Role of glycosylation in trafficking of Mrp2 in sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes.

چکیده
The multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) family plays a major role in the hepatic excretion of organic anions. The expression, localization, and function of Mrp2 (Abcc2), a canalicular multispecific organic anion transport protein, were studied in sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes. The amount of Mrp2 protein remained constant in sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes over 4 days in culture, but the molecular mass increased approximately 10 kDa from 190 to 200 kDa. Mrp2 was internalized initially after hepatocyte isolation and was gradually sorted to the canalicular membrane. Disposition of 5-(6)-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (CDF), an Mrp2 substrate, confirmed the changes in Mrp2 localization. CDF was localized predominantly inside hepatocytes at day 0 and gradually localized to the canalicular domain over time in culture. By day 4 in culture, CDF was localized exclusively in the canalicular networks. Tunicamycin, an inhibitor of glycosylation, decreased the molecular mass and simultaneously impaired the trafficking of Mrp2 to the canalicular membrane. Treatment of lysates from both day 0 (Mrp2, 190 kDa) and day 4 (Mrp2, 200 kDa) sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes with peptide N-glycosidase F, a deglycosylation agent, resulted in a band of 180 kDa, suggesting that Mrp2 from both day 0 and day 4 was glycosylated, but Mrp2 on day 4 was more glycosylated than on day 0. In conclusion, these data support the hypothesis that glycosylation of Mrp2 is responsible for the increase in molecular mass and may be involved in directing the canalicular localization of Mrp2 in sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes over days in culture.

Canalicular multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2) and basolateral Mrp3 mediate the excretion of organic anions, including conjugated and unconjugated xenobiotics and bile acids, from the liver. The utility of RNA interference to specifically knock down the expression and function of transport proteins was demonstrated in sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes, which exhibit functional and...

The objective of the present investigation was to examine the functional reestablishment of polarity in freshly isolated hepatocytes cultured between 2 layers of gelled collagen (sandwich configuration). Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that the canalicular multispecific organic anion transport protein (multidrug resistance-associated protein, Mrp2) was partially maintained in day 5 hepatocytes...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the hepatobiliary disposition of timosaponin B2 (TB-2), a natural saponin. Although TB-2 has multiple pharmacologic activities, the mechanism of its hepatobiliary disposition has not been explored. Because the metabolism of TB-2 is limited and the accumulation of TB-2 in primary hepatocytes is highly temperature dependent (93% of its accumulation is...

Dexamethasone (DEX) is a well established inducer of CYP3A. These studies examined the influence of DEX treatment on transport protein expression and function in sandwich-cultured (SC) rat hepatocytes. Freshly isolated hepatocytes were cultured between two layers of gelled collagen and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with DEX (0.1 microM, 0-48 h and 0.1-100 microM,...

Multidrug resistance protein 2 (MRP2) is a multispecific organic anion transporter expressed at important pharmacological barriers, including the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. At this location it is involved in the elimination of both endogenous and exogenous waste products, mostly as conjugates, to the bile.
