels rebounded at 48 h post-LPS treatment. In total, our results indicate that proinflammatory cytokines regulate the expression of MRP2/Mrp2 and BSEP/Bsep and for the first time demonstrate the differential effects on BSEP/Bsep expression between SC human and rat hepatocytes. Furthermore, the agreement between transporter regulation in vitro in SC rat hepatocytes and in vivo in LPS-treated rats during the acute response phase demonstrates the utility of in vitro SC hepatocyte models for predicting in vivo effects. 相似文献

Multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters have been termed the Phase III detoxification system because they not only export endogenous metabolites but provide protection from xenobiotic insult by actively secreting foreign compounds and their metabolites from tissues. However, MDR overexpression in tumors can lead to drug resistance, a major obstacle in the treatment of many cancers, including lung cancer. Isothiocyanates from cruciferous vegetables, such as sulforaphane (SF) and erucin (ER), are known to enhance the expression of Phase II detoxification enzymes. Here we evaluated the ability of SF and ER to modulate MDR mRNA and protein expressions, as well as transporter activity. The expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) and multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) in liver (HepG2), colon (Caco-2) and lung (A549) cancer cells treated with ER or SF was analyzed by Western blotting. Neither SF nor ER affected P-gp expression in any of the cell lines tested. Both SF and ER increased the protein levels of MRP1 and MRP2 in HepG2 cells and of MRP2 in Caco-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In A549 lung cancer cells, SF increased MRP1 and MRP2 mRNA and protein levels; ER caused a similar yet smaller increase in MRP1 and MRP2 mRNA. In addition, SF and ER increased MRP1-dependent efflux of 5-carboxyfluorescein diacetate in A549 cells, although again the effect of SF was substantially greater than that of ER. The implication of these findings is that dietary components that modulate detoxification systems should be studied carefully before being recommended for use during chemotherapy, as these compounds may have additional influences on the disposition of chemotherapeutic drugs. 相似文献

The effect of sodium butyrate on tyrosine aminotransferase induction in primary cultures of normal adult rat hepatocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Treatment of primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes with 5 mM butyrate inhibited the spontaneous decrease in basal activity and mRNA levels of tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) that occurred during culture (Staecker et al., submitted). We report here that butyrate treatment of primary cultures of rat hepatocytes initially inhibited the induction of TAT. This inhibition was followed by a period of accelerated TAT induction. TAT induction in butyrate-treated primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes occurred only after metabolism of butyrate by the cultured hepatocytes. The accelerated induction of TAT in hepatocyte cultures treated with sodium butyrate was reflected by increased TAT activity and mRNA levels. Cultured hepatocytes rapidly metabolized butyrate, but the addition of more butyrate into cultures after its initial metabolism resulted in a rapid reduction in TAT activity. These findings indicate that butyrate treatment can affect the expression of TAT in primary hepatocyte cultures in both a positive (increased basal TAT expression) and a negative (inhibition of the induced expression of TAT) manner. 相似文献

The frequent development of multidrug resistance (MDR) hampers the efficacy of available anticancer drugs in treating cervical cancer. In this study, we aimed to use formononetin (7-hydroxy-4′-methoxyisoflavone), a potential herbal isoflavone, to intensify the chemosensitivity of human cervical cancer HeLa cells to epirubicin, an anticancer drug. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were correlated with MDR modulation mechanisms, including the transporter inhibition and apoptosis induction. Our results revealed that formononetin significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of epirubicin. Co-incubation of epirubicin with formononetin increased the ROS levels, including hydrogen peroxide and superoxide free radicals. Epirubicin alone markedly increased the mRNA expression of MDR1, MDR-associated protein (MRP) 1, and MRP2. In contrast, formononetin alone or combined treatment decreased the mRNA expression of MRP1 and MRP2. This result indicates that efflux transporter-mediated epirubicin resistance is inhibited at different degrees by the addition of formononetin. This isoflavone significantly intensified epirubicin uptake into HeLa cells. Apoptosis was induced by formononetin and/or epirubicin, as signified by nuclear DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation, increased sub-G1 and G2/M phases. The cotreatment triggered the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway indicated by increased Bax-to-Bcl-2 expression ratio, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and significant activation of caspase-9 and -3. In addition, extrinsic/caspases-8 apoptotic pathway was also induced by the cotreatment. N-acetyl cysteine abrogated these events induced by formononetin, supporting the involvement of ROS in the MDR reversal mechanism. This study pioneered in demonstrating that formononetin may potentiate the cytotoxicity of epirubicin in HeLa cells through the ROS-mediated MRP inhibition and concurrent activation of the mitochondrial and death receptor pathways of apoptosis. Hence, the circumvention of pump and non-pump resistance using formononetin and epirubicin may pave the way for a powerful chemotherapeutic regimen for treating human cervical cancer. 相似文献

