Drug transporters in the human blood-placental barrier.
Studies on the increasing number of transporters found in the placental barrier are gaining momentum, because of their tissue-specific expression, significance in physiology and disease, and the possible utilization of the emerging knowledge in pharmacology. In the placenta, both syncytiotrophoblast and fetal capillary endothelium express transporters. Fetal exposure is determined by the net ef...
متن کاملProfiling Solute Carrier Transporters in the Human Blood-Brain Barrier
The neuroprotective function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents a major challenge for drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS). Critical to this function, BBB membrane transporters include the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which limit drug penetration across the BBB, and the less-well-studied solute carrier (SLC) transporters. In this work, expression profiling of 359...
متن کاملTransporters in the Blood-Brain Barrier
The mammalian brain restricts the entrance of ions and solutes circulating in the bloodstream by two cellular barriers, namely, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and bloodcerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier (Brightman et al., 1970; Ballabh, 2004). The BBB is built up by a monolayer of endothelial cells (ECs) lining the brain capillaries that restricts the movement of small polar molecules and macromo...
متن کاملInterplay of drug metabolizing CYP450 enzymes and ABC transporters in the blood-brain barrier.
The recent identification of drug-metabolizing enzymes cytochrome P450 (CYP) in the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) raises the question of whether these enzymes act in concert with ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters to limit the brain distributions of drugs. We recently demonstrated several CYP genes in freshly isolated human brain microvessels; the main isoforms expressed were CYP1B1 and ...
متن کاملBarrier Transporters in Human Gliomas and the Blood-Tumor ABCC Drug Efflux Pumps and Organic Anion Uptake
Delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain and its neoplasms depends on the presence of membrane transport proteins in the blood-brain barrier and in the target cells. The cellular and subcellular localization of these membrane transporters determines the drug accessibility to the brain and its tumors. We therefore analyzed the expression and localization of six members of the multidrug resist...
