Caco-2 Cell Lines in Drug Discovery- an Updated Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cell lines are the invitro models used for the drug permeability studies in the preclinical and clinical phases of the drug discovery. Cell line models are simple and quick to use and avoids the usage of animal models for pharmacological and toxicological studies and hence cost effective, produce reliable and reproducible results for understanding and evaluating the permeability characteristics of the potential lead drug candidates. Different cell line models used in the drug permeability studies, their characteristics has been summarized emphasizing on CACO-2. By virtue of its merits, CACO-2 cell line development, transport experiments, automated assays, optimization of experimental conditions and mechanistic uses of CACO-2 cell lines dealt comprehensively in the following context.

متن کاملEndogenous gene and protein expression of drug-transporting proteins in cell lines routinely used in drug discovery programs.
The aim of this study was to investigate the gene and protein expression profiles of important drug-transporting proteins in human cell lines commonly used for studies of drug transport mechanisms. Human cell lines used to transiently or stably express single transporters [HeLa, human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293] and leukemia cell lines used to study drug resistance by ATP-binding cassette trans...
متن کاملIn-vitro cellular uptake and transport study of 9-nitrocamptothecin PLGA nanoparticles across Caco-2 cell monolayer model
The uptake and transport of 9-nitrocamptothecin (9-NC), a potent anticancer agent, across Caco-2 cell monolayers was studied as a free and PLGA nanoparticle loaded drug. Different sizes (110 to 950 nm) of 9-nitrocamptothecin nanoparticles using poly (lactic-glycolic acid) were prepared by via the nanoprecipitation method. The transport of nanoparticles across the Caco-2 cell monolayer as a func...

متن کاملHT-29 and Caco-2 Reporter Cell Lines for Functional Studies of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Activation
The NF-κB is a transcription factor which plays a key role in regulating biological processes. In response to signals, NF-κB activation occurs via phosphorylation of its inhibitor, which dissociates from the NF-κB dimer allowing the translocation to the nucleus, inducing gene expression. NF-κB activation has direct screening applications for drug discovery for several therapeutic indications. T...