Using the normal adult rat hepatocytes, plated on rat tail collagen-coated dishes and fed a chemically defined medium, we demonstrate here that ciprofibrate at 0.1 mM concentration, increases significantly the mRNA levels of fatty acyl-CoA oxidase, enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase bifunctional protein, and thiolase (the three enzymes of the β-oxidation system), and causes peroxisome proliferation. Increase in mRNA levels of these genes was evident within 1 h and was maximal 24 h after the addition of ciprofibrate. In hepatocytes cultured in the absence of ciprofibrate, the basal levels of these enzymes were low and further declined with time. Concomitant treatment of hepatocytes with cycloheximide did not inhibit or superinduce the mRNA levels, indicating that this induction may represent a primary (direct) effect of this compound on the expression of these genes and does not apparently involve short-lived repressor protein(s). 相似文献

The drug efflux pump MRP2: regulation of expression in physiopathological situations and by endogenous and exogenous compounds 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2) is an ATP-binding cassette transporter involved in biliary, renal, and
intestinal secretion of numerous organic anions, including endogenous compounds such as bilirubin and exogenous compounds
such as drugs and toxic chemicals. Its expression can be modulated in various physiopathological situations, notably being
markedly decreased during liver cholestasis and upregulated in some cancerous tissues. In addition, MRP2 levels are altered
in hepatocytes in response to hormones such as glucocorticoids and to structurally unrelated drugs such as rifampicin, phenobarbital,
ritonavir, and cisplatin. The chemical carcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene and chemopreventive agents such as oltipraz and sulforaphane
also markedly increased MRP2 expression in liver parenchymal cells. Interestingly, most of the chemical inducers of MRP2 act
on drug-metabolizing enzymes, indicating a coordinated regulation of these detoxifying proteins; cellular mechanisms involved
are, at least partly, common and may be related to nuclear hormone receptors such as the pregnane X receptor. Owing to the
major role played by MRP2 in elimination of drugs and endogenous compounds, modulation of its expression may lead to adverse
effects or to changes in drug pharmacokinetics.

Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to investigate the effects of prototypical drug-metabolizing enzyme inducers rifampicin (Rif), dexamethasone (Dex), and omeprazole (Ome) on mRNA expression levels of the housekeeping genes beta-actin (ACTB), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), beta-glucuronidase (GUSB), hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1), peptidylprolylisomerase A (PPIA), TATA box binding protein (TBP), and transferrin receptor (TFRC) in primary cultures of cryopreserved human and rat hepatocytes. The mRNA levels of ACTB, GAPDH, GUSB, PPIA, TBP, and TFRC relative to HPRT1 in human hepatocytes were constant at all concentrations of inducers. However, the mRNA level of GAPDH relative to HPRT1 in rat hepatocytes was markedly increased by Rif. The mRNA levels of GAPDH, GUSB, PPIA, TBP, and TFRC relative to HPRT1 in rat hepatocytes were significantly increased by Dex. ACTB and HPRT1 are suitable internal controls for evaluating mRNA expression levels in primary cultures of human and rat hepatocytes after Rif, Dex, or Ome exposure. 相似文献

Hepatocytes exhibit a non-specific immune response by expressing the enzyme inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS, NOS2) through the stimulation of a mixture of cytokines, or a single cytokine such as interleukin-1beta. We examined the age-dependent inducibility of the iNOS gene expression and the capacity of NO production in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in primary cultured rat hepatocytes that were isolated from the livers of rats, 3 (young) and 24 (aging) months of age. NO production (NO2-), indicating iNOS activity, was much higher in the young rat hepatocytes following stimulation with LPS or IL-1beta. Likewise, in the young hepatocytes, Western blot analyses showed much higher protein levels in the iNOS expression; it was also a little higher in mRNA levels that were analyzed by RT-PCR. Furthermore, after stimulation with IL-1beta, the levels of transactivation of nuclear factor-KB (NF-kappaB) that were involved in the induction of the iNOS gene were reduced without a significant difference in the aged cells. Therefore, the decrease of NO formation in the aged hepatocytes was due to the belated and incomplete inducibility of the iNOS protein expression, together with a minor contribution of the reduced-transactivation of NF-kappaB. These results suggest that the age-related decline of the iNOS gene expression in primary rat hepatocytes may be associated with the increased incidence of many infective diseases with aging. 相似文献

The effects of several protein kinase activators and protein phosphatase inhibitors on the phenobarbital (PB)-induced gene expression of CYP2B1 and CYP2B2 (CYP2B1/2B2) in adult rat hepatocytes were investigated. Insulin, epidermal growth factor, interleukin 6, cAMP, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, tumor necrosis factor alpha, vanadate, and okadaic acid were found to suppress the induction of CYP2B1/2B2 at mRNA and protein levels in hepatocytes. cAMP and vanadate completely suppressed the induction of CYP2B1/2B2 gene expression in both rat hepatocytes and liver. The addition of genistein to vanadate-treated hepatocytes partially recovered the induction of CYP2B1/2B1 gene expression by PB. These results of the present study demonstrate that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation steps are crucial for the induction of CYP2B1/2B2 gene expression by PB. 相似文献
