Functional analysis of dog multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2) in comparison with rat Mrp2.

چکیده
We investigated whether the species difference in the biliary excretion activity of some Mrp2 substrates was attributable to the intrinsic transport potential or the expression level of Mrp2, especially in rat and dog. Dog Mrp2 cDNA was isolated from beagle dog liver, and a vesicle transport study was performed using recombinant rat and dog Mrp2 expressed in insect Sf9 cells. The ATP-dependent transport of 17beta-estradiol 17-(beta-D-glucuronide) ([3H]E(2)17betaG) and leukotriene C4 ([3H]LTC4), normalized by the absolute protein expression level, was similar in both Mrp2s. The Mrp2 protein expression in dog liver was only 10% of that in rat liver and was comparable with the reported difference in the biliary excretion clearance of temocaprilat as Mrp2 substrate. In contrast to LTC4, unique transport kinetics for E(2)17betaG were evident in dog Mrp2. In addition to the high-affinity site with a K(m) value of 3.25 +/- 0.10 microM, which is similar to that in rat Mrp2 (4.81 +/- 1.21 microM), dog Mrp2 has an additional low-affinity site (>>75 microM), which makes a major contribution to the transport of E(2)17betaG (65% of the total transport capacity at tracer concentration). In summary, the difference in the biliary excretion activity of Mrp2 substrates between rat and dog depends on the Mrp2 protein expression level rather than the intrinsic transport activity of the transporter molecules. The unique transport properties of glucuronide conjugates by dog Mrp2 may lead to the species difference involving the drug-drug interaction or drug-induced hyperbilirubinemia on the bile canalicular membrane.

Functional analysis of mouse and monkey multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2).
We investigated the intrinsic transport activity of mouse and monkey Mrp2 and compared it with that of rat and dog Mrp2 reported previously. Mrp2 cDNAs were isolated from BALB/c and Macaca fascicularis liver, respectively, and vesicle transport studies were performed using recombinant Mrp2s expressed in insect Sf9 cells. ATP-dependent transport of [3H]leukotriene C4 (LTC4), [3H]17beta-estradiol...
متن کاملAbsolute difference of hepatobiliary transporter multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP2/Mrp2) in liver tissues and isolated hepatocytes from rat, dog, monkey, and human.
We previously reported that hepatobiliary transporter multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP2/Mrp2) is considered to be the major cause of the interspecies differences detected by efflux of fluorescent substrates in isolated hepatocytes. In the present study, the interspecies differences of MRP2/Mrp2 were first evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot...
متن کاملDexamethasone- and osmolarity-dependent expression of the multidrug-resistance protein 2 in cultured rat hepatocytes.
Expression of the conjugate export pump multidrug-resistance protein 2 (MRP2) in liver is regulated by endotoxin and anti-tumour agents. This paper reports on the effects of dexamethasone and osmolarity on MRP2 expression. MRP2 expression was studied at the protein, mRNA, immunocytochemical and functional levels in cultured rat hepatocytes. Protein and mRNA expression of MRP2 in rat hepatocytes...
متن کاملThe role of protein synthesis and degradation in the post-transcriptional regulation of rat multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2, Abcc2).
Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2, Abcc2), an organic anion transporter present in the apical membrane of hepatocytes, renal epithelial cells, and enterocytes, is postulated to undergo post-transcriptional regulation. We hypothesized that Mrp2 protein undergoes altered rates of protein synthesis or degradation consistent with different Mrp2 protein expression. We analyzed Mrp2 syn...
