  　View Summary

  Equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs) 1 and 2 reportedly accept fluorouracil as a substrate. Here, we evaluated ENT1/2 expression at the messenger RNA (mRNA), protein, and functional levels in a panel of four triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines, BT-549, Hs578T, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-435, and we examined the relationship of the observed profiles to fluorouracil sensitivity. Nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR) at 0.1 μM inhibits only ENT1, while dipyridamole at 10 μM or NBMPR at 100 μM inhibits both ENT1 and ENT2. We found that the uptake of [ H]uridine, a typical substrate of ENT1 and ENT2, was decreased to approximately 40% by 0.1 μM NBMPR. At 100 μM, NBMPR almost completely blocked the saturable uptake of [ H]uridine, but this does not imply a functional role of ENT2, because 10 μM dipyridamole showed similar inhibition to 0.1 μM NBMPR. Expression of ENT1 mRNA was almost 1 order of magnitude higher than that of ENT2 in all TNBC cell lines. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) LC-MS/MS-based targeted protein quantification showed that ENT1 protein levels were in the range of 9.3–30 fmol/μg protein in plasma membrane fraction of TNBC cell lines, whereas ENT2 protein was below the detection limit. [ H]Fluorouracil uptake was insensitive to 0.1 μM NBMPR and 10 μM dipyridamole, suggesting a negligible contribution of ENT1 and ENT2 to fluorouracil uptake. The levels of ENT1 mRNA, ENT1 protein, ENT2 mRNA, and ENT1-mediated [ H]uridine uptake in the four TNBC cell lines showed no correlation with fluorouracil sensitivity. These results indicate that neither ENT1 nor ENT2 contributes significantly to the fluorouracil sensitivity of TNBC cell lines. 3 3 3 3

• Development of a pharmacokinetic model of transplacental transfer of metformin to predict in vivo fetal exposure

  　View Summary

  Copyright © 2020 The Author(s). Two types of systems are used in ex vivo human placental perfusion studies to predict fetal drug exposures, that is, closed systems with recirculation of the maternal and fetal buffer and open systems using a single-pass mode without recirculation. The in vivo fetal/maternal (F:M) ratio of metformin, a cationic drug that crosses the placenta, is consistent with that reported in an open system ex vivo but not with that in a closed system. In the present study, we aimed to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) model of transplacental transfer of metformin to predict in vivo fetal exposure to metformin and to resolve the apparent inconsistency between open and closed ex vivo systems. The developed model shows that the difference between open and closed systems is due to the difference in the time required to achieve the steady state. The model-predicted F:M ratio (approx. 0.88) is consistent with reported in vivo values [mean (95% confidence interval): 1.10 (0.69–1.51)]. The model incorporates bidirectional transport via organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) at the basal plasma membrane, and simulations indicate that the use of trimethoprim (an OCT3 inhibitor) to prevent microbial growth in the placenta ex vivo has a negligible effect on the overall maternal-to-fetal and fetal-to-maternal clearances. The model could successfully predict in vivo fetal exposure using ex vivo human placental perfusion data from both closed and open systems. This transplacental PK modeling approach is expected to be useful for evaluating human fetal exposures to other poorly permeable compounds, besides metformin. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT We developed a pharmacokinetic model of transplacental transfer of metformin, used to treat gestational diabetes mellitus, in order to predict in vivo fetal exposure and resolve the discrepancy between reported findings in open and closed ex vivo perfusion systems. The discrepancy is due to a difference in the time required to reach the steady state. The model can predict in vivo fetal exposure using data from both closed and open systems.

• Substrate recognition of renally eliminated angiotensin II receptor blockers by organic anion transporter 4

  　View Summary

  © 2020 The Japanese Society for the Study of Xenobiotics Organic anion transporter (OAT) 4, which is localized at the apical membrane of human renal proximal tubules, transports olmesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Many ARBs, including olmesartan, undergo partial tubular secretion as active forms, and inhibit OAT4-mediated uptake activity. Here, we examined the substrate recognition of various ARBs by OAT4 in order to assess whether OAT4 might be involved in the renal handling of ARBs. Concentration-dependent OAT4-mediated uptake of azilsartan, candesartan, carboxylosartan, losartan, and valsartan was observed with Km values of 6.6, 31, 7.2, 13, and 1.7 μM, respectively, in the absence of extracellular Cl−. In the presence of extracellular Cl−, OAT4-mediated uptake of dianionic ARBs (azilsartan, candesartan, carboxylosartan, and valsartan) was lower and reached a steady state faster than in the absence of extracellular Cl−. Thus, OAT4 is proposed to use extracellular Cl− as a counterpart for anion efflux. Our results suggest that OAT4 may play a role in the excretion of azilsartan, candesartan, carboxylosartan, and valsartan, as well as olmesartan. In contrast, OAT4-mediated uptake of losartan, a monoanionic ARB, was little affected by extracellular Cl−, suggesting that only OAT4-mediated dianion transport is Cl−-sensitive.

• Quantification of ENT1 and ENT2 Proteins at the Placental Barrier and Contribution of These Transporters to Ribavirin Uptake

  　View Summary

  © 2019 The Authors The aims of this study are to quantify the protein levels of nucleoside transporters in placental microvillous membranes (MVMs) and to clarify the contributions of these transporters to ribavirin uptake at the placental barrier. Placental MVMs of human and rat expressed equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT) 1 protein, whereas the expression of ENT2 protein was obscure. Maternal-to-fetal transfer of [3H]ribavirin in rats was much higher than that of [14C]sucrose. The uptake of [3H]ribavirin by rat placental trophoblast TR-TBT 18 d-1 cells, which functionally express both ENT1 and ENT2 proteins, was saturable, and was significantly inhibited by 0.1 μM nitrobenzylthioinosine, which selectively abolishes ENT1-mediated uptake. Dipyridamole at 10 μM is capable of inhibiting ENT2 as well as ENT1, but a degree of inhibition by 10 μM dipyridamole on [3H]ribavirin uptake was not much different from that by 0.1 μM nitrobenzylthioinosine (ENT1-specific inhibitor). Therefore, ENT2 may contribute little to [3H]ribavirin uptake by these cells. Rat ENT1 cRNA-injected oocytes showed increased [3H]ribavirin uptake compared with water-injected oocytes, while rat ENT2 cRNA-injected oocytes did not. In conclusion, ENT1 protein expressed in placental MVMs appears to play a predominant role in the uptake of ribavirin.
